Boston dynamics. The chess games of AlphaZero (Computer) AylerKupp: <<SChesshevsky> I think this game is a nice example of how these learning-engines have a pretty good advantage over standard evaluation based engines.
Seems basically these learning engines work backward. > Sorry for the delay in commenting but I just saw this comment when I was posting my last comment. But, no, these learning engines don't work backward; they "work forward" just like "standard evaluation based engines". In this paper, published in 1950 but written in 1949, Shannon describes the overall structure of such a computer program, a strategy for choosing a move in any position using the minimax algorithm, the use of an evaluation function consisting of many factors to assess each position, the use of search tree pruning, and many other ideas that are commonly incorporating in today's engines and have been for some time.
So both classic and neural network-based engines work somewhat similarly. Aristo. Aristo: A.I. can now score an ‘A’ on 8th-grade science tests. Could you score an 'A' on an eighth-grade science test?
If so, you're in the same league as Aristo, an artificial intelligence system whose remarkable language and logic skills highlight recent progress in the A.I. industry. For context: Four years ago, some 700 computer scientists competed for $80,000 to develop an A.I. that could merely pass an eighth-grade science test. None scored higher than 60 percent.
But now, thanks to improved "language models" driven by neural networks, systems like Aristo are becoming much better at predicting language and understanding how to apply it to solve logic-based tasks. AI Now Institute. 3 startups commercializing Deepfakes media manipulation tech. This Person Does Not Exist. OpenAI unveils multitalented AI that writes, translates, and slanders. OpenAI’s researchers knew they were on to something when their language modeling program wrote a convincing essay on a topic they disagreed with.
They’d been testing the new AI system by feeding it text prompts, getting it to complete made-up sentences and paragraphs. Then, says David Luan, VP of engineering at the Californian lab, they had the idea of asking it to argue a point they thought was counterintuitive. In this case: why recycling is bad for the world. “And it wrote this really competent, really well-reasoned essay,” Luan tells The Verge. OpenAI’s GPT-2: the model, the hype, and the controversy.

“Alexa, where did I put my car keys?” “Alexa, can you please run my life for me?” Okay, so we may not have arrived at that last point just yet, but we’re probably closer than we think. During a panel on Thursday at the Fast Company Innovation Festival, senior staff writer Jeff Beer interviewed Amazon vice president of Smart Home Daniel Rausch about all things Alexa, from its humble beginnings in 2014’s Echo, when it could accomplish just 13 tasks, to a future where it will be everywhere—even more everywhere than the 70 new Alexa-enabled devices that Amazon recently announced.
According to Rausch, customers continue to want Alexa in more places. National Geographic Documentary: Year Million (Artificial Intelligence) Artificial Intelligence: Mankind's Last Invention.

Swami Sivasubramanian lives in a wooded area in the Seattle suburbs that’s a favorite with opportunistic local bears.
From time to time, usually on garbage night, the animals wander into Sivasubramanian’s backyard to pillage his trash. But try as they might, he and his family had never managed to spot the intruders. “My wife really wanted to see these bears in action,” says Sivasubramanian, Amazon’s VP of machine learning. “She will always try to stay up looking for bears to visit, and she wants me to give her company.” Sivasubramanian cops to being kind of lazy on that front. DeepMind's AI will learn inside Unity's video game worlds. Intelligent design versus evolution isn’t just a divide in people’s worldviews.
It’s also been a divide in the artificial intelligence community. Until just a few years ago, AI was mainly about humans coding smart algorithms–from bank fraud detectors to autonomous video game characters. But with massive server farms, machine learning AI can run wild in the boundless fields of data that society generates–and often intuit algorithms faster and better than humans could program them.

Why would anyone pay so much for a robotic dog? My ongoing research suggests part of the attraction might be explained through humanity’s longstanding connection with various forms of puppets, religious icons, and other figurines, that I collectively call “dolls.” These dolls, I argue, are embedded deep in our social and religious lives. Spiritual and social dolls As part of the process of writing a “spiritual history of dolls,” I’ve returned to that ancient mythology of the Jewish, Christian, and Muslim traditions where God formed the first human from the dirt of the earth, and then breathed life into the mud-creature.

Ban 'killer robots' to protect fundamental moral and legal principles. When drafting a treaty on the laws of war at the end of the 19th century, diplomats could not foresee the future of weapons development.
But they did adopt a legal and moral standard for judging new technology not covered by existing treaty language. This standard, known as the Martens Clause, has survived generations of international humanitarian law and gained renewed relevance in a world where autonomous weapons are on the brink of making their own determinations about whom to shoot and when.
The Martens Clause calls on countries not to use weapons that depart “from the principles of humanity and from the dictates of public conscience.” I was the lead author of a new report by Human Rights Watch and the Harvard Law School International Human Rights Clinic that explains why fully autonomous weapons would run counter to the principles of humanity and the dictates of public conscience.

The company – Neuralink – is still in the earliest stages of development. Neuralink and the Brain's Magical Future. Can emotional AI make Anki’s new robot into a lovable companion? Twenty years on from Deep Blue vs Kasparov: how a chess match started the big data revolution. On the seventh move of the crucial deciding game, black made what some now consider to have been a critical error.
When black mixed up the moves for the Caro-Kann defence, white took advantage and created a new attack by sacrificing a knight. In just 11 more moves, white had built a position so strong that black had no option but to concede defeat. The loser reacted with a cry of foul play – one of the most strident accusations of cheating ever made in a tournament, which ignited an international conspiracy theory that is still questioned 20 years later. This was no ordinary game of chess. It’s not uncommon for a defeated player to accuse their opponent of cheating – but in this case the loser was the then world chess champion, Garry Kasparov.
In defeating Kasparov on May 11 1997, Deep Blue made history as the first computer to beat a world champion in a six-game match under standard time controls. DeepMind. The Robotic Art Competition.

In Brief At its I/O '17 conference this week, Google shared details of its AutoML project, an artificial intelligence that can assist in the creation of other AIs.
By automating some of the complicated process, AutoML could make machine learning more accessible to non-experts. Google’s AutoML One of the more noteworthy remarks to come out of Google I/O ’17 conference this week was CEO Sundar Pichai recalling how his team had joked that they have achieved “AI inception” with AutoML. Teaching machines to understand – and summarize – text. We humans are swamped with text. It’s not just news and other timely information: Regular people are drowning in legal documents. The problem is so bad we mostly ignore it. Every time a person uses a store’s loyalty rewards card or connects to an online service, his or her activities are governed by the equivalent of hundreds of pages of legalese.
Most people pay no attention to these massive documents, often labeled “terms of service,” “user agreement” or “privacy policy.” CIMON Is the World's First Robot AI Going to Space With Astronauts. A Neural Network Generates Surprisingly Elegant Images of Dinosaurs Composed of Plants. AI Is Inventing Languages Humans Can’t Understand. Should We Stop It? Why we don't trust robots. Robots raise all kinds of concerns. They could steal our jobs, as some experts think. And if artificial intelligence grows, they might even be tempted to enslave us, or to annihilate the whole of humanity. Robots are strange creatures, and not only for these frequently invoked reasons. We have good cause to be a little worried about these machines.

But unlike many other industries, the higher education sector has yet to be really influenced by AI. Uber has disrupted the taxi sector, Airbnb has disrupted the hotel industry and Amazon disrupted first the bookselling sector, then the whole retail industry.
It is only a matter of time then until the higher education sector undergoes a significant transformation. How artificial intelligence can detect – and create – fake news.
