Artificial Intelligence 2020: Trends, Predictions in the World of AI

There is no doubt that the modernization of digital world along with vast technological advancements have shifted our lifestyle in many different ways. For instance, the massive improvements in Artificial Intelligence have helped individuals and many business owners. These creations or inventions have also changed how people look at things, and communicate.

Artificial Intelligence or also known as AI was predicted decades ago; however, people only associate them with robots. If you would take a closer look, AI is now a part of almost everything we use—from home appliances and means of transportation to personal handy gadgets and office equipment.

AI is now one of the primary systems used in certain devices, which acts as a human or shows human-like characteristics. Ever since, tech-savvy programmers have always seen it with great potentials. Today, almost everyone is taking advantage of these developments for both personal use and career growth. It helps individuals become more efficient and productive. Read More

Military artificial intelligence can be easily and dangerously fooled

Last March, Chinese researchers announced an ingenious and potentially devastating attack against one of America’s most prized technological assets—a Tesla electric car.

The team, from the security lab of the Chinese tech giant Tencent, demonstrated several ways to fool the AI algorithms on Tesla’s car. By subtly altering the data fed to the car’s sensors, the researchers were able to bamboozle and bewilder the artificial intelligence that runs the vehicle. Read More

How Computers See Gender: An Evaluation of Gender Classification in Commercial Facial Analysis and Image Labeling Services

Investigations of facial analysis (FA) technologies—such as facial detection and facial recognition—have been central to discussions about Artificial Intelligence’s (AI) impact on human beings. Research on automatic gender recognition, the classification of gender by FA technologies, has raised potential concerns around issues of racial and gender bias. In this study, we augment past work with empirical data by conducting a systematic analysis of how gender classification and gender labeling in computer vision services operate when faced with gender diversity. We sought to understand how gender is concretely conceptualized and encoded into commercial facial analysis and image labeling technologies available today. We then conducted a two-phrase study: (1) a system analysis of ten commercial FA and image labeling services and (2) an evaluation of five services using a custom dataset of diverse genders using self-labeled Instagram images. Our analysis highlights how gender is codified into both classifiers and data standards. We found that FA services performed consistently worse on transgender individuals and were universally unable to classify non-binary genders. In contrast, image labeling often presented multiple gendered concepts. We also found that user perceptions about gender performance and identity contradict the way gender performance is encoded into the computer vision infrastructure. We discuss our findings from three perspectives of gender identity (self-identity, gender performativity, and demographic identity) and how these perspectives interact across three layers: the classification infrastructure, the third-party applications that make use of that infrastructure, and the individuals who interact with that software. We employ Bowker and Star’s concepts of “torque” and “residuality” to further discuss the social implications of gender classification. We conclude by outlining opportunities for creating more inclusive classification infrastructures and datasets, as well as with implications for policy. Read More

How Complex Machine Learning Will Enter Your Smartphone

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are amongst the emerging trends in Business and Marketing. Yet, a lot of this cleverness is located in the Cloud. Read: in big server parks with high-end processing capabilities. In a not too distant future, several applications will enter our lives that require an increased amount of Intelligence and Computation being implemented closer to the user. Be it for reasons of speed, energy-efficiency or privacy. Think about self-driving vehicles who have to respond more quickly than the time it takes to send data up and down to the cloud. Or privacy-sensitive tasks as voice analysis and face- or fingerprint recognition, for which legal or user constraints might keep you from sending data over the air. In a way, this leads to the question we engineers are now facing: ‘how to get a server rack in your back pocket’? Read More

You can purchase science fiction novels written by an artificial intelligence

Booksby.ai is an online bookstore which sells science fiction novels generated by an artificial intelligence.

Even the covers to this collection of AI-written science fiction novels were created by AI. The reviews are also written by AI. Titles include Bitches of the PointsAuro-Minds and the HungersThe Table in 10, and Breath Chanter. Of course it’s an art project and the writing is a mess, but an excerpt from any of the books could be slipped in the pages of a Gor novel without anyone being the wiser. Read More

With more US doors closing to China what are the supply chain options for its emerging AI champions?

China’s tech champions took a body check last week after eight of them were added to a US trade blacklist, preventing them from buying US technology.

The companies will shrug off US move, but ultimately they will have to find domestic alternatives to current US hardware. Read More

How a Bitcoin Trail Led to a Massive Dark Web Child-Porn Site Takedown

The Department of Justice said today that it has taken down the massive dark web child-porn site Welcome to Video. The site generated and distributed exploitative content, and had infrastructure in place that could have supported up to a million users. In a press conference this morning, US attorney Jessie Liu called it “one of the worst forms of evil imaginable.” …

The takedown is notable also for the investigation that enabled it, which focused not on offensive hacking efforts or surveilling encrypted communications, but on tracing bitcoin transactions. Read More
