Quantum computers could make encryption a thing of the past, but 15 contenders are trying to prove they have what it takes to safeguard your data.
… Five of the shortlisted candidates announced last week use lattice approaches that have no known quantum solution, and NIST’s new status report says they are “the most promising general-purpose algorithms” in the list. Read More

CAI Achieves Milestone: White Paper Sets the Standard for Content Attribution
Today marks a significant milestone for the Content Authenticity Initiative (“CAI”) as we publish our white paper, “Setting the Standard for Content Attribution”. It addresses the mounting challenges of inauthentic media and our proposal for an industry-standard content attribution solution that will enable creators to securely attach their identity and other information to their work before they share it with the world.

Sign language recognition using deep learning
TL;DR It is presented a dual-cam first-vision translation system using convolutional neural networks. A prototype was developed to recognize 24 gestures. The vision system is composed of a head-mounted camera and a chest-mounted camera and the machine learning model is composed of two convolutional neural networks, one for each camera. Read More
AI and the Workforce
Artificial intelligence will transform the nature of work and affect virtually all aspects of the economy. However, artificial intelligence is not the first technology to have such wide-reaching impacts on the workforce, and the United States has gone through various technological transitions in the past.
For instance, the steam engine helped give rise to the Industrial Revolution. Initially developed in the 18th century to pump water out of mines, the technology behind the steam engine was quickly found to have other uses that spurred industry and innovation. The steam engine disrupted the jobs of many workers and made certain skillsets less in demand or even obsolete, but it also created many new manufacturing jobs. Read More
Artificial Intelligence and National Security
Artificial intelligence will have immense implications for national and international security, and AI’s potential applications for defense and intelligence have been identified by the federal government as a major priority.
There are, however, significant bureaucratic and technical challenges to the adoption and scaling of AI across U.S. defense and intelligence organizations. Moreover, other nations—particularly China and Russia—are also investing in military AI applications. As the strategic competition intensifies, the pressure to deploy untested and poorly understood systems to gain competitive advantage could lead to accidents, failures, and unintended escalation.
