The idea of artificial intelligence – job – killing robots, self – driving cars, and self – managing organizations – captures the imagination, evoking a combination of wonder and dread for those of us who will have to deal with the consequences. But what if it’s not quite so complicated?
Category: Machine Learning
Machine learning is an application of artificial intelligence (AI) that provides systems the ability to automatically learn and improve from experience without being explicitly programmed. Machine learning focuses on the development of computer programs that can access data and use it to learn for themselves.
Simple Explanation Of Data Lakehouse: Where Both Structured And Unstructured Data Is Stored
First, there was a data warehouse – an information storage architecture that allowed structured data to be archived for specific business intelligence purposes and reporting. The concept of the data warehouse dates back to the 1980s and has served businesses well for several decades – until the dawn of the
Cyber AI: Improved Security With Data And Machine Intelligence To Fight Against AI Driven Cybercrimes
As organizations struggle with security breaches, cyber AI can be a force multiplier, enabling security teams not only to respond faster than cyberattackers can move but also to anticipate these moves and act in advance. Despite making significant investments in security technologies, organizations continue to struggle with security breaches: Their
Ethical OS: How To Safeguard Users, Communities, Societies, And Companies From New Future Risks?
How can you predict the unintended consequences of the products you are building today? How can you actively safeguard users, communities, societies, and your company from new future risks? As we think about the future of tech at Google, Yoav Schlesinger (Principal for the Tech and Society Solutions Lab at
Edge Of Infectious Diseases, Nanotechnology, Telecommunications, Big Data And Public Health | A Talk By Professor Rachel Mckendry Followed By Q&A Session
Infectious diseases rank among the gravest threats to human health alongside global warming and terrorism. New strains continue to evolve every year and can spread rapidly. The consequences can be devastating. The 1918 Spanish flu killed an estimated 50 million people. Today HIV infects 34 million people and the recent
The Inherent Biases In Algorithms: Everything That Can Go Wrong And The People Who Fix Them
Recent years have seen an eruption of concern about machine learning. When the systems we attempt to teach don’t do what we want or what we expect, ethical and potentially existential risks emerge. In this talk, Brian Christian discusses the inherent biases in algorithms and the varying complexities of the
Practices Of Ethical AI – Part 2: The Positive And Negative Aspects Of AI
This is the second blog in the Ethical AI short series, looking at the positive and negative aspects of AI. The first blog focused on AI failures and identified lessons to be learned by leaders advancing their AI product innovations, or internal usage of AI solutions. The 2021 European Commission
Practices Of Ethical AI – Part 1: AI Failures And Lessons Learned
Earlier in the year, our new book was released on Amazon, called the AI Dilemma, and it discussed the impacts of AI on different industries, ranging from: financial services, government, healthcare, media and technology, manufacturing, retail, to name just a few. As we review the AI ethics landscape, there have
Implications Of The Biases That Have Shaped Society In The Past (Or Shape It Today), On How AI Systems Work – Or Fail To Work Followed By Q&A
The datasets on which AI technologies are trained to carry out a task reflect society, and can contain the biases that were embedded in processes, relationships, or structures at the point of data collection. When this data is used to develop AI, the resulting systems reflect back the social and
Autonomous Self-Driving Cars: The Compulsion Of Studying Animal Cognition, The Role Of Human Common Sense And AI Advances For Self-Driving Cars
Let’s talk about common sense. We all have it, presumably. Some more so than others. When we hear about someone performing a seemingly nonsensical act, there is a strong impulse to immediately decry that the person lacked common sense. You either have it or you don’t. Well, more likely, you
The Boundaries Of AI: What Artificial Intelligence Can And Cannot Do – Followed By Q&A Session
The last decade has seen exciting developments in AI – and AI researchers are tackling some fundamental challenges to develop it further AI research seeks to understand what intelligence is, and then recreate this through computer systems that can automatically perform tasks that require some level of reasoning or intelligence
Connect 2021: Our Vision For The Metaverse By Mark Zuckerberg
At Connect 2021, Mark Zuckerberg laid out our vision of the metaverse as the successor to the mobile internet – a set of interconnected digital spaces that lets you do things you can’t do in the physical world. Importantly, it’ll be characterized by social presence, the feeling that you’re right
