Part of the power of AI and deep learning is that AI training can indiscriminately learn things we don’t explicitly instruct it to learn. Unfortunately, it can pick up on trends that we would rather it not – such as the inherent gender bias in our use of language. Companies

Developing Mindset Of Attitudes And Behaviors That Enable Organizations To See How Data, Algorithms, And AI Open Up New Possibilities
Learning new technological skills is essential for digital transformation. But it is not enough. Employees must be motivated to use their skills to create new opportunities. They need a digital mindset: a set of attitudes and behaviors that enable people and organizations to see how data, algorithms, and AI open
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
Algorithms Alone Can’t Solve Complex Human Problems – UK Exam Results U-Turn
Exam results decided by an Ofqual algorithm for up to 97% of A-level and GCSE students in England will now be scrapped and the projected ‘mock’ grades decided by individual teachers will be reinstated, in a humiliating U-turn for the government. The controversial algorithm, implemented to give standardized grades to
Artificial Intelligence & Algorithms: Pros & Cons | DW Documentary
This documentary journeys to the hot spots of AI research in Europe, the USA and China, and looks at the revolutionary developments which are currently taking place. The rapid growth of AI offers many opportunities, but also many dangers. AI can be used to create sound and video recordings which will make it more and more difficult to distinguish between fact and fiction.
How Algorithms Shape Our World
We live in a world run by algorithms, computer programs that make decisions or solve problems for us. In this riveting, funny talk, Kevin Slavin shows how modern algorithms determine stock prices, espionage tactics, even the movies you watch. But, he asks: If we depend on complex algorithms to manage our daily decisions — when do we start to lose control?
