/our-media/podcasts/ai-with-ai/season-2/2-2

Andy and Dave focus on a variety of big news items, including Google bows out of the bidding for the Pentagon’s “JEDI” cloud contract valued at $10 billion; the Government Accountability Office releases a 50-page report on the poor state of the cybersecurity of U.S. weapons systems; “The Big Hack” makes big news, with Bloomberg reporting that China inserted a tiny chip on hardware in order to infiltrate U.S. networks; the U.S. Department of Transportation looks to rewrite safety rules in order to accommodate fully driverless vehicles on public roads; two leaders in collaborative robots (Rethink and Jibo) close their doors; and DeepMind announces efforts to discuss “Technical AI safety” including the areas of specification (true intentions), robustness (safety upon perturbation), and assurance (understanding and control). The latter topic launches further discussion into ethics-related efforts for AI, including the UK Machine Intelligence Garage Ethics Committee; a paper on the motivations and risks of machine ethics; and research from North Caroline State University shows that the (Association for Computing Machinery) code of ethics does not appear to affect the decisions made by software developers. All the excitement somehow causes Dave to invoke Jean Valjean when he means to say Javert. C’est la vie! Finally, Andy describes a couple of motherlodes of papers; Biostorm by Anthony DeCapite makes the story of the week; ZDNet ranks 36 of the best movies on AI; AutoML is prepping an open access book on AutoML, and Dave goes fanboy over the Automata web series from Penny Arcade.

In COVID-related AI news, hospitals across the US are using an AI system called Deterioration Index to provide a snapshot of patients’s risks, even though the software has not yet been validated to be effective for those with COVID-19. Meanwhile, Qure.ai has retooled its qXR system, designed for chest x-rays, to detect COVID-induced pneumonia, and a preliminary validation study with 11,000 images found a 95% accuracy in distinguishing patients with and without COVID-19. The Digital Ethics Lab at University of Oxford has provided a set of ethical guidelines (16 yes/no questions) for those making COVID-19 Digital Tracking and Tracing (DTT) systems. And Carnegie Mellon provides five interactive maps for COVID-related issues in the US. The Joint AI Center unveils Salus, a prototype AI tool for examining where COVID-19 might impact logistics and supply chains. And Reuters spends time to debunk a false claim on the relation of AI to COVID-19. In regular AI news, Washington State passes major facial recognition legislation, defining how state and local government may use facial recognition. DARPA selects Georgia Tech and Intel to lead its Guaranteeing AI Robustness against Deception (GARD) program. And the Association for the Understanding of AI launches AIhub.org, to connect the public and AI community. In research, two German Institutes investigate the roles of different neurons in neural networks, and found populations that serve different functions; in addition, these populations could be extracted to a new network without having to train the new network on the same knowledge. Research from Bar-Ilan University demonstrate human brain learning mechanisms that outperform common AI learning algorithms, to include observing the same image 10 times in a second being more effective than observing the same imagine 1000 times in one month. The book of the week comes from Matthieu Thiboust, with Insights from the Brain, which aims to provide "neuroscience chunks of information related to AI." And CBS News 60 Minutes has a report on BlueDot, the company that warned its clients about the COVID-19 outbreak a week before the CDC.

/our-media/podcasts/ai-with-ai/season-2/2-11

Andy and Dave discuss Rodney Brooks' predictions on AI from early 2018 and his (on-going) review of those predictions. The European Commission releases a report on AI and Ethics, a framework for "Trustworthy AI." DARPA announces the Knowledge-directed AI Reasoning over Schemas (KAIROS) program, aimed at understanding "complex events." The Standardized Project Gutenberg Corpus attempts to provide researchers with broader data across the project's complete data holdings. And MORS announces a special meeting on AI and Autonomy at JHU/APL in February. In research, Andy and Dave discuss work from Keio University, which shows that slime mold can approximate solutions to NP-hard problems in linear time (and differently from other known approximations). Researchers in Spain, the UK, and the Netherlands demonstrate that kilobots (small 3 cm robots) with basic communication rule-sets will self-organize. Research from UCLA and Stanford creates an AI system that mimics how humans visualize and identify objects by feeding the system many pieces of an object, called "viewlets." NVIDIA shows off its latest GAN that can generate fictional human faces that are essentially indistinguishable from real ones; further, they structure their generator to provide more control over various properties of the latent space (such as pose, hair, face shape, etc). Other research attempts to judge a paper on how good it looks. And in the "click-bait" of the week, Andy and Dave discuss an article from TechCrunch, which misrepresented bona fide (and dated) AI research from Google and Stanford. Two surveys provide overviews on different topics: one on the safety and trustworthiness of deep neural networks, and the other on mini-UAV-based remote sensing. A report from CIFAR summarizes national and regional AI strategies (minus the US and Russia). In books of the week, Miguel Herman and James Robins are working on a Causal Inference Book, and Michael Nielsen has provided a book on Neural Networks and Deep Learning. CW3 Jesse R. Crifasi provides a fictional peek into a combat scenario involving AI. And Samim Winiger has started a mini-documentary series, "LIFE," on the intersection of humans and machines.
