ai with ai: Nuclear War and/or Better French Fries

/our-media/podcasts/ai-with-ai/season-1/1-29

Andy and Dave discuss a couple of recent reports and events on AI, including the Sixth International Conference on Learning Representations (ICLR). Next, Edward Ott and fellow researchers have applied machine learning to replicate chaotic attractors, using "reservoir computing." Andy describes the reasons for his excitement in seeing how far out this technique is able to predict a 4th order nonlinear partial differential equation. Next, Andy and Dave discuss a few adversarial attack-related topics: a single-pixel attack for fooling deep neural network (DNN) image classifiers; an Adversarial Robustness Toolbox from IBM Research Ireland, which provides an open-source software library to help researchers in defending DNN against adversarial attacks; and the susceptibility of the medical field to fraudulent attacks. The BAYOU project takes another step toward giving AI the ability to program new methods for implementing tasks. And Uber Labs releases source code that can train a DNN to play Atari games in about 4 hours on a *single* 48-core modern desktop! Finally, after a review of a few books and videos, including Paul Scharre's new book "Army of None," Andy and Dave conclude with a discussion on potatoes.

cna talks: Arms Control Without a Treaty

/our-media/podcasts/cna-talks/2019/4/arms-control-without-a-treaty

In this episode of CNA Talks, Madison Estes joins Vince Manzo to discuss his new report, “Nuclear Arms Control Without a Treaty? Risks and Options after New START.” Vince points out that the New START treaty is set to expire in February 2021 and that many uncertainties and obstacles stand in the way of its renewal or replacement. For example, Russia would like a new treaty to cover missile defense systems, which the U.S. has called a nonstarter. Madison highlights that while the New START Treaty is between Russia and the U.S., the treaty has implications for the entire international system. She calls China the third beneficiary of the treaty‘s transparency requirement, which makes the U.S. and Russia disclose the size of their nuclear forces. Finally, Vince highlights some potential options for nuclear arms control without a treaty that could establish predictability, mutual restraint and transparency.
