/our-media/podcasts/ai-with-ai/season-2/2-20
Andy and Dave discuss “activation atlases,” recent work from OpenAI and Google that offers a new technique for visualizing interactions between the neurons in an image classifying deep neural network. The UCLA Center for Vision, Cognition, Learning, and Autonomy together with the International Center for AI and Robot Autonomy publish work on RAVEN – a dataset for Relational and Analogical Visual rEasoNing, which uses John Raven’s Progressive Matrices for testing joint spatial-temporal reasoning; in combination with a dynamic residual tree method, they see improvement over other methods, but still short of human performance. Research from the University of New South Wales uses machine learning to predict which of two patterns a subject will choose before the subject is aware of which one they have chosen. And Google Brain publishes research that demonstrates BigGAN, capable of generating high-fidelity images with much fewer (10-20%) labeled data. In announcements, DARPA holds its AI Colloquium on 6-7 March; the US Army is investing $72M into CMU for AI research; OpenAI launches OpenAI LP, a new company for funding safe artificial *general* intelligence; and the IEEE is set to release on 29 March the first edition of its Vision for Prioritizing Human Well-being with Autonomous and Intelligent Systems. In reports of the week, the Allen Institute for AI examines the quality of AI papers and predicts that China will soon overtake the US in quality AI research; MMC publishes an examination of the State of AI in Europe; a paper looks at predicting research trends in the publications on Arxiv, and another paper surveys deep learning advances on different 3D data representations. Dive into Deep Learning is the book of the week, available online. The University of Vermont uses AI and Project Gutenberg stories to identify six main arcs of storytelling. Dear Machine, by Greg Kieser, is the AI sci-fi story of the week. John Sunda Hsia’s website compiles the “ultimate guide” to all of the upcoming AI and ML conferences. And the Allen Institute releases a “dumbed down” version of OpenAI’s GPT-2, with some resulting humorous reflections.

Andy and Dave start this week’s episode with a superconducting ‘synapse’ that could enable powerful future neuromorphic supercomputers. They discuss an attempt to use AI to decode the mysterious Voynich manuscript, and then move on to Hofstadter’s take on the shallowness of Google Translate (with mention of the ELIZA effect). After discussing DroNet’s drones that can learn to fly by watching a driving video, and updating the Domain-Adaptive Meta-Learning discussion where a robot can learn a task by watching a video, they close with some recommendations of videos and books, including Lem’s ‘Golem XIV.’

/our-media/podcasts/ai-with-ai/season-5/5-2
Andy and Dave discuss the latest in AI news and research, including: NATO releases its first AI strategy, which included the announcement of a one billion euro “NATO innovation fund.” [0:52] Military research labs in the US and UK collaborate on autonomy and AI in a combined demonstration, integrating algorithms and automated workflows into military operations. [2:58] A report from CSET and MITRE identifies that the Department of Defense already has a number of AI and related experts, but that the current system hides this talent. [6:45] The National AI Research Resource Task Force partners with Stanford’s Human-Centered AI and the Stanford Law School to publish Building a National AI Research Resource: A Blueprint for the National Research Cloud. [6:45] And in a trio of “AI fails,” a traffic camera in the UK mistakes a woman for a car and issues a fine to the vehicle’s owner; [9:10] the Allen Institute for AI introduces Delphi as a step toward developing AI systems that behave ethically (though it sometimes thinks that it’s OK to murder everybody if it creates jobs); [10:07] and a WSJ report reveals that Facebook’s automated moderation tools were falling far short on accurate identification of hate speech and videos of violence and incitement. [12:22] Ahmed Elgammal from Rutgers teams up with Playform to compose two movements for Beethoven’s Tenth Symphony, for which the composer left only sketches before he died. And finally, Andy and Dave welcome Dr. Heather Wolters and Dr. Megan McBride to discuss their latest research on the Psychology of (Dis)Information, with a pair of publications, one providing a primer on key psychological mechanisms, and another examining case studies and their implications.

In COVID-related news, Nature publishes a review of COVID-19 AI tools, emphasizing that most tools are still in development and largely unproven. Inserm selects Expert System's AI support for its COVID-19 research and its group of over 10,000 researchers. Researchers provide in open-source a large annotated dataset of CT and X-ray images from COVID-19 patients, called the BIMCV COVID-19+. In regular AI news, Microsoft announces that it will not sell its facial recognition technology to police departments in the US until a national law is in place to help govern its use. On that note, a new federal bill in development, the Justice in Policing Act, contains policy guidelines on the use and limitations of facial recognition technology for police. OpenAI releases a commercial product API for accessing its AI models, to include the 175B parameter GPT-3, although other researchers are expressing concern over the lack of accountability on bias. Facebook announces the winner of its Deepfake Challenge, where the winning model achieved at 65% accuracy on a set of 10,000 previously unseen clips. And Boston Dynamics makes its robot dog, Spot, available for sale at $74,500 plus tax. In research, a team at Duke University introduces PULSE, which sharpens blurry images, in essence by exploring the space of plausible high-res images that could result in the blurry image. The report of the week comes from Perry World House, who published the results of a Policy Roundtable on AI hosted last fall. The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute and the International Committee of the Red Cross offer their take on Limits on Autonomy in Weapon Systems, by identifying the practical elements of human control. The review of the week from University of Waterloo provides an overview of text detection and recognition in the wild. MacroPolo provides a snapshot of Global AI Talent, using participants from the 2019 NeurIPS. Spring-Verlag provides yet another free text, from Eiben and Smith, on an Introduction to Evolutionary Computing. And NavyCon 2020 provides brief snapshots on "navies, science fiction, and great power competition" from a host of participants.

/our-media/podcasts/ai-with-ai/season-3/3-32
In this week's COVID-related AI news, Andy and Dave discuss "SciFact" from the Allen Institute for AI, which built on neural network VeriSci and can link to supporting or refuting materials for claims about COVID-19. Berkeley Labs releases COVIDScholar, which uses natural language processing text-mining to search over 60,000 papers and draw insights and connections. Berekely Labs also announces plans to use machine learning to estimate COVID-19's seasonal cycle. In non-COVID AI news, Google publishes a response to the European Commission's white paper on AI, cautioning that their definition of AI is far too broad and risks stifling innovation. CSET maps where AI talent is produced in the U.S., where it gets concentrated, and where AI funding equity goes. In research, OpenAI releases GPT-3, a 175B parameter NLP model, and shows that massively scaling up the language model greatly improves task-agnostic few-shot performance. A report from the European Parliament's Panel for the Future of Science and Technology shows the ethics initiatives of nations around the globe. A review paper in Science suggests that progress in AI has stalled (perhaps as much as 10 years) in some fields. Abbass, Scholz, and Reid publish Foundations of Trusted Autonomy, a collection of essays and reports on trustworthiness and autonomy. And in the video of the week, CSIS sponsored a conversation with (now retired) JAIC Director, Lt Gen Shanahan.

/our-media/podcasts/ai-with-ai/season-2/2-9
The Joint Artificial Intelligence Center is up and running, and Andy and Dave discuss some of the newer revealed details. And the rebranded NeurIPS (originally NIPS), the largest machine learning conference of the year, holds its 32nd annual conference in Montreal, Canada, with a keynote discussion on “What Bodies Think About” by Michael Levin. And a group of graduate students have create a community-driven database to provide links to tasks, data, metrics, and results on the “state of the art” for AI. In other news, one of the “best paper” awards at NeurIPS goes to Neural Ordinary Differential Equations, research from University of Toronto that replaces the nodes and connections of typical neural networks with one continuous computation of differential equations. DeepMind publishes its paper on AlphaZero, which details the announcements made last year on the ability of the neural network to play chess, shogi, and go “from scratch.” And AlphaFold from DeepMind brings machine learning methods to a protein folding competition. In reports of the week, the AI Now Institute at New York University releases a 3rd annual report on understanding social implications of AI. With a blend of technology and philosophy, Arsiwalla and co-workers break up the complex “morphospace” of consciousness into three categories: computational, autonomy, and social; and they map various examples to this space. For interactive fun of generating images with a GAN, check out the “Ganbreeder,” though maybe not before going to sleep. In videos of the week, “Earworm” tells the tale of an AI that deleted a century; and CIMON, the ISS Robot, interacts with the space crew. And finally, Russia24 joins a long history of people dressing up and pretending to be robots.
