- ai with ai: Common Sense, Black Boxes, and Getting Robots to Teach Themselves
- /our-media/podcasts/ai-with-ai/season-1/1-21
- Larry Lewis , Director of CNA’s Center for Autonomy and AI , sits in for Dave this week, as he and Andy discuss: a recent report that not all Google employees are happy with Google’s partnership with DoD (in developing a drone-footage-analyzing AI); research efforts designed to lift the lid – just a bit - on the so-called “black box” reasoning of neural-net-based AIs; some novel ways of getting robots/AIs to teach themselves; and an arcade-playing AI that has essentially “discovered” that if you can’t win at the game, it is best to either kill yourself or cheat. The podcast ends with a nod to a new free online AI resource offered by Google, another open access book (this time on the subject of Robotics), and a fascinating video of Stephen Wolfram of Mathematica fame, lecturing about artificial general intelligence and the “computational universe” to a computer science class at MIT.
- ai with ai: Can Anything Stop the Malicious AI??
- /our-media/podcasts/ai-with-ai/season-1/1-20
- Andy and Dave discuss a recently released report on the Malicious Use of AI: Forecasting, Prevention, and Mitigation, which describes scenarios where AI might have devious applications (hint: there’s a lot). They also discuss a recent report that describes the extent of missing data in AI studies, which makes it difficult to reproduce published results. Andy then describes research that looks into ways to alter information (in this case, classification of an image) to fool both AI and humans. Dave has to repeat the research in order to understand the sheer depth of the terror that could be lurking below. Then Andy and Dave quickly discuss a new algorithm that can mimic any voice with just a few snippets of audio. The only non-terrifying topic they discuss involves an attempt to make Alexa more chatty. Even then, Dave decides that this effort will only result in a more-empty wallet.
- ai with ai: Insights Into Russian Developments in AI and Unmanned Systems
- /our-media/podcasts/ai-with-ai/season-1/1-19
- Andy and Dave welcome Sam Bendett , a research analyst for CNA's Center for Strategic Studies, where he is a member of the Russia Studies Program. His work involves Russian defense and security technology and developments, Russian geopolitical influence in the former Soviet states, as well as Russian unmanned systems development, Russian naval capabilities and Russian decision-making calculus during military crises. Sam is in our studio to discuss recent Russian developments in AI and unmanned systems, and to preview an upcoming Defense One summit called " Genius Machines ," which he will be speaking at on March 7.
- ai with ai: Talent, Gadgets, Collaboration, and Doggos
- /our-media/podcasts/ai-with-ai/season-1/1-18
- In another smattering of topics, Andy and Dave discuss the latest insight into the dispersion of global AI start-ups, as well as AI talent. They also describe a commercially available drone that can navigate landscapes and obstacles as it tracks a target. And they discuss an AI algorithm with “social skills” that can teach humans how to collaborate. After chatbots and Deep TAMER, Andy and Dave discuss a few recent videos, including one about door-opening dogs; and, Dave has a meltdown as he fails to recall The Earth Stood Still, but instead substitutes a different celestial body.

- ai with ai: Synapses, Voynich, ELIZA, and Golem XIV
- /our-media/podcasts/ai-with-ai/season-1/1-17
- 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.’
- ai with ai: AI with AI: Lethal Autonomy and the Military Targeting Process, Part II
- /our-media/podcasts/ai-with-ai/season-1/1-16b
- Andy and Dave welcome back Larry Lewis , the Director for CNA's Center for Autonomy and Artificial Intelligence, and welcome Merel Ekelhof , a Ph.D. candidate at VU University Amsterdam and visiting scholar at Harvard Law School. Over the course of this two-part series, the group discusses the idea of "meaningful human control" in the context of the military targeting process, the increasing role of autonomous technologies (and that autonomy is not simply an issue "at the boom"), and the potential directions for future meetings of the U.N. Convention on Certain Weapons.

- ai with ai: Generative Adversarial Networks Galore
- /our-media/podcasts/ai-with-ai/season-1/1-15
- Andy and Dave discuss two recent AI announcements that employ generative adversarial networks: an AI algorithm that can crack classic encryption ciphers (without prior knowledge of English), and an AI algorithm that can "draw" (generate) an image based on simple text instructions. They start, however, with a discussion on the recent rash of autonomous (and semi-autonomous) vehicle incidents, and they also discuss "brain-on-a-chip" hardware, as well as a robot that can learn to do tasks by watching the video.
- ai with ai: Meta AI
- /our-media/podcasts/ai-with-ai/season-1/1-14
- Andy and Dave cover a series of topics that evoke broader to connect with the "meta" questions about the role and nature of AI. They begin with Google's Cloud AutoML announcement, which offers ways to more easily build your own AI. They discuss the announcement of AIs that "defeated" humans on a Standard University reading comprehension text, and the misrepresentation of that achievement. They discuss deep image reconstruction, with a neural net that "read minds" by piecing together images from a human's visual cortex. And they close with discussions about Gary Marcus's recent article, which offers a critical appraisal of Deep Learning, and a recent paper that suggests that convolutional neural nets may not be as good at "grasping" higher-level abstract concepts as is typically believed.
- ai with ai: Countering AI Classifiers, and Introducing Doubt to AI
- /our-media/podcasts/ai-with-ai/season-1/1-13
- Andy and Dave discuss a newly announced method of attack on the speech-to-text capability DeepSpeech, which introduces noise to an audio waveform so that the AI does not hear the original message, but instead hears a message that the attacker intends. They also discuss the introduction of probabilistic models to AI as a way for AI to "embrace uncertainty" and make better decisions (or perhaps doubt whether or not humans should remain alive). And finally, Andy and Dave discuss some recent applications of AI to different areas of scientific study, particularly in the examination of very large data sets.
