Happy Pi-cast! Andy and Dave discuss some of the stories that have followed the New York Times articles on Clearview AI, to include Twitter telling the company to stop using its photos, and a consortium of 40 agencies calls on the U.S. government to ban facial recognition systems until more is known about the technology. Meanwhile, London’s Metropolitan Police is rolling out live facial recognition technology. BlueDot says that it used AI and its epidemiologists to send a warning about the Wuhan virus on 31 December 2019, a full week before the US CDC announcement on 6 January 2020. Google releases the largest high-resolution map of the fruit fly’s brain, with 25,000 neurons. DARPA’s Gremlin (X-61A) drone system makes its first test flight. And the Guinness Book of World Records recognizes Stephen Worswick as the most frequent winner (5 times) of the Loebner Prize, for his Mitsuku chatbot. In research, Facebook AI achieves near-perfect (99.9%) navigation without needing a map, testing its algorithm in its AI Habitat. Robert J. Marks makes The Case * for * Killer Robots. The Brookings Institute’s Indermit Gill predicts that the AI leader in 2030 will “rule the planet” until at least 2100.

 In recent announcements, Andy and Dave discuss the National Endowment for Science, Technology, and the Arts (Nesta) launch of a project that is ‘Mapping AI Governance;’ MIT Tech Review’s survey of AI and ML research suggests that “the era of deep learning coming to an end” (or does it?); a December 2018 survey shows strong opposition to “killer robots;” China has (internally) released a report on its view of the “State of AI in China;” and DARPA wants to build conscious robots using insect brains, announcing its (mu)BRAIN Program. In research topics, Andy and Dave discuss the recent competition between DeepMInd’s AlphaStar and human professional gamers in playing Starcraft II. MIT and Microsoft have created a model that can identify instances where autonomous systems have learned from training examples that don’t match what’s happening in the real world, thus creating blind spots. Boston University publishes research that allows an ordinary camera to “see” around corners using shadow projection, in essence turning a wall into a mirror – and doing so without any AI or ML techniques. In papers and reports, the Office of the Director for National Intelligence releases its AIM Initiative – a strategy for augmenting intelligence using machines; a report provides a survey of the state of self-driving cars, and another report surveys the state of AI/ML in medicine. Game Changer takes a look at AlphaZero’s chess strategies, while The Hundred-Page Machine Learning Book offers a condensed overview of ML. The Association for the Advancement of AI conference (27 Jan – 1 Feb) begins to release videos of the conference, including an Oxford-style debate on the Future of AI. And finally, Andy and Dave conclude with a “hype teaser” for next week – with SELF AWARE robots!
