/our-media/podcasts/ai-with-ai/season-2/2-18

OpenAI has trained an unsupervised language model that can perform basic reading comprehension, summarize text, answer questions, and generate coherent paragraphs; as Andy and Dave discuss, the bigger news came from OpenAI's decision to release a less-capable version of the GPT-2 model, "for the good of humanity," as one news site claimed. IBM's Project Debater lost a debate with champion debater Harish Natarajan, but more of the audience said Project Debater better enriched their knowledge on the topic. Princeton and Microsoft announce NAIL, an agent for playing general interactive fiction (such as the Zork series), and consisting of multiple Decision Modules for performing various tasks.

AI Safety Navy Action Plan

/analyses/2019/10/ai-safety-navy-action-plan

In light of the Navy’s stated commitment to using AI, and given the strategic importance of AI safety, we provide the Navy with a first step towards a comprehensive approach to safety. We use a risk management approach to frame our treatment of AI safety risks: identifying risks, analyzing them, and suggesting concrete actions for the Navy to begin addressing them. The first type of safety risk, being technical in nature, will require a collaborative effort with industry and academia to address. The second type of risk, associated with specific military missions, can be addressed in a combination of military experimentation, research, and concept development to find ways to promote effectiveness along with safety. For each types of risk, we use examples to show concrete ways of managing and reducing the risk of AI applications. We then discuss institutional changes that would help promote safety in the Navy’s AI efforts.

in the DOD AI strategy, with one of the four lines of effort being AI ethics and safety. That said, in current DOD AI efforts and in public discourse about DOD AI applications, safety can appear to be the forgotten stepchild of ethics. Ethics as a term is used to cover the broad set of concerns regarding military use of AI. The DOD’s Defense Innovation Board is developing a set of ethical ... be consistent with American values and principles. While there is a strong focus on ethics, issues of AI safety—including negative operational outcomes such as civilian casualties, fratricide

/our-media/podcasts/ai-with-ai/season-2/2-25

Andy and Dave discuss the Department of Energy’s attempt to create the world’s longest acronym, with DIFFERENTIATE (Design Intelligence for Formidable Energy Reduction Engendering Numerous Totally Impactful Advanced Technology Enhancements), and to accelerate the incorporation of ML into energy technology and product design. Google cancels its AI ethics board after thousands of employees sign a petition calling for the removal of one member with anti-LGBTQ and anti-immigrant views. NASA unveils the Astrobees, one-foot cube robots that will work autonomously on the International Space Station to check inventory and monitor noise levels, among other things. And Microsoft partners with the French online education platform OpenClasrooms to train and recruit promising students in AI. Research from the Eindhoven University of Technology and the University of Trento takes a biologically “inspired” approach to neural net learning, through Neuron Elevation Traces (NATs), that allow additional data storage in each synapse; the result appears to increase the plasticity of the synapses. A mathematical reasoning model from DeepMind can solve some arithmetic, algebra, and probability problems, though sometimes gets simple calculations incorrect (such as 1 + 1 + … + 1, for n>=7). And research creates a musculoskeletal system that can use muscle activation to simulate movement and control. A report from Element AI examines the Global AI Talent distributions in 2019, to include (perhaps not surprisingly) the observation that the supply of top-tier AI talent does not meet the demand. A paper in Nature Reviews Physics surveys the physics of brain network structure, function, and control. A short sci-fi story from Jeffrey Ford describes The Seventh Expression of the Robot General. And Andy highlights a video from 1961 on The Thinking Machine.

/our-media/podcasts/ai-with-ai/season-1/1-32

In breaking news, Andy and Dave discuss a few cracks seem to be appearing in Google's Duplex demonstration; more examples of the breaking of Moore's Law; a Princeton effort to advance the dialogue on AI and ethics; India joins the global AI-sabre-rattling; the UK Ministry of Defence launches an AI hub/lab; and the U.S. Navy dissolves its secretary-level unmanned systems office. Andy and Dave then discuss a demonstration of "zero-shot" learning, by which a robot learns to do a task by watching a human perform it once. The work reminds Andy of the early natural language "virtual block world" SHRDLU, from the 1970s. In other news, the research team that designed Libratus (a world-class poker-playing AI) announced they had developed a better AI that, more importantly, is also computationally orders of magnitude less expensive (using a 4-core CPU with 16 GB of memory). Next, research with Intel and the University of Illinois UC has developed a convolutional neural net to significantly improve low-ISO image quality while shooting at faster shutter speeds; Andy and Dave both found the results for improving low-light images to be quite stunning. Finally, after yet another round of a generative adversarial example (in which Dave predicts the creation of a new field), Andy closes with some recommendations on papers, books, and videos, including Galatea 2.2 and The Space of Possible Minds.

For research topics, Andy and Dave discuss the task-agnostic self-modeling machine from Columbia University, a robotic arm that learns to build an approximate model of itself and then interact with the world; they also discuss the over-hyped reporting of the research. A much less hyped, but possibly more groundbreaking research from MIT results in a robot that can play the tower-block game Jenga, using multisensory fusion to do so. More research from MIT attempts to synthesize probabilistic programs for automatic data modeling. Research from the University of Tubingen shows that approximating convolutional neural nets with bag-of-local-features modeling yields decent results with ImageNet. And the University of Washington and the Allen Institute for AI announce the Atlas of Machine Commonsense (ATOMIC), a collection of 877k textual descriptions of inferential knowledge, which allows more accurate inference for previously unseen events.
