In COVID-related AI news, Andy and Dave discuss a Facebook model that provides county-level forecasts on the spread of COVID-19. IN non-COVID AI news, DeepMind’s AlphaFold 2 won the 14th biennial Critical Assessment of Structure Prediction (CASP), scoring above 90 on a global distance test for around two-thirds of the test proteins. Partnership on AI establishes The AI Incident Database (AIID) to provide an open-access resource on failures of AI systems, currently containing over 1,000 publically available “incident reports.” CSET publishes a report on ‘”Cool Projects” or “Expanding the Efficiency of the Murderous American War Machine?”’ which examines the perspectives of US AI industry professional toward working on Department of Defense funded AI projects. The UN, in conjunction with Trend Micro Research and the European Cybercrime Centre, releases a report on Malicious Uses and Abuses of AI, which highlights the potential physical impacts of hackers on autonomous- and AI-related technologies. And LtGen Michael Groen, the new Director of the Joint AI Center, provides an overview of the JAIC’s goals and objectives. In research, NVidia, Rice University, and Caltech publish the BONGARD-LOGO benchmark set, as an expansion of the Bongard Problems, which provide free-form shape concepts to test context-dependent perception, analogy-making perception, and perception with few samples. Joshua C. Gellers provides the book of the week, examining the case for Rights for Robots. And Google AI releases Verse by Verse, which draws upon the writings of various poets to help users generate their own poems, of which Andy and Dave both share examples.

ai with ai: Elementary, Dear GPT

/our-media/podcasts/ai-with-ai/season-3/3-42

In COVID-related AI news, Andy and Dave discuss survey from Amazon Web Surveys that examines the current status of Internet of Things applications related to COVID-19, include scenarios that might help to reduce the severity of an outbreak. MIT publishes an combinatorial machine learning method to maximize the coverage of a COVID-19 vaccine. In "quick takes" on research, Andy and Dave discuss research from Microsoft, University of Washington, and UC Irvine, which provides a checklist to help identify bugs in natural language processing algorithms. A paper from Element AI and Stanford examines whether benchmarks for natural language systems actually correspond to how we use those systems. University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Columbia University, and US Army Research Lab introduce GAIA, which processes unstructured and heterogeneous multimedia data and creates a coherent knowledge base, and allows for text queries. Research published in Nature Neuroscience examines the brain connectivity of 130 mammalian species and finds efficiency of information transfer through the brain does not depend on the size or structure of any specific brain. And finally, Andy and Dave spend some time talking about the broader implications of GPT-3, the experiments that people are conducting with it, and how it is not an AGI. Dave concludes with an analogy from Star Trek: the Next Generation, that he gets mostly correct, though he misattributes Geordi La Forge's action to Dr. Pulaski. If only he had a positronic matrix!

In this episode of CNA Talks, Joshua Tallis sits down with Elizabeth Cutler to discuss his new book, "The War for Muddy Waters." Tallis articulates the need to conceptualize maritime security through a single framework, rather than as a series of individual threats, such as piracy and drug trafficking. He applies theories traditionally used in criminology to maritime security challenges, examining approaches to prevent crime as a whole rather than focusing on different types of crime.
