Astronomers spot a wandering black hole in empty space for the first time

Posted by in categories: climatology, cosmology, existential risks, information science, robotics/AI, sustainability

Machine learning can work wonders, but it’s only one tool among many.

Artificial intelligence is among the most poorly understood technologies of the modern era. To many, AI exists as both a tangible but ill-defined reality of the here and now and an unrealized dream of the future, a marvel of human ingenuity, as exciting as it is opaque.

It’s this indistinct picture of both what the technology is and what it can do that might engender a look of uncertainty on someone’s face when asked the question, “Can AI solve climate change?” “Well,” we think, “it must be able to do *something*,” while entirely unsure of just how algorithms are meant to pull us back from the ecological brink.

The Ethical Debate About Whether AI Ought To Warn You When The Self-Driving Car That You Are Riding In Is About To Crash

Posted by in categories: robotics/AI, transportation

We’ve all likely had our share of car crashes over the years. Let’s trace the various published research underlying a somewhat simple but altogether crucial question, namely if you know that a crash is about to occur should you go limp or attempt to tighten and brace yourself. Turns out that the answer is complicated and often dependent upon the circumstances at hand. First, there is a popular assumption that you ought to let your body go loose or limp when an impending car crash is about to occur. Some claim that this ragdoll posturing will be advantageous. The purported logic is that we all know that a straight and narrow stick will presumably break and snap entirely when placed under intense pressure. As such, if you tense up, you are risking all manner of personal bodily damage. According to the sage wisdom of Confucius: “The reed which bends in the wind is stronger than the mighty oak which breaks in a storm.”

Full Story:


Quick, you are inside a self-driving car and it is about to get embroiled in a car crash, what should you do? And what should the AI driving system do? Tough questions, for sure.

What is Model Monitoring?

Posted by in categories: food, health, robotics/AI

The AI revolution is here. Machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence are used in virtually every industry today to revolutionize everything from reducing food waste to achieving better health outcomes. In all, IDC forecasts that global enterprise spending on AI will eclipse $204 billion by 2025.

Unfortunately, investments in needed infrastructure may not be keeping pace. Many enterprises are shipping AI blind or relying on outdated model monitoring approaches to catch issues with models in production.

In order to understand the scope of the problem and provide insights on potential solutions, Arize AI recently conducted a survey of 945 data scientists, engineers, executives, and others in the industry. The results speak to a distinct need for better tools to quickly visualize where and why problems are emerging and enable faster root cause analysis when models fail.

Will robots take your job in the near future?


“The real question is, when will we draft an artificial intelligence bill of rights? What will that consist of? And who will get to decide that?” Gray Scott.

McDonald’s is replacing human drive-thru attendants with AI

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

As if drive-through ordering wasn’t frustrating enough already, now we might have a Siri-like AI to contend with. McDonald’s just rolled out a voice recognition system at 10 drive-throughs in Chicago, expanding from the solitary test store they launched a few years ago.

But when will it come to your neighborhood Golden Arches?

“There is a big leap between going from 10 restaurants in Chicago to 14,000 restaurants across the U.S. with an infinite number of promo permutations, menu permutations, dialect permutations, weather — I mean, on and on and on and on,” admitted McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski, reports Nation’s Restaurant News.

AI learns physics to optimize particle accelerator performance

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, finance, information science, robotics/AI

Machine learning, a form of artificial intelligence, vastly speeds up computational tasks and enables new technology in areas as broad as speech and image recognition, self-driving cars, stock market trading and medical diagnosis.

Before going to work on a given task, algorithms typically need to be trained on pre-existing data so they can learn to make fast and accurate predictions about future scenarios on their own. But what if the job is a completely new one, with no data available for training?

Now, researchers at the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have demonstrated that they can use machine learning to optimize the performance of particle accelerators by teaching the algorithms the basic principles behind operations—no prior data needed.
