3 AI misconceptions IT leaders must dispel

https://enterprisersproject.com/article/2017/12/3-ai-misconceptions-it-leaders-must-dispel?sc_cid=7016000000127ECAAY

 Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing many aspects of how we work and live. (How many stories did you read last week about self-driving cars and job-stealing robots? Perhaps your holiday shopping involved some AI algorithms, as well.) But despite the constant flow of news, many misconceptions about AI remain.

AI doesn’t think in our sense of the word at all, Scriffignano explains. “In many ways, it’s not really intelligence. It’s regressive.” 

IT leaders should make deliberate choices about what AI can and can’t do on its own. “You have to pay attention to giving AI autonomy intentionally and not by accident,”

    A New Approach to Understanding How Machines Think
    https://www.quantamagazine.org/been-kim-is-building-a-translator-for-artificial-intelligence-20190110/

    Neural networks are famously incomprehensible — a computer can come up with a good answer, but not be able to explain what led to the conclusion. Been Kim is developing a “translator for humans” so that we can understand when artificial intelligence breaks down.

    THE NEURAL NETWORK ZOO
    http://www.asimovinstitute.org/neural-network-zoo/

    With new neural network architectures popping up every now and then, it’s hard to keep track of them all. Knowing all the abbreviations being thrown around (DCIGN, BiLSTM, DCGAN, anyone?) can be a bit overwhelming at first.

    So I decided to compose a cheat sheet containing many of those architectures

    Tom Simonite / Wired:
    Strategy Robot, founded by the creators of an AI bot that beat four top professional Texas Hold ‘Em players, signs a $10M two-year contract with the US Army

    A Poker-Playing Robot Goes to Work for the Pentagon
    https://www.wired.com/story/poker-playing-robot-goes-to-pentagon/

    In 2017, a poker bot called Libratus made headlines when it roundly defeated four top human players at no-limit Texas Hold ‘Em. Now, Libratus’ technology is being adapted to take on opponents of a different kind—in service of the US military.

    Libratus—Latin for balanced—was created by researchers from Carnegie Mellon University to test ideas for automated decisionmaking based on game theory. Early last year, the professor who led the project, Tuomas Sandholm, founded a startup called Strategy Robot to adapt his lab’s game-playing technology for government use, such as in war games and simulations used to explore military strategy and planning. Late in August, public records show, the company received a two-year contract of up to $10 million with the US Army.

    World Economic Forum warns of AI’s potential to worsen global inequality
    https://techcrunch.com/2019/01/23/world-economic-forum-warns-of-ais-potential-to-worsen-global-inequality/?sr_share=facebook&utm_source=tcfbpage

    Tech and political leaders sounded the alarm bell today about the potential for artificial intelligence to exacerbate huge inequalities across the world. The mood music coming out of the World Economic Forum is that AI is seen as having great potential to solve some of the world’s most pressing issues (such as climate change), but if individual organizations and countries implement AI systems and others do not, then they will race far ahead, spreading inequality between economies and leading to unforeseen consequences for the planet.

    AI That Creates AI
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVv68aHYSs4

    How can we build AI that creates AI? This concept actually already exists! Google uses self-creating AI as part of its AutoML service that finds the best model for customers. Genetic algorithms and neuroevolutionary strategies offer us a way to replicate the process of natural selection en silico. I’ll talk about ways of using machine learning algorithms to create better machine learning algorithms in this video.

    Flex Logix Unveils Fast Neural Inferencing Engine
    https://www.eeweb.com/profile/eeweb/news/flex-logix-unveils-fast-neural-inferencing-engine

    NMAX, a neural inferencing engine from Flex Logix, provides inferencing throughput from 1 to over 100 TOPS with high MAC utilization even for a batch size of 1, a critical requirement of edge applications. According to Flex Logix, NMAX achieves this performance at a much lower cost and with much less power consumption than competitive solutions. For example, NMAX attains data-center class performance with just one or two LPDDR4 DRAMs, compared to eight or more for other solutions. It also leverages the company’s interconnect technologies developed for eFPGA.

    How computers learn to recognize objects instantly | Joseph Redmon
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cgxsv1riJhI

    Ten years ago, researchers thought that getting a computer to tell the difference between a cat and a dog would be almost impossible. Today, computer vision systems do it with greater than 99 percent accuracy. How? Joseph Redmon works on the YOLO (You Only Look Once) system, an open-source method of object detection that can identify objects in images and video — from zebras to stop signs — with lightning-quick speed. In a remarkable live demo, Redmon shows off this important step forward for applications like self-driving cars, robotics and even cancer detection.

    AI agents developed by Google’s DeepMind subsidiary have beaten human pros at Starcraft II — a first in the world of artificial intelligence. In a series of matches streamed on YouTube and Twitch, AI players beat the humans 10 games in a row. In the final match, pro player Grzegorz “MaNa” Komincz was able to snatch a single victory for humanity.

    It’s All About The Data
    https://semiengineering.com/its-all-about-the-data-2/

    From AI to Moore’s Law, the entire industry is deep in the throes of massive changes.

    The entire tech industry has changed in several fundamental ways over the past year due to the massive growth in data.
    Individually, those changes are significant. Taken together, those changes will have a massive impact on the chip industry for the foreseeable future.

    The obvious shift is the infusion of AI (and its subcategories, machine learning and deep learning) into different markets. Chips are now being built specifically to accelerate AI algorithms. In addition, AI is being used to improve and streamline the design and development of those chips and other technologies.
