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,”

    AI for Social Good
    https://www.blog.google/outreach-initiatives/google-org/ai-social-good/

    In pop culture, artificial intelligence (AI) often shows up as a robot companion, like TARS in “Interstellar,” or some far-out superintelligence. But in reality, AI—computer programming tools that help us find patterns in complex data and make everyday products more useful—already powers a lot of technology around us, and is addressing some of society’s biggest unsolved challenges.

    EU to launch a six-month trial of iBorderCtrl, an AI lie detector that looks for “biomarkers of deceit”, at its external borders in Hungary, Latvia, and Greece

    An AI Lie Detector Is Going to Start Questioning Travelers in the EU
    https://gizmodo.com/an-ai-lie-detector-is-going-to-start-questioning-travel-1830126881

    A number of border control checkpoints in the European Union are about to get increasingly—and unsettlingly—futuristic.

    In Hungary, Latvia, and Greece, travelers will be given an automated lie-detection test—by an animated AI border agent. The system, called iBorderCtrl, is part of a six-month pilot led by the Hungarian National Police at four different border crossing points.

    “We’re employing existing and proven technologies—as well as novel ones—to empower border agents to increase the accuracy and efficiency of border checks,”

    Could Reimbursement for AI Solutions Really Be That Tricky?
    https://www.mddionline.com/could-reimbursement-ai-solutions-really-be-tricky

    Eric Hargan, Deputy Secretary for Health and Human Services, spoke with MD+DI during Cleveland Clinic’s 2018 Medical Innovation Summit about the difficulties of reimbursement for AI solutions.

    “The process by which software is integrated into medical care is a hard thing to quantify,” Hargan told MD+DI from the media room at the Innovation Summit. “Normally if you have software embedded in – say a pacemaker – it’s easy to know what the software is doing. But when you venture out where technology is starting to do things like possibly analyze a disease state or support clinical decisions, you end up with something where the program in itself is seeming to participate in medicine. It’s analyzing and diagnosing things.”

    He added, “how do we deal with that? From a reimbursement point of view, how do we have an AI [solution] go through a set of medical records and have them to say this is highlighting potential medical issues and looking at past decisions that were made for a patient. How do we pay for that, what is the value that’s being provided by the AI?”

    Hargan said the biggest issue was determining how to reimburse a technology that could move so rapidly. He gave the example of a hospital system with two million patients. He asked what happens when you reimburse a hospital system for using a solution that will give a second opinion on each patient. He gave a hypothetical example of where the AI solution could be run every two-to-three days on the two million patients, noting that in this scenario reimbursement costs could be astronomical.

    “Because it’s capable of doing this quickly and in scale, you can very easily run into an issue of reimbursement,” Hargan said. “We have to be careful about how we use the AI or how we pay for it, because if we leave it entirely out of the equation, we’re not going to incentivize people to use a revolutionary technology. We don’t want to cut that off or chill that innovation, but on the other hand, if we step out in a way that’s not thoughtful we might end up breaking the bank for the taxpayer.”

    Will ‘Deepfakes’ Disrupt the Midterm Election?
    https://www.wired.com/story/will-deepfakes-disrupt-the-midterm-election/

    Plenty of people are following the final days of the midterm election campaigns. Yale law researcher Rebecca Crootof has a special interest—a small wager. If she wins, victory will be bitter sweet, like the Manhattan cocktail that will be her prize.

    In June, Crootof bet that before 2018 is out an electoral campaign somewhere in the world will be roiled by a deepfake—a video generated by machine learning software that shows someone doing or saying something that in fact they did not do or say. Under the terms of the bet, the video must receive more than 2 million views before being debunked. If she loses, Crootof will owe a sporting tiki drink to Tim Hwang, director of a Harvard-MIT project on ethics and governance of artificial intelligence. If she wins, it will validate the fears of researchers and lawmakers that recent AI advances could be used to undermine democracy.

    The US midterms are seen as a possible target that could prove the pessimists right. Facebook says the elections have already attracted other, more conventional disinformation campaigns.

    ‘Privacy is a human right’: Big cheese Sat-Nad lays out Microsoft’s stall at Future Decoded

    Oggy oggy oggy, AI AI AI

    AI was, however, the focus for Nadella. The CEO highlighted Microsoft’s firsts in the field to date, ending with human parity in translation in March 2018 and insisting that kind old Microsoft had “democratised” the technology thanks to Azure AI.

    But Azure ain’t free so that “democratisation” comes at a fee. Just like the real thing (or so it seems these days).

    Earlier in Future Decoded, Microsoft had announced the arrival of AccountGuard for UK customers “in the political space”. The service, which is already available for US users, ramps up protections on a politico’s Office 365 account as well as providing a direct line to Microsoft’s Defending Democracy team.

    All part of protecting the democratic process. For Office 365 users at any rate.

    The theme of AI continued throughout Nadella’s keynote as the CEO wrestled with the thorny issue of trust.

    Taking a page from Apple’s playbook, Nadella was keen to highlight the efforts made by the Microsoft in privacy. Amazon, in its September gadgetfest, famously failed to utter the “P” word once. Nadella, on the other hand, was more forthright, seeing the recently introduced GDPR as a good first step before declaring: “Privacy is a human right.”

    AI Begins To Reshape Chip Design
    https://semiengineering.com/ai-begins-to-reshape-chip-design/

    Technology adds more granularity, but starting point for design shifts as architectures cope with greater volumes of data.

    Artificial intelligence is beginning to impact semiconductor design as architects begin leveraging its capabilities to improve performance and reduce power, setting the stage for a number of foundational shifts in how chips are developed, manufactured and updated in the future.

    AI—and machine learning and deep learning subsets—can be used to greatly improve the functional control and power/performance of specific functions within chips. For those purposes it can be layered on top of existing devices, as well as incorporated into new designs, allowing it to be applied across a wide swath of functions or targeted at a very narrow one.

    There are a number of benefits AI provides. Among them:

    It adds increasing granularity for speeding up performance and reducing power by varying the accuracy of specific functions through sparser algorithms or data compression.
    It provides the ability to process data as patterns rather than individual bits, effectively raising the abstraction level for computing and increasing the density of the software.
    It allows processing and memory read/writes to be done as a matrix, greatly speeding up those operations.

    But AI also requires a significant rethinking of how data moves—or doesn’t move—across a chip or between chips. Regardless of whether it is applied at the edge or in the data center, or whether it involves training or inferencing, the amount of data being processed and stored can be enormous.

    The Multiple Faces And Phases Of AI
    Confusion grows as AI finds its way into more applications.
    https://semiengineering.com/the-multiple-faces-and-phases-of-ai/

    AI is being used in more ways and more devices—and in more ways in those same devices—raising the level of confusion about exactly what people are talking about when they refer to AI and AI-enabled systems.

    AI is both a tool and a process. It also is a thing, although not even remotely close to the singularity portrayed by Arthur C. Clarke in 2001. And as it proliferates, it’s becoming harder to distinguish one from the other. There also are subsets of AI, notably machine learning and deep learning, and literally dozens of neural network variants that enable AI to work.

    On the tools side, AI is being added into everything from verification to manufacturing. It is a way of establishing a guide for what is considered an acceptable Gaussian distribution based upon huge amounts of data input.

    Most neural network chips and IP talk about ResNet-50 benchmarks (image classification at 224×224 pixels). But we find that the number one neural network of interest for most customers is real-time object recognition, such as YOLOv3.

    It’s not possible to do comparisons here because nobody shows a YOLOv3 benchmark for their inferencing. But it’s very possible to improve on the inferencing performance of other devices.

    Deep learning has a DRAM problem. Systems designed to do difficult things in real time, such as telling a cat from a kid in a car’s backup camera video stream, are continuously shuttling the data that makes up the neural network’s guts from memory to the processor.

    The problem, according to startup Flex Logix, isn’t a lack of storage for that data; it’s a lack of bandwidth between the processor and memory.

    Mountain View–based Flex Logix had started to commercialize a new architecture for embedded field-programmable gate arrays (eFPGAs). But after some exploration, one of the founders, Cheng C. Wang, realized the technology could speed neural networks.

    How US-based Truepic and UK-based Serelay discern true images from fakes by using proprietary algorithms to automatically verify photos the moment they’re made

    https://www.technologyreview.com/s/612357/deepfake-busting-apps-can-spot-even-a-single-pixel-out-of-place/

    Two startups are using algorithms to track when images are edited—from the moment they’re taken.

    Falsifying photos and videos used to take a lot of work. Either you used CGI to generate photorealistic images from scratch (both challenging and expensive) or you needed some mastery of Photoshop—and a lot of time—to convincingly modify existing pictures.

    Now the advent of AI-generated imagery has made it easier for anyone to tweak an image or a video with confusingly realistic results. Earlier this year, MIT Technology Review senior AI editor Will Knight used off-the-shelf software to forge his own fake video of US senator Ted Cruz. The video is a little glitchy, but it won’t be for long.

    That same technology is creating a growing class of footage and photos, called “deepfakes,” that have the potential to undermine truth, confuse viewers, and sow discord at a much larger scale than we’ve already seen with text-based fake news.

    Fight AI with AI! Code taught to finger naughty deepfake vids made by machine-learning algos
    It works for now because the forgeries are quite easy to spot
    https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/11/06/fight_ai_deepfakes/

    The rise of AI systems that can generate fake images and videos has spurred researchers in the US to develop a technique to sniff out these cyber-shams, also known as deepfakes.

    Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) are commonly used for creative purposes. These neural networks have helped researchers create made-up data to train artificially intelligent software when there is a lack of training material, and has also assisted artists in creating portraits.

    However, like anything tech-related, there is also a sinister side. The technology has been abused by miscreants to paste the faces of actresses, ex-girlfriends, politicians, and other victims, onto the bodies of porn stars. The result is fairly realistic, computer-generated video of people seemingly performing X-rated acts.

    Now, PhD student Yuezun Li and Siwei Lyu, an associate computer-science professor at the New York state university in Albany, have come up with a technique that attempts to identify deepfake videos, such as those crafted by the open-source DeepFake FaceSwap algorithm.

    Deepfakes are, for now, not hard for humans to spot. The doctored videos are uncanny, the facial expressions aren’t very natural, and any motion is pretty laggy and glitchy. They also have a lower resolution than the source material. Thus, people should be able to realize they are being hoodwinked after more than a few seconds. However, as the technology improves, it would be nice if machines could be taught the tell-tale signs of these forgeries so as to alert unaware folks in future.

    Exposing human data to algorithms exposes bias, and if we are considering the outputs rationally, we can use machine learning’s aptitude for spotting anomalies.

    For the last few years the media has been awash with hyperbole about artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning technologies.

    Discussions about computer technologies tend to be conducted via myths, metaphors, and human interpretations of what is presented to us via the computer screen. Metaphors such as “intuition”, “creativity”, and novel “strategies” are part of an emerging mythology. AI pundits identify patterns in its game moves and call them “strategies”, but the neural-network has no idea what a “strategy” is. If there really is any “creativity” here, it is the creativity of DeepMind researchers who devise and manage the processes that train the systems.

    UK mathematician Hannah Fry on the promise and danger of an AI world.

    Humans can’t tell you accurately how they’re arriving at decisions. Humans are sloppy and messy and irrational.

    What is the most dangerous algorithm?

    In terms of wide-reaching impact, the stuff that’s happened with Facebook’s Newsfeed is really, really concerning. Fifteen years ago, let’s say, all of us were watching all the same TV programs, were reading the same newspapers. The places we would get our news, and especially our politics, tended to be universal.

    Bonsai Algorithm Enables Machine Learning On Arduino With A 2KB RAM Footprint
    https://www.cnx-software.com/2018/10/31/bonsai-algorithm-machine-learning-arduino-2kb-ram/

    Machine learning used to be executed in the cloud, then the inference part moved to the edge, and we’ve even seen micro-controllers able to do image recognition with GAP8 RISC-V micro-controller.

    But I’ve recently come across a white paper entitled “Resource-efficient Machine Learning in 2 KB RAM for the Internet of Things” that shows how it’s possible to perform such tasks with very little resources
