A.I. Has a Bias Problem, and Only Humans Can Make It a Thing of the Past
Big tech has a far-from-sparkling record when it comes to hiring a diverse workforce—and that’s a problem that could bleed into the future. The reason? Without more women and people of color driving the development of artificial intelligence, the results that the technology will spit back out will be, to put it mildly, problematic.
Google offers a new example of how its A.I. research is improving search results
The company says it will have the ability to consider the full context of a searched word by assessing the words that come before and after. The update is a result of a new artificial intelligence training system it calls BERT, which stands for Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers.
Researchers develop platform for scalable testing of autonomous vehicle safety
In the race to manufacture autonomous vehicles (AVs), safety is crucial yet sometimes overlooked as exemplified by recent headline-making accidents. Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign are using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to improve the safety of autonomous technology through both software and hardware advances.
A.I. Regulation Is Coming Soon. Here’s What the Future May Hold
Last year Angela Merkel’s government tasked a new Data Ethics Commission with producing recommendations for rules around algorithms and A.I. The group’s report landed Wednesday, packed with ideas for guiding the development of this new technology in a way that protects people from exploitation.
Twitter Says A.I. Is Now Removing Over Half of Its Abusive Tweets Before They’re Flagged
