3. Why AI?
1. The FBI says it has hacked into the San Bernardino shooter's iPhone without Apple’s help. The fact that the FBI was apparently
able to get the encrypted data without Apple's help raised new security quesBons about Apple's devices.
2. Instagram is trying to calm down some of its highest-profile users over new changes being introduced to the app. The photo app
plans to completely change the way its feed works by algorithmically ranking photos, instead of showing them in reverse
chronological order.
3. Japan’s NTT Data Corp has agreed to buy Dell's IT consulBng division for over $3 billion. NTT Data Corp wants to expand in North
America and improve its services business.
4. The Google.com search engine could be accessed briefly in mainland China on
Sunday. Chinese internet users put posts online saying they were able to use Google’s search
engine through Google.com, Google.com.hk, Google.com.vn, Google.com.sg.
5. Oracle wants $9.3 billion in damages from Google over Android's use of certain parts of Java, a programming language acquired
by Oracle. The next round of Oracle's ongoing copyright lawsuit against Google will begin on May 9.
6. MicrosoX has admiYed it faces some "difficult" challenges in AI design aXer its chat bot, "Tay," had an offensive meltdown on
social media. Tay, an AI bot aimed at 18- to 24-year-olds, was deacBvated within 24 hours of going live.
7. The deadline for anyone interested in making an offer to buy Yahoo's core business is April 11. Yahoo sent out leYers to
potenBal buyers.
8. Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos said he signed the $250 million Washington Post deal with no due diligence. He also didn't try and
negoBate the price.
9. Uber CEO Travis Kalanick said he has "no idea" whether Uber will IPO in the next two years, three years, or five years. "I'm going
to make sure it happens as late as possible," he said in an interview with CNBC on Monday.
10. Google is sBll declining to reveal who sits on a dedicated board for looking at the
ethics of arBficial intelligence. The board was set up aXer Google acquired London AI lab DeepMind in 2014

10 Things In Tech You Need To Know Today – March 29 2016, BI
Sep 2016: The ethical dilemma of bestowing moral responsibili;es on robots calls for rigorous
safety and preventa;ve measures that are fail-safe, or the threats are too significant to risk.
(Hawking, Musk, and Gates)
Feb. 2016: A new species
A new version of Atlas, designed to operate outdoors and inside buildings. It is specialized for
mobile manipulaBon. It is electrically powered and hydraulically actuated. It uses sensors in its
body and legs to balance and LIDAR and stereo sensors in its head to avoid obstacles, assess the
terrain, help with navigaBon and manipulate objects. This version of Atlas is about 5' 9" tall
(about a head shorter than the DRC Atlas) and weighs 180 lbs.

5. What is AI?
According to the father of Artificial Intelligence, John McCarthy,
AI is The science and engineering of making intelligent machines,
especially intelligent computer programs.

6. Laws of Robotics
A Bot’s Mission
A bot’s mission is to make human life better, to provide a
helping hand, and to do so proficiently and courteously.
#6
Prime rules
Bots may not harm
humans —
including, anything
unlawful, illegal,
spam, informaBon
theX or fraud.
Bots will obey
humans — bots
should follow
human instrucBons
to the best of their
ability as long as it
does not conflict
with the first rule.

7. Singularity
The Singularity is an era in which our intelligence will become
increasingly nonbiological and trillions of times more powerful than it
is today—the dawning of a new civilization that will enable us to
transcend our biological limitations and amplify our creativity.
#7
Futurist Ray
Kurzweil cited von
Neumann's use of
the term in a
foreword to von
Neumann's classic
The Computer
and the Brain.

8. Recursive self-improvement
Google/DeepMind Technologies, Feb 2015: In Video Pinball,
the AI crushed human players with a system that was more
than 20 times better than a professional human game tester.

9. Goals of AI
To Create Expert Systems − The systems which exhibit intelligent behavior,
learn, demonstrate, explain, and advice its users.
To Implement Human Intelligence in Machines − Creating systems that
understand, think, learn, and behave like humans.
