Artificial intelligence (AI) is the intelligence exhibited by machines or software. It is also the name of the academic field of study which studies how to create computers and computer software that are capable of intelligent behavior. Major AI researchers and textbooks define this field as "the study and design of intelligent agents", in which an intelligent agent is a system that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chances of success.
John McCarthy, who coined the term in 1955, defines it as "the science and engineering of making intelligent machines".
AI research is highly technical and specialized, and is deeply divided into sub fields that often fail to communicate with each other. Some of the division is due to social and cultural factors: sub fields have grown up around particular institutions and the work of individual researchers. AI research is also divided by several technical issues. Some sub fields focus on the solution of specific problems. Others focus on one of several possible approaches or on the use of a particular tool or towards the accomplishment of particular applications.
The central problems (or goals) of AI research include reasoning, knowledge, planning, learning, natural language processing (communication), perception and the ability to move and manipulate objects. General intelligence is still among the field's long-term goals. Currently popular approaches include statistical methods, computational intelligence and traditional symbolic AI. There are a large number of tools used in AI, including versions of search and mathematical optimization, logic, methods based on probability and economics, and many others. The AI field is interdisciplinary, in which a number of sciences and professions converge, including computer science, mathematics, psychology, linguistics, philosophy and neuroscience, as well as other specialized fields such as artificial psychology.
The field was founded on the claim that a central property of humans, human intelligence—the sapience of Homo sapiens sapiens—"can be so precisely described that a machine can be made to simulate it." This raises philosophical arguments about the nature of the mind and the ethics of creating artificial beings endowed with human-like intelligence, issues which have been explored by myth, fiction and philosophy since antiquity. Artificial intelligence has been the subject of tremendous optimism but has also suffered stunning setbacks. Today AI techniques have become an essential part of the technology industry, providing the heavy lifting for many of the most challenging problems in computer science.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies are evolving fast and growing increasingly critical for a sporting organisation’s ability to:
- win games;
- improve coaches and players;
- manage internal operations; and
- grow, serve and retain their fans.
The imperative exists for sporting teams not to just adopt a singular AI technology but rather to have access to an arsenal of AI technologies that will improve their ability to generate and act on critical insights; whether it’s fan engagement, talent identification, pre-game preparation or in-game real-time facilitation.
This paper explores some of the specific AI applications being experimented across sporting codes, learnings from other sports and the current AI market. I also pose some ethical questions the sporting industry need to consider before introducing AI technologies into their codes.

Through a comprehensive exploration, this talk would intend to uncover the inner workings of GANs and demystify their training process. This talk shall help you gain insights into the different types of GANs, such as conditional GANs and style-based GANs, and how they contribute to the advancement of generative AI. To truly appreciate the significance of GANs, this talk will also discuss their wide-ranging industrial applications, spanning image synthesis, video generation, data augmentation, and virtual reality.
The Future of Humanity
Through our interaction with machines, we develop emotional, human expectations of them. Alexa, for example, comes alive when we speak with it. AI is and will be a representation of its cultural context, the values and ethics we apply to one another as humans.
This machinery is eerily familiar as it mirrors us, and eventually becomes even smarter than us mere mortals. We’re programming its advantages based on how we see ourselves and the world around us, and we’re doing this at an incredible pace. This shift is pervading culture from our perceptions of beauty and aesthetics to how we interact with one another – and our AI.
Infused with technology, we’re asking: what does it means to be human?
Our report examines:
• The evolution of our empathy from humans to animals and robots
• How we treat AI in its infancy like we do a child, allowing it space to grow
• The spectrum of our emotional comfort in a world embracing AI
• The cultural contexts fueling AI biases, such as gender stereotypes, that drive the direction of AI
• How we place an innate trust in machines, more than we do one another
Methodology
For this report, sparks & honey conducted US-focused research on the future of AI. Together with Heartbeat AI Technologies, we examined the emotional sentiment (feeling and emotions) around artificial intelligence in a Heartbeat AI Pulse Survey of 150 people in the US. Tapping into our Influencer Advisory Board and proprietary cultural intelligence system, we combed through thousands of signals to build a vision of the future of AI. We also interviewed leading experts in the field of artificial intelligence.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

3. Chapter 1: AI in Production, Supply Chain, and Distribution
The authors explore AI in manufacturing and supply chain, in factories
where humans are working in partnership with smaller, more adaptable,
context-aware robots.
They describe how flexible, highly productive human-machine teams “fulfill
customized orders and handle fluctuations in demand.”
This chapter also takes a quick look at the use of AI in unmanned vehicles
and concludes with a brief history of AI.

Chapter 5: Rearing Your Algorithms Right: Three Roles Humans Play in
Developing and Deploying Responsible AI
Daugherty and Wilson describe “how humans are helping machines to
extend and amplify their capabilities.” This chapter considers in depth the
ways in which humans can complement machines by training, explaining, and
sustaining them. It also describes specific jobs and responsibilities for trainers,
explainers, and sustainers.
The authors state, “Machine learning, when integrated into processes, will lead
to a variety of brand-new jobs. … Employees will be needed to design and
train algorithms, to explain the algorithms used, and to do so in a way that
sustains the algorithms within a process.”

Chapter 6: Rearing Your Algorithms Right: Three Roles Humans Play in
Developing and Deploying Responsible AI
In this chapter, the authors discuss the superpowers that AI can give humans,
describing three types of augmentation through which “people are achieving
huge performance boosts by working with AI technologies that dramatically
improve their human capabilities; they amplify, interact, and embody new
human potential. These new types of human-machine relationships are helping
people … by offloading tedious tasks and by enabling them to perform their
work faster and more effectively through the expert guidance, advice, and
support from AI systems.” The chapter describes specific jobs for AI agents
that amplify, interact, and embody

Chapter 7: A Leader’s Guide to Reimagining Process: Five Steps to
Getting Started
Daugherty and Wilson discuss the challenges that AI introduces, which “require
different, new responses from management and leadership.” The authors consider the
first four of five crucial steps that executives must take to facilitate the reimagining of
processes.
1. Mindset—Imagine processes that might be.” “Executives must adopt the proper mindset, with
a focus on not just improving business processes but rather on completely reimagining business
processes and the way that work is performed.” They must discover, describe, co-create, scale, and
sustain.
2. Experimentation—Imagine an experiment.” “[Executives] need to foster a culture of AI
experimentation that allows them to quickly realize how and where the technology can change a
process, and where it makes sense to increase the scale and scope of a process.” They must build,
measure, and learn.
23. 23
Chapter 7: A Leader’s Guide to Reimagining Process: Five Steps to
Getting Started (cont.)
3. Leadership—Imagine a blended culture of people and machines.” “[Executives] must
exercise the proper leadership in promoting responsible AI by managing the trust, legal, and
ethical concerns that accompany AI and by considering the societal consequences of some process
changes.” They must install guardrails, use human checkpoints, minimize protections for the
technology itself, and consider legal and psychological
4. Data—Imagine a data supply chain.” “Executives need to recognize the crucial importance of
data, not just their firm’s own AI-enabling data but also the broader landscape of available
data.” They must think dynamically, widen access and increase variety, increase velocity, enable
discovery, and fill the missing middle.

Chapter 8: Extending Human + Machine Collaboration: Eight New
Fusion Skills for an AI Workplace
This chapter looks at the fifth step that executives must take as human-
machine collaborations become more prevalent. Daugherty and Wilson
consider the future of work and hiring for and developing eight fusion skills
that are essential to an AI workplace.
Identifying “the concept of fusion skills—humans and machines coming
together to [create] new kinds of jobs and work experiences [that form] the
missing middle”—was a key discovery of the authors’ qualitative research.

Government:
- There are underlying risks and ethical issues with its implementation that need to
be resolved before AI becomes part of the fabric of government;
- The Business of Government and the Partnership for Public Service, agencies
will need to address multiple risks and ethical imperatives in order to realize the
opportunity that AI technology brings;

Organizations:
- AI is proving to be a double-edged sword. While this can be said of most new
technologies, both sides of the AI blade are far sharper, and neither is well
understood..
• Positive situation: Saving cost and improve processing; improve our lives in myriad ways;
simplifying our shopping; enhancing our healthcare experiences;
“McKinsey Global Institute research suggests that by 2030, AI could deliver additional global economic output
of $13 trillion per year”.
29. 29
Organizations:
AI is a relatively new force in business, few leaders have had the opportunity to
hone their intuition about the full scope of societal, organizational, and
individual risks, or to develop a working knowledge of their associated drivers,
which range from the data fed into AI systems to the operation of algorithmic
models and the interactions between humans and machines.
Negative situation “knock-on effect” : privacy violations; discrimination;
accidents, and manipulation of political systems, etc.
• “Disastrous repercussions - including the loss of human life, if an AI medical algorithm goes
wrong, or the compromise of national security, if an adversary feeds disinformation to a military
AI system—are possible, and so are significant challenges for organizations, from reputational
damage and revenue losses to regulatory backlash, criminal investigation, and diminished public
knock-on effect :it causes other events or situations, but not directly

Organizations:
• Recommended “C-Suite” to Understanding the risks and their drivers:
Leaders hoping to shift their posture from hindsight to foresight need to better understand the types of
risks they are taking on, their interdependencies, and their underlying causes. To help build that missing
intuition, we describe below five pain points that can give rise to AI risks.
1. Data difficulties
2. Technology troubles
3. Security snags
4. The algorithms
5. Human–Machine interactions
“Leaders to lump in AI risks with others owned by specialists in the IT and analytics organizations (“I trust my
technical team; they’re doing everything possible to protect our customers and our company”).

very much as a strategic opportunity.)
2. Talent and Leadership (Partnering with a leading technology company on improving the data and AI
skills of practitioners ; Improving the skills and understanding of AI among senior management with
dedicated courses. )
3. Ways of working (taking risks with AI-related investment decisions ; Use advanced processes ; Use
design thinking, involving the end user in development of AI tools; he organization follow a standard
protocol to build and deliver AI tools )
4. Models, tools, and technology (Test AI models ,standard tool frameworks, end-to-end platform ;
high-performance computing cluster for AI workloads )
5. Data: (Well-defined governance processes , internal processes , to ensure data quality,etc; A data
dictionary (ie, a metadata repository)
6. Adoption (Building the technology took us much less time than alignment and getting people to
adopt it; ‘train and explain.’ it’s enough. We’ve found it very useful to bring the associates who are
experts in the application domain into the build of the solution.” )
