Machine learning algorithms are being used to solve complex problems by playing games. DeepMind developed AlphaGo which was able to beat world champions at the games of Go, Chess, and Shogi by teaching itself without human programming. AlphaGo also defeated top human players in StarCraft 2 using a combination of deep neural networks and tree search methods. While machine learning has achieved successes, it also faces limitations such as bias in training data and lack of human-level judgment in complex ethical scenarios.
The lecture discussed artificial intelligence and its applications. It compared human and artificial intelligence, noting AI's abilities in data processing, knowledge retention, and response time but lack of common sense, fallibility, and limited knowledge bases. Both present risks and benefits. The lecture also examined successes in AI like IBM Watson, self-driving cars, and games as well as debates around sentient AI and whether highly intelligent machines could be dangerous or take human jobs. In conclusion, specialized AI providing benefits to society was deemed acceptable if its development did not aim to mimic human cognition.
This document discusses the potential of games and simulations for learning and skills development. It notes that gaming technologies can transform learning systems and that building games represents a qualitative shift in how we approach production, learning, and research. It advocates experimenting with learning systems that blend physical, virtual, and machine realities and leveraging existing educational gaming environments.
This document provides an overview of artificial intelligence (AI) including definitions, its history and applications. It discusses how AI works using neural networks and demonstrates image recognition. The document outlines several pros and cons of AI as well as addressing concerns about unemployment. It envisions future applications of AI such as in transportation, healthcare and personalized assistance. The content is presented over multiple slides in a training or educational format to introduce key concepts of AI.
XAI aims to increase transparency and accountability in AI systems by making their decision-making processes more explainable to humans. Interest in XAI grew as machine learning models became more complex and opaque. While techniques like deep learning are very effective, they can be difficult for humans to understand. This lack of explainability poses challenges for assessing accountability when things go wrong. Future work on XAI focuses on developing more interpretable and transparent models to provide insight into how AI systems derive their results.
How can Artificial Intelligence help me on the Battlefield?jcscholtes
April 26, 2019, I was asked to present how Artificial Intelligence can help the Battlefield at the officers of the 11th Airmobile Brigade (11e Luchtmobiele brigade in Dutch) of the Dutch forces . The potential benefit of Artificial Intelligence on the battlefield is a very interesting, but also intriguing topic! Here you can find my slides. I also have written a blog on this topic which contains several additional references and can be found as a LinkedIn Article and as blog on www.textmining.nu.
In this deck from the HPC User Forum in Tucson, Steve Conway from Hyperion Research presents: The Need for Deep Learning Transparency.
"We humans don’t fully understand how humans think. When it comes to deep learning, humans also don’t understand yet how computers think. That’s a big problem when we’re entrusting our lives to self-driving vehicles or to computers that diagnose serious diseases, or to computers installed to protect national security. We need to find a way to make these “black box” computers transparent."
"We help IT professionals, business executives, and the investment community make fact-based decisions on technology purchases and business strategy. Our industry experts are the former IDC high performance computing (HPC) analyst team, which remains intact and continues all of its global activities. The group is comprised of the world’s most respected HPC industry analysts who have worked together for more than 25 years."

An introduction into Reinforcement Learning, with an outlook on some of the most prominent problems and promising research from the past couple of years.
World Usability Day, 2018
AI is becoming a greater part of the systems and products we design, yet algorithms have been shown time and time again to be imbued with unintentional racism, sexism, and other -isms. As design and AI fields converge can how researchers, designers, and developers work together to ensure that our powers are used for good, and not for accidental evil?
Intelligence is not Artificial - Stanford, June 2016piero scaruffi
The document discusses artificial intelligence and argues that the field is progressing more slowly than predicted. It makes four main points:
1) Recent AI accomplishments like image recognition and AlphaGo are narrow and rely on large datasets and computational power rather than true intelligence.
2) Progress in AI has not accelerated as much as claimed and past eras saw similar revolutionary changes in technology.
3) Claims of soon achieving superhuman AI are dubious as many animals already demonstrate abilities beyond humans.
4) Machines have long been able to perform tasks humans cannot, but near future AI will focus more on applications like consumer products, healthcare, and jobs rather than general human-level intelligence.

Is the SOC working as a viable business model (or security model)?Jonathan Sinclair
This document discusses the security operations center (SOC) model and whether it is still a viable approach. It notes that traditional SOCs are high cost, do not scale well, rely too heavily on humans, and provide opaque effectiveness. While a SOC is meant to improve security incident detection, existing models may miss threats and be overwhelmed by alerts. The document suggests that instead of scrapping SOCs, organizations should complement technology with approaches like AI, isolation techniques, and focus on resilience and crisis management. A new approach to SOCs is needed that places more trust in technology to detect threats effectively.
The document discusses several topics related to technology disruption and advancement. It begins by predicting that in 2018, companies will continue to struggle with security operations center deployments, incident response, and log fatigue. It also predicts that skills gaps in security will deteriorate further and that phishing attacks will remain common. The document goes on to discuss the lack of accountability and consumer rights issues with the technology industry. It raises concerns about vendor lock-in effects from increased API and cloud integration.

The document goes on to discuss the lack of accountability and consumer rights issues with the technology industry. It raises concerns about vendor lock-in effects from increased API and cloud integration.
Architecting trust in the digital landscape, or lack thereofJonathan Sinclair
This document discusses the zero-trust security model and its implementation challenges. It notes that many data breaches are caused by internal actors like employees. The zero-trust model proposes restricting access and assuming all users may be compromised. However, fully implementing it poses architectural complexities and risks hindering productivity. True security requires balancing controls with usability. Emerging technologies like blockchain and distributed ledgers may help establish new chains of trust across systems. Overall, simplification is needed as complexity breeds new vulnerabilities. There are no perfect solutions, only ongoing efforts to strengthen security through principles like transparency, resiliency and accountability.
SOC: Use cases and are we asking the right questions?Jonathan Sinclair
The document discusses the use of use cases to define the goals and metrics for a security operations center (SOC) program. It suggests developing use cases around monitoring specific threat vectors like the perimeter, infrastructure, and privileged accounts. Use cases should also align the SOC's capabilities with the threats the organization cares most about, such as script kiddies, insider threats, or nation-state actors. Properly defining use cases allows an organization to justify SOC expenditures and determine if it is achieving success.
The document discusses the concept of velocity as it relates to cyber crises. It defines key terms like velocity, breach, and social impact. It argues that traditional measures of time like SI units are not meaningful for understanding crisis response, and that the speed of social networks is more important. It suggests defenders need to understand an adversary's speed, lay traps, and remain agile to keep up with the fast pace of cyber attacks in today's digital world. The current defender model is broken because it cannot respond in real-time at the speed information spreads on social platforms.
The document discusses security from both a blackhat and whitehat perspective. It describes the motivations and goals of blackhats as penetrating systems through intelligence gathering, vulnerability analysis, exploitation, and post-exploitation. It outlines the tools and methodology used by attackers. In contrast, it discusses how whitehats focus on securing systems through awareness, processes, and tools to prevent breaches. The document uses the example of the 2011 Sony breach to demonstrate how an enterprise security failure can damage a company's reputation and profits.

5th Power Grid Model Meet-up
It is with great pleasure that we extend to you an invitation to the 5th Power Grid Model Meet-up, scheduled for 6th June 2024. This event will adopt a hybrid format, allowing participants to join us either through an online Mircosoft Teams session or in person at TU/e located at Den Dolech 2, Eindhoven, Netherlands. The meet-up will be hosted by Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), a research university specializing in engineering science & technology.
Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.

those who drive for a living could be most affected.”
• Autonomous weapons:
• Obama: “I recognize that the potential development of lethal autonomous weapons raises questions that compliance with
existing legal norms—if that can be achieved— may not by itself resolve, and that we will need to grapple with more
fundamental moral questions about whether and to what extent computer algorithms should be able to take a human life.” –

computer program BKG 9.8 which beat
the reigning Backgammon world campion
Luigi Villa by a score of 7-1
5. Checkers/Draughts
In 1989 Jonathan Schaeffer, Robert Lake,
Paul Lu and Martin Bryant programmed
the computer program Chinook.
In 1992 Chinook took on world champion
Marion Tinsley who between 1950 and
1992 only lost 5 games. During
competition Tinsley won 4-2, with 33
draws. Rematch in 1994 was postponed
due to Tinsley’s health.
In 2007 the team announced that
Chinook had developed “perfect play”
which resulted in a win or a draw, never a
loss.
6. Chess
In 1996 IBM research developed the chess
playing program: DeepBlue which played
the world champion Gary Kasperov.
In the first game Kasperov won 4-2.
A rematch took place in 1997 where
DeepBlue won 3.5 – 2.5
7. Games: Machines 1; Humans 0
• Observations from 1997:
• “To play a decent game of Go, a computer must be endowed with the ability to
recognize subtle, complex patterns and to draw on the kind of intuitive knowledge
that is the hallmark of human intelligence.” – George Johnson, NY Times
• “It may be a hundred years before a computer beats humans at Go -- maybe even
longer‘’ -- Dr. Piet Hut, an astrophysicist at the Institute for Advanced Study in
Princeton, N.J.
• “When or if a computer defeats a human Go champion, it will be a sign that artificial
intelligence is truly beginning to become as good as the real thing. Go is the highest
intellectual game‘’ -- Dr. Chen Zhixing, a retired chemistry professor at Zhongshan
University, in Guangzhou, China.
8. GO
In 2015 DeepMind’s AlphaGo program
beats European Go champion Fan Hui
(2nd-dan) 5-0
In 2016 AlphGo beats one of the all time
best Go players Lee Sedol (9th-dan) 4-1
(ranked by some as the 4th best player in
the world)
In 2017 AlphaGo Master beats Ke Jie
(world ranked number 1 player) 3-0
9. Chess/Go/Shogi

11. Why games
• Games are important because:
• They provide a constrained area that is able to:
• Allow inference
• Work within constraints
• Study opponents
• Exploit rules
• Game Theory: Universality
• Decision Theory
• Rational Choice theory
• “We wish to find the mathematically complete principles which define “rational behavior” for the
participants in a social economy, and to derive from them the general characteristics of that behavior”
(von Neumann and Morgenstern 1944, 31).
• Predictability!
12. By way of demonstration
• DeepMind’s algorithms are being deployed on problems such as:
• Data Centre cooling optimisation
• Reduction of 40%
• Wind power applied to the US wind farm network
• Improved predicative model delivering 20% increased performance
13. By way of demonstration
• Microsoft and their smart farm project (show video)
15. Rise and demise of neural networks
• Walter Pitts & Warren McCullough first provide a mathematical model of
an artificial neuron
• Frank Rosenblatt: Developed the perceptron
• Minsky & Papert:
• Wrote the landmark book: Perceptron's which talked to the limits of ‘connectionism’
and partly helped in instigated the AI Winter (1970 and then again in 1980)
16. The AI winter and a Phoenix from the ashes
• The discovery of back propagation networks.
• New marketing drives:
• Support Vector Machines
• Neural Nets
• Machine Learning
• Fuzzy Logic controllers
• Expert systems
• Markov models
• Agent-based systems
19. So how: Machine Learning
• No predefined rules:
• if..this..then…that
• Dynamic rules, self-programmed to determine statistical correlations
based on some success function: Feedback Loop is key
20. Ohh and a LOT of computing power
• Leverage and maturation of Field-programmable gate array (FGPA’s)
chips
• The re-purposing of GPU’s (graphical processing units) for deep
learning training
• The continued miniaturisation of transistors
• Example: AlphaGo = 1,202 CPUs, 176 GPUs
21. A combinatory approach
• Convolutional Neural Network:
• Markov Decision process
• A mathematical way to make decisions in noisy situations where not all knowledge is known
by the decision maker
• Monte Carlo tree search
• A way to randomly sample a decision tree and determine probabilistically promising moves
23. Health care
• Computer aided diagnosis of breast cancer on mammograms (1997)
• Beats the human
• DeepMind and Moorfields Eye Hospital (2016)
• Automatic detection of eye diseases
• Beats the human
• Babylon Health (2018)
• Beats humans on a clinical exam (82%)
• AI model beats humans at predicating heart disease (2018)
• AI beats human doctors in neuroimaging recognition contest (2018)
24. Automated molecular design
• Automating molecule design to speed up drug development
• “Researchers from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) and
Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) have developed a model that better
selects lead molecule candidates based on desired properties. It also modifies the molecular structure
needed to achieve a higher potency, while ensuring the molecule is still chemically valid.”
• How artificial intelligence is changing drug discovery
• “Machine learning and other technologies are expected to make the hunt for new pharmaceuticals
quicker, cheaper and more effective.”
25. IT makes this happen
• We are IT and we can transform the world!
• Chemists aren’t doing this
• Physicists aren’t doing this,
• Social scientists aren’t doing this,
• Mathematicians aren’t doing,
• Algorithms ARE doing this, computation IS doing this. WE do
this!
26. Where it fails
• Tank example
• 1980’s Pentagon Tank identification NN
• 100% success in the lab concerning tank vs. no tank
• Independent tests showed the results were no better than random sampling
• Result after extensive analysis
• “Eventually someone noticed all the images with tanks had been taken on a cloudy day while all the images without tanks had
been taken on a sunny day”
• The neural network had been asked to separate the two groups of photos and it had chosen the most obvious way to do it –
not by looking for a camouflaged tank hiding behind a tree, but merely by looking at the colour of the sky”
27. Tesla
• How it kills:
• Gao Yaning, 23: Jan 20, 2016
• Model S slams into a road sweeper on a highway near Handan
• Joshua Brown, 40: May 7, 2016
• National Highway Traffic Safety Administration stated: the “crash occurred when a
tractor-trailer made a left turn in front of the Tesla, and the car failed to apply the
brakes.”
• News release stated: “Neither autopilot nor the driver noticed the white side of the
tractor-trailer against a brightly lit sky, so the brake was not applied.”
• How it saves:
• Tesla Autopilot drives fatally injured man 20 miles to hospital
• Tesla Model S a 5-star safety rating in every category
28. Bias
• Machine learning is about bias, implicit or otherwise
• Training Set Poisoning
• Ethical quandaries are now highlighting frictions between
local vs. global norms and machine learning is bringing this
to the forefront, forcing humanity to face up to its varied and
incompatible value systems
29. Societal questions (for humanity and AI)
• What would an AI do when:
• The Trolley Problem:
• You see a runaway trolley moving toward five tied-up people lying on the tracks.
• You are standing next to a lever that controls a switch.
• If you pull the lever, the trolley will be redirected onto a side track, and the five people
on the main track will be saved. However, there is a single person lying on the side track.
You have two options:
• Do nothing and allow the trolley to kill the five people on the main track
• Pull the lever, diverting the trolley onto the side track where it will kill one person.
• Mother or child:
• One is stranded in the ocean and there is only enough food for you and another but
there are three of you in the boat. One male, one female and one child.
• Who’s sacrificed?
30. Last thoughts
• AI/ML:
• We’re no further forward in understanding strong AI
• We can’t talk to and/or won’t even recognise other intelligences
• Corvid, Cetacean, Mammalian
• We’ve got very good at applying statistical methods to human
problems, which is enjoying a huge amount of success
34. AI on the march?
• AI vs. Machine learning
• What is AI (Artificial Intelligence?) Everything and nothing:
• It’s:
• Weak AI – An expert system (one facet of the intelligence cube)
• Strong AI – AI that truly embodies what is generally recognised as ‘intelligent’ behaviour
• Symbolic AI:
• The manipulation of symbols to deduce logic
• Neural Networks (modern ML):
• Biologically inspired classifying nodal units
35. Failure of the Symbol system
• General Problem Solver-
• Simon, Shaw, Newell
• SHRDLU – natural language processing system for performing tasks in
a block world
• Cyc – failed symbol problem
