"We jokingly play chicken with
them when we're trying to cross the
street," he said. "You see one about
to make a right turn at a light, and
they're obviously trying to decide if
we're going to step into the street
or not. It's so tempting to sort of
step toward the curb, which makes
the car stop instantly and wait for
you to go, except you don't go.
"We're just messing with it," he
said, "to see what it'll do.”

"AI is “our greatest existential threat…” “I’m increasingly inclined to think that there should be some regulatory oversight, maybe at the national and international level, just to make sure that we don’t do something very foolish.” “I think there is potentially a dangerous outcome there.” (referring to Google’s Deep Mind which he invested in to keep an eye on things)."

Redesigning work in an age of automation

Plan

Instead of fretting over how easily and soon humans will be replaced, leaders would be better advised to think about the future of automation as interlacing machine strengths with those of humans. Work will need redesigning, but the AI enabled automation – done well – can unlock economic growth, fuel innovation and make work more humanA presentation given at @FutureheadsUK Leaders of Change, at CaptialOne, on 5th December 2018, by Kevin McCullagh.

Design in an Age of Automation

Plan

Ethics within the Code: The Machine, the Other & Robotic Ethics Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been a hot subject in the news over the last few years. Perusing the national and international headlines of today offers a scary and frightening picture of what may be coming as well as an opportunity to not work, cleanup, or do anything since robots and machines will manage our lives. The Huffington Post describes the advancement of “Nanobots in our brains will make us God-like.” The Guardian has warned the UN that the delays on “killer robots” bans on autonomous weapons will leave the door open for future robot wars. Elon Musk, Bill Gates, and a host of other tech luminaries and academics have called AI the greatest threat to the future of the planet.

Ai and digital media (pcto2018)

Hisham Qaddoumi

Artificial Intelligence has become an essential part in our day-to-day life, and with the advancements in this field and how close we got to the Artificial Consciousness it’s getting into all types of digital media and even the film and TV industry. Machines now can author novels, create art, generate videos, act as news anchors, write fiction, compose music and the skies are the limit. Where is AI taking us to future with digital media? Will there become a day that it will totally replace us? What is Digital Creativity and how close it is to our human creativity? How can we deal with a future where all these scary factors are approaching fast? All these topics and more will be the core of the subject of the speech. It’s a conversation long due now and we should initiate it now before it’s too late. My experience in both Digital Media and Artificial Intelligence alongside with my recent research about Artificial Consciousness makes me qualified to carry such a tough conversation and bring it to light. I always say: Machines are NOT coming,they’re already here.

Accelerating innovation through diversity in Artificial Intelligence

Swathi Young

Research has shown that diversity in AI contributes to effective decision-making and problem solving capability by providing a diverse range of perspectives, a broader spectrum of expertise, and more robust critical evaluation. These are critical attributes to the innovation process that leads to increased productivity, cultural capital and creativity that are essential to businesses and government agencies. Learning Objectives Takeaway1: This lack of gender diversity in emerging technologies such as AI creates the risk that AI systems ‘perpetuate existing forms of structural inequality even when working as intended’ . At the end of this session the audience would understand Why diversity is an important topic to focus on with regards to emerging technologies such as AI and its implications on business. Increase awareness of how this impacts the bottom line.   Takeaway2: Offer key strategies to industry leaders and government officials on how to increase diversity in AI especially around gender, racial profiles and ethnic backgrounds.   Takeaway3: Tools and techniques for tackling diversity issues both in the technologies (eg, machine learning models in AI) and in organizations

Simone Jo Moore: Machine Humanity

itSMF UK

Our fascination with machines is infinite, as is the unceasing focus to humanise them. The question is, how far are we willing to take artifical intelligence (AI)? Humans are emotional but not always emotionally intelligent, so it’s therefore possible that we end up we limiting the technology, losing ourselves in what we create. As such, to deal with the volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity of our environment we must look beyond IT! In this presentation, Simone explores the positives and negatives of volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA) with resilience vs. resistance, and teaches you how to understand talent diversity requirements in the machine age. In addition, she shows you how to elevate good habits while still retaining originality.

csandit

There has been a dramatic increase in media interest in Artificial Intelligence (AI), in particular with regards to the promises and potential pitfalls of ongoing research, development and deployments. Recent news of success and failures are discussed. The existential opportunities and threats of extreme goals of AI (expressed in terms of Superintelligence/AGI and Socio- Economic impacts) are examined with regards to this media “frenzy”, and some comment and analysis provided. The application of the paper is in two parts, namely to first provide a review of this media coverage, and secondly to recommend project naming in AI with precise and realistic short term goals of achieving really useful machines, with specific smart components. An example of this is provided, namely the RUMLSM project, a novel AI/Machine Learning system proposed to resolve some of the known issues in bottom-up Deep Learning by Neural Networks, recognised by DARPA as the “Third Wave of AI.” An extensive, and up to date at the time of writing, Internet accessible reference set of supporting media articles is provided.

The Hive Think Tank - The Microsoft Big Data Stack by Raghu Ramakrishnan, CTO...

The Hive

Until recently, data was gathered for well-defined objectives such as auditing, forensics, reporting and line-of-business operations; now, exploratory and predictive analysis is becoming ubiquitous, and the default increasingly is to capture and store any and all data, in anticipation of potential future strategic value. These differences in data heterogeneity, scale and usage are leading to a new generation of data management and analytic systems, where the emphasis is on supporting a wide range of very large datasets that are stored uniformly and analyzed seamlessly using whatever techniques are most appropriate, including traditional tools like SQL and BI and newer tools, e.g., for machine learning and stream analytics. These new systems are necessarily based on scale-out architectures for both storage and computation. Hadoop has become a key building block in the new generation of scale-out systems. On the storage side, HDFS has provided a cost-effective and scalable substrate for storing large heterogeneous datasets. However, as key customer and systems touch points are instrumented to log data, and Internet of Things applications become common, data in the enterprise is growing at a staggering pace, and the need to leverage different storage tiers (ranging from tape to main memory) is posing new challenges, leading to caching technologies, such as Spark. On the analytics side, the emergence of resource managers such as YARN has opened the door for analytics tools to bypass the Map-Reduce layer and directly exploit shared system resources while computing close to data copies. This trend is especially significant for iterative computations such as graph analytics and machine learning, for which Map-Reduce is widely recognized to be a poor fit. While Hadoop is widely recognized and used externally, Microsoft has long been at the forefront of Big Data analytics, with Cosmos and Scope supporting all internal customers. These internal services are a key part of our strategy going forward, and are enabling new state of the art external-facing services such as Azure Data Lake and more. I will examine these trends, and ground the talk by discussing the Microsoft Big Data stack.

The Hive Think Tank: Sidechains by Adam Back, President of Blockstream

The Hive

Over the last couple of years, blockchains have captured a significant mindshare of innovation in financial services, industrial Internet and digital commerce industries. The scope of applications of blockchain as a platform has long surpassed that of its origins in Bitcoin as a cryptocurrency technology. However, none of the new blockchain platforms has been able to reach Bitcoin's levels of scale, security and global reach. There have also been no standards to interoperate between different blockchain platforms for exchange of assets. In order to address these challenges, Sidechains were created as cryptographic systems that securely orchestrate exchange of information between different blockchains by leveraging the scale & maturity of the Bitcoin network.
