Machine learning, meet quantum computing
A quantum version of the building block behind neural networks could be exponentially more powerful. Back in 1958, in the earliest days of the computing revolution, the US Office of Naval Research organized a press conference to unveil a device invented by a psychologist named Frank Rosenblatt at the Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory. Rosenblatt called his device a perceptron, and the New York Time
Should a self-driving car kill the baby or the grandma? Depends on where you’re from. - MIT Technology Review
Should a self-driving car kill the baby or the grandma? Depends on where you’re from. The infamous “trolley problem” was put to millions of people in a global study, revealing how much ethics diverge across cultures. In 2014 researchers at the MIT Media Lab designed an experiment called Moral Machine. The idea was to create a game-like platform that would crowdsource people’s decisions on how self
Facebook’s ex security boss: Asking Big Tech to police hate speech is “a dangerous path” - MIT Technology Review
Facebook’s ex security boss: Asking Big Tech to police hate speech is “a dangerous path” Alex Stamos on the risks of giving his former employer and other giant platforms the power to determine what people can—and can’t—say online. Until a few weeks ago, Alex Stamos was Facebook’s chief security officer. He led the hunt for Russian political disinformation on the platform after the 2016 US election
Quantum computers pose a security threat that we’re still totally unprepared for - MIT Technology Review
Quantum computers pose a security threat that we’re still totally unprepared for Some US experts think it could take at least 20 years to get quantum-proof encryption widely deployed. The world relies on encryption to protect everything from credit card transactions to databases holding health records and other sensitive information. A new report from the US National Academies of Sciences, Enginee
Ethereum thinks it can change the world. It’s running out of time to prove it. - MIT Technology Review
Ethereum thinks it can change the world. It’s running out of time to prove it. The blockchain system has daunting technical problems to fix. But first, its disciples need to figure out how to govern themselves. It’s late October. Outside the sprawling Prague Congress Centre, not only is the weather turning, but the cryptocurrency world is crashing down, as it has been for much of this year. Expect
The GANfather: The man who’s given machines the gift of imagination
The GANfather: The man who’s given machines the gift of imagination By pitting neural networks against one another, Ian Goodfellow has created a powerful AI tool. Now he, and the rest of us, must face the consequences. One night in 2014, Ian Goodfellow went drinking to celebrate with a fellow doctoral student who had just graduated. At Les 3 Brasseurs (The Three Brewers), a favorite Montreal water
自動化で沈みゆくインド、 IT業界が斜陽産業になる日
India Warily Eyes AI 自動化で沈みゆくインド、 IT業界が斜陽産業になる日 インドの花形産業であるIT業界で、大量解雇の嵐が吹き荒れている。自動化や人工知能（AI）が人間の雇用を奪うのではないかという懸念はどの国にもあるが、コンピュータが取って代わりやすい定型作業で成長してきたインド特有の事情が問題を深刻にしている。 by Samanth Subramanian2017.11.09 495 193 19 1 昇進の辞令を受け取ってから2日後、K.S.スニール・クマールに人事部から電話がかかってきた。「退職してほしい」という。 事が起こったのは4月、クマールがインドのITサービス業界の巨大企業、テック・マヒンドラ（Tech Mahindra）で入社9年目を迎えたばかりのときだった。クマールはエンジニアリング・サービス部門で北米や欧州の航空会社用の部品やツールを設計していた
Google Sprinkles AI on Its Spreadsheets to Automate Away Some Office Work
Google Sprinkles AI on Its Spreadsheets to Automate Away Some Office Work Want to turn boring numbers into a cool chart? Just ask, and Google’s algorithm will do the rest. In Google’s commercial for its virtual assistant, people ask it to play dance music, videos, and set a timer. A new feature from the search giant that lets you ask questions of its online spreadsheets is less flashy, but it coul
Exiting Paris, Trump Cedes Global Leadership on Climate Change
Exiting Paris, Trump Cedes Global Leadership on Climate Change Surprising no one, the president announced that the U.S. will withdraw from the Paris Accord. As expected, President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that the United States will exit the landmark Paris climate agreement, arguing it undermined the nation’s economic growth, and international competitiveness. Many energy and climate exp
Google Brain Wants Creative AI to Help Humans Make a “New Kind of Art”
Google Brain Wants Creative AI to Help Humans Make a “New Kind of Art” The search giant’s AI research division has developed a deep-learning tool to produce music and art with humans in the loop. Machine-learning algorithms aren’t likely to put painters or singer-songwriters out of work anytime soon, to judge from their body of work to date. But Google Brain is developing tools that pair artists w
Biotech’s Coming Cancer Cure
Supercharge your immune cells to defeat cancer? Juno Therapeutics believes its treatments can do exactly that. When Milton Wright III got his third cancer diagnosis, he cried until he laughed. He was 20 and had survived leukemia twice before, first when he was eight and again as a teen. Each time he’d suffered through years of punishing chemotherapy. But now he had checked himself in to Seattle Ch

ニューラル・ネットワーク、「犯罪者顔」で犯罪者を判定
人工知能は、顔写真から犯罪者とそうでない人を9割近い精度で区別できた。当然、倫理上の重大問題、より高度な検証など、さまざなま議論を呼び起こすことになる。 by Emerging Technology from the arXiv2016.11.23 185 236 11 0 写真の発明後まもなく、何人かの犯罪学者は、犯罪者を撮影した顔写真にパターンがあることに気付いた。犯罪者には法制度を踏みにじる者にある、特有の顔をしているというのだ。 この論争で最も影響力のある発言者のひとりがイタリアの犯罪学者、チェーザレ・ロンブローゾ（1835～1909年）だった。ロンブローゾは、犯罪者は法律を順守する市民と比べて「先祖返り」しており、人間よりサルに近いと信じていた。ロンブローゾは、傾斜した額、異常なサイズの耳、非対称な顔つき、長い腕といったサルに似た特徴から犯罪者を見分けられると確信していた。ロンブ
Is Renewable Energy a "Good" Investment?
In the world of corporate finance, solar, wind and biomass technologies may be on the verge of crossing a key threshold. When deciding where to invest your money, you weigh the potential return against the risk. Money market accounts offer minimal risk but modest returns, while corporate stocks typically produce much higher returns at the cost of greater risk. Corporations considering major capita
Our Energy Future by the Numbers
Statistics from the U.S. government suggest that our energy choices and level of consumption will not change much over the next few decades. If you want to create an effective energy policy for your company, you need to understand how energy consumption and production are likely to change in the foreseeable future. At least two broad trends are important to keep in mind. First, while renewable ene
A Time-Lapse Movie Shot Inside the Brain
A tiny endoscope keeps watch over a particular spot in the brain as it develops, or degenerates with disease. A new type of micro-endoscope lets scientists watch nerve cells and blood vessels deep inside the brain of a living animal over days, weeks, or even months. A team led by Mark Schnitzer, associate professor of biology and applied physics at Stanford University, developed the endoscope—an o
