AI’s dirty little secret: It’s powered by people

There’s a dirty little secret about artificial intelligence: It’s powered by hundreds of thousands of real people.

The 7 best deep learning books you should be reading right now

In today’s post I’m going to share with you the 7 best deep learning books (in no particular order) I have come across and would personally recommend you read.

Inside the Chinese lab that plans to rewire the world with AI

Alibaba is investing huge sums in AI research and resources — and it is building tools to challenge Google and Amazon.

Most Americans Already Using Artificial Intelligence Products

Nearly nine in 10 Americans (85%) say they currently use at least one of six devices, programs or services that feature elements of artificial intelligence (AI). Use of these products ranges from 84% of U.S. adults using navigation applications to 20% using smart home devices such as self-learning thermostats and lighting.

The tyranny of algorithms is part of our lives: soon they could rate everything we do

Credit scores already control our finances. With personal data being increasingly trawled, our politics and our friendships will be next

The New U.S.-China Rivalry: A Technology Race

As the United States and China look to protect their national security needs and economic interests, the fight between the two financial superpowers is increasingly focused on a single area: technology.

Machine learning or laughing? Amazon’s Alexa is freaking people out with unprovoked chuckle

It’s one thing to believe that Amazon’s Alexa is constantly listening to us, but quite another to worry that she’s laughing at what she hears.

Self-Driving Truck Loses Its Remote Connection, But Not Its Shot at Milestone Achievement

Same driver, different vehicle: Bringing Waymo self-driving technology to trucks

Now we’re turning our attention to things as well. Starting next week, Waymo will launch a pilot in Atlanta where our self-driving trucks will carry freight bound for Google’s data centers.

Machine Learning for Auto-Tuning HPC Systems

“On today’s episode of “The Interview” with The Next Platform we discuss the art and science of tuning high performance systems for maximum performance — something that has traditionally come at high time cost for performance engineering experts.”

Explained Simply: How an AI program mastered the ancient game of Go

The Building Blocks of Interpretability

Interpretability techniques are normally studied in isolation. We explore the powerful interfaces that arise when you combine them — and the rich structure of this combinatorial space.

AI will be the art movement of the 21st century

We are on a mission of discovery to find a new way to express ourselves with our increasingly sophisticated partners: to paint, write, sculpt, and make beautiful music. Together.

A List of Chip/IP for Deep Learning (keep updating)

Machine Learning, especially Deep Learning technology is driving the evolution of artificial intelligence (AI). At the beginning, deep learning has primarily been a software play. Start from the year 2016, the need for more efficient hardware acceleration of AI/ML/DL was recognized in academia and industry. This year, we saw more and more players, including world’s top semiconductor companies as well as a number of startups, even tech giants Google, have jumped into the race. I believe that it could be very interesting to look at them together. So, I build this list of AI/ML/DL ICs and IPs on Github and keep updating. If you have any suggestion or new information, please let me know.
