I can imagine a story in which all the human characters work with AIs. One of them parents AIs to socialise them; one plays D&D with them to teach them about human interaction and storytelling; and one watches them for signs of bias and corrects it.

New IBM Tool Aims To Detect A.I. Bias

For all the promise of Artificial Intelligence, it also carries a huge risk: their algorithms can develop biases, and these biases can frequently be invisible to its human creators and operators, and quite dangerous as well.

IBM wants to help solve this with their new Fairness 360 Kit, a new project to detect biases in A.I. and make humans aware of them. Open source and designed to work with many commonly used frameworks for building learning algorithms, Fairness Kit 360 aims to provide Real Time insights, via a visual dashboard, into how learning algorithms are making their decisions.

This represents another valuable approach in solving the A.I. “Black Box Problem”, along with teaching A.I.’s to be better at showing their work (http://bit.ly/2xtugL9), and utilizing more transparent learning systems (http://bit.ly/2NjMBo7).

China Racing To Bring AI To International Diplomacy

China Racing To Bring AI To International Diplomacy

Prototypes of a system for using Machine Learning to bring Artificial Intelligence into the diplomatic arena are reportedly under development in China, and may soon play a key role in many aspects of their foreign policy.

The goal of the system is to analyze a wide range of data, from advanced technical intelligence gathering reports down to gossip, in order to suggest a variety of courses of action, including suggested actions, to aid in the diplomatic efforts of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

While it is unlikely that such a system will ever be empowered to function autonomously, with humans remaining in charge of making final choices (especially given the inherently humanistic considerations of diplomacy), its ramifications go beyond improved diplomatic success and efficiency. Such systems may level the playing field for nations with less well developed diplomatic apparati, or even give them an advantage, against nations with such apparati but which invest less or not at all in the same technology.

It is unclear if the U.S. Department of State is operating anything similar or intends to do so in the near future, though Big Data and other technical tools have certainly been aiding U.S. Diplomats for many years now.

This news is well timed, as it comes at the same time as a report by the Center for New American Security (http://bit.ly/2vhGTqY) warns that China may be catching Western powers flat footed in this area, and that AI may disrupt geopolitics as as much as electricity or the combustion engine.

One Nation Is Single-Handedly Inventing the Future of Transportation

“All over the world, the way people get around is changing quickly. However, it’s possible that there’s no greater hub for developing the future of transportation technology than the Netherlands.

The country is uniquely poised to facilitate this kind of work. It’s got great technological infrastructure, with complete 4G coverage that helps vehicles grab routing information and other updates quickly and efficiently. Moreover, it’s relatively small, making it easier to implement big changes to the transport network than it would be in a country like the US.

Coupled with strong governmental backing, these factors are incubating a lot of interesting projects that could have a profound effect on how the Dutch get from A to B…”

We’re at a pivotal moment in history. Billions of years of biological evolution has culminated to an intelligent species of hominids that in their sudden industrial-digital revolution create machines that can take them places they can’t even imagine. And to think that they don’t even pay attention to the transformation as neural networks make their first major appearances, as AI enters each of the main fields of science, and breakthroughs in computing threaten to leave even Moore’s Law in the dust. So do as I do and spread the word!

Wonder why I say the singularity is here? No it hasn’t literally begun, but the process directly leading to it is already underway. When I saw this little chart here http://28oa9i1t08037ue3m1l0i861.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Edge1.png I realized it was fair to say we’ve arrived, and it’s about to begin.

Whether or not this is your first time hearing of the singularity, check out this post by Tim Urban http://waitbutwhy.com/2015/01/artificial-intelligence-revolution-1.html
