Machines (or machine-based reasoning, aka 'AI software' or ‘info agents’) would then be able to use those laboriously –but not entirely manually– constructed ontologies to build a view (or formal model) of how the individual terms within the infor
The MoGo artificial intelligence engine defeated professional 5th DAN Catalin Taranu in a 9x9 game of Go during the Go Tournament in Paris in late March. The victory, the first officially sanctioned "non blitz" victory for a machine over a Go Master, is considered a significant achievement because the game is patterned more after human thought than chess and its possible combinations exceed the number of particles in the universe. Taranu says the system was close to reaching the level of DAN in performance. The computer did lose to Taranu in a 19x19 configuration with a nine-stone handicap. The French National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control (INRIA) developed the artificial intelligence engine. "The software used in this victory--the result of a collaboration between INRIA, the CNRS(1), LRI(2) and CMAP(3)--is based on innovative technologies that can be used in numerous different areas, particularly in the conservation of resources which is such a vital issue when it comes to tackling environmental problems," says INRIA researcher Olivier Teytaud, who led the MoGo team.
As artificial intelligence reshapes the world, digital rights advocates warn of the downsides, ranging from the technologies' environmental footprint to surveillance and "data colonialism."
The company’s goal to be carbon negative by 2030 is harder to reach, but President Brad Smith says the good AI can do for the world will outweigh its environmental impact.
The European Commission has moved to "compel" Microsoft to provide information about generative artificial intelligence (AI) risks on its Bing search engine, threatening it with a fine, according to a statement on Friday (17 May).
Artificial intelligence (AI) and face recognition technology is being used for the first time in job interviews in the UK to identify the best candidates.
The ETUC is convinced that the precautionary principle, in the Treaty, means that the strategy should be inclusive and ambitious and restrict its actions to high risks.
L’ouvrage « Quand la machine apprend », de Yann Le Cun, permet de décoder certains mystères de l’intelligence artificielle, en s’intéressant au fonctionnement des neurones du cerveau... humain.
Tl;dr: The harms from so-called AI are real and present and follow from the acts of people and corporations deploying automated systems. Regulatory efforts should focus on transparency, accountability and preventing exploitative labor practices.
How European Union non-discrimination laws are interpreted and enforced vary by context and by state definitions of key terms, like “gender” or “religion.” Non-discrimination laws become even more…
The Commission is proposing the first ever legal framework on AI, which addresses the risks of AI and positions Europe to play a leading role globally.
While classifying AI systems used at work as high-risk is appropriate, however, the Proposed Regulation is far from being sufficient to protect workers adequately.
Here I collect a selected set of critical lenses on so-called1 'AI', including the recently hyped ChatGPT. I hope these resources are useful for others as well, and help make insightful why we need to remain vigilant and resist the AI hype. I expect to be updating this blog as time passes. If you have…
I wrote this essay for the printed magazine of the Elevate Festival 2024. On Friday March 1st. at 2pm I will participate in a panel discussion there on the issue of “AI vs. Democracy” that people can check out live or on stream/watch in a recording later
