Artificial Intelligence News Issue 10

Welcome to the Momenta Learning News on Artificial Intelligence. This is issue 10, please feel free to share this post.

EdTech: From Virtual Reality To Artificial Intelligence, B-Schools Embrace Digital Innovation

HBX beams professors from a state-of-the-art TV studio to learners' screens Imagine if you attended your next finance class in a virtual reality through 3D goggles. Or if you networked with alumni through an avatar of your likeness projected onto your laptop.

Gaming chip is helping raise your computer's IQ

Facebook, Google and Microsoft are tapping the power of a vintage computer gaming chip to raise your smartphone's IQ with artificially intelligent programs that recognize faces and voices, translate conversations on the fly and make searches faster and more accurate.

A.I. and Technology Convergence

Unexpected convergent consequences... this is what happens when eight different exponential technologies all explode onto the scene at once. This blog (the second of seven) is a look at artificial intelligence. Future blogs will look at other tech areas. An expert might be reasonably good at predicting the growth of a single exponential technology (e.g.

Paul Gilster: Google's AlphaGo shows promise of artificial intelligence

If you like old and complex things as much as I do, Chinese culture has much to offer. The I Ching is said by some to be the world's oldest book, dating back perhaps 5,000 years. And the game of Go is the oldest board game still played, though only half the age of the I Ching.

'Heartificial Intelligence' finds the human in the machine

"Heartificial Intelligence: Embracing Our Humanity to Maximize Machines" By John C. Havens (TarcherPerigree, 267pp, $17) As a holdout who still reads books, newspapers and magazines on paper, I need to explain I'm no Luddite. Rather, I genuinely love the heft of a book, tearing out an article from a newspaper and the glossy feel of magazines.

The superhero of artificial intelligence: can this genius keep it in check?

Demis Hassabis has a modest demeanour and an unassuming countenance, but he is deadly serious when he tells me he is on a mission to "solve intelligence, and then use that to solve everything else". Coming from almost anyone else, the statement would be laughable; from him, not so much.

MIT To Host Artificial Intelligence Conference

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) - The Massachusetts Institute of Technology is holding a conference on the future of artificial intelligence that includes some of the field's biggest names. Among the keynote speakers at Saturday's conference at the MIT Media Lab are author and futurist Ray Kurzweil and IBM Watson Vice President and CTO Rob High.

Who's in charge of AI in the enterprise?

Artificial intelligence (AI) is starting to disrupt the workplace as applications powered by machine-learning algorithms begin to permeate enterprises at every level. Just who's doing that disrupting - and to whom do they report? Data scientists, business architects and quantitative analysts (also known as quants) are most often the professionals exploiting the burgeoning technology - sometimes under the mantel of the IT department, but often not.

Researcher awarded prize for work on artificial intelligence

15 February 2016 A computer science researcher from the University of the Strathclyde in Scotland, UK, has gained recognition for his PhD research into artificial intelligence. From interpreting huge streams of data at CERN, piloting autonomous vehicles, or predicting medical conditions such as heart failure - artificial intelligence and other sub-fields such as machine learning offer possible solutions for some of the most complex challenges facing the scientific community.
