Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing many aspects of how we work and live. (How many stories did you read last week about self-driving cars and job-stealing robots? Perhaps your holiday shopping involved some AI algorithms, as well.) But despite the constant flow of news, many misconceptions about AI remain.
AI doesn’t think in our sense of the word at all, Scriffignano explains. “In many ways, it’s not really intelligence. It’s regressive.”
IT leaders should make deliberate choices about what AI can and can’t do on its own. “You have to pay attention to giving AI autonomy intentionally and not by accident,”

THE DIY TINKERERS HARNESSING THE POWER OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
https://www.wired.com/story/diy-tinkerers-artificial-intelligence-smart-tech/
People like Ng have big hopes for the amateur AI explosion: They want it to spread the technology’s potential far from Silicon Valley, physically and culturally, to see what happens when tech outsiders “train” neural networks according to their own priorities and ways of seeing the world. Ng likes to imagine that one day a person in India might use what they learn in online videos about AI to make their local water safer to drink.
Of course, not every DIY neural network will be quite so G-rated.
The poster explained that the clip was fake, created by training a neural network to generate images of Gadot’s face that matched the expressions of the video’s original star. They then released the code and methodology online so anyone could make similar “deepfake” clips of their own.
So the age of homebrew AI may not be all sweetness and light. Nor will it be all darkness and porn.

Japan Sniffing Out Its AI Niches
https://www.eetimes.com/document.asp?doc_id=1334011
As with any trade show featuring “embedded technology” anywhere in the world, the Embedded Technology 2018 Exhibition in Yokohama earlier this month got hijacked by today’s two hot topics: AI and IoT.
On one hand, Japanese electronics heavyweights — mostly Fujitsu, NEC and Toshiba — showcased new materials and wireless technologies they deem critical to the spread of IoT applications.
On the other hand, this year’s Embedded Technology/IoT show trotted out a host of Japanese startups, including Ascent Robotics, LeapMind, Robit and others with an intense business and technology focus on AI.
Japanese startups tend to differ from startups elsewhere in their commitment to leverage Japan’s decades of experience in building robots and automobiles. They want to use their proximity to automated manufacturing sites and to experienced factory managers as a head start toward developing AI algorithms for industrial applications.
While Google, Facebook, Amazon and others in the United States may have already established a stronghold in areas like big data, data centers and deep learning, Japan’s hopes focus on making edge devices smarter, more connected and autonomous.

Separating AI Hype From Reality
https://www.eetimes.com/author.asp?section_id=240&doc_id=1334002
Artificial intelligence (AI) is what the Internet of Things was two years ago – overhyped and not very well understood.
Kurt Sievers, president of NXP Semiconductors, said at a CEO roundtable at electronica in Munich that AI is overhyped today . “It’s this miraculous thing where nobody knows what it is,” he said. “Most people wouldn’t even know what the definition is.”

Two of Europe’s key electronics and nanotechnologies research institutes — imec in Belgium and CEA-Leti in France — will collaborate to develop a European hub for artificial intelligence and quantum computing.
As security and privacy issues rise up the agenda in almost every organization, the race is on to process more at the edge and put more intelligence at endpoints. For electronics systems design, most of the major chip companies now offer or are developing deep learning and edge AI devices or intellectual property. The edge AI devices are often complete computer sub-systems displaying intelligent behavior locally on the hardware devices (chips), analyzing their environment and taking required actions to achieve specific goals.

Obfuscated Command Line Detection Using Machine Learning

This blog post presents a machine learning (ML) approach to solving an emerging security problem: detecting obfuscated Windows command line invocations on endpoints. We start out with an introduction to this relatively new threat capability, and then discuss how such problems have traditionally been handled. We then describe a machine learning approach to solving this problem and point out how ML vastly simplifies development and maintenance of a robust obfuscation detector. Finally, we present the results obtained using two different ML techniques and compare the benefits of each.

A Breakthrough in FPGA-Based Deep Learning Inference

Mipsology’s Zebra Deep Learning inference engine is designed to be fast, painless, and adaptable, outclassing CPU, GPU, and ASIC competitors.
I recently attended the 2018 Xilinx Development Forum (XDF) in Silicon Valley. While at this forum, I was introduced to a company called Mipsology, a startup in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) that claims to have solved the AI-related problems associated with field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). Mipsology was founded with a grand vision to accelerate the computation of any neural network (NN) with the highest performance achievable on FPGAs without the constraints inherent in their deployment.

Uncle Sam wants to restrict a few good technologies — and it needs engineers to help identify them.
As part of legislation passed this summer, the U.S. Commerce Department put out a call for input by December 19 on which of 14 broad emerging technologies should face export controls. The call quickly got attention from industry veterans and groups concerned controls could hurt U.S. companies and worsen a growing tech trade war with China.

You can’t build a good machine learning model without good training data.

With SageMaker, AWS has been working on a service that makes building machine learning models a lot easier. But until today, that labeling task was still up to the user. Now, however, the company is launching SageMaker Ground Truth, a training set labeling service.

Why is the US, once an assumed leader in artificial intelligence, losing its foothold on the technology? And how can it get its position back?
Two years ago, the emergence of autonomous driving technologies led Intel CEO Brian Krzanich to declare that data is the new oil. If that’s true, then artificial intelligence is the new oil refinery.
AI is rapidly becoming a globally valued commodity. And nations that lead in AI will likely be the ones that guide the global economy in the near future.

AWS DeepRacer – Go Hands-On with Reinforcement Learning at re:Invent
https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/aws-deepracer-go-hands-on-with-reinforcement-learning-at-reinvent/
Reinforcement Learning is a type of machine learning that works when an “agent” is allowed to act on a trial-and-error basis within an interactive environment, using feedback from those actions to learn over time in order to reach a predetermined goal or to maximize some type of score or reward. This stands in contrast to other forms of machine learning such as Supervised Learning, where a set of facts (ground truths) are used to train a model so that it can make inferences.
AWS DeepRacer
Let’s talk about the hardware and software first. AWS DeepRacer is a 1/18th scale radio-controlled, four-wheel drive car
There’s an Intel Atom® processor onboard, a 4 megapixel camera with 1080p resolution, fast (802.11ac) WiFi, multiple USB ports, and enough battery power to last for about 2 hours.

https://iot.eetimes.com/vision-ai-developer-kit-combines-ai-and-ml-to-push-deep-neural-network-models-out-to-the-intelligent-edge/
Companies are in the process of digitally transforming their business by using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). Currently this task is only possible once data is collected from internet-connected devices and stored in the cloud.
The technology challenge with this approach is the strong dependency on a consistent connection to the cloud for sending and collecting data. As data volumes approach larger scales and deep learning requires increasingly more complex algorithms, the inevitable bottleneck will limit the quick adoption of AI and ML technologies.
Currently, AI computations are feasible when vast, potentially bordering on infinite, amounts of computing resources are available from cloud resources. This requires an investment in expensive and powerful computational machines running at the edge. This requires continuous power supplies and direct connectivity to all sensor devices.
