In Brief Researchers have developed an AI system testing a small subset of pictures and was able to predict criminality with an 89.5 percent accuracy. Such technology brings up some ethical and legal questions about its application, joining a long list of concerns AI raises in general. Reading Criminals’ Faces Assessing a person’s trustworthiness and innocence based on their facial characteristics may seem

Brief Info: Researchers used AI to identify the brain patterns caused by exposure to specific fear triggers, information they then used to "reprogram" study participants out of that fear. The method could be used in the future as a way to rid people of phobias without exposing them directly to their fear or to help people with PTSD overcome their disorders.

Brief Info: Google Neural Machine Translation (GNMT) system is a machine learning based system capable of performing language translations effectively. A new research done by Google Brain team makes it capable of translating language pairs it never translated earlier using its own interlingua

  Brief Info: The autonomous aerial vehicle (UAV) prototype AirMule has completed its first completely untethered flight, but its control system made a handful of incorrect decisions. Tactical Robotics, the makers of the AirMule, envisions UAVs landing and taking off from rugged terrain that human pilots can't handle.

Brief Info Researchers have created a heuristically trained neural network that outperformed conventional machine learning algorithms by 160 percent and its own training by 9 percent. This new teaching method could enable AI to make correct classifications of data that's previously unknown or unclassified, learning information beyond its data set.

Brief Info: Data science experts have developed an AI software system that can rapidly self-assemble into the most efficient form for a given task without any human input. The system could significantly reduce the energy needs of data centers, which currently account for 3 percent of global energy usage.

Brief Info: Jürgen Schmidhuber asserts that, by 2050, there will be trillions of self-replicating robot factories on the asteroid belt. In a few million years, robots will naturally explore the galaxy out of curiosity, setting their own goals without much human interaction.

Brief Info A new AI lip reader has been built to process whole sentences at a time, allowing the AI to teach itself what letter corresponds to each slight mouth movement. LipNet was 1.78 times more accurate than human lip readers in translating the same sentences.

Brief Info Using swarm intelligence, UNU was able to predict some of the biggest events of the year with stunning accuracy. Swarm intelligence may be a safer way to develop AI since the intelligence gathering is human centered.

Brief Info A deep neural network, which has four layers of up to 512 neurons each, was able to correctly identify what genre a book belongs to just by analyzing its cover. The resulting rate of accuracy is significantly better than mere chance.

Brief Info The AI, called MogIA, based its analysis on 20 million data points from platforms such as Google, Twitter, and YouTube. The AI aims at learning from the environment, developing its own rules at the policy layer, and developing expert systems without discarding any data.

Brief Info Tech colossus, Microsoft, has released its AI software for developers everywhere, and it can even be run from a single laptop. Open-source deep learning software has the potential of opening the floodgates of technological revolution.
