Adversarial Machine Learning: A Looming Threat to AI Security
Machine learning is great for niched-down problems that require an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm to pay attention to very specific details. For that reason, it’s becoming a very popular technology. But machine learning applications used in essential fields like healthcare, transportation, and finance carry a lot of responsibility. If one of these algorithms were to […]
How Researchers Are Preparing for the AI-Fueled Deepfake Deluge
Artificial intelligence (AI) is getting better — after all, it continuously trains itself to meet and exceed expectations — but could it be getting too good? AI applications are being used to detect and warn officials and journalists about AI-generated videos called “deepfake”. These videos show a prominent political leader or celebrity saying and doing things […]
Can AI’s Racial & Gender Bias Problem Be Solved?
Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms are complex packets of code that strive to learn on given training data. But when this training data is flawed, not well-rounded, or biased, the algorithm quickly spirals into discrimination too. For women and minorities, these systemic AI issues can quickly become harmful. Where Does Bias Come From? Bias in AI […]
What Does the Future of Machine Learning Look Like?
Machine learning (ML), at its core, is a subset of artificial intelligence (AI). And it’s responsible for many of the AI advancements we have before us today. But it’s not a new field by any means; it first became a topic of research and discussion in the 1950s. Back in the day, ML used to […]
Amazon Web Services Boosts Its Cloud Computing With Machine Learning
At Amazon’s AWS (Amazon Web Services) Summit in New York City this past week, machine learning was a big focus for the Seattle-based tech giant, especially in regard to recently released cloud features for commerce and payments. The Rise of ML in Every Industry Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) development are booming, especially […]
