A Stanford-led group of leading AI thinkers called the AI100 has launched an index that will provide a comprehensive baseline on the state of artificial intelligence and measure technological progress in the same way the gross domestic product and the S&P 500 index track the U.S. economy and the broader stock market. They have produced …
DARPA that there have been three waves of AI. 1. The first of which was handcrafted knowledge. It’s still hot, it’s still relevant, it’s still important. 2. The second wave, which is now very much in the mainstream for things like face recognition, is about statistical learning where we build systems that get trained on …
Andrew Ng, who helped start the Google Brain project and previously served as the head of Baidu’s AI efforts, announced Landing.ai, a company aimed at helping businesses in the manufacturing sector transform themselves into AI companies. Ng picked manufacturing because it has a number of problems that machine learning techniques can help with, and AI …
In 2017,companies globally have completed around $21.3 billion in mergers and acquisitions related to AI, according to PitchBook, a data provider, or around 26 times more than in 2015. Alphabet (Google’s parent), Amazon, Apple, Facebook, IBM, Microsoft, Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent are all making large investments in to Artificial Intelligence. Alphabet is widely perceived to be …
NASA will host a media teleconference at 1 p.m. EST Thursday, Dec. 14, to announce the latest discovery made by its planet-hunting Kepler space telescope. The discovery was made by researchers using machine learning from Google. Machine learning is an approach to artificial intelligence, and demonstrates new ways of analyzing Kepler data. The briefing participants …
BAIDU results indicate that in many real world contexts, simply scaling your training data set and models is likely to predictably improve the model’s accuracy. This predictable behavior may help practitioners and researchers approach debugging and target better accuracy scaling. On the extreme other end, @BaiduResearch's thorough analysis on scaling properties of neural networks would …
The AlphaZero program developed by Google and DeepMind took four hours of playing against itself to create chess knowledge beyond any human or other computer program. It could beat any person and beat the best World Computer Champion Stockfish 28 wins to 0 in a 100-game match. Starting from random play, and given no domain …
A Tencent Research Institute report indicates that are currently only a supply 300,000 Artificial intelligence professionals when there is a demand for millions. Competition for the top tier of talent is the most intense, as there are fewer than 1,000 people who are considered capable of steering the direction of AI research and development. The …
The Economic Boom of the 1920s was driven by the Assembly line and the mass production of consumer goods such as the Ford Model T Automobile and luxury labor saving devices and access to easy credit on installment plans. Their could be an emerging global economic boom for the 2020s. 5 to 6% annual GDP …
Eric Schmidt, the executive chairman of Alphabet, answered questions about the future of Artificial Intelligence and quantum computers and robots. Highlights from Schmidt – * The rise of China will be the big news for the rest of our lives… in an economic, cultural, structural sense. * China’s artificial intelligence machine-learning policy – behind right …
There are many established and startup companies developing deep learning chips. Google and Wave Computing have working silicon and are conducting customer trials. * Wave Computing says its 3U deep learning server can train AlexNet in 40 minutes, three times faster than NVIDIA’s P100 DGX-1 server. * Wave Computing’s claim that its TPU is 1000 …
