David Budden is a Research Engineering Team Lead, DeepMind. He will discuss Engineering Intelligence. David talked about how innovation can come from anywhere in the company. A Deep Fake (fake picture) project was performed by an intern. It is a myth that deep mind does not open source. Starcraft can take a long time and …
Last month, OpenAI announced that they had made an AI system could be used for next-generation super spam and a tsunami of fake news. They chose to keep the super-spam system secret to prevent misuse by others. OpenAI has now announced they are seeking investors and will change from being a non-profit to seeking profit. …
Wave Computing accelerates deep learning by using dataflow technology to eliminate the need for a host and co-processor in the processing of a neural network. In November, 2018, Wave Computing closed their Series E funding round at $86 million. Total investment in Wave is now over $200 million. Oakmont Corporation led the round. Open.ai has …

Deep Mind has a StarCraft II program AlphaStar. It is the first Artificial Intelligence to defeat a top professional human player. In a series of test matches held on 19 December, AlphaStar decisively beat Team Liquid’s Grzegorz “MaNa” Komincz, one of the world’s strongest professional StarCraft players, 5-0, following a successful benchmark match against his …
Greg Brockman of OpenAI discussed the near-term possibility of Artificial General Intelligence. He says we must dare to dream about dramatic near-term progress. OpenAI is a non-profit AI research company, discovering and enacting the path to safe artificial general intelligence. In October 2015, Musk, Altman and other investors announced the formation of the organization, pledging …
Deep Learning and Machine Learning has made breakthroughs in recent years. There is tens of billions of dollars going into development of the new AI. Google and Deep Mind are recognizing that Deep Learning is not going to reach human cognition. They propose using models of networks to find relations between things to enable computers …
Harvard and Google collaborated to apply deep learning to explain where earthquake aftershocks might occur. They started with visual representation of the 1992 magnitude 7.3 southern California Landers earthquake where the multi-colored portion represents the initial quake and the red boxes represent aftershock locations. They applied a neural net to analyze the relationships between static …
The concept of innateness is rarely discussed in the context of artificial intelligence. When it is discussed, or hinted at, it is often the context of trying to reduce the amount of innate machinery in a given system. Gary Marcus considers as a test case a recent series of papers by Silver et al (Silver …
This is a AI Forum at C2 Montreal. This is sponsored by Element AI. Claude Gay, IBM General Manager talks about AI Challenges. Iterate be agile. You fail quickly and you learn fast with AI STart now be very focused Work with outside parties to do it Real use cases to benefit from Sometimes the …
In 2017, Austin Russell, CEO of Silicon Valley LIDAR startup Luminar, said the first generation of self-driving cars will cost $300,000-$400,000. * Current systems have a “critical failure rate”—how often they fail to “see” an object—of one error in 1,000 miles. To be acceptable for use on public roads, that rate will have to drop …
