D-Wave Systems Inc., the world’s leader in quantum computing systems and software, today announced the launch of its Quadrant business unit, formed to provide machine learning services that make state-of-the-art deep learning accessible to companies across a wide range of industries and application areas. Quadrant’s algorithms enable accurate discriminative learning (predicting outputs from inputs) using …
Ray Kurzweil has spoken about how current Deep Learning systems needs billions of examples to get trained to human level of capabilities or beyond. The Deep learning system AlphaGop Zero taught itself to play the game of Go better than any human or computer program before it by can create billions of examples by simulating …
The Foresight Institute is currently having its mini-conference on Artificial General Intelligence and Corporations. Peter Scheyer has a paper written with a grant given by Paul Christiano on the legal aspects of AGI as corporations. This is the central aspect which is referred by most of the other talks. Corporations as Artificial General Intelligences has …

A study by Boston Consulting Group (BCG) found that 23 percent of the total 9.93 million jobs in China’s banking, insurance and securities sectors will be affected by AI by 2027, with entry-level staff engaged in repetitious daily operations bearing the brunt of any cuts. “Many jobs, particularly those involving mechanical, repetitious operations, will gradually …
China is testing unmanned tanks that use artificial intelligence-based systems. An oldType-59 tank was fitted with new remote control technology and seemingly being driven by a soldier sitting at a nearby control deck. The Chinese military is trying network the tanks to aircraft and satellites to work in a quicker and more lethal way than …
Optalysys has created convolutional neural network using its optical coprocessor. The UK-based company has developed optical computing hardware that uses lasers and spatial light modulators (SLMs) to perform complex numerical processing at extremely high speeds and using very little power. The optical laser technology enables them to process this model several orders of magnitude faster …
On 17th January, Fine Art, a Go playing computer made by Tencent, defeated human Go Champion Ke Jie 9P in 77 moves after giving two stones handicap on Foxweiqi. Ke Jie admitted that Fine Art’s was as strong as him after giving two stones handicap. After level-up on 10th January, Fine Art has played 34 …
AI researchers for Nvidia developed an unsupervised learning method for computers which allows for changes to video content it’s fed. AI software can also generate faces for people who do not exist. Google Wavenet can generate imitated speech and there are other companies like Lyrebird which can do similar imitated speech. Star Trek DS9 had …
The goal of Google Cloud was to lower the barrier of entry and make AI available to the largest possible community of developers, researchers and businesses. Google is introducing Cloud AutoML to make AI accessible to every business. Cloud AutoML helps businesses with limited ML expertise start building their own high-quality custom models by using …
