A survey of the European Union’s A.I. ecosystem
Compared to other global powers, the European Union (EU) is rarely considered a leading player in the development of artificial intelligence (AI). Why is this, and does this in fact accurately reflect the EU’s activities related to AI? What would it take for the EU to take a more leading role in AI, and to be internationally recognised as such?
Towards Robust and Verified AI: specification testing, robust training, and formal verification
Today, the prevailing practice in machine learning is to train a system on a training data set, and then test it on another set. While this reveals the average-case performance of models, it is also crucial to ensure robustness, or acceptably high performance even in the worst case. In this article, we describe three approaches for rigorously identifying and eliminating bugs in learned predictive models: adversarial testing, robust learning, and formal verification.
How malevolent machine learning could derail AI
AI security expert Dawn Song warns that “adversarial machine learning” could be used to reverse-engineer systems—including those used in defense.

AI Ethics: Seven Traps
As researchers try to come up with principles to apply when seeking to build and deploy AI systems in an ethical way, what problems might they need to be aware of? That's the question that researchers from Princeton try to answer in a blog seven "AI ethics traps" that people might stumble into.
