Ethics as a competitive advantage in the booming artificial intelligence industry
We are in the foothills of an AI journey. On April 8 the EU issued in-depth guidelines on developing and implementing trustworthy Artificial Intelligence. The guidelines identify fundamental requirements for AI in Europe and set a global standard for efforts to advance AI that is Ethical and Responsible.
Artificial general intelligence is a Rorschach Test: Perhaps we need orangutans?
Artificial general intelligence, or "AGI," the idea of a machine that can approach human levels of cognition, is a great topic to get people all worked up.
DeepMind’s plans to make AI systems robust & reliable, why it’s a core issue in AI design, and how to succeed at AI research
To Pushmeet Kohli, principal scientist and research team leader at DeepMind, research to make AI robust and reliable is no more a side-project in AI design than keeping a bridge standing is a side-project in bridge design.
