Let’s be realistic about our expectations of AI
2020-04-23 05:20

Media misrepresentations of AI may seem harmless when we think about animated robots on The Jetsons, but the consequences of portrayals both in entertainment and other media reporting can be significant when it comes to AI research and development. Many nontechnical observers today think of AI as a sci-fi technology with human-level performance, but AI is still only as smart as the data that scientists feed to it.

As if the world couldn’t get any weirder, this AI toilet scans your anus to identify you
2020-04-08 10:52

The world has never seen a smart toilet like this, which is described in a new study from Stanford University that was published in Nature Biomedical Engineering on Monday. Sure, you can get a "Smart" toilet that offers ambient colored lighting, wireless Bluetooth music sync capability, heated seat, foot warmer, and automatic lid opening and closing, but regular, not-all-THAT-smart-after-all toilets can't diagnose disease.

Threat detection and the evolution of AI-powered security solutions
2020-04-06 05:00

Countering cyber-threats is a constant game of cat and mouse and hackers always want to get the maximum reward from the minimum effort, tweaking known attack methods as soon as these are detected by the AI. CTOs therefore need to make sure that the AI system is routinely exercised and fed new data and that the algorithms are trained to understand the new data. AI is based on heuristics whereas machine learning requires a lot of data and algorithms that must be trained to learn the data and provide insights that will help to make decisions.
