Google's DeepMind beats Lee Se-dol again to go 2-0 up in historic Go series | The Verge - 0 views

  •  
    "Google stunned the world by defeating Go legend Lee Se-dol yesterday, and it wasn't a fluke - AlphaGo, the AI program developed by Google's DeepMind unit, has just won the second game of a five-game Go match being held in Seoul, South Korea. AlphaGo prevailed in a gripping battle that saw Lee resign after hanging on in the final period of byo-yomi ("second-reading" in Japanese) overtime, which gave him fewer than 60 seconds to carry out each move."

The lessons we all must learn from the A-levels algorithm debacle | WIRED UK - 0 views

  •  
    "More algorithmic decision making and decision augmenting systems will be used in the coming years. Unlike the approach taken for A-levels, future systems may include opaque AI-led decision making. Despite such risks there remain no clear picture of how public sector bodies - government, local councils, police forces and more - are using algorithmic systems for decision making."

Incoherent, creepy and gorgeous: we asked six leading artists to make work using AI - a... - 0 views

  •  
    "Until recently, I was deeply sceptical of the idea of AI art. I saw it as hype and casuistry, and with some cause: widely publicised efforts such as Ai-Da the robot artist obviously exaggerate the independence of the machine and play on our fascination with sentient artificial beings.

Go champion Lee Se-dol strikes back to beat Google's DeepMind AI for first time | The V... - 0 views

    "According to tweets from DeepMind founder Demis Hassabis, however, this time AlphaGo really did make mistakes. The AI "thought it was doing well, but got confused on move 87," Hassabis said, later clarifying that it made a mistake on move 79 but only realized its error by 87. AlphaGo adjusts its playing style based on its evaluation of how the game is progressing."

      The digital divide and the "glass ceiling" both exacerbate gender inequality and prevent women from achieving their full potential. A diversified strategy may be needed to address these problems, including policy changes to advance gender equality, financial support for education and training, and initiatives (transformative change) to overcome prejudice and stereotypes that support gender inequality.

Strengthening National Security and Privacy in the Digital Era - Office of the Privacy ... - 1 views

  •  
    The Canadian office of primary commissioner stated the changes in the privacy policies, especially after 9-11 when the privacy laws were looked past to concentrate on the gathering of information to reduce terrorism in the US and Canada with no real results. However, this problem has been tackled in Canada and stated that they "believe that Canadians deserve federal privacy laws based on rights. The incorporation of a rights-based framework in our privacy laws would help support responsible innovation and foster trust in government, giving people confidence to fully participate in the digital age."
