The APAC Innovation Summit on Robotics and Embedded AI is kicking off with welcome remarks from robot Albert Einstein. 😳 https://t.co/cWiRdJU6Yd
Kaz Soto from Google telling us about the many ways machine learning is used there – including saving energy in data center cooling systems. https://t.co/hF3HRC5uCF
Kewpie (mayonnaise people) used ML and TensorFlow to spot bad potato cubes! Worked best when computer made sound to alert human sorter. https://t.co/OoCnD7Kjq7
Robert Morris from IBM Research telling us about history of their AI efforts with Go, backgammon, chess – and Jeopardy. (Hi @KenJennings!) https://t.co/i10Rd8uQpm
Watson gave some bad answers – like thinking Toronto was US city. You can’t risk those errors when using AI to diagnose cancer. https://t.co/LLdwy8oe8f
AI creates efficiencies – reducing wasted medical treatments that don’t work (est at 50%); giving loans to folks w/out credit history. https://t.co/PsRr2DrSOW
AI doesn’t have to result in middle-class job losses, “hollowing out” of middle that leads to “electing politicians who do crazy things…”
As you may imagine, there was a big chuckle at that.
Watching a demo of Clinicbot. 😳 https://t.co/aRlh4Gi0AN
Listening to @DanitGal from @IEEEorg talking about ethical considerations of AI. v1 of standard is here: https://t.co/gSPRpH6SuS https://t.co/JTvpMvglmO
Goal of ethical standards for AI – moving beyond both fear and uncritical admiration for technological advancement. 👏 https://t.co/Utn19ebcAj
An AI learned to lie to people when playing poker. What happens when a medical AI is incentivised to lie to humans?
“Ethics” vary based on culture and religion. @IEEEorg’s goal with standards to to provide a method for engineers to think about consequences
What happens when humans aren’t in decision making loop? Imagine combat robots fighting in tunnels, with no connection to controllers…
@starbuxman What is it?? I can’t see it on iOS Tweetdeck, Twitter app, or Twitter web. 😭
@starbuxman 😍😍😍😍
Dr. Deepu Talla from @nvidia walking us through the Big Bang of modern AI in the past 5 years. https://t.co/d2RF6rC3Nl
Nvidia Jetson is an embedded AI supercomputer the size of a credit card. Full software platform. Lots of uses! https://t.co/gEMxg5UB43 https://t.co/Ow2AlCUFOT
When can I get a service robot that loads the dishwasher?! Turns out their are some key challenges we haven’t cracked yet. https://t.co/5OzQnfIHOE
BeachBot – autonomous robot that creates large scale beach art! How charming. 😍 https://t.co/Yip7Cmr2AC https://t.co/hkuqJatw55
So neat – @Wingtra is a drone that combines best aspects of helicopter and airplane. https://t.co/Rjtpjl8eHn https://t.co/d0Gkqf7frL
@k_c_madden Definitely not cuddly!
@jstangroome Hopefully the IEEE can publish a standard on that and declare my husband wrong for all eternity. 😂
In most countries so far, more robots = lower unemployment. The jobs robots are doing are dangerous, dirty, or dull. https://t.co/KSLPrDu10z
@AmanAlam She showed graphs from a lot of different countries, but I didn’t get a snap of the slide.
@AmanAlam I found an essay that includes the graph she showed: https://t.co/tg8AOOrmrv
@AmanAlam Scroll down to “So, do robots displace human workers? This turns out to depend on what country you’re talking about…”
@AmanAlam India not shown though, and I don’t have FT sub to see the original data.
@rbtcollins I found an essay that includes the graph she showed, which has some add’l context: https://t.co/tg8AOOrmrv
@MichelePlayfair I wondered that too. I’m guessing 🍪 don’t work. 😂
@candeira @MichelePlayfair Well, sure, if you’re going to legit answer the question and ruin my joke.
