The UK’s Competition and Markets Authority is seeking comments about who controls Microsoft and OpenAI and possible risk of a merger. Continue reading Microsoft, OpenAI Partnership Draws UK Antitrust Regulators’ Eyes
Cambridge Quantum Computing (CQC) announce the appointment of Prof. Stephen Clark as Head of Artificial Intelligence. Prof. Clark joins CQC from DeepMind where he was a Senior Staff Research Scientist and led a team working on grounded language learnin… Continue reading Prof. Stephen Clark joins Cambridge Quantum Computing as Head of Artificial Intelligence
Master Go player Lee Se-dol has handed in his stones after deciding that there’s just no way to beat a machine when playing the ancient Chinese board game. Continue reading Master Go player retires citing AI supremacy
Artificial intelligence applied to information security can engender images of a benevolent Skynet, sagely analyzing more data than imaginable and making decisions at lightspeed, saving organizations from devastating attacks. In such a world, humans are barely needed to run security programs, their jobs largely automated out of existence, relegating them to a role as the […] Continue reading The right way to do AI in security
The popular strategy game is a difficult challenge for AI. At 1 PM EST today, DeepMind will demo its AI on ‘Starcraft 2’. Continue reading Watch DeepMind’s AI Tackle ‘Starcraft 2’
Teaching AI how to transfer knowledge from one game to another is a tricky task, but some clever hardware hacking offered a solution. Continue reading This Guy Made a ‘Game Boy Supercomputer’ That Can Handle 1 Billion Frames Per Second
Want to sound great on a Piano using only your coding skills? Enter Piano Genie, the result of a research project from Google AI and DeepMind. You press any of eight buttons while a neural network makes sure the piano plays something cool — compensating in real time for what’s already been played.
Almost anyone new to playing music who sits down at a piano will produce a sound similar to that of a cat chasing a mouse through a tangle of kitchen pots. Who can blame them, given the sea of 88 inexplicable keys sitting before them? But they’ll …read more

AlphaGo is the deep learning program that can beat humans at the game Go. You can read Google’s highly technical paper on it, but you’ll have to wade through some very academic language. [Aman Agarwal] has done us a favor. He took the original paper and dissected the important parts of in in plain English. If the title doesn’t make sense to you, you need to read more XKCD.
[Aman] says his treatment will be useful for anyone who doesn’t want to become an expert on neural networks but still wants to understand this important breakthrough. He also thinks people …read more
Move aside, ugly, giant bags of mostly water, the computers are teaching themselves now Continue reading Google AI teaches itself ‘superhuman’ chess skills in four hours
What if every time you learned something new, you forgot a little of what you knew before? That sort of overwriting doesn’t happen in the human brain, but it does in artificial neural networks. It’s appropriately called catastrophic forgetting. So why are neural networks so successful despite this? How does this affect the future of things like self-driving cars? Just what limit does this put on what neural networks will be able to do, and what’s being done about it?
The way a neural network stores knowledge is by setting the values of weights (the lines in between the neurons …read more
