RT @hardmaru: I'll be giving a tutorial on “Neuroevolution for Deep Reinforcement Learning Problems” @GECCO2019 this weekend. Looking forward to visiting Prague! https://t.co/5NzC0TnsZQ https://t.co/BM8jxruvYZ
OpenRT @prfsanjeevarora: Remember matrix completion? Deep linear nets solve it better than the old nuclear norm algorithm. Analysis requires going beyond traditional optimization view and understanding #trajectories. Blog post by Nadav and Wei: https://t.co/TBX6Z9J6tq . Paper https://t.co/vDvToYXQfz

Ethics
RT @vdignum: Worth reading: #AI has no anthropomorphic qualities (eg intelligence). AI isn't malicious nor kind; it has no intent or goals; isn't able of self-reflection. AI can just perform well-specified tasks to discover associations between data & actions.

OpenThe Metamorphosis
AI will bring many wonders. It may also destabilize everything from nuclear détente to human friendships. We need to think much harder about how to adapt.
Robot stock photo alert.
Now more than a handshake...white people high-five white robots.

OpenAI strategies to include more ethics and trust
A new report from IDC has revealed that more people are using AI within their companies which has led to a re-think in the ethics they use.
RT @FLIxrisk: What is cooperative inverse reinforcement learning & how can it contribute to #AI safety efforts? Find out on our AI Alignment podcast, where @dhadfieldmenell joined host Lucas Perry for an interdisciplinary discussion of CIRL & its implications for AI https://t.co/HcSkbYKLZr https://t.co/iUs22D56TS
