Applied Use Cases
RT @DeepMindAI: We’re excited to announce the results of our research collaboration with @Waymo, applying Population Based Training (PBT) to help make the process of training neural nets in their self-driving cars more effective and efficient. https://t.co/O78PBpdBs1 https://t.co/70kchhbcOO
OpenHow evolutionary selection can train more capable self-driving cars
Waymo’s self-driving vehicles employ neural networks to perform many driving tasks, from detecting objects and predicting how others will behave, to planning a car's next moves. Training an ...
RT @bigblackjacobin: NEW: The racial bias in AI won't go away. The obvious solution (diverse data sets) may lead to better facial recognition and surveilance. So do we endure racist AI or do we endure facial surveillance? https://t.co/VSlQcMALcn
OpenRacial Bias in AI Isn’t Getting Better and Neither Are Researchers’ Excuses
Another machine learning algorithm has failed to work for people of color. What is it going to take for this to stop?
RT @ghadfield: Very excited about this new opportunity as inaugural Director of the Schwartz Reisman Institute for Technology and Society @UofT. Looking forward to working with folks in AI and across social sciences and humanities. https://t.co/tIguWcELQF

Research
RT @arkosiorek: We recently developed a new, unsupervised version of capsule networks (with @sabour_sara, @yeewhye, and @geoffreyhinton). I hope that my new blog will make it easier to understand some ideas that led to this work. Enjoy!

RT @yeewhye: Looking fwd to my IMS Medallion Lecture #JSM2019! Rm CC-607 Sun 4pm. The content is on neural nets, stochastic processes & probabilistic symmetries, but the broader context is on relationship b/w stats & ML. @DeepMindAI @OxfordStats IMS Bulletin preview: https://t.co/2bBfY77wD8 https://t.co/qK0Q6YJWvV

Ethics
RT @AnjaKasp: The sheer volume of proposed (AI) principles threatens to overwhelm and confuse. How might this ‘principle proliferation’ be solved, asks @Floridi and @JoshCowls & identifies five core principles. RT @NoelSharkey https://t.co/2Pt1sbcU0Q https://t.co/2vjY5xAkfg

In the ensuing discussion, we note the limitations and assess the implications of this ethical framework for future efforts to create laws, rules, technical standards, and best practices ...
