RT @jhimmelreich: The #moralmachine group is doubling down. What's the point of "crowdsourcing ethical opinion"? Oh right, technological change can't come fast enough: the risk is that "societal push-back will drastically slow down the adoption of intelligent machines". 1/n https://t.co/9zvLNH0lKx

RT @jenniferchayes: I’m thrilled to announce the largest gift in Berkeley’s history, $252M, towards the home of our new division: Computing, Data Science, and Society. The building will house a large fraction of EECS, all of Statistics, the I School, BIDS, DS Education & more https://t.co/fhvy1gUAkI

Largest gift in Berkeley’s history will create a ‘hub’ for advancing data science

$252 million gift will seed construction of a new home for the Division of Computing, Data Science, and Society

A new experiment shows how difficult it is for even the best artificial intelligence systems to grasp rudimentary physics and cause and effect. It also offers a path for building AI systems that can learn why things happen. https://t.co/SUIEcQdUUo

If AI's So Smart, Why Can't It Grasp Cause and Effect?

Deep-learning models can spot patterns that humans can't. But software still can't explain, say, what caused one object to collide with another.

What Is ‘Westworld’ Without Westworld?

The sci-fi thriller’s new season mostly abandons the western setting. But will sleek new scenery and a new star, Aaron Paul, be enough to win back those put off by the show’s convoluted story?
