AI Technology & Industry Review
Google Brain Research Scientist Ian Goodfellow has tweeted an alarm about IoT hacking of a particularly nightmarish type, after Brown University security researchers were able to remotely access and control a robot in a university research lab. The research also showed that many robotic labs worldwide may be vulnerable to such a takeover technique.
A Google Brain research group has published a paper proposing a new method for evaluating generative models by using insights from competitive games between human players.
Neural networks can be notoriously difficult to debug, but a Google Brain research team believes it may have come up with a novel solution. A paper by Augustus Odena and Ian Goodfellow introduces Coverage-Guided Fuzzing (CGF) methods for neural networks. The team also announced an open source software library for CGF, TensorFuzz 1.
Researchers who submitted papers to the Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems 2018 (NIPS) began receiving their reviews last week — and many are less than satisfied.
YouTuber “TJWei” recently uploaded a “Face-off” video on YouTube. The four-minute split-screen clip sees two figures speaking and emoting simultaneously. Both look human, but one is an entity generated in real-time by an AI algorithm.
