DeepMind’s AlphaFold is going after Coronavirus

Just as the late Dr Li Wenliang began warning Chinese officials about an epidemic in Wuhan in December last year, an Artificial Intelligence server at BlueDot in San Francisco too started issuing alerts about a potential epidemic outbreak. The server monitors patterns of infectious diseases outbreaks globally. But both the man's and the machine's warnings…

Researchers can now detect backdoor attacks

As machine learning models are used increasingly to make decisions in multiple areas, their safety and trustworthiness have started to become a major point of concern. Since ML models are trained on data from various and often potentially untrustworthy sources, adversaries can manipulate them by inserting carefully crafted samples into the training set leading to…

ai deepfake: ‘AI godfather’, others urge more deepfake regulation in open letter

Artificial intelligence experts and industry executives, including one of the technology's trailblazers Yoshua Bengio, have signed an open letter calling for more regulation around the creation of deepfakes, citing potential risks to society."Today, deepfakes often involve sexual imagery, fraud, or political disinformation. Since AI is progressing rapidly and making deepfakes much easier to create, safeguards…

AI can translate brainwaves into text

Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) have used deep learning algorithm, to translate brain signals of four test subjects into sentences successfully. The algorithm uses brain implants to track the neural activity of the test subjects to convert them into a string of numbers, which then gets translated into a sequence of…

DeepMind introduces AI-based ‘Ithaca’ for aiding historians

DeepMind’s new technology Ithaca, has unfolded an AI-grounded technique to decipher the missing text of damaged inscriptions, identify their original location and establish the date they were created. Modern dating techniques such as radiocarbon dating cannot be used in inscriptions making its interpretation difficult and time-consuming. Many of the surviving inscriptions had either been damaged…
