Over the last five years, unfairness in machine learning has gone from almost unknown to hitting the headlines frequently, and new cases of unwanted bias introduced in automated processes are frequently discovered. However, there is still no “one-size-fits-all” standard machine learning tool…
Despite the vast potential of artificial intelligence (AI), it hasn’t caught hold in most industries. Sure, it has transformed consumer internet companies such as Google, Baidu, and Amazon — all massive and data-rich with hundreds of millions of users. But for projections…
Companies looking to hire rapidly and in large numbers are turning to AI technology such as resume-screening programs. Unless used carefully, algorithms could multiply inequalities based on gender, age and race, which have already been exacerbated by the pandemic. Employers who use…
If “crowdsourcing sarcasm” feels like a Twitter bio, then it’s not hard to understand how crucial sarcasm is to modern language — which is why researchers in China have developed an AI capable of detecting sarcasm, according to a recent paper published on the…
The financial sector has historically been nervous about allowing its data to go off premises, making it harder to scale. Now it’s allowing for some data in the cloud to speed AI and data management. Financial services companies are and continue to be…
By Ágoston Török, Director Data Science, AGT International According to its definition, a design pattern is a reusable solution to a commonly occurring problem. In software engineering, the concept dates back to 1987 when Beck and Cunningham started to apply it to programming. By the 2000s, design…
Upgrading your product using top-notch technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) is often considered the key to gaining a competitive advantage. Even during the pandemic in 2020, 47% of organizations left their investments in AI unchanged and 30% decided to increase their AI…
As everything in our lives — including entertainment — turns digital, we’re starting to recognize the negative impact that digital consumption and technology have on the environment. For instance, Carbon Trust recently reported that streaming just one hour of the newest binge-worthy TV show…
Neural networks could be the next frontier for malware campaigns as they become more widely used, according to a new study. The study, which was posted to the arXiv preprint server on Monday, found that malware can be embedded directly into the artificial neurons…
