?? Microsoft halts sales of facial recognition technology over fears it could be used to unfairly discriminate against people

Microsoft has announced that it is halting sales of its facial recognition technology over fears that it could be used to unfairly discriminate against people. The company said that it plans to restrict access to other A.I. services because they pose the same risk. This is a huge step for Microsoft, and it could set a precedent for other companies who are developing similar technology.

?? Salesforce AI Open-Sources ‘OmniXAI’: A Python-based Machine Learning Library That Provides One-Stop Explainable AI (XAI) Solution To analyze, Debug, And Interprets AI Models

Salesforce has built an open-source machine learning framework called OmniXAI, which stands for Omni eXplainable AI. This library takes an “omni-directional” approach to XAI, with extensive interpretable ML features that address many problems with explaining ML model decisions in reality. OmniXAI is a one-stop comprehensive library that makes explainable AI accessible to academics requiring explanations for each stage of the machine learning process. This is not limited to data exploration, feature engineering, model development, evaluation, decision making, etc.?

?? China supercomputer achieves global first with ‘brain-scale’ AI model

Research team says latest Sunway machine is on a par with the US Frontier, named as the world’s most powerful just weeks earlier. Its speed has made it possible to train an artificial intelligence program with 174 trillion parameters, rivalling the synapses in the human brain

?? MINEDOJO: Building Open-Ended Embodied Agents with Internet-Scale Knowledge

In a new paper, researchers from NVIDIA, Caltech, Stanford, and Columbia introduce MINEDOJO – a new framework built on the popular Minecraft game that features a simulation suite with thousands of diverse open-ended tasks and an internet-scale knowledge base with Minecraft videos, tutorials, wiki pages, and forum discussions. Using MINEDOJO’s data, the team proposed a novel agent learning algorithm that leverages large pre-trained video-language models as a learned reward function. The agent is able to solve a variety of open-ended tasks specified in free-form language without any manually designed dense shaping reward

?? GitHub’s AI-powered Copilot will help you write code for $10 a month (Free for students and maintainers of popular open-source projects)

Priced at $10 per month or $100 a year, GitHub Copilot is capable of suggesting the next line of code as developers type in an integrated development environment (IDE) like Visual Studio Code, Neovim, and JetBrains IDEs. Copilot can suggest complete methods and complex algorithms alongside boilerplate code and assistance with unit testing.
