AI Ethics adopted by 193 countries, ML to decode Rembrandt's Painting, Detectron, and Tensorflow GNN

Artificial intelligence (AI) used to be thought of as an idealistic technology that can only exist in sci-fi movies. Contrasting to the belief, today the technology has become so mature in a short tenure that all major companies are using it to their advantage.

AI has become a major catalyst in driving the next revolution. The rate of progress in the field of artificial intelligence is exponentially increasing and impacting our lives like never before. From self-driving cars to robots replacing our jobs, everything seemed like a distant reality is within our vision.

For all those reasons( and more ), many get interested in learning more about AI, but there are some barriers to learning this shiny topic. Information overload and too much noise are major reasons that I decided to start this series.

I have shared some easy-to-understand free resources and guidelines to help those who are new to this topic. No one can become an AI expert in 40 days or 100 days, yet by following the pathway and keep practicing you will be able to find the path for success.

This article is going to be the repository of my posts, check it out?here.

• [Wired]?Can AI Truly Give Us a Glimpse of Lost Masterpieces? As part of an ongoing research and conservation program called Operation Night Watch, the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam is using machine learning to decode Rembrandt van Rijn’s original vision for The Night Watch, a piece that was trimmed on all four sides to fit a new location in 1715.
• [UN]?193 countries adopt the first global agreement on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence: All the nations members of the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) adopted on Thursday a historical text that defines the common values and principles needed to ensure the healthy development of AI.
• [LinkedIn Post]?No need to search, AI will paint you the image: The GauGan 2 is out and it uses a deep learning model that turns a simple written phrase, or sentence, into a photorealistic masterpiece.
• [CNBC]?Meta and Microsoft announced a partnership to integrate Workplace and Teams: The partnership between Meta and Microsoft brings together two rivals that compete in the market of enterprise communication software. This could prove most beneficial to Meta, whose Workplace service lags drastically behind its competitors in terms of users.
• [Verge]?Alphabet is putting its prototype robots to work cleaning up around Google’s offices: A team within the experimental X labs dedicated to creating “a general-purpose learning robot” — has moved some of its prototype machines out of the lab and into Google’s Bay Area campuses to carry out some light custodial tasks.
• [TC] Robots and AI assist in designing and building Swiss university’s ‘hanging gardens’: The project is a sort of huge sculptural planter, “hanging gardens” inspired by the legendary structures in the ancient city of Babylon. (Incidentally, it was my ancestor, Robert Koldewey, who excavated/looted the famous?Ishtar Gate?to the place.)

• [VB]? AI will soon oversee its own data management: AI-driven data management will speed up the pace of business dramatically. Data is king in the digital universe, and kings don’t like to wait.
• [ArXiv]?MetaFormer is Actually What You Need for Vision (Paper / Code): It is the key player in achieving superior results for recent transformer and MLP-like models on vision tasks. PoolFormer could serve as a starting baseline for future MetaFormer architecture design
