Omniverse, teaching robots social skills. Google analyzes you when you are sleeping!

Responsible AI is probably one of the hottest topics in AI at the moment. It is the?practice of designing, developing, and deploying AI with good?intentions to empower humans and fairly impact society.

I recently hosted a panel discussion with Dr. Emmanuel Goffi, Dr. Catriona Wallace, Surend Dayal, and Kirsty Linehan,?about some of the most critical concerns surrounding AI, including ethical frameworks, the role of governments, and ensuring that new AI designs and applications are built around the principles of greater inclusiveness and increased fairness.

I encourage you to go watch the replay in?full. Don’t miss the discussions about the AI arms race and existential threats to humanity.

• [Nvidia] GTC21: Next-Gen Cloud Computing, and Cybersecurity accelerating science, Building Virtual Worlds with Omniverse, Transforming Industries with AI, Omniverse Avatar for Intelligent Virtual Assistants
• [VB] AI-driven virtual characters: Apart From Nvidia, Inworld AI and Synthesis AI aim to develop a platform that enables users to create AI-driven virtual characters which can be used to populate virtual worlds.
• [Google AI] Enhanced Sleep Sensing in Nest Hub: these enhancements allow a better understanding of sleep through sleep stages and the separation of the user’s coughs and snores from other sounds in the room.?
• [TC] Bipartisan bill to control recommendation algorithms: It would require companies like Meta to offer a version of their platforms that runs on an “input-transparent” algorithm.
• [The Verge] Google's parent company started a company to use AI for drug discovery: It’ll build off of the work done by DeepMind, another Alphabet subsidiary that has done groundbreaking work?using AI to predict the structure of proteins.
• [LinkedIn Post] New platform to create AR: Qualcomm introduced a platform, for game developers that supports a cross-device ecosystem and AR glasses.

• [arXiv] Can I use this publicly available dataset to build commercial AI software?
• [Conversation] Unis are using AI to keep students sitting exams honest. But this creates its own?problems: Proctoring technology allows exam-takers to be monitored off-campus, instead of a person having to watch them in a traditional exam room. Some programs simply enable a person to supervise students remotely.
• [LinkedIn Post] AnimeGANV2: Transforming photos into anime-style images.
• [MIT] This is how AI bias happens and is hard to fix: We often shorthand our explanation of AI bias by blaming it on biased training data but bias can creep in?long before the data?is collected as well as at?many other stages?of the deep-learning process.
• [Free E-Book] How to Lead in Data Science: Best practices for leading projects while balancing complex trade-offs, techniques for specifying, prioritizing, and planning projects from vague requirements, and navigating structural challenges in the organization toward project success. {Please, consider buying the book if you found it interesting}
