These laughable depictions of AI can have serious consequences

What do you imagine when you think about artificial intelligence? For many of us, the question conjures up images from movies, novels, posters, and media reports. Butthese visualizations are often risibly unrealistic depictions of AI. Just check out these beauties: These images might make us laugh. Unfortunately, they can also mislead us about AI’s potential, reinforce stereotypes, and erase minorities from visions of the future.

We might have help by pouring paint onto blasting speaker membranes and catching the paint spills on paper, we might have helped by playing the drums with paint splashing drumsticks, but the real artist was the sound. We were just the instruments. In a fun and creative art experiment, two musicians–Shipsi (keyboards/vocals) and Reynsi (drums/keyboards/vocals)– the guys behindInstrumenti, a musical project based in Riga, Latvia developed a very cool and creative way to make music album artwork by pouring paint onto blasting speaker membranes and catching the paint spills on paper....

These new metrics help grade AI models’ trustworthiness

These new metrics help grade AI models’ trustworthiness How far do you trust machine learning? For many years, machine learning researchers measured the trustworthiness of their models through metrics such as accuracy, precision, and F1 score. These metrics compare the number of correct and incorrect predictions made by a machine learning model in various ways. They can answer important questions such as if a model is making random guesses or if it has actually learned something....

These new semiconductors could revolutionize the solar energy industry

These new semiconductors could revolutionize the solar energy industry Halide perovskites Our lab in Cambridge, England, is working with a promising new family of materials known ashalide perovskites. They are semiconductors, conducting charges when stimulated with light. Perovskite inks are deposited onto glass or plastic to make extremely thin films – around one-hundredth of the width of a human hair – made up of metal, halide, and organic ions. When sandwiched between electrode contacts, these films makesolar cells or LED devices....
