Online battles: combatting false information and reducing online risks

Futurum

Artificial intelligence (AI) — computer algorithms and systems able to perform tasks that would typically require human intelligence. Deep learning — technology able to automatically learn from a large set of digital media and apply what has been learnt to manipulate or create sophisticated media.

The cyber-physical system we are developing uses a combination of wind sensors, optimisation algorithms and artificial intelligence to search for combinations of façade positions and wind flow conditions that limit building vibration,” says Jared. Gathering knowledge only to keep it to oneself is worthless.

And in fact the big breakthrough in “deep learning” that occurred around 2011 was associated with the discovery that in some sense it can be easier to do (at least approximate) minimization when there are lots of weights involved than when there are fairly few.

Will AIs Take All Our Jobs and End Human History—or Not? Well, It’s Complicated…

Stephen Wolfram

But actual evolution seems more like deep learning with a large neural net—where one’s effectively operating in an extremely high-dimensional space where there’s typically always a “way to get there from here”, at least given enough time. And indeed simple models of evolution might give one the intuition that this would happen.

Often, it is enough to catch inconsistencies in audio and video streaming (AVS), such as subtle facial expressions that are not realistic, using machine learning. Artificial intelligence (AI) can be employed to make fake audio and video sound and look even more real.
