MIT Technologies Review has just revealed the 10 breakthrough technologies since 2001. One, Dueling Neural Networks, entailed the invention of two AI systems that can spar with each other to create ultra-realistic original images and sounds, giving machines something akin to a sense of imagination and making them less reliant on humans. The breakthrough was the work of Ian Goodfellow, a research scientist at Google Brain who has made several contributions to the field of deep learning, and is also a member of AIWS Standards and Practice Committee.

As reported by Technology Review, The White House promises to release government data to fuel the AI boom. Mr. Michael Kratsios, Donald Trump’s deputy assistant and Deputy U.S Chief Technology Officer, at Em Tech Next said, “Anything that we can do to unlock government data, we’re committed to.” The data can be used to train innovative algorithms in machine learning contexts.
While technology can be a positive force, there is a very real and important question about the role of data control. Therefore, we need to have a set of standards and norms to advance the peaceful development of AI, which is the reason AIWS has established the Ethical Frameworks for AI.
