Facebook is developing deep learning software to understand what its users say and do online. Unless the company is considering major changes to its business plan, the company will use artificial intelligence to learn more about its users than what they share. And Facebook has a lot of data from which an artificial learning setup could draw inferences.
Microsoft cofounder, Paul Allen, has lured long-time AI academic Oren Etzioni from his 22-year University of Washington post to head a new project called the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence or AI2.
Singularity University produced a series of “101″ videos for the Graduate Studies Program to help acclimate the participants of the 2013 class to the...
To some of us, wicked fast quantum computers seem like the stuff of theory and some far off future. Not so if you work at Google or NASA. In a sign the technology is creeping closer to practical use, Google, NASA, and the non-profit Universities Space Research Association (USRA) recently announced formation of the Quantum Artificial Intelligence Lab and seeded it with a brand new D-Wave quantum computer.
This is part II of our coverage of Singularity Summit 2011, focusing on the topics of artificial intelligence and the brain.
