Why kids need special protection from AI’s influence
Algorithms can change the course of children’s lives. Kids are interacting with Alexas that can record their voice data and influence their speech and social development. They’re binging videos on TikTok and YouTube pushed to them by recommendation systems that end up shaping their worldviews.

From support function to growth engine: The future of AI and customer service
When it comes to imagining the future, customer service often gets painted in a dystopian light. Take the 2002 sci-fi film Minority Report. Tom Cruise’s John Anderton walks into the Gap, an identity recognition system scans him, and a hologram asks about a recent purchase.

Existe-t-il un point de non-retour dans les écosystèmes ?
Y a-t-il vraiment, dans les écosystèmes, un seuil de perturbations au-delà duquel le milieu se détériore brutalement ?

How special relativity can help AI predict the future
Nobody knows what will happen in the future, but some guesses are a lot better than others. A kicked football will not reverse in midair and return to the kicker’s foot. A half-eaten cheeseburger will not become whole again. A broken arm will not heal overnight.

Podcast: Want consumer privacy? Try China
The narrative in the US that the Chinese don’t care about data privacy is simply misguided. It’s true that the Chinese government has built a sophisticated surveillance apparatus (with the help of Western companies), and continues to spy on its citizenry.

Too many AI researchers think real-world problems are not relevant
Any researcher who’s focused on applying machine learning to real-world problems has likely received a response like this one: “The authors present a solution for an original and highly motivating problem, but it is an application and the significance seems limited for the machine-learning community.” Source : https://www.technologyreview.com/2020/08/18/1007196/ai-research-machine-learning-applications-problems-opinion/ Date :…
