DSDE: Emerging Technology

With so many buzzwords surrounding artificial intelligence and machine learning, understanding which can bring business value and which are best left in the laboratory to mature is difficult.

This article outlines 10 top trending technologies for 2019, a list that covers diverse topics such as security, the Internet of things, reinforcement learning, energy sustainability, and smart cities.

Joelle Pineau, a machine-learning scientist at McGill University, is leading an effort to encourage artificial-intelligence researchers to open up their code.

What is explainability in artificial intelligence, and how can we leverage different techniques to open the black box of AI and peek inside? This practical guide offers a review and critique of the various techniques of interpretability.

Leaders in the AI community came together to release the 2019 AI Index report, an annual attempt to examine the biggest trends shaping the AI industry, breakthrough research, and AI’s impact to society.

To make sure deep learning meets its promise, we need to reorient research away from state-of-the-art accuracy and toward state-of-the-art efficiency. We need to ask if models enable the largest number of people to iterate as fast as possible using the fewest amount of resources on the most devices.

The media is often tempted to report each tiny new advance in a field, be it artificial intelligence or nanotechnology, as a great triumph that will soon fundamentally alter our world. Occasionally, of course, new discoveries are underreported.

Rather than waiting for a dominant player to emerge, the oil and gas industry is at a point in its journey with blockchain where it makes sense to actively start working toward common architectures and standards in the blockchain domain.

Neural networks that borrow strategies from biology are making profound leaps in their abilities. Is ignoring a goal the best way to make truly intelligent machines?

When Google claimed quantum supremacy, IBM challenged it. Nonetheless, the development is really important for the future of artificial intelligence.
