By John P. Desmond, AI Trends Editor The AI stack defined by Carnegie Mellon University is fundamental to the approach being taken by the US Army for its AI development platform efforts, according to Isaac Faber, Chief Data Scientist at the US Army AI Integration Center, speaking at the AI World Government event held in-person and virtually […]
By John P. Desmond, AI Trends Editor Engineers tend to see things in unambiguous terms, which some may call Black and White terms, such as a choice between right or wrong and good and bad. The consideration of ethics in AI is highly nuanced, with vast gray areas, making it challenging for AI software engineers to […]
By Rachel Thomas, founder, fast.ai and Asst. Professor, Data Institute, University of San Francisco There are frequent media headlines about both the scarcity of machine learning talent and about the promises of companies claiming their products automate machine learning and eliminate the need for ML expertise altogether. In his recent keynote at the TensorFlow DevSummit, Google’s head of AI Jeff […]

It’s a college major that sounds straight out of science fiction: Starting this fall, at least two U.S. schools are offering degrees focused on artificial intelligence. Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh announced on May 10 that the school will launch a bachelor of science program in artificial intelligence this fall. “Specialists in artificial intelligence have never been more important, in shorter supply or in greater […]
Since its founding by Elon Musk and others nearly two years ago, nonprofit research lab OpenAI has published dozens of research papers. One posted online recently is different: Its lead author is still in high school. The wunderkind is Kevin Frans, a senior currently working on his college applications. He trained his first neural net—the kind of system that tech […]
Microsoft has launched an online AI course for developers who want to expand their knowledge of machine learning, and an online entry-level software development class. Not enough data scientists and machine learning developers are available to fulfill the current demand. Thus a number of large companies have started to teach the fundamentals of these disciplines […]
