Google Translation: Getting More Intelligent?

Translation has never been easier with AI and NLP tools. It is amazing for people who cannot speak foreign languages to communicate with the assistance of translation apps, like Google Translation. While there are many translation apps on the market, Google is by far the best free one. As with many of its products and services, Google spends countless hours perfecting its language algorithms. The Verge published “Google’s Head of Translation On Fighting Bias In Language And Why AI Loves Religious Texts.”

“Surveillance Capitalism”: Google Sister Company To Package And Sell Location Data From Millions Of Cellphones

A subsidiary of Google's parent company Alphabet, Sidewalk Labs, is using real-time mobile location data from millions of cellphone users collected over long periods of time in order to help urban planners make critical decision on transportation and land use. The program, known as Replica, gathers and anonymizes cellphone user data, then models simulations which allow civil engineers see when, how and where people travel in Urban areas.

RAI. Remotely Accessible Intelligence

Efim Ostrovsky President of the The Piatigorsky Foundation

Intellectual extensions of man—platforms, units and components of complex institutional mechanisms—move beyond personality and are aggregated on external media. As a result, they will inevitably be privatized, overtly or not, which implies that all operations on both collective and individual consciousness will be privatized. In the long term, after a series of mergers and acquisitions, there looms the figure of the Global Pharaoh.

‘There's no place to hide': Shocking study reveals how Twitter and Facebook learn private information about you – even if you DON'T have an account

  • Researchers looked at publicly available Twitter posts from almost 14,000 users
  • Algorithms accurately predicted 64% of the time what they were going to say
  • If the user didn't have an account, that percentage dropped to 61% accuracy
  • Showed that sites can infer data about users by looking at their friends' posts

A Storm on the Horizon? “Twister” and the Implications of the Blockchain and Peer-to-Peer Social Networks for Online Violent Extremism

“Twister,” developed by Miguel Freitas, is a social network platform centered around micro-blogging, much like Twitter. However, rather than relying on centralized servers owned and maintained by a single firm, Twister users operate a blockchain combined with distributed hash table (DHT)–like and BitTorrent-like protocols to both make posts and send private messages, and also to receive entries from other users. Twister’s raison d’etre is that it offers a social networking platform that cannot be censored and cannot itself censor.

This million-core supercomputer inspired by the human brain breaks all the rules

SpiNNaker's spiking neural network mimics the human brain, and could fuel breakthroughs in robotics and health.

Historically, the difficulty in making computers that could mimic the brain largely comes down to connectivity. Neurons — the nerve fibres that travel throughout the body and largely terminate in the brain — each have thousands of inputs and thousands of outputs. Computing systems struggle with anything on a similar scale.

Currently, it models one percent of the human brain, so a SpiNNaker system that could give a robot human-level cognition would require something of an engineering miracle.
