Author: Karen Hao; Publisher: MIT Technology Review; Publication Year: 2019. The following article discusses how over the past few months, its been documented how the vast majority of artificial intelligence’s (AI) applications today are based on the category of algorithms known as deep learning, and how deep-learning algorithms find patterns in data. It also covers how these technologies affect people’s lives: how they…

Why Deep-Learning AIs are so Easy to Fool

Author: Douglas Heaven; Publisher: Nature; Publication Year: 2019. The following article discusses how deep learning artificial intelligence (AI) models, specifical deep neural networks, can be extremely brittle when presented with new cases. There is a possibility for these technologies to be maliciously attacked, such as by adding stickers to a stop sign to sabotage a car on autopilot. Cases of AI sabotage could…
