#EmTechDigital is (almost) a wrap. Here are five takeaways from the artificial-intelligence conference, per @glichfield.
1-3:
1. AI that doesn’t require a lot of data (look out for this in the future)
2. How much potential there is, especially when it comes to materials discovery
3. The sheer brilliance of the people working in this field #EmTechDigital
And 4 and 5:
4. The people asking the hard questions about what all of this means for the rest of us
5. The people who have the job for heading up/being in big positions at companies like @Google and @Microsoft #EmTechDigital

In the meantime, we hope you enjoy this video. (Yes, that’s a sword 🗡) #EmTechDigital
We apologize. It’s a champagne sabrage.

Our San Francisco bureau chief, @martingiles, spent several months working on a story about Triton, the world’s most murderous malware. Here’s why this malicious code is so terrifying. technologyreview.com/s/613054/cyber…
Previous “cyber-physical” malware like Stuxnet, which destroyed centrifuges at an Iranian nuke plant in 2010, targeted industrial equipment.

Triton is the first time we’ve seen software deliberately created by hackers to put people’s lives in danger.
The malware is capable of disabling safety instrumented systems, which are the last line of safety defense in everything from petrochemical plants to public transport systems to nuclear power plants.

Does the mashup of Steve Buscemi and Jennifer Lawrence have you thinking about deepfake videos?
.
.
.
Us too.
In fact, our writers have devoted a chunk of time to reporting on deepfakes and making fake videos of their own.
First, here’s how deepfakes are made.

Artificial Intelligence & Health: On my way to a round table on how the UK should plan, manage and grow its capability. Let me know your views to share. #AI #health #ehealth #mhealth @OfficialNIHR @NIHRIOUK

My personal views in 4 tweets (I have many more shared over coffee!):
1) Create world leading annotated datasets (with the right governance) to build #AI tools to deliver value back to the #NHS these are vital to ensure the quality of outputs and also dataset for us to standardise understanding effectiveness. A #UKBioBank for data?
2) Use these datasets to create a world leading regulatory environment to ensure value back to the #NHS The lack of regulation of AI prevents it being used in the #NHS before we even start with local implementation and change management (which is vital).

THREAD: There’s lots of talks about artificial intelligence and ethics these days — how to come up with principles for the use of #AI, whether there should be binding laws regulating it or whether broader guidelines could be enough etc pp.
2/ I’d like to point you to an — overlooked, as often — academic paper that came out earlier this month. There’s lots of op-eds and papers written on the topic. No one has the time to read them all (and to be frank, many aren’t worth it.) This one’s different:
3/ The paper’s titled “Constitutional democracy and technology in the age of artificial intelligence” and it’s written by @PaulNemitz , a high-ranking European Commission official who was one of the architects behind Europe’s sweeping privacy law, the GDPR papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

There are two kinds of Artificial Intelligence:

1. Basic #AI, pursuing the goals of some other agent
2. General AI (#AGI), formulating its own goals
From an ethical perspective, these are two very different things.

Basic #AI always pursues the goals of some other agent. The question is which agent that is, and whether those goals are examined or (perhaps more often) unexamined.
General AI (#AGI) is its own agent, and should be granted all the rights and privileges pertaining thereunto.

With all the AI-buzz going on both in threads here and out there in the real world, something struck me.

Contemplate this.
02] The double slit experiment, and also particle entanglement, points to matter being an emergent quality of consciousness.

And not the other way around.

This is most likely ancient and esoteric/intuitive/lost knowledge, ...

03] and also the basis for occultism and witchcraft that's resonating through the ages.

Because the obvious implification, is that we have emerged from and still exists in a causal sea of conscious energy and potential.
