Dark AI… Dark humans…
A study found that hiring algorithms are too opaque for us to understand if they are fair or not. (1) In other news, a scientist tried to help humans design algorithms that would never go the wrong way, doing harm rather than good, by implementing fail safes in their initial design (2) We have started […]

Chaos. Numbers. Simulations.
Digital computers use numbers based on flawed representations of real numbers, which may lead to inaccuracies when simulating the motion of molecules, weather systems and fluids, find scientists. The study, published today in Advanced Theory and Simulations, shows that digital computers cannot reliably reproduce the behaviour of ‘chaotic systems’ which are widespread. This fundamental limitation […]

AI. Quantitative. Quantitative. Tautologies.
Artificial Intelligence engineers should enlist ideas and expertise from a broad range of social science disciplines, including those embracing qualitative methods, in order to reduce the potential harm of their creations and to better serve society as a whole, a pair of researchers has concluded. (1) Life is not about measuring. Life is not about […]

AI imagining… Humans living…
AI passes theory of mind test by imagining itself in another’s shoes. (1) This is great. For the computer. But we should test ourself. Imagine you are a computer. But you can’t imagine how that can be, can you? See? Forget about what you can do. Focus on what you cannot. These are the things […]

N-problems… Understanding nothing…
Physicists are proposing a new model that could demonstrate the supremacy of quantum computers over classical supercomputers in solving optimization problems. They demonstrate that just a few quantum particles would be sufficient to solve the mathematically difficult N-queens problem in chess even for large chess boards. (1) Solving problems with less. Reaching at the end […]
