ACM, the Association for Computing Machinery, has named Alfred Vaino Aho and Jeffrey David Ullman the recipients of the 2020 ACM A.M. Turing Award for fundamental algorithms and theory underlying programming language implementation. They have been recognised for synthesising these results in their highly influential books, which educated generations of computer scientists. Being the “Nobel…

Scapegoating Algorithms: Stanford’s Vaccine Distribution Misfiring Exposes Our Attitudes Towards AI
“Stanford Medicine residents were left out of the first wave of staff members for the new Pfizer vaccine.” In what sounds like a textbook case of scapegoating, the Stanford Medical Centre was caught dodging responsibility from what appears to be a glaringly “human” error. Last week, the frontline workers at the medical centre protested how…

“Researchers propose a framework for regulating algorithms that will ensure world-class clinical performance and build trust.” Machine learning models are considered to gradually take over most of the mundane tasks of clinicians and other medical professionals. In a way, assisting them with insights and cutting the downtime. These models are already getting good at helping…

A recently released report, Automating Society 2020, provides policy recommendations with an aim to better ensure that Algorithmic Decision Making (ADM) systems currently being deployed and those about to be implemented throughout Europe are effectively consistent with human rights and democracy. Despite several issues that come with implementing ADM systems in the public sector including…

“Netflix and Amazon compete to provide the customers with best recommendations. But algorithm feedback dynamics could lead to real problems.” Algorithms competing to recommend a better movie is not a problem, but when they are tasked with hiring or granting loans, it can become a huge problem. Researchers at Stanford’s Artificial Intelligence department published a…

Recently, a team of researchers from MIT CSAIL recommended that researchers should focus on three key areas that prioritise to deliver computing speed-ups, which are new algorithms, higher-performance software and more specialised hardware, and the need for moving away from focusing on creating only smaller hardware. The researchers stated that semiconductor miniaturisation is running out…

“Artificial Intelligence, deep learning, machine learning — whatever you’re doing if you don’t understand it — learn it. Because otherwise, you’re going to be a dinosaur within 3 years.” — Mark Cuban In a very short period of time Machine learning and Data Science has become one of the most competitive domains. We see and hear about Machine Learning…

While India has been struggling with a host of social evils and discrimination based on caste, creed, gender and religion, an Indian researcher has developed a new algorithm that will help make artificial intelligence less biased while processing data. The students of Indian Institute of Technology Madras were a part of an international research project,…

Finding the shortest path or the most optimised path is prevalent in biological systems. Ants don’t just fancy a random rendezvous in search for food. Many biological systems barring humans are quite efficient in the conservation of energy, in carrying out their routines. A close similarity can be found in the way computers work. The…
