Artificial Intelligence is the next battleground for civil rights
Awesome, not awesome. #Awesome“In a hospital in China, human doctors diagnosed a number of patients in a vegetative state as unlikely to ever wake up — but a second opinion from an algorithm said they would recover in less than a year. In seven cases, the algorithm was right. The AI algorithm, developed by the Chinese Academy of […]
Artificial Intelligence could make good health-care available to everyone in the world…
Awesome, not awesome. #Awesome“…a recent paper made the case that AI advances could help decrease global health-care discrepancies, particularly for people who live far away from urban centers. Researchers from Georgetown University and the nonprofit Washington Institute for Health Sciences noted that maternal mortality rate (often used as a signal for overall quality of health-care availability), […]

Making music using new sounds generated with machine learningMaking music using new sounds generated with machine learningResearch Scientist, Magenta, Google Brain
Technology has always played a role in inspiring musicians in new and creative ways. The guitar amp gave rock musicians a new palette of sounds to play with in the form of feedback and distortion. And the sounds generated by synths helped shape the sound of electronic music. But what about new technologies like machine […]
Understanding the inner workings of neural networksUnderstanding the inner workings of neural networksResearch Scientist
Neural networks are a powerful approach to machine learning, allowing computers to understand images, recognize speech, translate sentences, play Go, and much more. As much as we’re using neural networks in our technology at Google, there’s more to learn about how these systems accomplish these feats. For example, neural networks can learn how to recognize […]
Machine learning meets cultureMachine learning meets cultureExperiments Team Lead
Whether helpingphysicians identify disease orfinding photos of “hugs,” AI is behind a lot of the work we do at Google. And at our Arts & Culture Lab in Paris, we’ve been experimenting with how AI can be used for the benefit of culture. Today, we’re sharing our latest experiments—prototypes that build on seven years of […]
