TechTank Podcast Episode 39: Civil rights and artificial intelligence: Can the two concepts coexist? – Brookings Institution

Artificial intelligence is now used in virtually all aspects of our lives. Yet unchecked biases within existing algorithmic systems, especially those used in sensitive use cases like financial services, hiring, policing, and housing, have worsened existing societal biases, resulting in the continued systemic discrimination of historically marginalized groups. As banks increase AI usage in loan and appraisal decisions, these populations are subjected to an even greater precision in denials, eroding protections provided by civil rights laws in housing. Meanwhile, the use of facial recognition technologies among law enforcement has resulted in the wrongful arrests of innocent men and women of color through poor data quality and misidentification. These online biases are intrinsically connected to the historical legacies that predate existing and emerging technologies and stand to challenge the policies created to protect historically disadvantaged populations. Can civil rights and algorithmic systems coexist? And, if so, what roles do government agencies and industries play in ensuring fairness, diversity, and inclusion?

On TechTank, Nicol Turner Lee is joined by Renee Cummings, data activist in residence and criminologist at the University of Virginias School of Data Science, and Lisa Rice, president and CEO of the National Fair Housing Alliance. Together, they conduct a deep dive into these difficult questions and offer insight on remedies to this pressing question of equitable AI.

Looking at 2030: The Future of Artificial Intelligence and Metaverse – Analytics Insight

An analytic predictive study for the future of artificial intelligence and metaverse in 2030

With the pace artificial intelligence is intertwining within our lives, there is no doubt that it will not end anytime soon. Rather, the future looks like a society that would breathe and thrive through artificial intelligence only. Experts believe that specialized AI applications will become both increasingly common and more useful by 2030, improving our economy and quality of life. On the other hand, metaverse already has us wrapped in its not so little fingers. From Facebook to Instagram, virtual reality, Whatsapp, and many more, it is quite predictable that by 2030, its empire would only grow further.

A report published from Harvard University presents the eight areas of human activity in which Artificial intelligence technologies are already affecting urban life and will be even more pervasive by 2030: transportation, home/service robots, health care, education, entertainment, low-resource communities, public safety and security, employment, and the workplace will be fully AI-enabled spaces. Some of the biggest challenges in the next 15 years will be creating safe and reliable hardware for autonomous cars and healthcare robots; gaining public trust for Artificial intelligence systems, especially in low-resource communities; and overcoming fears that the technology will marginalize humans in the workplace.

Weve seen a lot of breakthroughs in data analytics. The example of Watson which is an IBM set of algorithms has been very impressive in terms of managing large amounts of data, and ways of structuring the data so that you can see patterns that may have not emerged otherwise. That has been an important leap. But oftentimes, people confuse that leap with machine intelligence and the way that we think about intelligence for humans and its simply not true. So the big leaps that we have had recently in data analytics are important but it also leaves a lot of room for humans to assist these systems. So, it can be said that the wave of the future is the collaboration of humans and these artificial intelligence technologies.

In its fully realized form, the metaverse promises to offer true-to-life sights, sounds, and even smells, whether a tour of ancient Greece or a visit to a Seoul caf can happen from your home. Decked out with full-spectrum VR headsets, smart clothing, and tactile-responsive haptic gloves, the at-home traveler can touch the Parthenon in Athens or taste the rich foam of a Korean dalgona coffee. You wouldnt even have to be you. Members of the metaverse could prowl the Brazilian rainforest as a jaguar or take the court at Madison Square Garden as LeBron James. The only limits are your imagination. It is also expected that using a blend of physical and behavioral biometrics, emotion recognition, sentiment analysis, and personal data, the metaverse will be able to create a customized and enhanced reality for each person.

While the metaverse industry is growing fast, fueled by the pandemic keeping people at home, its an open question as to whether one company will eventually emerge as the dominant force, such as Google, which now has a near-monopoly among search engines. One positive side of this trend is that since it is a virtual platform, the chances of people actually getting physically hurt will lessen, and also it will encourage them to get out of their comfort zone to try new things. The only wondering question left to ask on this matter will be the legal implications of the metaverse. For example, whether a marriage in the metaverse will be legal or if someone is assaulted in the metaverse, how the convict will be penalized. With the virtual avatar trend, there are huge chances of false identity or theft of identity, so recognizing the right person and their physical address can be a difficult job. This should be a major concern for all of the countries and their legislative and crime division.

Artificial intelligence (AI) in radiology? : Do we need as many radiologists in the future? – DocWire News

This article was originally published here

Urologe A. 2022 Mar 11. doi: 10.1007/s00120-022-01768-w. Online ahead of print.

ABSTRACT

We are in the middle of a digital revolution in medicine. This raises the question of whether subjects such as radiology, which is superficially concerned with the interpretation of images, will be particularly changed by this revolution. In particular, it should be discussed whether in the future the completion of initially simpler, then more complex image analysis tasks by computer systems may lead to a reduced need for radiologists. What distinguishes radiology in particular is its key position between advanced technology and medical care. This article discusses that not only radiology but every medical discipline will be affected by innovations due to the digital revolution, and that a redefinition of medical specialties focusing on imaging and visual interpretation makes sense and that the arrival of artificial intelligence (AI) in radiology is to be welcomed in the context of ever larger amounts of image data-to at all be able to handle the increasing amount of image data in the future at the current number of radiologists. In this respect, the balance between research and teaching in comparison to patient care is more difficult to maintain in the academic environment. AI can help improve efficiency and balance in the areas mentioned. With regard to specialist training, information technology topics are expected to be integrated into the radiological curriculum. Radiology acts as a pioneer designing the entry of AI into medicine. It is to be expected that by the time radiologists can be substantially replaced by AI, the replacement of human contributions in other medical and non-medical fields will also be well advanced.

Juniper research funding to advance artificial intelligence and network innovation – FutureFive New Zealand

Juniper Networks has announced a university funding initiative to fuel strategic research to advance network technologies for the next decade.

Junipers goal is to enable universities, including Dartmouth, Purdue, Stanford and the University of Arizona, to explore next-generation network solutions in the fields of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), intelligent multipath routing and quantum communications.

The company says investing now in these technologies, as organisations encounter new levels of complexity across enterprise, cloud and 5G networks, is critical to replace tedious, manual operations as networks become mission critical for nearly every business. This can be done through automated, closed-loop workflows that use AI and ML-driven operations to scale and cope with the exponential growth of new cloud-based services and applications.

The universities Juniper selected in support of this initiative are now beginning the research that, once completed, will be shared with the networking community. In addition, Juniper joined the Center for Quantum Networking Industrial Partners Program to fund industry research being spearheaded by the University of Arizona.

Cloud services will continue to proliferate in the coming years, increasing network traffic and requiring the industry to push forward on innovation to manage the required scale out architectures," says Raj Yavatkar, chief technology officer at Juniper Networks

"Junipers commitment to deliver better, simpler networks requires us to engage and get ahead of these shifts and work with experts in all areas in order to trailblaze," he says.

"I look forward to collaborating with these leading universities to reach new milestones for the network of the future.

Sonia Fahmy, professor of computer science at Purdue University, adds, With internet traffic continuing to grow and evolve, we must find new ways to ensure the scalability and reliability of networks.

"We look forward to exploring next-generation traffic engineering approaches with Juniper to meet these challenges," she says.

Dartmouth University professor of engineering George Cybenko says, "It is an exciting opportunity to work with a world-class partner like Juniper on cutting edge approaches to next-generation, intelligent multipath routing.

"Dartmouth's close collaboration with Juniper will combine world-class skills and technologies to advance multipath routing performance.

Jure Leskovec, associate professor of computer science at Stanford University says as network technology continues to evolve, so do operational complexities.

"The ability to utilise AI and machine learning will be critical in keeping up with future demands," Leskovec says.

"We look forward to partnering with Juniper on this research initiative and finding new ways to drive AI forward to make the network experience better for end users and network operators.

University of Arizona NSF Center of Quantum Networking director Saikat Guha, adds, The internet of today will be transformed through quantum technology which will enable new industries to sprout and create new innovative ecosystems of quantum devices, service providers and applications.

"With Juniper's strong reputation and its commitment to open networking, this makes them a terrific addition to building this future as part of the Center for Quantum Networks family.

Cloud computing: Microsoft Azure ups the pressure on AWS – ZDNet

Microsoft Azure revenues might be lagging Amazon Web Services (AWS), but according to a new survey by enterprise IT management firm Flexera, adoption of Azure'scloud-computing options may now have overtaken AWS in some cases.

Flexera's new 2022 State of the Cloud report gathered the opinions of 753 respondents in late 2021 and found that Azure was the only public cloud provider whose adoption had grown significantly over the past year.

The best cloud storage services

Free and cheap personal and small business cloud storage services are everywhere. But, which one is best for you? Let's look at the top cloud storage options.

Read More

Today, 80% of enterprises are using Azure, up from 73% last year, while AWS's share dropped from 79% to 77% in the period.

SEE: Cloud computing is the key to business success. But unlocking its benefits is hard work

Google Cloud is yet to become profitable, but it is a comfortable third-runner with 48% adoption, down from 49% last year, while adoption of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure dropped from 32% last year to 27% today. IBM Cloud's share was flat at 25%.

The report also looked at whether users were running significant workloads, some workloads, or just experimenting with a provider.

Azure and AWS were tied on significant workloads at 47%, while 33% of enterprises were using some workloads on Azure versus 33% in this category on AWS.

The good news for Google Cloud's ongoing push to win marketshare is that 23% of respondents are experimenting with it, which signals potential revenue growth in the future.

AWS still leads Azure among SMBs. However, even here Microsoft is closing the gap. AWS's 69% share among SMBs was down from 72% last year versus Azure's 59% share today, up from 48% last year. GCP's share rose from 39% to 43% year on year. Oracle Cloud also won more SMBs and had a 28% share, up from 15%, while IBM was up from 20% to 24%.

Today, of course, few are locked in with one cloud provider. Multicloud continues to growand is basically the norm. Flexera found that 79% of organizations are using multiple public clouds while 60% are using more than one private cloud.

Despite this, it found that 45% of apps are siloed on different clouds, so while they are using multiple clouds, each app is stuck on one provider. Some 44% are using multiple providers for failover when major cloud outages occur. That seems sensible, given that in the past two years, AWS, Azure and Google have suffered several hour-long outages.

SEE: What is cloud computing? Everything you need to know about the cloud explained

The challenge of managing security in multicloud justified Microsoft's recent move to bring Defender for Cloud to Google Cloudand AWS. It also makes projects like Cloud Security Notification Framework (CSNF) necessary. Among large enterprises with more than 10,000 employees, multicloud security tools are now, at 41%, the top tool used by organizations, followed by multicloud cost management tools at 37%. Governance tools and management tools were used by 34% and 33% of large enterprise, respectively.

Cost management tools are critical because the survey found respondents believed their organizations waste 32% of cloud spend. However, waste is likely higher, Flexera notes.

While Azure may be narrowing the gap in some areas, AWS is still the biggest cloud provider by some way: according to data from Synergy Research, Amazon, Microsoft and Google continue to account for more than half of worldwide cloud spending, with Q3 2021 market shares of 33%, 20% and 10%.
