Summary | A nursing home in London developed an app to faciliate administrative work. Many social organisations still use more traditional ways of recording data; for instance, they take notes by hand about their residents. But this can be time consuming. The London-based nursing home called Nightingale worked with a team to create a smartphone app that would facilitate workers and nurses' work. Thanks to the app, care workers can now enter patient information digitally. The app uses algorithms and language recognition.

Teaching A.I. Systems to Behave Themselves

Topic Tags | artificial intelligence, Facebook, Google, threat
Summary | Artificial intelligence systems have made huge development leaps in recent times but there is still a lot of learning to do. The image recognition AI assistants of Facebook and Google demonstrate how, on the one hand, they can recognize a lot of images correctly if they have had enough data to learn from and, on the other hand, how it still makes bold mistakes. It suffices to manipulate a few pixels and the AI system gets confused. Developing AI systems not only takes a lot of data but also trial and error phases which are monitored and taught by human teachers.

Topic Tags | artificial intelligence, Google, marketing, threat, YouTube
Summary | Google has been using artificial intelligence to weed out offensive videos from YouTube and take them down. It is quite good at detecting nudity, graphic violence, and copyright violations. However, other less straightforward offensive material remains on the platform such as cultish sermons by extremist muslims. These are however not being monetized by displaying advertising next to them.

Britain shines in AI - but let's nurture it

Summary | British entrepreneurs and investors are doing good; the app Swiftkey was created by three Cambridge graduates and attracted the attention of Silicon Valley.
The Cambridge graduates founded Swiftkey, an app that uses artificial intelligence to predict the next word you can type. Nevertheless, Swiftkey is not the first UK company to be successful; Amazon was the first one. The reason why Britain is so strong in this competitive area might be because of the locations of the startups (e.g. Cambridge, Oxford, Imperial College and University College London)
