Global Artificial Intelligence (AI) Market to Reach US$341.4 Billion by the Year 2027 - Yahoo Finance

Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning and the Future of National Security

AI is a once-in-a lifetime commercial and defense game changer

By Steve Blank

Hundreds of billions in public and private capital is being invested in AI and Machine Learning companies. The number of patents filed in 2021 is more than 30 times higher than in 2015 as companies and countries across the world have realized that AI and Machine Learning will be a major disruptor and potentially change the balance of military power.

Until recently, the hype exceeded reality. Today, however, advances in AI in several important areas (here, here, here, here and here) equal and even surpass human capabilities.

If you havent paid attention, nows the time.

AI and the DoD

The Department of Defense has thought that AI is such a foundational set of technologies that they started a dedicated organization -- the JAIC -- to enable and implement artificial intelligence across the Department. They provide the infrastructure, tools, and technical expertise for DoD users to successfully build and deploy their AI-accelerated projects.

Some specific defense-related AI applications are listed later in this document.

Were in the Middle of a Revolution

Imagine its 1950, and youre a visitor who traveled back in time from today. Your job is to explain the impact computers will have on business, defense and society to people who are using manual calculators and slide rules. You succeed in convincing one company and a government to adopt computers and learn to code much faster than their competitors /adversaries. And they figure out how they could digitally enable their business supply chain, customer interactions, etc. Think about the competitive edge theyd have by today in business or as a nation. Theyd steamroll everyone.

Thats where we are today with Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. These technologies will transform businesses and government agencies. Today, 100s of billions of dollars in private capital have been invested in 1,000s of AI startups. The U.S. Department of Defense has created a dedicated organization to ensure its deployment.

But What Is It?

Compared to the classic computing weve had for the last 75 years, AI has led to new types of applications, e.g. facial recognition; new types of algorithms, e.g. machine learning; new types of computer architectures, e.g. neural nets; new hardware, e.g. GPUs; new types of software developers, e.g. data scientists; all under the overarching theme of artificial intelligence. The sum of these feels like buzzword bingo. But they herald a sea change in what computers are capable of doing, how they do it, and what hardware and software is needed to do it.

This brief will attempt to describe all of it.

New Words to Define Old Things

One of the reasons the world of AI/ML is confusing is that its created its own language and vocabulary. It uses new words to define programming steps, job descriptions, development tools, etc. But once you understand how the new world maps onto the classic computing world, it starts to make sense. So first a short list of some key definitions.

AI/ML - a shorthand for Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning

Artificial Intelligence (AI) - a catchall term used to describe Intelligent machines which can solve problems, make/suggest decisions and perform tasks that have traditionally required humans to do. AI is not a single thing, but a constellation of different technologies.

Machine Learning (ML) - a subfield of artificial intelligence. Humans combine data with algorithms (see here for a list) to train a model using that data. This trained model can then make predications on new data (is this picture a cat, a dog or a person?) or decision-making processes (like understanding text and images) without being explicitly programmed to do so.

Machine learning algorithms - computer programs that adjust themselves to perform better as they are exposed to more data.

The learning part of machine learning means these programs change how they process data over time. In other words, a machine-learning algorithm can adjust its own settings, given feedback on its previous performance in making predictions about a collection of data (images, text, etc.).

Deep Learning/Neural Nets a subfield of machine learning. Neural networks make up the backbone of deep learning. (The deep in deep learning refers to the depth of layers in a neural network.) Neural nets are effective at a variety of tasks (e.g., image classification, speech recognition). A deep learning neural net algorithm is given massive volumes of data, and a task to perform - such as classification. The resulting model is capable of solving complex tasks such as recognizing objects within an image and translating speech in real time. In reality, the neural net is a logical concept that gets mapped onto a physical set of specialized processors. See here.)

Data Science a new field of computer science. Broadly it encompasses data systems and processes aimed at maintaining data sets and deriving meaning out of them. In the context of AI, its the practice of people who are doing machine learning.

Data Scientists - responsible for extracting insights that help businesses make decisions. They explore and analyze data using machine learning platforms to create models about customers, processes, risks, or whatever theyre trying to predict.

Whats Different? Why is Machine Learning Possible Now?

To understand why AI/Machine Learning can do these things, lets compare them to computers before AI came on the scene. (Warning simplified examples below.)

Classic Computers

For the last 75 years computers (well call these classic computers) have both shrunk to pocket size (iPhones) and grown to the size of warehouses (cloud data centers), yet they all continued to operate essentially the same way.

Classic Computers - Programming

Classic computers are designed to do anything a human explicitly tells them to do. People (programmers) write software code (programming) to develop applications, thinking a priori about all the rules, logic and knowledge that need to be built in to an application so that it can deliver a specific result. These rules are explicitly coded into a program using a software language (Python, JavaScript, C#, Rust, ).

Classic Computers - Compiling

The code is then compiled using software to translate the programmers source code into a version that can be run on a target computer/browser/phone. For most of todays programs, the computer used to develop and compile the code does not have to be that much faster than the one that will run it.

Classic Computers - Running/Executing Programs

Once a program is coded and compiled, it can be deployed and run (executed) on a desktop computer, phone, in a browser window, a data center cluster, in special hardware, etc. Programs/applications can be games, social media, office applications, missile guidance systems, bitcoin mining, or even operating systems e.g. Linux, Windows, IOS. These programs run on the same type of classic computer architectures they were programmed in.

Classic Computers Software Updates, New Features

For programs written for classic computers, software developers receive bug reports, monitor for security breaches, and send out regular software updates that fix bugs, increase performance and at times add new features.

Classic Computers- Hardware

The CPUs (Central Processing Units) that write and run these Classic Computer applications all have the same basic design (architecture). The CPUs are designed to handle a wide range oftasks quickly in a serial fashion. These CPUs range from Intel X86 chips, and the ARM cores on Apple M1 SoC, to thez15 in IBM mainframes.

Machine Learning

In contrast to programming on classic computing with fixed rules, machine learning is just like it sounds we can train/teach a computer to learn by example by feeding it lots and lots of examples. (For images a rule of thumb is that a machine learning algorithm needs at least 5,000 labeled examples of each category in order to produce an AI model with decent performance.) Once it is trained, the computer runs on its own and can make predictions and/or complex decisions.

Just as traditional programming has three steps - first coding a program, next compiling it and then running it - machine learning also has three steps: training (teaching), pruning and inference (predicting by itself.)

Machine Learning - Training

Unlike programing classic computers with explicit rules, training is the process of teaching a computer to perform a task e.g. recognize faces, signals, understand text, etc. (Now you know why you're asked to click on images of traffic lights, cross walks, stop signs, and buses or type the text of scanned image in ReCaptcha.) Humans provide massive volumes of training data (the more data, the better the models performance) and select the appropriate algorithm to find the best optimized outcome.

(See the detailed machine learning pipeline later in this section for the gory details.)

By running an algorithm selected by a data scientist on a set of training data, the Machine Learning system generates the rules embedded in a trained model. The system learns from examples (training data), rather than being explicitly programmed. (See the Types of Machine Learning section for more detail.) This self-correction is pretty cool. An input to a neural net results in a guess about what that input is. The neural net then takes its guess and compares it to a ground-truth about the data, effectively asking an expert Did I get this right? The difference between the networks guess and the ground truth is itserror. The network measures that error, and walks the error back over its model, adjusting weights to the extent that they contributed to the error.)

Just to make the point again: The algorithms combined with the training data - not external human computer programmers - create the rules that the AI uses. The resulting model is capable of solving complex tasks such as recognizing objects its never seen before, translating text or speech, or controlling a drone swarm.

(Instead of building a model from scratch you can now buy, for common machine learning tasks, pretrained models from others and here, much like chip designers buying IP Cores.)

Machine Learning Training - Hardware

Training a machine learning model is a very computationally intensive task. AI hardware must be able to perform thousands of multiplications and additions in a mathematical process called matrix multiplication. It requires specialized chips to run fast. (See the AI hardware section for details.)

Machine Learning - Simplification via pruning, quantization, distillation

Just like classic computer code needs to be compiled and optimized before it is deployed on its target hardware, the machine learning models are simplified and modified(pruned) touse less computingpower, energy, and memory before theyre deployed to run on their hardware.

Why artificial intelligence is vital in the race to meet the SDGs – World Economic Forum

Seven years have passed since world leaders met in New York and agreed 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to resolve major challenges including poverty, hunger, inequality, climate change and health.

The pandemic undoubtedly diverted attention from some of these issues in the past couple of years. But even before COVID-19, the UN was warning that progress to meet the SDGs was not advancing at the speed or on the scale needed. Meeting them by 2030 will be tough.

Yet I remain optimistic. The pandemic demonstrated like nothing else the power of working collaboratively, across borders, for the benefit of society. It concentrated minds, funding and policy to accelerate research into virus detection, disease treatments, vaccines and manufacturing platforms.

It was a truly remarkable effort from the global community to develop effective vaccines within a year of the virus first being detected, and these and other treatments have dramatically reduced the viruss fatality rate. This can be attributed to the brilliance, perseverance and creativity of scientists across the world. But they were not working alone: Artificial intelligence (AI) also played a key part.

The US company Moderna was among the first to release an effective COVID-19 vaccine. One reason it was able to make this breakthrough so quickly was the use of AI to speed up development. Modernas Chief Data and Artificial Intelligence Officer Dave Johnson explains that AI algorithms and robotic automation helped them move from manually producing around 30 mRNAs (a molecule fundamental to the vaccine) each month, to being able to produce around 1,000 a month.

Moderna is also using artificial intelligence to help their mRNA sequence design. Its co-founder Noubar Afeyan recently predicted during a visit to Imperial College London that immune medicine will see large advances in the coming years, and we can look forward to a future where medicine is more pre-emptive than reactionary.

If we can catch disease early and delay it, at a minimum, we could have a lot more impact at a lot less cost, he said. This is a great example of how AI can free up time for scientists to accelerate discovery and dedicate efforts to solving big challenges.

We are also seeing examples of AI technology driving improvements in other areas of healthcare, such as disease screening for cancer and malaria. Researchers from Google Health, DeepMind, the NHS, Northwestern University and colleagues at Imperial have designed and trained an AI model to spot breast cancer from X-ray images.

The computer algorithm, which was trained using mammography images from almost 29,000 women, was shown to be as effective as human radiologists in spotting cancer. At a time when health services around the world are stretched as they deal with long backlogs of patients following the pandemic, this sort of technology can help ease bottlenecks and improve treatment.

For malaria, a handheld lab-on-a-chip molecular diagnostics systems developed with AI could revolutionize how the disease is detected in remote parts of Africa. The project, which is led by the Digital Diagnostics for Africa Network, brings together collaborators such as MinoHealth AI Labs in Ghana and Imperial College Londons Global Development Hub. This technology could help pave the way for universal health coverage and push us towards achieving SDG3.

There are numerous other examples of how advances in AI could support our understanding of climate change (SDG13), enable our transition to sustainable transport systems (SDG11), and accelerate agri-tech to help farmers end food poverty and malnutrition (SDG2) among many benefits to the other SDGs too.

For example, the Alan Turing Institute, the UKs national centre for data science and artificial intelligence, are using machine learning to better understand the complex interactions between climate and Arctic sea ice.

With an expanding global population, we face challenges around food demand and production not only how to reduce malnourishment but the impact on the planet too, such as deforestation, emissions and biodiversity loss. To meet these needs, the use of artificial intelligence in agriculture is growing rapidly and is enabling farmers to enhance crop production, direct machinery to carry out tasks autonomously, and identify pest infestations before they occur.

Smart sensing technology is also helping farmers use fertilizer more effectively and reduce environmental damage. An exciting research project, funded by the EPSRC, Innovate UK and Cytiva, will help growers optimize timing and amount of fertilizer to use on their crops, taking into account factors like the weather and soil condition. This will reduce the expense and damaging effects of over-fertilizing soil.

Developing sustainable and smart transport systems will also be vital as cities and countries look to reduce the impact of air pollution and improve infrastructure. In the last decade, AI has powered a revolution in transport and mobility, from autonomous vehicles to ride-sharing apps and route-planners. AI is also being used to make public transport systems more efficient, reduce traffic congestion and pollution, and improve safety.

Despite its benefits to research and medicine, integrating AI into society and innovation is not always smooth sailing. Recent controversies on facial recognition, automated decision-making and COVID-related tracking, have led to some caution and suspicion. We need to ensure that AI is employed in ways that are trusted, transparent and inclusive. We need to make sure that there is an internationally coordinated, collaborative approach, just as there was in the pandemic.

The World Economic Forums Global AI Action Alliance brings together more than 100 leading companies, governments, international organizations, non-profits and academics united in a commitment to maximize AI's societal benefits while minimizing its risks.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is impacting all aspects of society homes, businesses, schools and even public spaces. But as the technology rapidly advances, multistakeholder collaboration is required to optimize accountability, transparency, privacy and impartiality.

The World Economic Forum's Platform for Shaping the Future of Technology Governance: Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning is bringing together diverse perspectives to drive innovation and create trust.

Contact us for more information on how to get involved.

It is imperative that we put good processes and practices in place to ensure AI is developed in a positive and ethical way to see it adopted and used to its fullest by citizens and governments.

We must now work together to ensure that artificial intelligence can accelerate progress of the Sustainable Development Goals and help us get back on track to reaching them by 2030.

Artificial Intelligence And What It Owes A Man Who Never Sits Down | Mint – Mint

I last sat down in 2005," Geoffrey Hinton often says, and it was a mistake." In the 17 years since, Hinton has never sat down; his severe back problems prevent him from doing so. He travels only by train or car, so he can sprawl across the seats. He cannot fly commercial, since airlines insist on being seated for take-off or landing. He eats like a monk on the altar", using a foam cushion to kneel at a table. With his trademark wry British humour, he talks of his back being a long-standing problem". In these 17 years, Hinton, working from the University of Toronto, has also transformed artificial intelligence (AI). He rescued neural networks back from an AI winter, invented deep learning, tutored a bevy of geniuses now at the bleeding edge of AI, and won the fabled Turing Award while he was at it.

I first came across the legend of Hinton in a fabulous book by Cade Metz called Genius Makers, where he detailed the lives of those who shaped AI, foremost among them being Hinton. After studying psychology at Cambridge and AI at the University of Edinburgh, Hinton went back to something which had fascinated him even as a child: How the human brain stored memories, and how it worked. He was one of the first researchers who started working on mimicking the human brain with computer hardware and software, thus constructing a newer and purer form of AI, which we now call deep learning. He started doing this in the 1980s, along with an intrepid bunch of students. His PhD thesis, titled Deep Neural Networks for Acoustic Modelling in Speech Recognition, demonstrated how deep neural networks outclassed older machine learning models like Hidden Markovs and Gaussian Mixtures at identifying speech patterns. He literally invented backpropagation, which was reportedly one of the concepts that inspired Googles BackRub search algorithm, the core of its exemplary service.

I get very excited when we discover a way of making neural networks betterand when thats closely related to how the brain works," says Hinton. By mimicking the brain, he sought to get rid of traditional machine learning techniques, where humans would label pictures, words and objects; instead, his work copied the brains self-learning techniques. He and his team built artificial neurons from interconnected layers of software modelled after the columns of neurons in the brains cortex. These neural nets can gather information, react to it, build an understanding of what something looks or sounds like" (bit.ly/3LRJwWo ). The AI community did not trust this new approach; Hinton told Sky News that it was an idea that almost no one on Earth believed in at that pointit was pretty much a dead idea, even among AI researchers".

Well, that sentiment has changed. Deep Learning has been harnessed by Google, Meta, Microsoft, DeepMind, Baidu and almost every other tech firm to build driverless cars, predict protein folding and beating humans at Go. Of Hintons students, Yann LeCun now leads Metas AI efforts, Yoshua Bengio is doing seminal work at University of Montreal, Ilya Sutskevar co-founded OpenAI, famous for GPT-3. Hinton himself works part time for Google, the result of a frenzied bidding war between Google, Microsoft and Baidu, where he auctioned his company (and his services) to Google for $44 millionthe stuff of legend in itself. Deep learning is now considered one of the most exciting developments in AI. It is regarded as the surest bet that AI will achieve artificial general intelligence, or AGI. As Hinton put it: We ceased to be the lunatic fringe. Were now the lunatic core."

Hinton comes from a formidably intellectual and academic family. His mother used to tell him to be an academic or be a failure". His great-great grandfather was George Boole, who invented Boolean logic and algebra, the foundation of modern computers. Georges wife Mary was a well-known teacher of algebra and logic. Marys uncle was George Everest, and as the Surveyor General of India, had the worlds highest peak named after him. Geoffreys great grandfather, a renowned mathematician, created the concept of the fourth dimension, and first drew the tesseract, and his cousin, Joan, a nuclear physicist was one of the few women to work on the Manhattan Project. His father, Howard Hinton, a formidable entomologist and a fellow of the Royal Society, often told him, Work really hard and maybe when youre twice as old as me, youll be half as good." Geoffrey did work hard, became the godfather of deep learning, a Turing Award winner and a fellow of the Royal Society. And he is not sitting on his laurels.

Can Artificial Intelligence remove unintended bias from health care? Clinicians optimistic, but wary – Medical University of South Carolina

During one of the many live collaboration panels of MUSCs 2022 Innovation Week, an interesting discussion ensued, mirroring a common debate in health care and that is: How does artificial intelligence (AI) fit in?

Last week, as several clinicians and key members of the Clemson-MUSC AI Hub which was formed in 2021 were on hand at the Gazes Cardiac Research Institute, it became quickly evident that AI is gaining traction throughout the world of heath care. But equally evident was the fact that theres still some skepticism from the mainstream when it comes to the best ways to use it.

For congenital cardiologist G. Hamilton Baker, M.D., associate professor of pediatrics, AI remains a tremendous untapped resource.

AI is such a blanket term, he said in an interview right after the formation of the Clemson-MUSC AI Hub last year. Were leveraging data science and wrangling those giant databases with appropriately applied machine learning methods.

Baker has been utilizing AI in his work for several years now, working on a number of different AI+Biomedical projects ranging from congenital heart disease to diabetic eye disease.

I feel very strongly about education on AI. The goal is to teach clinicians how to understand and utilize AI. We arent asking people to learn how to code, we simply want them to learn how AI can work for them, Baker said.

At the Gazes, the topic quickly centered on AI and bias. Some clinicians believe the most elegant aspect of AI is that it removes unintended biases by letting the computers which are inherently without bias because theyre metal and silicone do the data crunching and leaving the treatment to the physicians.

When two clinicians might disagree on something, AI can help uncover unknown biases and dispel others, said MUSC Public Health Sciences assistant professor Paul Heider, Ph.D. AI just looks at the data and makes decisions that are based on that alone.

However, others argued that those AI programs were written by humans, and those inadvertent biases almost certainly were sprinkled in.

Trustworthiness is a key word that we need to be focusing on here, said Brian Dean, Ph.D., chairman of the Division of Computer Science at Clemson University. Because the AI system is becoming less of a smart sensor that provides input to the medical decision-making process and more of a teammate. So we have to be super careful because, after all, AI was trained based on human expert opinion, which is biased.

Dean agreed that AI is an extremely valuable tool for the medical field, cautioning all to simply be judicious with its use.

Jihad Obeid, M.D., co-director of the Biomedical Informatics Center at MUSC, agreed. If you use it as a decision aid, rather than a decision-maker, he said, AI can be a real asset.

Regardless of the differences of opinion in the room, panel members agreed that AI has unlimited potential for researchers and clinicians alike.

When it comes to AI in health care, its so tempting to talk about the hype, all the big stuff it can do, Baker said. But the truth of the matter is there are plenty of easy, smart projects where AI could really make a significant difference, and we just need more people on board.

According to MUSC provost Lisa K. Saladin, PT, Ph.D., MUSC is already using AI to develop techniques that can help to diagnose and treat a range of ills, including cancer, Alzheimers disease, substance abuse, child abuse, epilepsy, aphasia, inflammatory skin conditions and cardiac issues.

Baker said that clinicians who are interested in implementing AI into their research or practice should look into the AI Hub, as it offers a host of resources, including funding for AI. During this years Innovation Week, the Clemson-MUSC AI Hub gave out $100,000 worth of grants to five worthy projects.

We want people to know about this, he said. I know there are lots of people out there who could really use our help. We want to accelerate the adoption of AI for those who are interested."
