ai with ai: Slightly Unconscionable

/our-media/podcasts/ai-with-ai/season-5/5-10

Andy and Dave discuss the latest in AI news and research, including a GAO report on AI – Status of Developing and Acquiring Capabilities for Weapon Systems [1:01]. The U.S. Army has awarded a contract for the demonstration of an offensive drone swarm capability (the HIVE small Unmanned Aircraft System), seemingly similar but distinct from DARPA’s OFFSET demo [4:11]. A ‘pitch deck’ from Clearview AI reveals their intent to expand beyond law enforcement and aiming to have 100B facial photos in its database within a year [5:51]. Tortoise Media releases a global AI index that benchmarks nations based on their level of investment, innovation, and implementation of AI [7:57]. Research from UC Berkeley and the University of Lancaster shows that humans can no longer distinguish between real and fake (generated by GANs) faces [10:30]. MIT, Aberdeen, and the Centre of Governance of AI look at trends of computation in machine learning, identifying three eras and trends, including a ‘large-scale model’ trend where large corporations use massive training runs [13:37]. A tweet from the chief scientist at OpenAI, speculating on the ‘slightly conscious’ attribute of today’s large neural networks, sparks much discussion [17:23]. While a white paper in the International Journal of Astrobiology examines what intelligence might look like at the planetary level, placing Earth as an immature Technosphere [19:04]. And Kush Varchney at IBM publishes for open access a book on Trustworthy Machine Learning, examining issues of trust, safety, and much more [21:29]. Finally, CNA Russia Studies Program member Sam Bendett returns for a quick update on autonomy and AI in the Ukraine-Russia conflict [23:30].

ai with ai: AI with AI: Montezuma’s Regulation

/our-media/podcasts/ai-with-ai/season-2/2-8

This week, Andy and Dave discuss the US Department of Commerce’s announcement to consider regulating AI as an export; counter to that idea, Amazon makes freely available 45+ hours of training materials on machine learning, with tailored learning paths; Oren Etzioni proposes ideas for broader regulation of AI research, that attempts to balance the benefits with the potential harms; DARPA tests its CODE program for autonomous drone operations in the presence of GPS and communications jamming; a Chinese researcher announces the use of CRISPR to produce the first gene-edited babies; and the 2018 ACM Gordon Bell Prize goes to Lawrence Berkeley National Lab for achieving the first exa-scale (10^18) application, running on over 27,000 NVIDIA GPUs. Uber’s OpenAI announces advances in exploration and curiosity of an algorithm that help it “win” Montezuma’s Revenge. Research from Facebook AI suggests that pre-training convolutional neural nets may provide fewer benefits over random initialization than previously thought. Google Brain examines how well ImageNet architectures transfer to other tasks. A paper from INDOPACOM describes the exploitation of big data for special operations forces. And Yuxi Li publishes a technical paper on deep reinforcement learning. And a recent paper explores self-organized criticality as a fundamental property of neural systems. Christopher Bishop’s Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning are available online, and the Architects of Intelligence provides one-on-one conversations with 23 AI researchers. Maxim Pozdorovkin releases “The Truth About Killer Robots” on HBO, and finally, a Financial Times article over-hypes (anti-hypes?) a questionable graph on Chinese AI investments.

cna talks: A New Tool to Protect First Responders

/our-media/podcasts/cna-talks/2024/01/a-new-tool-to-protect-first-responders

As cities across the country become more networked and connected with smart sensors, more data is available to first responders than ever before. But how can this data be interpreted efficiently in emergencies where every second counts? In this episode, John Crissman and Shaelynn Hales from CNA and Godfrey Nolan, founder and CEO of RIIS LLC, join the show. We discuss their award-winning First Responder Awareness Monitoring during Emergencies (FRAME) System, which takes in data from these sensors, uses machine learning to interpret the information, and aggregates that into a common data view to increase emergency situational awareness.

cna talks: Moving at the Speed of Innovation — Regulating Package Delivery Drones

/our-media/podcasts/cna-talks/2023/08/moving-at-the-speed-of-innovation---regulating-package-delivery-drones

Companies, including Amazon, UPS, and Domino's are all investing in package delivery drones. These systems represent a significant paradigm shift from the current air traffic control model. With the private sector moving at the speed of innovation, the government will need new tools to regulate this new airspace. In this episode, we discuss CNA’s new agent-based model, UAS Cooperative Airspace Traffic Simulation (UCATS™), and how it can help the FAA and local stakeholders fairly regulate package delivery drone operations.

cna talks: Exploring Drones as Tools for Public Safety

/our-media/podcasts/cna-talks/2023/04/exploring-drones-as-tools-for-public-safety

Drones have become a ubiquitous part of our society, used by everyday people for fun or as part of their business. The potential of these tools seems limitless, but one area that is less discussed is how they can be used by first responders and emergency managers to help keep the public safe. In this episode Addam Jordan and Marina Rozenblat join John Stimpson. They discuss how jurisdictions can successfully implement drones into their public safety and emergency response plans.

cna talks: How Special Operations Forces Can Help Address IUU Fishing

/our-media/podcasts/cna-talks/2023/10/how-special-operations-forces-can-help-address-iuu-fishing

The People's Republic of China is the most significant contributor to the global problem of illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing. Its distant water fishing fleet is the largest in the world and operates everywhere, from the Pacific Island Countries to the Atlantic Coast of Africa. In this episode, Heidi Holz and Cornell Overfield join John Stimpson to discuss how US Special Operations Forces can help counter the problem of Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated fishing by serving as a global connector for this issue.

cna talks: The Future of Unmanned Systems

/our-media/podcasts/cna-talks/2022/05/the-future-of-unmanned-systems

Drones once an exclusive tool of the military, are spreading throughout our society. Hobbyists use them for photography, businesses are exploring them as a tool to make deliveries, and local and state governments are exploring how they could be used for public safety. But at the same time, we’ve seen the rise of another new paradigm, the threat of cyberattacks. How can we ensure that these technologies are implemented in ways that increase public safety while ensuring that they are safe and secure? In this episode, CNA analysts Steven Habicht, Adam Monsalve, and Addam Jordan discuss their award-winning research on unmanned aerial systems.
