This is why we can’t expect developers to become #AI experts. https://t.co/kH8V3C5OWc

Amazon mentions its “Just Walk Out” #AI technology implemented in their new Go grocery stores on stage at #TheAIConf.

I realize for the first time in dozens of exposures to the concept how their approach must look like a dream coming true for government surveillance agencies.

The (implied) key message from @intel at #TheAIConf, both during their interview with Warner Bros and their keynote segment, is that #AI mostly is a consulting effort, much more similar to handicraft than to industrial output. Which keeps the cost of entry very high for most.

Yesterday night I was reading about the scientific results reproducibility issue as a key criticism to academics on The Ideas Industry (Drezner) and today at #TheAIConf the same issue in #AI research is front and center during the keynote https://t.co/P1y1mOSXVD

Carnegie Mellon presents their semi-autonomous robots are #TheAIConf. The interesting part is how they developed the #AI to ask for human help every time the robot doesn’t have enough information to compete a task (like bringing coffee to somebody), directly or over email. https://t.co/DtTqG28mZc

Key questions asked about the use of automated #AI at #TheAIConf:

1. Do you have data to support automation?

2. Do you have the scale to justify it?

Exactly. So every time pundits have constant disagreement on a specific term, like cloud computing, whoever invented the definition associated with that term has failed.
