Latest Breaking Data News Highlights
In the realm of artificial intelligence (AI), researchers and scientists continue to push the boundaries of what is possible. Here are some of the latest developments in various fields:
PizzaGAN: The AI Chef
Researchers at MIT have developed an AI system called PizzaGAN, which can analyze a picture of a pizza and determine the type of toppings and their order. The system was trained on over 5,500 clip art-style images of pizzas and more than 9,000 images of real pizzas from Instagram. This groundbreaking technology could lead to AI systems that can analyze a picture of any meal and reverse engineer a good recipe for it.
AI in Healthcare
In the healthcare sector, researchers from IBM have developed an AI tool that can predict when a patient will develop Type 1 diabetes by detecting Type 1 diabetes antibodies in blood. Another AI system, developed by the same team, can predict if a patient will develop breast cancer a year before the disease appears with 87 percent accuracy. The system was trained on nearly 10,000 mammography images and the corresponding health records for patients.
Fighting Adversarial Attacks
Researchers from the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation have developed a method to reduce the effectiveness of adversarial attacks on AI systems. Adversarial attacks are a type of cyber attack that manipulates AI systems by introducing small, carefully crafted changes to data. The researchers' method makes small modifications to the training dataset, such as distorting images, to make the model more robust and increase its immunity to adversarial attacks.
AI in Anti-Trafficking Efforts
In a significant breakthrough, investigators have used Spotlight, an AI tool from anti-trafficking nonprofit Thorn, to find over 9,000 sex-trafficking victims. Spotlight uses Amazon's facial recognition technology and text-processing algorithms to match faces and other clues in online sex trafficking ads with evidence. The AI tool was developed using data on over 22,000 individuals from the United States, Finland, and Sweden.
While the university that developed an artificial intelligence system in 2019 capable of predicting people's gestures based on human audio recordings is not explicitly mentioned in the search results, the advancements in AI across various fields are undoubtedly making a significant impact on our lives. From predicting diseases to identifying victims of trafficking, AI is proving to be a powerful tool in our fight against various challenges.
