Description: We’ve all heard about “The Algorithms” that affect our lives, making decisions for and about us. And artificial intelligence systems are recommending podcasts, picking out targeted ads, and playing games against humans every single day. This week, we’re going to skim the surface of AI and chat about everything from Siri to personality prediction software. How are these tools used to help the world, or are we mostly heading toward a dystopian future? What’s the Turing test and is it even a useful measure of artificial intelligence? And if a poem is written with software… is it really art? (We don’t know either.)Sources:AI-[Poem]http://janusnode.com/[Truth or Fail]https://www.zdnet.com/article/google-ai-vs-siri-vs-bing-iq-tests-show-one-is-smartest-by-a-mile/https://arxiv.org/abs/1709.10242https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-38390798[Fact Off]Anti-poaching:https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/new-ai-camera-helps-conservationists-spot-elephant-poachers-180971180/https://www.inverse.com/article/52203-ai-camera-poacher-watchhttps://www.inverse.com/article/48043-paul-allen-makes-amends-with-coral-reefs-with-artificial-intelligence-researchEye tracking:https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnhum.2018.00105/full?utm_source=FWEB&utm_medium=NBLOG&utm_campaign=ECO_FNHUM_personality-eye-movements[Ask the Science Couch]Turing test:https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/turing-test/https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn20865-software-tricks-people-into-thinking-it-is-human/https://www.smithsonianmag.com/innovation/turing-test-measures-something-but-not-intelligence-180951702/https://www.wired.com/2012/06/flawed-turing-test/https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/jun/09/scientists-disagree-over-whether-turing-test-has-been-passed[Butt One More Thing]Artificial anus:https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/5655776
