In graduate school, Gebru used Google image data to infer political positions from populations based on simple items—for example, the breakdown of types of vehicles people owned. After completing her PhD at the Stanford AI Lab, Gebru worked at Microsoft in its Fairness, Accountability, Transparency and Ethics in AI (FATE) lab and later at Google, where she researched items such as bias in facial-recognition software. Most recently, Gebru left Google; she claims she was fired for a critical email. Google counters that she made demands to stay employed that it chose not to meet. Because all...

The wild concept uses neural net theory to unify quantum and classical mechanics. This is a great jumping-off point for larger philosophical discussions. In a thought-provoking new paper, a physicist suggests the whole universe could be a single neural network—a competing “theory of everything” that could unite quantum and classical mechanics, he says. If this is true—and that’s a really, really Science Photo Library - KTSDESIGNGetty Images What’s a Neural Network? A neural network is what’s called a data structure, which is a shape or format for organizing ideas inside compu...

That ... doesn’t sound promising. But are we really all doomed to bow down to our sentient AI overlords? ➡ Berlin’...

‘Why are minorities in STEM so easily offended?’ And other stupid questions answered Story by Shares Fair warning: This is an opinion piece. I was one of the background people arguing on Twitter over the weekend.  Last Friday I had the distinct privilege of engaging with a legend in the computer science world. Saying I’m a fan of their work is a massive understatement. In fact, if you were to Google this person’s name and then select the “news” tab, you wouldn’t have to scroll far to come across several articles I’ve written with reverent references ...
