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 transfers 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 is 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 articles over-hypes (anti-hypes?) a questionable graph on Chinese AI investments.

In the new documentary “Our New President,” director Maxim Pozdorovkin (“The Truth About Killer Robots,” “Pussy Riot: A Punk Prayer”) tells the story of Donald Trump's rise to political power entirely through the use of state-sponsored Russian TV news. Equal parts cautionary tale and absurdist farce, “Our New President” is the mirror image of the Russiagate coverage that has dominated American nightly newscasts for the last two years. In this episode of TrumpWatch, Maxim reflects on what the Russian media portrayal of Trump can tell us about that country's broader perceptions of the President.

Maxim Pozdorovkin has directed multiple documentaries, including Capital,[1] p*ssy Riot: A Punk Prayer, The Notorious Mr. Bout, Our New President and his most recent, now available on HBO, The Truth About Killer Robots. We explore how automation, AI, and robots are diminishing our humanity, not just killing jobs
When a robot kills a human, who takes the blame? An eerie, eye-opening work of science nonfiction, the new HBO documentary “The Truth About Killer Robots” considers three automation cases, raising questions of accountability and morality in the world of robotics. Exploring the provocative viewpoints of engineers, journalists and philosophers, the film goes beyond sensational deaths to examine more subtle but pervasive ways that robots affect humanity. In this installment of “Leonard Lopate at Large” on WBAI, Maxim Pozdorovkin, director of "The Truth About Killer Robots" discusses this thought-provoking work.
