Today, artificial intelligence is mostly about artificial neural networks and deep learning. But this is not how it always was. In fact, for most of its six-decade history, the field was dominated by symbolic artificial intelligence, also known as “classical AI,” “rule-based AI,” and “good old-fashioned AI.” Symbolic AI involves the explicit embedding of human knowledge and behavior

Leave a Comment / Artificial Intelligence, machine learning, Rise Networks Community /

Facebook is using AI to spot scammers and impostors on Messenger  without reading your chats. The feature uses machine learning to detect suspicious activity, such as adults sending out loads of friend or message requests to children. When it spots suspect behavior, it sends an in-app warning to the top of the conversation. This prompts

Scientists to teach AI to judge right from wrong

Leave a Comment / Artificial Intelligence, Rise Networks Community /

Scientists claim they can “teach” an AI moral reasoning by training it to extract ideas of right and wrong from texts. Researchers from Darmstadt University of Technology (DUT) in Germany fed their model books, news, and religious literature so it could learn the associations between different words and sentences. After training the system, they say it adopted
