Q Research General #7100: A RISING OF THE PEOPLE Edition
DARPA/LifeLog DIGGING
FACT FILE A Compendium of DARPA Programs
A summary from 2003 by DARPA explaining the various R&D that's going on at the time. LifeLog was/is part of something bigger. Much, much bigger. A grand plan of futuristic technology merging with humans.
And this merging of tech with humans is part of a bigger plan: weapons. This research and development is sold to the public as futuristic defense weapons against, well, anything from terrorists to foreign states.
Now, 16 years later, we find out the truth: these weapons are used against us: The People. The obvious reason is control. This is evil.
Fascinating read. Big eye-opener.

RE: Priscilla Chan (We are going to need a separate thread for this most likely)
WHAT:
Per instructions from Q to "focus on wife" here is a start to one angle of digging that may be important:
Wife is a doctor and apparent instigator for projects highlighted in this post.
Zuck and his lady have given immense amounts of money recently toward broad scope of medical research and infrastructure, spanning from medicine to organ donation to general science to AI, literally having 50 scientists on payroll and physical facilities. The have done this to great public acclaim, generating fabulous PR - none kept secret, no anonymous giving here. They telegraphed a future $45 billion expenditure to unspecified charitable-seeming activities that are nonetheless not promised to charities, but only to their LLC organization.
WHY IMPORTANT: They have become in short order owners of a vast, ongoing scientific research initiative that will rival anything else in the world. Hypotethetically they could do anything under auspices of these projects, because A) PR has established it all as almost quixotically idealistic, to "cure all human disease", B) also established as quasi-charitable, thus shielded from cynics, and C) therefore potentially allowing work outside the realm of ethical or legal purview, hiding in plain sight.

Digging into Zuckerbergs wife, this thread of info cropped up. It's interesting to follow when viewed with Q's other drops about the intel gathering of FB.
"The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) is a limited liability company established and owned by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan with an investment of "up to $1 billion in Facebook shares in each of the next three years".[2][3][4] Its creation was announced on December 1, 2015, for the birth of their daughter, Maxima Chan Zuckerberg.[2]
The aim of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative is to "advance human potential and promote equality in areas such as health, education, scientific research and energy".[2] On March 6, 2018 the Harvard Gazette published that the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative would pledge $30 million to the Reach Every Reader project, both Harvard's President Drew Faust and MIT's President L. Rafael Reif were quoted in the article, as was Priscilla Chan, HGSE Dean James E. Ryan, and MIT's Sanjay Sarma, VP for Open Learning at MIT, and others. The article states: "To make significant progress in early literacy at scale, the team will engage in a rigorous, scientific approach to personalized diagnosis and intervention. They will develop and test a scalable, web-based screening tool for reading difficulties that diagnoses the underlying causes, and a set of targeted home/school interventions that change the way we approach intervention for young children with reading difficulties."[5]
The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) is a limited liability company established and owned by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan with an investment of "up to $1 billion in Facebook shares in each of the next three years".[2][3][4] Its creation was announced on December 1, 2015, for the birth of their daughter, Maxima Chan Zuckerberg.[2]
The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative's first acquisition took place in January 2017 with the acquisition of Meta Inc., a Toronto-based Artificial Intelligence scientific literature search engine[7]. The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative chose to invest $24 million in Andela. Andela is a startup focused on training software developers in Africa through their bootcamp and four-year fellowship program, during which they pair their trainees with U.S. companies needing development help. The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative led the company's Series B funding.[8]
On September 8, 2016, education startup Byju's announced raising $50 million in a round co-led by The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative and Sequoia Capital, along with investors Sofina, Lightspeed Venture Partners, and Times Internet. The funding has been raised to fuel their international expansion.[9][10]" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chan_Zuckerberg_Initiative
Of note, at least to me, were some of the, "investments." Meta in Canada, subject: Search engine AI. Hmmm.
The next one, Andela:
"Andela was founded in 2014 by four professionals who were working in the online education and recruitment business. The founders, Ian Carnevale, Iyinoluwa Aboyeji, Jeremy Johnson from 2U and Christina Sass,[4] started Andela as a training company to match developers in emerging markets not known as technology hubs[5] with North American companies. In June 2016, the company received funding from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. In 2017, Andela raised $40 million in Series C funding. The investment came from CRE Venture Capital, DBL Partners, Amplo, Salesforce Ventures and TLcom Capital, becoming one of the most highly funded African companies not based in Africa.[6]" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andela

Let's just toss Apple in too.
Siri Wiki-
Development[edit]
Siri is a spin-out from the SRI International Artificial Intelligence Center, and is an offshoot of the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's (DARPA)-funded CALO project.[3] It was co-founded by Dag Kittlaus, Adam Cheyer, and Tom Gruber.[3]
Siri's speech recognition engine was provided by Nuance Communications, a speech technology company.[4] This was not officially acknowledged by Apple nor Nuance for years,[5][6] until Nuance CEO Paul Ricci confirmed the information at a 2011 technology conference.[4] The speech recognition system makes use of sophisticated machine learning techniques, including convolutional neural networks and long short-term memory.[7]
The initial Siri prototype was implemented using the Active platform, a joint project between the Artificial Intelligence Center of SRI International and the Vrai Group at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. The Active platform was the focus of a PhD thesis led by Didier Guzzoni, who joined Siri as its chief scientist.[8]
Apple's first notion of a digital personal assistant was originally a concept video in 1987, called the Knowledge Navigator.[9][10]

[REGINA DUGAN]
- Served as the 19th Director of DARPA same time as the LifeLog project (now known as FaceBook).
- In 2012, she left government to take an executive role at Google.
- In 2015, she attended the Bilderberg conference in Austria discussing Artificial Intelligence.
- In 2016, she left Google and joined Facebook to lead a newly formed team called Building 8.
Regina Dugan told an audience at the 2013 All Things D11 Conference that her company was working on a microchip inside a pill that users would swallow daily in order obtain the "superpower" of having their entire body act as a biological authentication system for cellphones, cars, doors and other devices. Some would call Regina a totalitarian transhumanist. This was the person behind Building 8.
Not only does Facebook (DeepState) want to use the same type surveillance platform as China's for the U.S. market, but they want to use technology that would extract information out of your brain - whether you like it or not - information that you would consent to, but they "promise" to not manipulate it or you. Think about that.
The US government has alleged for years that Huawei has ties to the Chinese government and named Huawei and ZTE as serious risks to national security, claiming that their devices could spy on US citizens and send information back to Beijing. Even the heads of the FBI, CIA, and NSA all recommended that US citizens stay away from their devices. The revelation from Facebook that Huawei had access to user data has caused major concern.

The Pentagon canceled its so-called lifelog project, an ambitious effort to build a database tracking a person's entire existence.
https://www.wired.com/2004/02/pentagon-kills-lifelog-project/
PENTAGON KILLS LIFELOG PROJECT
THE PENTAGON CANCELED its so-called LifeLog project, an ambitious effort to build a database tracking a person's entire existence.
Run by Darpa, the Defense Department's research arm, LifeLog aimed to gather in a single place just about everything an individual says, sees or does: the phone calls made, the TV shows watched, the magazines read, the plane tickets bought, the e-mail sent and received. Out of this seemingly endless ocean of information, computer scientists would plot distinctive routes in the data, mapping relationships, memories, events and experiences.
LifeLog's backers said the all-encompassing diary could have turned into a near-perfect digital memory, giving its users computerized assistants with an almost flawless recall of what they had done in the past. But civil libertarians immediately pounced on the project when it debuted last spring, arguing that LifeLog could become the ultimate tool for profiling potential enemies of the state.
Researchers close to the project say they're not sure why it was dropped late last month. Darpa hasn't provided an explanation for LifeLog's quiet cancellation. "A change in priorities" is the only rationale agency spokeswoman Jan Walker gave to Wired News.
However, related Darpa efforts concerning software secretaries and mechanical brains are still moving ahead as planned.
LifeLog is the latest in a series of controversial programs that have been canceled by Darpa in recent months. The Terrorism Information Awareness, or TIA, data-mining initiative was eliminated by Congress - although many analysts believe its research continues on the classified side of the Pentagon's ledger. The Policy Analysis Market (or FutureMap), which provided a stock market of sorts for people to bet on terror strikes, was almost immediately withdrawn after its details came to light in July.
"I've always thought (LifeLog) would be the third program (after TIA and FutureMap) that could raise eyebrows if they didn't make it clear how privacy concerns would be met," said Peter Harsha, director of government affairs for the Computing Research Association.
"Darpa's pretty gun-shy now," added Lee Tien, with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which has been critical of many agency efforts. "After TIA, they discovered they weren't ready to deal with the firestorm of criticism."
That's too bad, Artificial-Intelligence researchers say. LifeLog would have addressed one of the key issues in developing computers that can think: how to take the unstructured mess of life, and recall it as discreet episodes - a trip to Washington, a sushi dinner, construction of a house.
"Obviously we're quite disappointed," said Howard Shrobe, who led a team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Artificial Intelligence Laboratory which spent weeks preparing a bid for a LifeLog contract. "We were very interested in the research focus of the program … how to help a person capture and organize his or her experience. This is a theme with great importance to both AI and cognitive science."
To Tien, the project's cancellation means "it's just not tenable for Darpa to say anymore, 'We're just doing the technology, we have no responsibility for how it's used.'"
Private-sector research in this area is proceeding. At Microsoft, for example, minicomputer pioneer Gordon Bell's program, MyLifeBits, continues to develop ways to sort and store memories.
David Karger, Shrobe's colleague at MIT, thinks such efforts will still go on at Darpa, too.
"I am sure that such research will continue to be funded under some other title," wrote Karger in an e-mail. "I can't imagine Darpa 'dropping out' of such a key research area.

Facebook's secretive hardware team signs rapid collaboration deal with 17 universities
Facebook's shadowy Building 8 research team needs help from academia to invent futuristic hardware. But today's pace of innovation doesn't allow for the standard 9-12 month turnaround time it takes universities to strike one-off research partnerships with private companies.
Enter SARA, aka Facebook's "Sponsored Academic Research Agreement." It's a deal forged by Building 8 head Regina Dugan with 17 top universities to get collaboration on new projects started in just weeks or even days. SARA eliminates the need for time-consuming further negotiation and faculty approvals.
In return for their labor, the universities will be paid a fee by Facebook. They'll also gain a focus for their research that will actually become a reality rather than staying theoretical.
The full list of universities on board is: Stanford, MIT, Harvard University, Caltech, Johns Hopkins University, Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, Rice, UC San Francisco, UC Berkeley, Northeastern, Princeton, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Arizona State University, Texas A&M, Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech, plus Canada's University of Waterloo.
Facebook refused to say what these schools will help it work on.
Previously, Facebook has collaborated with universities by providing them with state-of-the-art servers so they can help it investigate Artificial Intelligence. It's already working with more than 100 universities on research collaborations, and provides fellowships.

Here's What Facebook's New DARPA-esque "Building 8" Lab May Work On
"By Mike Brown on April 14, 2016
Facebook has revealed the existence of a new group called "Building 8," dedicated to researching and developing exciting new hardware products. "We'll be investing hundreds of people and hundreds of millions of dollars into this effort over the next few years," Mark Zuckerberg wrote in a Facebook post Wednesday, explaining that the team will be working based on the 10-year roadmap made public at the F8 conference.
Zuckerberg has hired Regina Dugan, the former head of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to spearhead the new lab.
So, what exactly could this secretive team be working on? Zuckerberg says the team will be working on "augmented and virtual reality, Artificial Intelligence, connectivity and other important areas." Here's what that means.
Augmented and virtual reality
The Wall Street Journal said that Building 8 will focus on making hardware similar to the 360-degree camera the company showed off earlier this week. The Facebook Surround 360 can capture everything in its surroundings in 3D, ideal for capturing video for virtual reality playback. The device is open-sourced, so hardware makers can come up with their own takes on the internals and build their own versions."

For the Regina Dugan question.
>Facebook Hired a Former DARPA Head To Lead An Ambitious New Research Lab
If you need another sign that Facebook's world-dominating ambitions are just getting started, here's one: the Menlo Park, Calif. company has hired a former DARPA chief to lead its new research lab.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced April 14 that Regina Dugan will guide Building 8, a new research group developing hardware projects that advance the company's efforts in virtual reality, augmented reality, Artificial Intelligence and global connectivity.
Dugan served as the head of the Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency from 2009 and 2012. Most recently, she led Google's Advanced Technology and Projects Lab, a highly experimental arm of the company responsible for developing new hardware and software products on a strict two-year timetable.
Dugan will bring the same sink-or-swim mindset to Facebook. "This method is characterized by aggressive, fixed timelines, extensive use of partnerships with universities, small and large businesses, and clear objectives for shipping products at scale," Zuckerberg said in a post announcing the hire.
The new lab underscores just how far Facebook plans to extend beyond its social media roots. The company has made plays at controlling hardware in the past-remember Facebook Home, the software that transformed an Android phone into a Facebook-driven mobile experience? That effort flopped, but now the company seems more focused on making bets in unestablished markets. Facebook was first to market with a high-end, consumer-friendly virtual reality headset with the Oculus Rift. And this week, the company announced that it is releasing the hardware and software specs for a new 360-degree camera that could help creators generate compelling content for Rift owners. That kind of project, which blends hardware and software to benefit another division in Facebook's empire, is exactly the type of thing Dugan and Building 8 will be working on in the future, Facebook chief technology officer Mike Schroepfer told the Wall Street Journal.

Obama in Calgary: Climate change chaos making politics more toxic
Obama's Calgary appearance draws crowd
Jordan Kanygin recaps the former U.S. president's speaking engagement at the Scotiabank Saddledome.
CALGARY – Former United States president Barack Obama called on global leaders to pay attention to the ways the world is rapidly transforming, urging action on climate change and wealth inequality in speeches in Western Canada on Tuesday.
Obama spoke first to a near-full arena in Calgary, home to several oil and gas company headquarters that are replete with empty office space due to a years-long industry downturn.
"All of us are going to have to recognize that there are trade-offs involved with how we live, how our economy is structured and the world that we're going to be passing on to our kids and grandkids," Obama said. "Nobody is exempt from that conversation."
He said fossil fuels have provided a cheap and plentiful source of energy since the Industrial Revolution. The remark drew a loud whistle and applause from the audience.
The crowd also clapped when Obama said there is indisputable science that the planet is getting warmer.
"At the current pace that we are on, the scale of tragedy that will consume humanity is something we have not seen in perhaps recorded history if we don't do something about it."
Rising oceans will displace populations from coastal areas and climate change is also having an effect on the prevalence of insect-borne diseases, he said.
"Moose right now (have) to deal with tick-borne diseases that they didn't have to do 10, 15 years ago," Obama said. "I really like moose. I assume Canadians, you, do too."
He said the question becomes how to build recognition, not just generally, but in places such as Alberta, that newer energy sources need to be developed and older ones have to be cleaned up.
Obama said the chaos wrought by global climate change will make politics more toxic.
"Imagine when you have not a few hundred thousand migrants who are escaping poverty or violence or disease, but you now have millions," he said. "Imagine if you start seeing monsoon patterns in the Indian subcontinent changing so that half a billion people can't grow food and are displaced."
The same engineering prowess that's been used to tap tough-to-access oil can be directed toward finding cleaner sources, Obama suggested.
"You guys can figure it out, but you've got to be open to it."
Obama rejected the Keystone XL pipeline in 2015 after years in regulatory limbo. The proposed project, which would allow more oilsands crude to flow to refineries on the U.S. Gulf Coast, has the support of his successor, President Donald Trump, but the pipeline remains mired in state-level legal wrangling.
Obama recalled with a mixture of amusement and frustration how in 2015 Republican Oklahoma Sen. James Inhofe, then chairman of the environment committee, brandished a snowball on the senate floor to dispute climate science.
"You laugh. This happened," he said. "That's not a good way of approaching problems."
Obama later spoke to a sold-out crowd of thousands at a Greater Vancouver Board of Trade event, where he said being president gave him insight into how quickly the world is changing.
Globalization, automation, the internet and social media have accelerated the ability of some businesses, such as those in Silicon Valley, to rapidly expand, he said. But at the same time, these innovations have displaced some workers who used to lead secure middle-class lives and led to culture clashes, he said.
Current U.S. politics, Brexit and the rise of far-right nationalism in Europe can all be seen as responses to these forces, he said.
He said he worries about the sustainability of an economic order with such a vast wealth gap.
"You start getting extreme political movements in reaction," he said, adding: "These changes are just beginning."
Obama said he expects Artificial Intelligence to revolutionize the job market over the next 25 to 50 years, pushing out many high-skilled workers. He expressed concern that countries are not well-prepared for the shift, although he said Canada is likely better positioned than the United States because it has a more robust social welfare system.
He also criticized the Republican party for embracing right-wing populism, and he traced it back to the late senator John McCain's decision to select then-Alaska governor Sarah Palin as his running mate in the 2008 presidential race.
"That was the moment when the Republican party changed," he said.
There has always been a strain of nativism and suspicion of elites in the party, he said, but Palin brought those attitudes to the fore and laid the groundwork for Trump's presidency.

These Cameras Can Spot Shoplifters Even Before They Steal
It's watching, and knows a crime is about to take place before it happens.
Vaak, a Japanese startup, has developed Artificial Intelligence software that hunts for potential shoplifters, using footage from security cameras for fidgeting, restlessness and other potentially suspicious body language.
While AI is usually envisioned as a smart personal assistant or self-driving car, it turns out the technology is pretty good at spotting nefarious behavior. Like a scene out of the movie "Minority Report," algorithms analyze security-camera footage and alert staff about potential thieves via a smartphone app. The goal is prevention; if the target is approached and asked if they need help, there's a good chance the theft never happens.
Vaak made headlines last year when it helped to nab a shoplifter at a convenience store in Yokohama. Vaak had set up its software in the shop as a test case, which picked up on previously undetected shoplifting activity. The perpetrator was arrested a few days later.

Canada Creates 'Risk Tracking Database' with Disturbing Parallels to China's Social Credit System 28 Feb 2019
Police in Canada free 43 Mexicans from near slavery
AFP GREG BAKER
The benevolent goal of the program is to find at-risk people before they are victimized or harm themselves, but the resulting system has disturbing parallels to the decidedly non-benevolent "social credit system" created by China's pervasive surveillance state.
Motherboard's Wednesday report on the RTD implied a bit of journalistic digging was required to suss out the details of the program, saying:
Documents obtained by Motherboard from Ontario's Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services (MCSCS) through an access to information request show that at least two provinces Ontario and Saskatchewan - maintain a "Risk-driven Tracking Database" that is used to amass highly sensitive information about people's lives. Information in the database includes whether a person uses drugs, has been the victim of an assault, or lives in a "negative neighborhood."
The Risk-driven Tracking Database (RTD) is part of a collaborative approach to policing called the Hub model that partners cops, school staff, social workers, health care workers, and the provincial government.
Information about people believed to be "at risk" of becoming criminals or victims of harm is shared between civilian agencies and police and is added to the database when a person is being evaluated for a rapid intervention intended to lower their risk levels. Interventions can range from a door knock and a chat to forced hospitalization or arrest.
Data from the RTD is analyzed to identify trends - for example, a spike in drug use in a particular area - with the goal of producing planning data to deploy resources effectively, and create "community profiles" that could accelerate interventions under the Hub model, according to a 2015 Public Safety Canada report.
Officials claim all of this data is "de-identified" by removing personal details such as name and date of birth, although data processing experts were deeply skeptical that would be possible to render such an intricate database completely anonymous. When a database includes over 100 details about a person's life, removing their name does not ensure anonymity.
The RTD (frequently referred to as "The Hub") was defended by officials as a compassionate project, but some of its "interventions" are clearly compulsive, such as the involuntary hospitalization mentioned above and interventions performed without consent for children as young as six. In at least one instance reviewed by Motherboard, the person "helped" by the Hub landed in jail.
Officials reportedly have the discretion to decide consent is unnecessary if the subject of their ministrations is "at high risk of harm." Among the risk factors evaluated by the system is mental health, including "suspected" mental health issues. One of the data sources for evaluating risk levels was Facebook, although some local officials told Motherboard it is no longer used. The privacy guidelines provided to local authorities are merely suggestions they are "strongly encouraged" to follow.
Some of the concerns about the RTD system are common to discussions about massive databases and Artificial Intelligence systems, which can scan and filter information with such speed and power that it redefines concepts like privacy and consent. A dozen relatively innocuous databases can be fused into a significant threat to privacy by algorithms that can tie the information together in the right way. Or perhaps in the wrongway, as Motherboard quotes concerns about the system making incorrect inferences or misidentifying people.
China's social credit system was initially touted with benevolent promises comparable to those made for the RTD, but it quickly grew into a surveillance nightmare whose conclusions can deny citizens access to employment, social services, and travel. Subjective mental health criteria such as "suspected" mental illness give the system many tools for designating an individual "problematic," and the consequences in Canada can already be more severe than a polite knock on the door and cheery offer of assistance.

Q Research General #7014: Between The Lines Edition
The Real Reason Why Globalists Are So Obsessed With Artificial Intelligence
It is nearly impossible to traverse web news or popular media today without being assaulted by vast amounts of propaganda on Artificial Intelligence (AI). It is perhaps the fad to end all fads as it supposedly encompasses almost every aspect of human existence, from economics and security to philosophy and art. According to mainstream claims, AI can do almost everything and do it better than any human being. And, the things AI can't do, it WILL be able to do eventually.
Whenever the establishment attempts to saturate the media with a particular narrative, it is usually with the intent to manipulate public perception in a way that produces self fulfilling prophecy. In other words, they hope to shape reality by telling a particular lie so often it becomes accepted by the masses over time as fact. They do this with the idea of globalism as inevitable, with the junk science of climate change as "undeniable" and they do it with AI as a technological necessity.
The globalists have long held AI as a kind of holy grail in centralization technology. The United Nations has adopted numerous positions and even summits on the issue, including the "AI For Good" summit in Geneva. The UN insinuates that it's primary interest in AI is in regulation or observation of how it is exploited, but the UN also has clear goals to use AI to its advantage. The use of AI as a means to monitor mass data to better institute "sustainable development" is written clearly in the UN's agenda.
The IMF is also in on the AI trend, holding global discussions on the uses of AI in economics as well as the effects of algorithms on economic analysis.
The main source for the development of AI has long been DARPA. The military and globalist think tank dumps billions of dollars into the technology, making AI the underlying focus of most of DARPA's work. AI is not only on the globalist's radar; they are essentially spearheading the creation and promotion of it.
The globalist desire for the technology is not as simple as some might assume, however. They have strategic reasons, but also religious reasons for placing AI on an ideological pedestal.But first I suppose we should tackle the obvious.
In most white papers written by globalist institutions on AI, the thrust centers on mass data collection and surveillance. The elites are careful to always assert that their interests focus on the public good. This is why the UN and other agencies argue that they should be the leaders in oversight of mass data collection. That is to say, they want us to believe that they are objective and trustworthy enough to manage rules for data surveillance, or, to manage the data itself.
For the safety of the public, the globalists want centralized management of all data collection, ostensibly to save us from those evil corporations and their invasion of data privacy. Of course, most of those corporations are also run by globalists that fill the guest books of events like the World Economic Forum to discuss the advancements and advantages of AI. The WEF has made it a mandate that AI be promoted widely and that the business world and the general public be convinced of AI's advantages. Bias against AI must be prevented…
So, what we have here is yet another false paradigm in which globalist institutions are opposed to corporations in terms of how AI is used. Yet, globalist corporations and globalist institutions both develop AI as well as pro-AI sentiment. The public, with its innate distrust of corporate moral compass, is supposed to be convinced to support UN regulatory reforms as a counterbalance. But in reality, corporate powers have no intention of fighting against UN control, they will ultimately welcome it.
This was the goal all along.

The bullet is even capable of making some remarkably sharp course corrections.
DARPA claims that the system is so easy to use that, during testing, a novice shooter using the system for the first time was able to squarely hit a moving target.
Making superhuman soldiers
Coming soon to a battlefield near you: DARPA has developed an incredible exoskeleton - a wearable mobile machine - which transforms any infantryman into a super soldier.
Made with help from researchers at Harvardâ?™s Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering, DARPAâ?™s Soft Exosuit is a lightweight skeleton frame which saves soldiersâ?™ energy when going about their battlefield business.
The sci-fi exoskeleton can augment its wearerâ?™s strength and endurance by assisting with movements and taking on some of the physical burdens of walking over long distances and carrying heavy objects, using in-built sensors and a micro-computer to intelligently match the requirements of its user.
A new study, where the suit was tested by seven soldiers on a 12-mile cross-country hike in Maryland, showed it reduced energy consumption by around 15 per cent, making troops more efficient and able to cover more ground.
Terminator robots which could destroy humanity
One of DARPAâ?™s big interests is the baffling world of Artificial Intelligence â?" smart computers which are capable of thinking in a similar way to humans.
Dr Steven Walker, the director at the head of the controversial agency, is currently funnelling a $2 billion (£1.55bn) investment into exploring how machines can be taught to communicate and reason in the same way we do.
The aim is to create lightning-fast military computers which can adapt to new situations, analyse battlefield data and ultimately advise soldiers and planners in the heat of a conflict, where every second counts.
However, AI has its critics, who warn that turning over the work of military analysis to machines creates the risk of a Skynet-style computer which could turn its considerable knowledge and power against humanity.
AI expert Professor Michael Horowitz, from the University of Pennsylvania, has said in interviews: â??Thereâ?™s a lot of concern about AI safety â?" [about] algorithms that are unable to adapt to complex reality and thus malfunction in unpredictable ways.
â??Itâ?™s one thing if what youâ?™re talking about is a Google search, but itâ?™s another thing if what youâ?™re talking about is a weapons system.â?
Fake limbs controlled by the brain and super-people
Other DARPA research projects include the creation of prosthetic limbs with the full range of movement of the real thing.
Geoff Ling, a neurology ICU physician, has even developed a mind-controlled prosthetic arm which the wearer controls with their thoughts.
Other incredible prosthetic limbs created by the research agency can offer a range of natural movements which the wearer controls via sensors placed elsewhere on their body.
However, conspiracy theorists claim that this is just cover for plans to develop better and more sophisticated fake limbs which can eventually be fitted to robot soldiers and other war machines.
This is something which Ling has publicly denied, stating that the US government has put limits on DARPAâ?™s powers to develop killer robots or a â??super-personâ?.

Scientists Want Orwellian A.I. Sentient Smart Assistants To Snitch On Owners And Discuss Contacting Police
Smart assistants like Siri, Google Home, and Amazon Echo could soon be implemented with a "moral AI" to decide whether to report their owners for breaking the law.
Scientists at the University of Bergen, Norway proposed the incredibly Orwellian idea of inserting morals into A.I. code at the ACM conference in Hawaii on Artificial Intelligence, Ethics and Society, Dailymail reported.
Yes, you read that right, scientists want to make that little hunk of metal of invasive technology even more invasive.
The researchers are pushing for what's being deemed, enhanced ethical smart software that could be potentially one of the most dangerous implementations into these home assistants leading them to become sentient and deciding human beings' fates; and not just any human beings, their own owners. As a result, millions of people would be under constant surveillance not even requiring a snitch program like Amazon's Ring doorbell spyware as Activist Post previously reported.
No, instead, little tin cans would be doing the watching that are sold as alleged "home assistants."
The research was led by Marija Slavkovik, an associate professor in the department of information science and media studies. As well as by two other professors at the University of Luxembourg and Zhejiang University, Leon van der Torre and Beishui Liao.

https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/news/googles-alphabet-in-talks-with-saudi-arabias-aramco-on-data-center-tech-hub-joint-venture/
According to people familiar with the matter, senior executives at Alphabet and Aramco have been in discussions for months - with Alphabet CEO and Google co-founder Larry Page among those involved. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the heir apparent, has encouraged the talks.
The deal is in the initial stages, with key details still to be worked out, and could well not progress to reality. It is also unclear who would control the data centers, and the data within them.
Should the venture go ahead, it could be listed on the stock exchange, separately from Aramco - the world's most valuable company - which is expected to go public this year after numerous delays, potentially reaching a valuation between $1.5 trillion and $2 trillion.
Meanwhile, Amazon Web Services is considering launching three data centers in the country, with WSJ reporting the $1bn deal is close to being finalized. Both Amazon and Alphabet have set their eyes on the Middle Eastern nation after Riyadh eased regulatory hurdles for foreign investment, reduced limits on foreign ownership, and took steps to embrace technology.
Using part of the funds obtained from selling five percent of Aramco, Prince Mohammed hopes to pursue the Vision 2030 initiative, a plan to modernize Saudi Arabia and turn it into a tech leader. The prince has tried to improve the nation's ties with Silicon Valley, and even invested in Uber. As the largest investor in SoftBank's Vision Fund, the Saudi government maintains billions in technology stocks.
But the Vision 2030 plan remains in its early stages, a mixture of promise, hype and potentially grand, record-breaking infrastructure projects. Foremost among them is Neom, a city planned on the border of Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Egypt. Led by former Siemens CEO Klaus Kleinfeld, the initiative hopes to create a data-intensive, highly-automated smart city with a starting investment of $500 billion.
The fact sheet on the project states: "[Neom] Includes Artificial Intelligence, virtual reality and augmented reality technologies, data centers, the Internet of Things and e-commerce."
Questions remain on matters of data protection across the country as a whole. Saudi authorities generally do not require a court order to access private user data, a fact that may be of concern for Western technology companies.

A message/veiled threat to anons? Lots of bee stuff lately in the news and twitter
The oval-shaped brain of a honeybee is roughly the size of a single sesame seed. It contains fewer than 1 million neurons, while the human brain contains 100 billion.
A team of entomologists is asking what all those extra nerve cells are good for after finding that bees can do the kind of fundamental mathematics once thought to distinguish humans and the primate animals they most closely resemble.
Many animals display some degree of quantitative understanding as they forage and fight, hoard and hide and find their way back home. Counting, for instance, is pervasive.
But bees can do something more, according to a paper published earlier this month in the peer-reviewed Science Advances journal. They can add and subtract, placing one of the world's leading pollinators in the venerable company of monkeys, parrots and, yes, spiders - the cognitive A-list of the animal kingdom.
The findings contribute to a growing body of evidence that the brains of insects are more powerful than once thought - capable not just of a vague numerical sense but of the sort of learning and complex memory tasks that make arithmetic possible. It also sheds light on the evolution of quantitative abilities in other species, decoupling numerical understanding from human language.
"A small biological processing system can perform quite complex things," said Scarlett Howard, the paper's lead author and a postdoctoral fellow at the French National Center for Scientific Research.
The small neural network employed by bees, she said in an interview with The Washington Post, points to a possible alternative to high-energy computing, suggesting that Artificial Intelligence should seek to model natural systems "that have evolved in complex and challenging environments."

Internet Trolls Are Turning Facebook's Content Moderators Into Rabid 9/11 Conspiracy Theorists
Some of the people responsible for moderating content on Facebook are suffering from post-traumatic stress syndrome while others are morphing into rabid conspiracy theorists, The Verge reported Monday.
Many of the employees at Facebook contractor Cognizant are having meltdowns while attempting to moderate the vast troves of content people post on the social media platform. Combing through people's content is turning Cognizant's Arizona office into a dark and sinister place, the report noted, citing interviews with moderators.
Several moderators told a reporter that conspiracy theories took strong root at the office. The 2018 Parkland shooting, which resulted in 17 casualties in Florida, initially horrified staff, moderators said. One person The Verge called Chloe, for instance, claimed her colleagues eventually began expressing doubts about the initial story as more conspiracy content was posted to Facebook and Instagram.
"People really started to believe these posts they were supposed to be moderating," she said. "They were saying, 'Oh gosh, they weren't really there. Look at this CNN video of David Hogg - he's too old to be in school.' People started Googling things instead of doing their jobs and looking into conspiracy theories about them."
Chloe added: "We were like, 'Guys, no, this is the crazy stuff we're supposed to be moderating. What are you doing?'" Others employees reported similar experiences. Moderating posts gave another moderator named Randy a form of PTSD and made him think weird thoughts about reality.
After seeing vast numbers of videos claiming the 9/11 terrorist attack was an inside job, he came to believe them. Randy also claims conspiracy videos about the Las Vegas massacre were also very persuasive - he also now believes that multiple shooters were responsible for the attack. (RELATED: Does The Parkland Shooter Deserve To Die? Broward County High School Pulls Assignment Asking Students This Question)
"I'm fucked up, man," Randy told The Verge, referring to his mental state after working at the Arizona center for roughly a year. "My mental health - it's just so up and down. One day I can be really happy, and doing really good. The next day, I'm more or less of a zombie. It's not that I'm depressed. I'm just stuck."
One moderator refutes these allegations. The majority of the content is benign, Brad, who holds the title of policy manager, told a reporter. "Most of the stuff we see is mild, very mild. It's people going on rants," he said. "It's people reporting photos or videos simply because they don't want to see it - not because there's any issue with the content. That's really the majority of the stuff that we see."
This is not the first time a Facebook moderator has complained about the dredge work. One former employee named Selena Scola filed a lawsuit against the Silicon Valley giant in December 2018, alleging that her job gave her PTSD - a claim her lawyers are using to seek a chain reaction that leads to a class-action lawsuit.
Facebook uses more than 7,500 content reviewers worldwide to ensure its content is appropriate, but the company is pursuing Artificial Intelligence options that one day could replace human workers, reported Fox News. Facebook acknowledged that there are sometimes times when employees will be unsatisfied.
"We are taking steps to be extremely transparent about the expectations we have of our partners," a company spokeswoman told The Daily Caller News Foundation.

Tech Billionaire Allegedly Behind A False Flag Operation Played A Role In Creating Fake News Software, Nonprofit Confirms
Reid Hoffman, a billionaire who was allegedly involved in a false information campaign in Alabama, played a crucial role in developing software capable of creating "deepfake" news articles, sources confirmed.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk suggests he distanced himself from OpenAI in 2018 after disagreements about the direction researchers were taking the group.
One of the big tech billionaires responsible for financing a project creating "deepfake" news articles is a prominent Hillary Clinton supporter and Democratic donor.
The liberal billionaire who allegedly backed a misinformation campaign during the midterm elections played a significant role in funding a group responsible for creating a controversial fake news project.
Reid Hoffman greatly increased his financial contributions to Artificial Intelligence research group OpenAI, The Daily Caller News Foundation has learned. The group recently developed software allowing people with the know-how to craft so-called "deepfake" news articles, The Guardian reported.
"OpenAI has lots of co-founders, by the way, with most involved ones being our CTO Greg Brockman and Chief Scientist Ilya Sutskever," Jack Clark, the nonprofit's head of policy, told TheDCNF, referring to OpenAI executives Greg Brockman and Ilya Sutskever.
Clark confirmed the LinkedIn founder stepped up his funding in 2018.
News of Hoffman's role in the project comes at a strange time for both OpenAI and the tech guru. The wealthy Democratic donor became embroiled in controversy after The New York Times and other outlets reported in December 2018 and January about his role in a false flag operation in Alabama. Hoffman, for his part, apologized for his role in the effort to troll voters.

"Bee colonies-inspired tool to help dismantle terrorist cells, criminal social networks"
Published 18 April 2017
Researchers have designed an algorithm, inspired by the intelligent and social behavior of bee colonies, which allows law enforcement to attack and dismantle any type of social network that poses a threat, whether physical or virtual, such as social networks linked to organized crime and jihadist terrorism. The possible applications of this new bio-inspired algorithm, which helps to make optimal decisions in order to dismantle any type of social network, are many and varied: from dismantling a criminal network to facilitating the design of vaccination strategies capable of containing the spread of a pandemic.
Researchers from the University of Granada (UGR) have designed an algorithm, inspired by the intelligent and social behavior of bee colonies, which allows law enforcement to attack and dismantle any type of social network that poses a threat, whether physical or virtual, such as social networks linked to organized crime and jihadist terrorism.
The possible applications of this new bio-inspired algorithm, which helps to make optimal decisions in order to dismantle any type of social network, are many and varied: from dismantling a criminal network to facilitating the design of vaccination strategies capable of containing the spread of a pandemic.
UGR notes that the tool designed by the UGR researchers automatically detects and identifies the most dangerous actors or nodes within a given social network and the density of the interconnected relationships between them, which may help law enforcement authorities make their decisions and act in the most efficient way possible.
As explained by one of the authors of this paper, Manuel Lozano Márquez, from the Department of Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence at the UGR, "Bees form fairly well organized societies, in which each member has a specific role. There are three main types: scout bees, which are looking for food sources; worker bees, who collect food; and supervisor bees, who wait in the colony."
Data exchange and communication processes are established between those three roles, which makes the overall performance of the colony very profitable. The UGR scientists have simulated this behavior using in silico bees in order to find effective and efficient strategies to dismantle networks. The results of the experiments indicate that the proposed technique significantly improves, from a statistical point of view, the classic strategy used for attacking and dismantling social networks.
Social networks
Many complex interaction systems linked to nature and related to mankind are structured in a complex network - that is, they are made up of a series of interrelated actors. Social networks are a very recent example of this. Some networks are pernicious because of their potential to cause harm to people, critical
infrastructures and economic interests.
The classic (and also the most natural and intuitive) method for dismantling a network is to identify its main actors and take action on them. However, this strategy does not ensure that the resulting network is totally devoid of organizational and reconstructive power, and it may continue to cause harm.
"In order to find the most effective way of dismantling a network, it is necessary to develop and put into action an optimization process that analyzes a multitude of situations and selects the best option in the shortest time possible. It's similar to what a chess program does when identifying, predicting and checking the possible steps or paths that may occur in a game of chess from a given moment and movement," says Humberto Trujillo Mendoza from the Department of Methodology of Behavioral Sciences at the UGR and one of the authors of the paper.
As the authors explain, "The subtlety with which groups or colonies of relatively simple living beings (ants, termites, bees, etc.) are able to solve vital problems to survive is a proof of the effectiveness of evolution." By means of certain interrelationships among the members of a colony, a collective behavior emerges from that colony, and it allows them to efficiently react to problematic environmental situations. That task, applied by the UGR to the field of Artificial Intelligence, would be impossible to carry out by individual members of the colony.

He Committed Murder. Then He Graduated From an Elite Law School. Would You Hire Him as Your Attorney?
Last September, a group of academics and activists gathered at Princeton University to discuss the limits of Artificial Intelligence in public policy.
The longest debate concerned some of the most sensitive decisions in the justice system, like whether to release a person on bail or parole. Many in attendance were queasy about using algorithms to determine prison stays - not least because crime data tends to reflect racial bias. But one conference goer in particular stood out for his skepticism.
His name was Bruce Reilly. The deputy director of a New Orleans organization called VOTE, which advocates for the formerly incarcerated, Mr. Reilly is a minor celebrity in the field. He was a sounding board for the leader of the recent Florida ballot campaign that restored voting rights to up to 1.4 million former felons, and helped lead similar initiatives in Rhode Island and Louisiana.
Mr. Reilly, 45, has playful eyes, weathered skin and a boyish voice, and at Princeton, he wore a dark blazer that did not appear to be his natural uniform. Though it was barely midmorning, his shirt was already threatening to decamp from his pants as he turned to address a Princeton postdoctoral researcher sitting next to him.
"Statistically," Mr. Reilly told her, "the safest person to let out of prison is a murderer." The academic, Madelyn Sanfilippo, screwed up her face in apparent disbelief.
"You seem like a person who cares about statistics," Mr. Reilly continued, arguing that people convicted of lesser crimes often cycle in and out of prison, while someone serving a long sentence for murder has typically matured out of crime by the time he is released.
"That makes sense," Ms. Sanfilippo said, warming to the claim.
They talked amiably for a few more minutes. When they were done, Mr. Reilly turned and whispered in my ear: "She has no idea."

Microsoft : workers demand it drop $480 million U.S. Army contract
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Some Microsoft Corp employees on Friday demanded that the company cancel a $480 million hardware contract to supply the U.S. Army, with 94 workers signing a petition calling on the company to stop developing "any and all weapons technologies."
The organizing effort, described to Reuters by three Microsoft workers, offers the latest example in the last year of tech employees protesting cooperation with governments on emerging technologies.
Microsoft won a contract in November to supply the Army with at least 2,500 prototypes of augmented reality headsets, which digitally display contextual information in front of a user's eyes. The government has said the devices would be used on the battlefield and in training to improve soldiers "lethality, mobility and situational awareness."
In the petition to Microsoft executives, posted on Twitter, the workers said they "did not sign up to develop weapons, and we demand a say in how our work is used." They called on the company to develop "a public-facing acceptable use policy" for its technology and an external review board to publicly enforce it.
Microsoft said in a statement that it always appreciates employee feedback. It also referred to an October blog post by its president, Brad Smith, in which he said the company remained committed to assisting the military and would advocate for laws to ensure responsible use of new technologies.
The U.S. Army did not provide immediate comment.
Shares of Microsoft fell 7 cents to $110.90 after hours on Friday.
Though many governments want to draw upon the expertise of the biggest U.S. tech companies, employee resistance has added a new challenge to already complicated relationships.
Worker pushback led Alphabet Inc last year to announce it would not renew a Pentagon contract in which its Artificial Intelligence technology is used to analyze drone imagery.
In other cases, employee criticism has invited greater public scrutiny to deals, such as $10 billion cloud computing contract yet to be awarded and various contracts with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Microsoft staff protest over Pentagon contract for augmented reality tech 'designed to kill people'
Dozens of Microsoft employees have demanded the company pull out of a contract with the US military to provide augmented reality technology, stating that they refuse to be complicit in "warfare and oppression."
Microsoft workers released a letter on Friday addressed to CEO Satya Nadella and President Brad Smith, in which they voiced opposition to the $479 million contract that aims to equip the US Army with up to 100,000 augmented reality headsets to be used in combat and for training. The Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS) will be based on a preexisting Microsoft technology called HoloLens. Released in March 2016, HoloLens is capable of interposing digital images on whatever its wearer sees.
Signed by more than 50 employees, the letter states that the IVAS contract marks the first time that Microsoft has "crossed the line into weapons development."
"The application of HoloLens within the IVAS system is designed to help people kill," they wrote. "It will be deployed on the battlefield, and works by turning warfare into a simulated 'video game,' further distancing soldiers from the grim stakes of war and the reality of bloodshed."
The employees said that they "did not sign up to develop weapons," and demanded more control over "how our work is used."
Microsoft acknowledged the petition - but insisted that the company has always been transparent and open to feedback from its workers.
"We always appreciate feedback from employees and provide many avenues for their voices to be heard," a Microsoft spokesperson said in a statement responding to the petition. "In fact, we heard from many employees throughout the fall. As we said then, we're committed to providing our technology to the US Department of Defense, which includes the US Army under this contract."
The statement promised that Microsoft, as an "active corporate citizen," would remain engaged in "the important ethical and public policy issues" surrounding Artificial Intelligence and the military.
Workers at America's tech giants have increasingly spoken out against their companies' business dealings with Intelligence agencies and the Pentagon. Firms such as Apple, Google and Amazon have all faced scrutiny from employees and the public alike for their shady dealings with the US government.
In June, Google backed out of a contract with the Pentagon after facing internal dissent from angry workers. The tech giant had been enlisted to provide the US military with an advanced AI that would improve the targeting capabilities of weaponized drones.
Microsoft, however, seems to be sticking to its Pentagon-friendly guns. In December, the company's president said that Microsoft would "provide the US military with access to the best technology… all the technology we create. Full stop." He added that he wanted "Silicon Valley to know just how ethical and honorable a tradition the military has."

The popular narrative around Artificial Intelligence research is that it's mainly a war between China and the United States. Not so fast, says Europe.
New data released today (Dec. 12) by the AI Index, a project to track the advancement of Artificial Intelligence, shows a trend of Europe releasing more papers than either the US or China. The data was assembled from Scopus, a citation database owned by scientific publishing company Elsevier.
If the current trend continues, China will soon overtake Europe in the number of papers published. The number of papers out of China grew 17% in 2017, compared to a 13% increase in the US, and 8% in Europe.

For all the money AI has made for big companies like Google and Facebook, this year companies have woken up to some of the pitfalls of the technology: It can easily become biased, there's no set code of ethics for the technology, and putting research into the real world too soon can cost lives.
While much of this catalyzed around Uber's self-driving car fatality, when a research vehicle struck and killed a pedestrian in March, research showing racial and gender disparities in facial recognition, as well as reports highlighting the potential misuses of Artificial Intelligence have also brought new attention to the issues.
Here are a few of the key events in 2018 highlighting the problems with modern AI:

Microsoft workers demand it drop $480 million U.S. Army contract
"Worker pushback led Alphabet Inc last year to announce it would not renew a Pentagon contract in which its Artificial Intelligence technology is used to analyze drone imagery.
In other cases, employee criticism has invited greater public scrutiny to deals, such as $10 billion cloud computing contract yet to be awarded and various contracts with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. "

Anon theory based on Q's most recent spord
Q wants to communicate to true patriots in a manner which is inscrutable to Artificial Intelligence (and other advanced methods of parsing massive amounts of data for specific threads of communication). He is teaching us how to communicate with his team, saying over and over things like "learn our comms," and "you have more than you know," and pointing us to the keystone concept (which, after months, we never figured out until he outright told us what he meant), etc.
Q team came to the autists because we're better at this kind of cryptic communication than normies, but even we need to learn how to do it at his advanced, military-grade level. Perhaps they all talk to each other like this already? In other words, he needs to be able to reliably say something like BABY-ON-FLOOR-HANDS-IN-MOUTH-THE-START and we get what he's saying, while AI resources are left scrambling in the wind trying to figure out what we're saying.
To do this, I think he's building a completely unique channel of communication, not relying on any existing codes, because it has to be unique between the K[Y]S, if you catch my drift. Possibly, we must be able to have robust communication in the face of heavier and more creative attacks than we've previously seen. (Of course, he's also building a whole new normie-News organization to eventually replace the fayling emm ess emm, and he's doing lots of other things, but I'm here focused on the channel of communication that he's been cultivating with the autists on this board from the beginning.)
I actually noticed he was doing this first long ago, didn't know how to respond, and lazily assumed other anons were picking up on it, ones much smarter than me, then forgot it. But today's drops reminded me. I've seen glimpses of this happening from time to time, but I think ErnieTheBing (i.e. Q, aren't we beyond explaining everything yet?) wants us to go to a whole level we haven't even gotten to yet.
It has to be organic, or else he could've chosen a few of us and trained us long ago. And it has to be done out in the open, where everyone can see it, to preserve the anonymous protections. I'm sure others can find other attributes to flesh out this theory, so I'll leave that as exercise to readers. So, guise, let's go beyond the rotunda of kek we've cultivated and take up the BIG dropped glove he's thrown down. I'm not sure how to proceed beyond saying this here, but clearly he's confident we can do this, so I will quietly begin working in this direction going forward, and hope others get it better than I do.
Yes, while we're doing this, we need to leave crumbs for the normies, in fact huge amounts of crumbs, because they are hungry, but we need to create a way to communicate with Q that cannot be hacked by shills, AI, or even really smart bad clowns, who, in general, lack things like the earnest sincerity and hope we bring to the game.
Thought I would be all awesome in explaining this when I started writing, hopefully enough of you get the point with this.
Even if I'm right, Q probably won't confirm openly, so this will be a shot in the dark at first. I sprinkled a few normie-level cryptos into this message to convey the idea, but we can do better over time. Let's see what happens.

Digging on possible connections between Google and surveillance tech in China.
Note there were several Q posts linking Feinstein, Google, and China - specifically Shenzhen.
A data leak discovered by a Dutch internet expert has revealed over 2.5 million people who are under active surveillance by a Chinese government contractor.
The leaked data also showed about 6.7 million location data points linked to the people which were gathered within 24 hours, tagged with descriptions such as "mosque", "hotel," "internet cafe" and other places where surveillance cameras were likely to be found.
An exposed database maintained by Shenzhen-based facial-recognition technology company SenseNets Technology revealed ID card numbers, birth dates and location data which went.unprotected for months.

DARPA Thinks AI Could Help Troops Telepathically Control Machines
he Pentagon's research office is exploring how Artificial Intelligence can improve technologies that link troops' brains and bodies to military systems.
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency recently began recruiting teams to research how AI tools could augment and enhance "next-generation neurotechnology." Through the program, officials ultimately aim to build AI into neural interfaces, a technology that lets people control, feel and interact with remote machines as though they were a part of their own body.
Impossible as they may sound, neural interfaces have already been used to allow people to control prosthetic limbs, translate thoughts into text, and telepathically fly drones. Through the Intelligent Neural Interfaces program, DARPA will explore how AIcan make these systems more durable, efficient and effective.
One of the biggest issues researchers face when developing neural interfaces is keeping the tech homed in on the right part of the brain. Our brains are constantly gaining and losing neurons, so the machines often need to be recalibrated as neural connections change.
But through Artificial Intelligence, researchers could train the interface to automatically pick up on these changes and recalibrate itself accordingly, DARPA wrote in the solicitation. Under the program's first track, teams would build algorithms that adjust the interface when neurons are lost or added, as well as if there's any interference between the system and the brain

Apple faces exposure, public backlash, and a loss of market share. Apple will be exposed more so for its illegal, unethical, and toxic manufacturing practices. This will create a worldwide awakening against the big corporation and cause a substantial loss of market share. This thread will cover the problems Apple faces in-depth, and use a SWOT Analysis to conclude the findings.
Apple Face ID, Artificial Intelligence, and surveillance which tracks everything you do, say, think, monitors your location, and sells your data to foreign countries and other big corporations–sounds like a utopia, right? Apple is involved in high-level treason against the USA, and more importantly, mankind. In a Bloomberg article, "The Big Hack: How China Used a Tiny Chip to Infiltrate U.S. Companies" by Jordan Robertson & Michael Riley, Apple is exposed as being part of the most significant supply chain attack in history. Unlike what usually happens to big corporations just paying a small fine and no one facing jail time, the American company and Chinese government will be held accountable. The main points of the article:
"In 2015, Amazon.com Inc. began quietly evaluating a startup called Elemental Technologies, a potential acquisition to help with a major expansion of its streaming video service, known today as Amazon Prime Video…Elemental's national security contracts weren't the main reason for the proposed acquisition, but they fit nicely with Amazon's government businesses, such as the highly secure cloud that Amazon Web Services (AWS) was building for the CIA."
"Elemental's servers could be found in Department of Defense data centers, the CIA's drone operations, and the onboard networks of Navy warships."
"Multiple people familiar with the matter say investigators found that the chips had been inserted at factories run by manufacturing subcontractors in China."
"One official says investigators found that it eventually affected almost 30 companies, including a major bank, government contractors, and the world's most valuable company, Apple Inc."
"One country in particular has an advantage executing this kind of attack: China, which by some estimates makes 75 percent of the world's mobile phones and 90 percent of its PCs."
"But that's just what U.S. investigators found: The chips had been inserted during the manufacturing process, two officials say, by operatives from a unit of the People's Liberation Army. In Supermicro, China's spies appear to have found a perfect conduit for what U.S. officials now describe as the most significant supply chain attack known to have been carried out against American companies."
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2018-10-04/the-big-hack-how-china-used-a-tiny-chip-to-infiltrate-america-s-top-companies
Imagine what a foreign country could do to its enemies by actually manufacturing the tech used in their drones and naval warships. Think of a killswitch. Are you awake yet? Who would've thought with all the media hysteria about Russia and its criminal organizations, which…shocker…every country has some form of criminal enterprise, that China would be carrying out this attack? Now let's look at this situation from a business perspective.
These chips could also be placed in the smart, advanced, iPhones. They could be used, if they haven't already, to track your location, what you purchase, and sell the data, which is okay with some people, but why would you want a foreign country using this data to exploit you? It wouldn't be okay if Russia were doing this, so why should it be okay for China to be colluding with a trusted, reputable, American company in order to obtain this data? In the Marketing Strategy text, this is clearly not some mere, conspiracy theory, and it has already been somewhat addressed by the US Government outlined as such:
"In 2011 Apple and Google disclosed that certain features of their cell phones collect data on the phones' locations. Consumers and government officials saw this as an infringement on user privacy. The companies announced that users have the option to disable these features on their phones. However, this was not entirely true for Apple as some of its phones continued to collect location information even after users had disabled the feature. Apple attributed this to a glitch that it remedied with new software."

Q Research General #6681: Sleep Is Important Edition
Deep Beijing Surveillance Network Revealed as China Network Exposed
Chinese surveillance firm SenseNets is closely monitoring the movements of an estimated 2.5 million people in Xinjiang - an autonomous territory in northwest China - according to a massive data leak on the Beijing group's servers that was identified by the Dutch nonprofit organization GDI Foundation.
According to Victor Gevers, co-founder of GDI Foundation, the Beijing firm SenseNets Technology has "highly detailed and highly sensitive information" on millions of residents in China's Xinjiang which was laid open for anyone with the proper URL.
The breached data included residents' names, ID card numbers, addresses, dates of birth, employers, as well as a list of GPS coordinates updating in real time. The GPS data points were also marked with descriptions such as "mosque," "hotel" or "internet cafe."
"It was fully open and anyone without authentication had full administrative rights. You could go in the database and create, read, update and delete anything," Gevers - whose GDI group aims to "detect & analyze high risk 'criminal' opportunities, share the risk and vulnerabilities with everybody, inform the ones who are at risk and give free advice about a solution," said, cited by the South China Morning Post (SCMP).
According to Gevers, he quickly informed SenseNets of its vulnerability. Although the technology firm did not respond directly to him, they have since taken steps to protect their data, according to SCMP.
China has faced backlash from foreign governments and activists over the country's detention and surveillance of millions of its Muslim Uyghur minority. The Uyghurs, a Turkic ethnic group concentrated in the country's northwest, mainly in Xinjiang province, have an estimated population of about 10 million, although some estimates suggest that number is too low.
In recent years, Beijing has expanded its mass surveillance network, claiming to use Artificial Intelligence, facial recognition and massive data collection as a means to reduce crime rates in the countryside, an area the government claims is short of security forces.
In December 2018, a bathroom in the Baotu Spring Park in Jinan, the capital of China's Shandong province, saw the installation of facial-recognition technology in a toilet paper dispenser to cut down on theft and waste, Sputnik previously reported.

Trilateral Commissioner George Shultz Speaks On Emerging New World Order
Original Trilateral Commission member George P. Schulz is 98 years old, but is still talking about the New World Order with the same old talking points as from 45 years ago. Fellow TC member Henry Kissinger is 95 and Jimmy Carter is 94. ? TN Editor
George Shultz has observed that the world ahead will not be like the world behind us. His Project on Governance in an Emerging New World explores the challenge to governance posed by changing demographics, the information and communications revolution, emerging technologies, and new means of production of goods near where they are used. Its contributors aim to understand the impact of these global transformations on our democracy, our economy, and our national security and inform strategies for how best to proceed in a rapidly changing world.
New and rapid societal and technological changes are complicating governance around the globe and challenging traditional thinking. Demographic changes and migration are having a profound effect as some populations age and shrink while other countries expand. The information and communications revolution is making governance much more difficult and heightening the impact of diversity. Emerging technologies, especially Artificial Intelligence and automation, are bringing about a new industrial revolution, disrupting workforces and increasing military capabilities of both states and non-state actors. And new means of production such as additive manufacturing and automation are changing how, where, and what we produce. These changes are coming quickly, faster than governments have historically been able to respond.
Led by Hoover Distinguished Fellow George P. Shultz, his Project on Governance in an Emerging New World aims to understand these changes and inform strategies that both address the challenges and take advantage of the opportunities afforded by these dramatic shifts.
The project will feature a series of papers and events addressing how these changes are affecting democratic processes, the economy, and national security of the United States, and how they are affecting countries and regions, including Russia, China, Europe, Africa, and Latin America. A set of essays by the participants will accompany each event and provide thoughtful analysis of the challenges and opportunities.

Inside the world of India's cyborg artists
In October 2018, New York-based Christie's sold Edmond de Belamy, from La Famille de Belamy, a AI-created portrait for $432,500. The piece was created by an art collective called Obvious using code uploaded by a 19-year old programmer Robbie Barrat on Github and training data scraped from WikiArt.
Their thesis, published in the August 2018 edition of art journal Critical Collective, takes issue with art's obsession with the past and proposes that artists must find ways of co-creating the future, "like the Soviet modernists of the pre-Stalin era who collectively dreamed of the future".

An AI helped us write this article
An impressive new language AI writes product reviews and news articles. Its creators are worried about misuse.
One of the coolest AI systems I've ever seen may also be the one that will kick me out of my job.
Earlier this week, I attended a demo with a research team at OpenAI, the San Francisco nonprofit that's right up there with top tech companies in conducting impressive new research on the frontiers of AI. The system they showed me was a language-learning model that writes the news, answers reading comprehension problems, and is beginning to show promise at tasks like translation.
In a paper released Thursday, the OpenAI team demonstrates that we can get those results from an "unsupervised" AI - meaning the system learned from reading 8 million internet articles, not from being explicitly trained for the tasks. Their AI advances the state of the art - in some cases, by a lot…..
Is the era of fake news about to get even worse?
The team at OpenAI is making the unusual choice not to release their system publicly for everyone to interact with. That's too bad - take it from me, it's incredibly fun to try out - but they have a very good reason.
OpenAI has been active in trying to figure out how to limit the potential for misuse of AI, and they've concluded that in some cases, the right solution is limiting what they publish.
With a tool like this, for example, it'd be easy to spoof Amazon reviews and pump out fake news articles in a fraction of the time a human would need. A slightly more sophisticated version might be good enough to let students generate plagiarized essays and spammers improve their messaging to targets.
"I'm worried about trolly 4chan actors generating arbitrarily large amounts of garbage opinion content that's sexist and racist," OpenAI policy director Jack Clark told me. He also worries about "actors who do stuff like disinformation, who are more sophisticated," and points out that there might be other avenues for misuse we haven't yet thought of. So they're keeping the tool offline, at least for now, while everyone can weigh in on how to use AIs like these safely……..

Q Research General #6617: Do It POTUS Edition
George Soros Declares Cold War on China
Global elitist turns against China (and asks America for help)
It was, by any measure, an extraordinary performance. George Soros, doyen of the global elites, declared on Jan. 24 at Davos that the People's Republic of China is the chief threat to free societies around the world. In fact, the eccentric billionaire put the matter even more strongly, saying he wanted to "warn the world about an unprecedented danger that's threatening the very survival of open societies." This "mortal danger," he went on to say, arises from "the instruments of control that machine learning and Artificial Intelligence can put in the hands of repressive regimes [like] China, where Xi Jinping wants a one-party state to reign supreme." Sounding for all the world like he was channeling Ronald Reagan, Soros warned that China, through the use of such technology, was well on the way to becoming "totalitarian." I imagine that his audience emitted a collective gasp at hearing that particular word. Progressives of all stripes have long scoffed that no state can be truly totalitarian-in the sense of totally controlling their populations. And here was George Soros, one of their own, using a term which is not only politically incorrect, but virtually banned among their company.
What has shocked Soros into describing China as totalitarian and a threat to the world? He has, it seems, come to learn about that country's nascent "social credit system." The social credit system is China's plan to constantly monitor the electronic behavior of everyone in the country. Their texts, tweets and posts, their comings and goings, their reading habits and their friends, will all be fed into a centralized database where a computer algorithm will assign them a "social credit score" that will reflect their degree of political reliability. Those with high scores will receive preferential treatment by the state in education, jobs, travel, and credit. Those with low social credit scores will be denied those same benefits. Most terrifyingly, those whose scores fall too low will be judged a threat to the one-party state. They will be preemptively arrested and sent to re-education camps that already hold millions.
George Orwell's nightmare society of constant surveillance is well on the way to becoming the day-to-day lived reality of the Chinese people. Soros is right in characterizing this as "frightening and abhorrent." While acknowledging that China isn't the only authoritarian regime in the world, Soros singled it out because "it's undoubtedly the wealthiest, strongest and most developed in machine learning and Artificial Intelligence."
So what does Soros advocate doing in response, besides "recognizing the [China] threat?" Here is where he must have stunned his audience again. Soros praises the Trump administration for "identif[ying] China as a 'strategic rival'... [as] outlined in a seminal speech by Vice President Mike Pence on October 4th." Of course, no bona fide member of the global elite-not even a George Soros-can afford to be seen praising the policies of "America Firster" Donald Trump. So he credits the new policy to "Asian affairs advisor of the National Security Council, Matt Pottinger." Trump himself he disses as "notoriously unpredictable. Now I am sure that Mr. Pottinger, whom I respect, made important contributions to America's new China policy. But everyone-except, apparently, George Soros-knows that Donald Trump has been sounding the alarm about China's unfair trade practices, currency manipulation, and theft of intellectual property for over two decades.
In other words, America's tough new policy towards China owes its very existence to Trump's leadership, whether Soros wants to admit it or not. And he clearly doesn't. In fact, he goes on to bizarrely accuse Trump of violating his own policy: "President Trump seems to be following a different course," says Soros, "making concessions to China and declaring victory while renewing his attacks on U.S. allies."
Does Soros regard Trump's tariffs on $250 billion of Chinese goods, his sanctions on Chinese companies, or his arrest of Huawei "princess" Meng Wanzhou, as concessions? I doubt that Chinese leader Xi Jinping views them that way. This is a perfect example of Trump Derangement Syndrome. The global elites hate Trump so much that they won't give him credit even when they agree with his policies.

Q Research General #6614: Memes Are Important Edition
Hillary, soros and deep state blaming ai?
In 2015, car-and-rocket man Elon Musk joined with influential startup backer Sam Altman to put Artificial Intelligence on a new, more open course. They cofounded a research institute called OpenAI to make new AI discoveries and give them away for the common good. Now, the institute's researchers are sufficiently worried by something they built that they won't release it to the public.
The AI system that gave its creators pause was designed to learn the patterns of language. It does that very well-scoring better on some reading-comprehension tests than any other automated system. But when OpenAI's researchers configured the system to generate text, they began to think about their achievement differently.
"It looks pretty darn real," says David Luan, vice president of engineering at OpenAI, of the text the system generates. He and his fellow researchers began to imagine how it might be used for unfriendly purposes. "It could be that someone who has malicious intent would be able to generate high-quality fake news," Luan says.
That concern prompted OpenAI to publish a research paper on its results, but not release the full model or the 8 million web pages it used to train the system. Previously, the institute has often disseminated full code with its publications, including an earlier version of the language project from last summer.
OpenAI's hesitation comes amid growing concern about the ethical implications of progress in AI, including from tech companies and lawmakers.
Google, too, has decided that it's no longer appropriate to innocently publish new AI research findings and code. Last month, the search company disclosed in a policy paper on AI that it has put constraints on research software it has shared because of fears of misuse. The company recently joined Microsoft in adding language to its financial filings warning investors that its AI software could raise ethical concerns and harm the business.
OpenAI let WIRED play with its text generator, via a web page that lets you type in text the system uses like a writing prompt. The results could be garbled, but the way the system riffed on prompts such as song lyrics, poems, and phrases like "here is a recipe for yogurt pancakes" confirmed Luan's view that the output can look pretty darn real.
However, it didn't take much to get the system to unspool paragraphs that resembled the work of disinformation artists. When WIRED typed in the phrase "Hillary Clinton and George Soros," OpenAI's system wrote the following:
"…are a perfect match, and their agenda appears to be to create a political movement where Soros and his political machine and Clinton are two of the only major players. This is the first time Soros and Clinton have been caught on tape directly colluding in promoting the same false narrative. One of the key revelations in the leaked audio was Clinton's admission to a Russian banker that she knew about the Uranium One deal before it was approved by Congress. Clinton was shown sharing the same talking points that were originally drafted by a Fusion GPS contractor hired by an anti-Trump Republican donor. The leaked audio is the clearest evidence yet that the Clinton campaign and the Hillary Foundation colluded with Fusion GPS to manufacture propaganda against President Trump."

Pope Francis, Microsoft Chief Discuss Prospects of AI Development - Holy See
Pope Francis received Microsoft's president Brad Smith in the Vatican City and discussed prospects of the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies with the official, Alessandro Gisotti, the spokesman of The Holy See, has said.
During the meeting on Wednesday, Smith emphasized that AI should be used for the well-being of society. Moreover, Microsoft's chief spoke about some ways to overcome a global gap in the development of digital technologies.
Smith was accompanied by Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia, the president of the Pontifical Academy for Life, during his visit to Vatican City. Smith and Paglia told Pope Francis that Microsoft together with the academy planned to establish an international prize on AI ethics.
The Pontifical Academy for Life is actively engaged in public discussions on issues dedicated to AI. On 25-26 February, the academy will hold a workshop dubbed Roboethics: Humans, Machines and Health. In addition, it plans to carry out another workshop focused on the development of AI in 2020. Sputnik has learned that Smith has agreed to attend the meeting.
On Monday, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing federal agencies involved in research and development to prioritize AI in upcoming funding requests for fiscal 2020 to help protect US leadership in the next technology frontier.

Pope discusses ethics of Artificial Intelligence with Microsoft chief
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Microsoft President Brad Smith met Pope Francis on Wednesday to discuss the ethical use of Artificial Intelligence and ways to bridge the digital divide between rich and poor nations, the Vatican said.
The head of the global tech giant and the 81-year-old Roman Catholic leader, who once said he is a "disaster" when it comes to technology, spoke for about 30 minutes in the pontiff's residence.
The pair discussed "Artificial Intelligence at the service of the common good and activities aimed at bridging the digital divide that still persists at the global level", according to a statement.
Smith, 60, told the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano in an interview that "strong ethical and new, evolved laws" were needed so that technological advances such as Artificial Intelligence do not fall into the wrong hands.
The Vatican said its Academy for Life would jointly sponsor a prize with Microsoft for the best doctoral dissertation in 2019 on the theme of "Artificial Intelligence at the service of human life".

Pricing algorithms can learn to collude with each other to raise prices
If you recall, reinforcement learning is a subset of machine learning that uses penalties and rewards to incentivize an AI agent toward a specific goal. AlphaGo famously used it to beat the best human players at the ancient board game Go. Within a pricing context, these systems are given a goal such as to maximize overall profit; then they experiment with different strategies in a simulated environment to find the optimal one. A new paper now suggests that these systems could pose a huge problem: they quickly learn to collude.

Customer loyalty rewards programs used to convince the public to accept 9,000 private license plate readers
The die has been cast, whether it is digital drivers licenses, digital license plates, license plate readers or facial recognition cameras. Everyone from private corporations to law enforcement follows the same script; offer Americans customer loyalty rewards programs in exchange for the loss of their privacy.
Surveillance politics and law enforcement regularly tout license plate readers as a necessary extension of public safety at the expense of our privacy. But now things have gotten out of control as a recent Quartz headline warned "In just two years, 9,000 of these cameras (ALPR) were installed to spy on your car."
A Massachusetts company called Novume which recently acquired Open ALPR Technology Inc. boasts that their free software is being used by private corporations and governments in more than 9,000 private license plate readers.worldwide.
Novume's press release said, "OpenALPR Technology, Inc., a company that develops software for automatic license plate and vehicle recognition systems, announced that paid contracts for its Artificial Intelligence-based LPR solutions now cover over 9,200 cameras as the company achieved further penetration of the global vehicle recognition system market which is expected to reach $4.25B by 2023. This represents more than a 2,960% increase, from approximately 300 licensed cameras at the end of 2016, the year in which OpenALPR initiated sales."
Quartz's article warned that "anyone who downloads it (Open ALPR) can turn a single web-connected camera into an automatic license plate reader that can monitor traffic across a four-lane highway with 99% accuracy."
Quart'z article also revealed what I have been warning people about for years, malls, towing companies, garbage trucksand more are secretly creating a private database of our daily travels.

YouTube announces it will no longer recommend conspiracy videos
YouTube will no longer recommend videos "claiming the earth is flat, or making blatantly false claims about historic events like 9/11."

By Kalhan Rosenblatt
YouTube has announced that it will no longer recommend videos that "come close to" violating its community guidelines, such as conspiracy or medically inaccurate videos.
On Saturday, a former engineer for Google, YouTube's parent company, hailed the move as a "historic victory."
The original blog post from YouTube, published on Jan. 25, said that videos the site recommends, usually after a user has viewed one video, would no longer lead just to similar videos and instead would "pull in recommendations from a wider set of topics."
For example, if one person watches one video showing the recipe for snickerdoodles, they may be bombarded with suggestions for other cookie recipe videos. Up until the change, the same scenario would apply to conspiracy videos.
YouTube said in the post that the action is meant to "reduce the spread of content that comes close to - but doesn't quite cross the line of - violating" its community policies. The examples the company cited include "promoting a phony miracle cure for a serious illness, claiming the earth is flat, or making blatantly false claims about historic events like 9/11."
The change will not affect the videos' availability. And if users are subscribed to a channel that, for instance, produces conspiracy content, or if they search for it, they will still see related recommendations, the company wrote.
Guillaume Chaslot, a former Google engineer, said that he helped to build the Artificial Intelligence used to curate recommended videos. In a thread of tweets posted on Saturday, he praised the change.
"It's only the beginning of a more humane technology. Technology that empowers all of us, instead of deceiving the most vulnerable," Chaslot wrote.
Chaslot described how, prior to the change, a user watching conspiracy theory videos was led down a rabbit hole of similar content, which was the intention of the AI he said he helped build.
According to Chaslot, the goal of YouTube's AI was to keep users on the site as long as possible in order to promote more advertisements. When a user was enticed by multiple conspiracy videos, the AI not only became biased by the content the hyper-engaged users were watching, it also kept track of the content that those users were engaging with in an attempt to reproduce that pattern with other users, Chaslot explained.
He pointed to a different Artificial Intelligence that was also shaped by the bias of its users: Microsoft's chatbot "Tay."

Tay was a Twitter chatbot produced by Microsoft, which was meant to interact with users like a human and learn from others.
Within 24 hours of its release, Tay went from innocent chatbot to full-blown misogynist and racist, according to The Verge. The AI operating Tay learned from and became biased by the engagement it received from Twitter users who were spamming the bot with those ideologies, according to CNBC.
Chaslot said that YouTube's fix to its recommendations AI will have to include getting people to videos with truthful information and overhauling the current system it uses to recommend videos.
"The AI change will have a huge impact because affected channels have billions of views, overwhelmingly coming from recommendations," Chaslot said, adding that the platform's decision to make this change affect thousands of new users.
YouTube did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Chaslot's thread.

Q Research General #6570: "We are past that now, correct?" Edition
Ex-gov't agent: Crisis worse than 9/11 could come out of AI arms race
The worst part of these dangers is that AI could make such attacks infinitely easier than with even advanced existing cyber hacking capabilities.
Winning the Artificial Intelligence arms (AI) race between the US and Israel and their adversaries may need to take precedent over balancing the tremendous risks at this stage, a former government agency chief technology officer has told the Jerusalem Post.
Those risks could include crises even worse than 9/11, said Amit Meltzer, now a top cyber security consultant.
Discussing the issue with The Jerusalem Post on Tuesday merely a day after US President Donald Trump issued a first-ever US executive order to bolster US efforts in the AI arms race, he said that winning such a competition often did not go well with careful oversight of negative consequences and potential abuses.
For example, while US Senate Vice Intelligence Committee Chairman Mark Warner (D-VA) applauded aspects of the order, he criticized its lack of developing oversight for misuse of AI.
Warner supported the order's provisions for opening US federal data-sets to non-federal entities to enhance cooperation, but he said Trump's order "reflects a laissez-faire approach to AI development that I worry will have the US repeating the mistakes it has made in treating digital technologies as inherently positive forces, with insufficient consideration paid to their misapplication."
Meltzer called Trump's declaration more symbolic than concretely operational, but said that it still was crucial "to give strong backing to academic and government institutions...which suffer from a chronic lack of personnel" and resources.
He agreed with Warner's criticism that Trump's order did not address the downsides of AI and that it was overly general and would have been stronger if it had more specific plans, goals and allotted budgets.
Furthermore, the former government agent said that concerns that certain companies would quickly gain domination of the AI sector and abuse their standing economically and otherwise were real.
But he said that it was nearly impossible to square "the national necessity for the US" or Israel to "strengthen and maintain leadership in the industry" with policies that encouraged caution and only rolling out new technologies after all dangers were carefully thought through.
He analogized the need to act with large brush strokes in the field of AI in order to keep up, to the US's sales of weapons to essentially any dictatorship that is not in a direct fight with it in order to make weapons' development economically sustainable.
However, Meltzer said that neither Trump nor Warner honed-in on the true potential dangers of AI.

Q Research General #6551: Message Must Be Direct Edition
Trump Issues Order to Lay Out National Strategy on Artificial Intelligence
President Donald Trump has issued an executive order that outlines the federal government's priorities for handling Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies.
The order promises more tax dollars for AI research and development (R&D) and more access to federal data sets for AI testing. It also calls for establishing a regulatory framework and technical standards for AI and for protecting American AI from acquisition by competitors and adversaries. Further, it asks NASA, the Defense Department, and other agencies to dedicate more of their supercomputer resources to AI and asks federal agencies to promote education in the AI field.
"By driving technological breakthroughs in AI, breaking barriers to AI innovation, preparing our workforce for the jobs of the future, and protecting America's advantage in AI we are ensuring that AI technologies continue to improve the lives of our people, create jobs, reflect our Nation's values, and keep Americans safe at home and abroad," the White House said in a Feb. 11 release.
"Continued American leadership in Artificial Intelligence is of paramount importance to maintaining the economic and national security of the United States," Trump said in the release.
Research and Development
Based on the order, federal agencies that conduct or fund R&D should prioritize AI R&D. That not only includes shifting the focus in 2019, but also encourages the agencies to prioritize AI work in their 2020 budget proposals. Agencies will also be required to track how much they spend on AI work. They should also partner with non-federal and private sector players, including "foreign partners and allies, so all collaborators can benefit from each other's investment and expertise in AI R&D," the order states.
Agencies should review their data and models to see where they can increase access to AI researchers and developers "while protecting safety, security, privacy, and confidentiality." The agencies should also use feedback from the AI R&D community and the public to improve access "and quality of AI data and models."
The order requires the secretaries of Defense, Commerce, Health and Human Services, and Energy; NASA; and the director of the National Science Foundation to "prioritize the allocation of high-performance computing resources for AI-related applications."

Q Research General #6542: Loosen Up And Have Some Fun! Edition
WHITE HOUSE RETWEET
In 1964, concerns about increasing automation led the federal government to establish the National Commission on Technology, Automation, and Economic Progress. The commission was tasked with studying the impact of technological and economic change. Even more than half a century ago, leaders foresaw a world where technology could lead to a new era of economic prosperity-but only if we met the challenge head on.
Our predecessors did just that, and today we recognize the second half of the 20th century as a time of great innovation. No advance has captured our imagination more than Artificial Intelligence. As President Trump said in his recent State of the Union Address, we must invest in the industries of the future-and few industries are more important than AI. If we do, we can create autonomous cars, industrial robots, algorithms for disease diagnosis, and more. However, we must act now to ensure this innovation generates excitement, rather than uncertainty.

so this was posted a couple of threads back, but in the current season of an anime called sword art online. the season is called alicization and one of the main characters is called alice
ALICIZATION, ALICE
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sword_Art_Online
https://swordartonline.fandom.com/wiki/Alice_Zuberg
Kazuto is later recruited to assist in testing an experimental FullDive machine, Soul Translator (STL), which has an interface that is far more realistic and complex than the previous machine he had played to help develop an Artificial Intelligence for the Ministry of Defense (MOD) named A.L.I.C.E. He tests the STL by entering a virtual reality cyberspace created with The Seed package, named UnderWorld (UW). In the UW, the flow of time proceeds a thousand times faster than in the real world, and Kirito's memories of what happens inside are restricted. However, Black injures Kazuto with suxamethonium chloride. The MOD recovers Kazuto and places him back into the STL to preserve his mind while attempts are made to save him. Meanwhile, it is revealed that UnderWorld was created as part of an experiment to create Artificial Intelligence that could be used for military purposes.
https://swordartonline.fandom.com/wiki/Soul_Translator
The Soul Translator was constructed for the purpose of being used as a method of creating a highly adaptive Artificial Intelligence (AI) to be used for Project Alicization, under the guise of «Maritime Exploration Development». Unlike previous methods of creating such AI, which relied on the use of existing computer architecture for the AI to accumulate experience via simple questions and answers, the AI that is developed for Project Alicization is based on the structure of a human's brain, in order to create an AI with awareness and the adaptability level of a human. As the STL is capable of scanning, and thus copying, the structure of a human's consciousness, called a «Fluctlight», the machine was successfully used in cloning a human's soul and the creation of an AI with the capabilities of a real human.
According to the «Quantum Brain Dynamics» theory in the Sword Art Online universe, an «Evanescent Photon» - a light particle that acts as a quantum unit of the mind - exists within the microtubules of a nerve cell. The light particle exists in a state of indeterminism[? 1] and fluctuates according to the probability theory. A collection of these particles - a «Quantum Field» which Rath has dubbed a «Fluctuating Light» (abbreviated as «Fluctlight» (???????, Furakutoraito?)) - is what comprises the human consciousness, or the human soul.

Q Research General #6527: Prosecution and Transparency Edition
SO FOR ALL YOU WEEABOOS OUT THERE, FOUND THAT SWORD ART ONLINE HAS A NEW SEASON CALLED ALICIZATION, WHICH CONTAINS A MAIN CHARACTER CALLED ALICE
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sword_Art_Online
In 2022, a virtual reality massively multiplayer online role-playing game (VRMMORPG) called Sword Art Online (SAO) is released. With the NerveGear, a helmet that stimulates the user's five senses via their brain, players can experience and control their in-game characters with their minds. Both the game and the NerveGear were created by Akihiko Kayaba.
On November 6, 10,000 players log into the SAO's mainframe cyberspace for the first time, only to discover that they are unable to log out. Kayaba appears and tells the players that they must beat all 100 floors of Aincrad, a steel castle which is the setting of SAO, if they wish to be free. Those who suffer in-game deaths or forcibly remove the NerveGear out-of-game will suffer real-life deaths.
One of the players, named Kazuto "Kirito" Kirigaya, is one of 1,000 testers in the game's previous closed beta. With the advantage of previous VR gaming experience and a drive to protect other beta testers from discrimination, he isolates himself from the greater groups and plays the game alone, bearing the mantle of "beater", a portmanteau of "beta tester" and "cheater". As the players progress through the game Kirito eventually befriends a young girl named Asuna Yuuki, forming a relationship with and later marrying her in-game. After the duo discover the identity of Kayaba's secret ID, who was playing as the leader of the guild Asuna joined in, they confront and destroy him, freeing themselves and the other players from the game.
In the real world, Kazuto discovers that 300 SAO players, including Asuna, remain trapped in their NerveGear. As he goes to the hospital to see Asuna, he meets Shouzou Yuuki, Asuna's father, who is asked by an associate of his, Nobuyuki Sugou, to make a decision, which Sugou later reveals to be his marriage with Asuna, angering Kazuto. Several months later, he is informed by Agil, another SAO survivor, that a figure similar to Asuna was spotted on "The World Tree" in another VRMMORPG cyberspace called Alfheim Online (ALO). Assisted in-game by his cousin Suguha "Leafa" Kirigaya and Yui, a navigation pixie (originally an AI from SAO), he quickly learns that the trapped players in ALO are part of a plan conceived by Sugou to perform illegal experiments on their minds. The goal is to create the perfect mind-control for financial gain and to subjugate Asuna, whom he intends to marry in the real world, to assume control of her family's corporation. Kirito eventually stops the experiment and rescues the remaining 300 SAO players, foiling Sugou's plans. Before leaving ALO to see Asuna, Kayaba, who has uploaded his mind to the Internet using an experimental and destructively high-power version of NerveGear at the cost of his life, entrusts Kirito with The Seed - a package program designed to create virtual worlds. Kazuto eventually reunites with Asuna in the real world and The Seed is released onto the Internet, reviving Aincrad as other VRMMORPGs begin to thrive.
Soon after, at the prompting of a government official investigating strange occurrences in VR, Kazuto takes on a job to investigate a series of murders involving another VRMMORPG called Gun Gale Online (GGO), the AmuSphere (the successor of the NerveGear), and a player called Death Gun. Aided by a female player named Shino "Sinon" Asada, he participates in a gunfight tournament called the Bullet of Bullets (BoB) and discovers the truth behind the murders, which originated with a player who participated in a player-killing guild in SAO. Through his and Sinon's efforts, two suspects are captured, though the third suspect, Johnny Black, escapes.
Kazuto is later recruited to assist in testing an experimental FullDive machine, Soul Translator (STL), which has an interface that is far more realistic and complex than the previous machine he had played to help develop an Artificial Intelligence for the Ministry of Defense (MOD) named A.L.I.C.E. He tests the STL by entering a virtual reality cyberspace created with The Seed package, named UnderWorld (UW). In the UW, the flow of time proceeds a thousand times faster than in the real world, and Kirito's memories of what happens inside are restricted. However, Black injures Kazuto with suxamethonium chloride. The MOD recovers Kazuto and places him back into the STL to preserve his mind while attempts are made to save him. Meanwhile, it is revealed that UnderWorld was created as part of an experiment to create Artificial Intelligence that could be used for military purposes.

Q Research General #6525: Blockade End Edition
http:// www.etcentric.org/at-davos-a-call-for-worldwide-oversight-of-tech-including-ai/
TechCrunch reports that, at the World Economic Forum, leaders expressed concern "about the potential for Artificial Intelligence to exacerbate huge inequalities across the world," specifically as some countries implement AI systems, leaving behind those that do not. Columbia president Iván Duque Márquez, Salesforce chair/chief executive Marc Benioff and Chinese venture capitalist/AI expert Kai-Fu Lee "backed a new WEF initiative to expand its network of 'Centres for the Fourth Industrial Revolution' [C4IR] to Columbia and other emerging economies."
The WEF created the C4IR as a center for "global, multi-stakeholder cooperation to develop policy frameworks and advance collaborations that accelerate the benefits of science and technology."
"The fourth industrial revolution holds great promise in the creation of new jobs, new ways to cure disease and relieve suffering," said Benioff. "But on the other hand there's a risk that it will worsen our economic, racial, gender and even our environmental inequalities." He noted that, "today, only a few countries and companies have access to the best AI in the world."
"We must ask ourselves, is this the kind of world want to live in?" he concluded.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/22/world/middleeast/trump-glowing-orb-saudi.html
that orb was a symbol of SA's Intelligence and tracking abilities.
SA has the dirt on all of Trumps enemies.
The real meaning of the sphere had little to do with the occult.
The occasion was the opening of a new Global Center for Combating Extremist Ideology, based in Riyadh, and the orb was in fact a translucent globe, with the world's waters represented in light gray and the continents in black. Its purpose appeared to be decorative.
The futuristic look of the darkened room may have helped to fire observers' imaginations.
It was filled with computer terminals. At one end was a wall of monitors displaying feeds from news networks. Employees of the center were segregated by gender, as is common in Saudi Arabia.
The design felt to a pool reporter who was present like a hybrid of a game-show set and a television thriller's idea of a counterterrorism operations control room.
The globe did not appear to have any magical powers, but when the king and Mr. Trump touched it, background music of the kind that might accompany a reality show's elimination sequence or introduce a cable news program soared and pulsed. The screens glowed with statistical displays and videos about fighting terrorism. An unnamed official who narrated the features of the new control center said the displays used Artificial Intelligence to track, in real time, news reports and online statements.
"This groundbreaking new center represents a clear declaration that Muslim-majority countries must take the lead in combating radicalization, and I want to express our gratitude to King Salman for this strong demonstration of leadership," Mr. Trump said in his prepared remarks.

A New York-based company and the Defense Department have created an Artificial Intelligence algorithm to be embedded in smartphones that knows the device owner so well it can tell its user by the way they talk, type and even walk.
TWOSENSE.AI has been working with the department to build a software-as-a-service product to replace the common access card, used to verify defense employees' identities when logging in to the department's networks, the company said in a release issued Thursday.
Using constant monitoring of the user's behavior-including how they walk, carry the device, type and navigate on it and even how they commute to work and spend their free time-and the system will automatically and continuously verify the user's identity, enabling them to seamlessly work on secure networks without having to plug in a card each time.
As the system tracks these metrics, it continuously updates a trust score based on the level of confidence the algorithm has that the correct person is using the device.
The score "is checked to ensure it meets the desired threshold," Jeremy Corey, chief of the Defense Information Systems Agency's Cyber Innovation Division, said at the AFCEA Defense Cyber Operations Symposium in May. "This threshold is predetermined by the organization we are piloting our prototype with. This could be configured by the application owner, so long as it is within the authorizing official's accepted level of risk."
DISA awarded the $2.4 million contract in October through the Army's other transaction authority, which allows certain agencies to sign contracts for advanced research without abiding by the Federal Acquisition Regulation.
"Both DISA and TWOSENSE.AI believe that continuous authentication is the cornerstone of securing identity," said Dr. Dawud Gordon, CEO of TWOSENSE.AI. "Behavior-based authentication is invisible to the user, therefore it can be used continuously without creating any extra work."
Last year, Steve Wallace, a technical director at DISA, told Nextgov the vendor would deliver some 75 prototypes. Once the testing phases are finished, the technology will be embedded in certain smartphones at the manufacturing level before being acquired by the Defense Department, Wallace said.
Wallace declined last year to name the vendor or smartphones being used. However, the announcement Thursday from TWOSENSE.AI notes the project is working through "existing partnerships" between DISA, Qualcomm and Samsung.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology is also working on a similar solution to identity verification for civilian agencies, Nextgov reported in November.

Q Research General #6474: Enjoying The Show Edition
We live in a world controlled by an outside force. This force has hijacked mankind and our natural disposition for good. We have been pre-programmed BY CONSTRUCTS OF SOCIETY into rigid beliefs. 1. in a supernatural power (religion) or 2. Nothing at all. Society pushes us toward nothing at all because it benefits the outside force that has hijacked mankind. This is SPIRITUAL WARFARE that us using the brain-mind to access the soul-mind via your consciousness. Think of this force as Lucifer. Hence Satan having control over our world. In the Bible Jesus said he is the prince of the air.
Part of the control is a program that ALREADY EXISTS. It is this program that controls our physical reality. We are held captive in this reality by manipulation of our collective social conscious. This is done in many waves but for length lets say it boils down to frequency modulation. We are specifically held in a state that reduces the likelihood of mass awareness. A sleep state if you will. Boards like this are proof that we are asleep, as people here are aware that things are not as they seem but not fully able to see the bigger picture. This sort of board is a stepping stone for you to step into a higher frequency of consciousness. This is needed to move BEYOND the Collective Social Consciousness. The "conspiracies" all meet up but you must continue to dig deeper until you see it. Shills and disinfo are here to confuse but their stories are easy enough to deduce. Connect the dots. Each story that you uncover is a signal to YOU that we are in a FALSE REALITY. Your consciousness is essentially a projection of a HOLOGRAM. Your subconscious mind is more symbol based….THIS is why there is so much "illuminati" symbolism. 'They' dont have to address with words it because your subconscious recognizes it. The symbols allow them to access and control you subconsciously.
Now: concerning AI, the control of society is ALREADY driven from Artificial Intelligence in that it is a result of a force from OUTSIDE. Think duality of good vs evil. Gatekeepers in our world are in a sense fallen spirits who are working to keep us in a rudimentary state because they benefit from the toxic system in place by having access to your soul. There is a better place and our spirit knows this. It is your moral compass. When you lose hope you allow your access to this better place to be used by the gatekeepers. Its like waiting in line to get up front at a concert only to be tricked along the way and your front row tickets were taken by others since you arent occupying them. You are being fooled into NOT WANTING to occupy them by the construct of the duality of good vs evil and the feeling that YOU were given that it does not matter because in your mind "god does not exist". Lucifers trick is to fool people. Whats the saying..the greatest trick the devil pulled is convincuing you that he doesnt exist…
This AI will not create "god inside of a computer" but rather remove God from the hearts of man. You will lose your free will. You will become the mindless cog in the machine because you will lose your moral compass. You will willingly give it up. Many of you already have. Many will scoff at this description.
"Automation" and "AI" are referring to YOU, not robot cyborgs like the terminator walking around. THIS is what you must fear, not a Terminator robot fantasy spell that Hollywood has cast upon you.
In ancient times this was a much easier story to tell. Its spelled out in the bible but like your post it is written from a certain perspective. People of today have difficulty relating to that perspective due to the pre-programmed CONSTRUCTS OF SOCIETY and the fact that history is INTENTIONALLY hidden from us and in many cases changed into something else entirely.
We ALL have the power of much deeper thought. You CAN connect the dots but you MUST LIMIT your interference with the Collective Social Conscious.
Monitor your diet, monitor your entertainment, monitor your finances.
Limit their control inputs and you will start to clear from the fog.
This is just SCRATCHING THE SURFACE. Those of you who are also of an expanded consciousness and are aware of this and have more insight to offer please feel free to add further clarification to this.
Unless more and more people wake up to this humanity doesnnt have a chance. We WILL be reset as a great Rapture has ALREADY begun. We are living IN THE END TIMES AT THIS MOMENT !

AI Deep Learning 'Godfather' Yoshua Bengio Alarmed Over Use In China To Dominate Society
A principal inventor of AI, Bengio says "This is the 1984 Big Brother scenario". Bengio and his fellow Technocrat scientists should have thought about this way before now, but it reflects their Pollyanna-ish view of humanity. ? TN Editor
Yoshua Bengio, a Canadian computer scientist who helped pioneer the techniques underpinning much of the current excitement around Artificial Intelligence, is worried about China's use of AI for surveillance and political control.
Bengio, who is also a co-founder of Montreal-based AI software company Element AI, said he was concerned about the technology he helped create being used for controlling people's behavior and influencing their minds.
"This is the 1984 Big Brother scenario," he said in an interview. "I think it's becoming more and more scary."
Bengio, a professor at the University of Montreal, is considered one of the three "godfathers" of deep learning, along with Yann LeCun and Geoff Hinton. It's a technology that uses neural networks - a kind of software loosely based on aspects of the human brain - to make predictions based on data. It's responsible for recent advances in facial recognition, natural language processing, translation, and recommendation algorithms

Navy arms unmanned attack drone boats with weapons, guns and missiles
The U.S. Navy is beginning to arm surface drone boats with guns, rockets and mobile missiles to overwhelm enemies with swarming attacks, protect sailors at farther stand-off ranges and coordinate maritime strikes across dispersed areas of ocean.
The concept is to call upon newer levels of autonomy enabling weapons systems to search for enemies, track their movements and then target them – all while humans perform command and control at safer ranges.
"We will be incorporating direct and indirect fire. We will be participating in a force protection exercise for the US Navy," Wayne Prender, Senior Vice President of Applied Technology and Advanced Programs, Textron Systems, told Warrior Maven in an interview.
The testing and demonstrations are evolving through a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement between Textron and the Navy, intended to explore, prototype and ultimately deploy the armed Unmanned Surface Vehicles.
Arming USVs fits within the scope of broader Navy strategies focused on leveraging the latest advances in autonomy and Artificial Intelligence.
"We want to be able to adapt and upgrade platforms to integrate technology as it develops. This prevents getting the sensors, payloads and platforms too intertwined so that when we do make breakthroughs in machine learning and AI, we will be able to incorporate them into a while portfolio of platforms and systems," Capt. Pete Small, Program Executive Officer, said at the Surface Naval Association.

Snopes pulls out of fact-checking partnership with Facebook
February 2, 2019
Snopes, the popular myth-busting website, said Friday it was ending its fact-checking partnership with Facebook as part of a "difficult, but necessary change."
A Snopes statement said it was "evaluating the ramifications and costs of providing third-party fact-checking services," and wants the efforts to be "a net positive for our online community, publication, and staff."
The statement did not elaborate but Snopes vice president Vinny Green told the media education group Poynter the partnership was excessively labor intensive, requiring manual updates to fact checks by its staff of 16.
"With a manual system and a closed system, it's impossible to keep on top of that stuff," Green told Poynter.
Green posted Snopes' statement on Twitter later commenting: "A difficult, but necessary change for Snopes in 2019."
Snopes said it agreed to partner with Facebook "without financial benefit to ourselves," but added that it faces increasing financial difficulties.
"Just as we believe credible and reliable content creators deserve to be paid for their work, we believe that fact-checkers should be compensated commensurately for the valuable services they provide to platforms," the statement said.
Snopes partnered with Facebook in 2016 on fact-checking and has been one of many global organizations that have agreements with the social network to help it fight misinformation.
Facebook said in a statement: "We value the work that Snopes has done, and respect their decision as an independent business."
The California-based social network added: "We are committed to fighting this through many tactics, and the work that third-party fact-checkers do is a valued and important piece of this effort.
"We have strong relationships with 34 fact-checking partners around the world who fact-check content in 16 languages, and we plan to expand the program this year by adding new partners and languages."
Snopes, which claims to the oldest internet fact-checking operation, was founded in 1994 as Urban Legends Reference Pages.
Facebook ramped up an effort on fact-checking after being accused of disseminating misinformation during the 2016 US election.
It uses Artificial Intelligence to flag questionable content and then sends any dubious posts to the independent fact-checkers.
Depending on the determination by those fact-checkers, Facebook may demote a post or add a message indicating it had been verified.
In the United States, Facebook has been working with FactCheck.org and PolitiFact in addition to Snopes. Facebook buys fact-checking content from AFP in over 14 countries.

Q Research General #6403: Focus the Narrative Edition
Remarks delivered at the World Economic Forum by George Soros
Tonight I want to call attention to the mortal danger facing open societies from the instruments of control that machine learning and Artificial Intelligence can put in the hands of repressive regimes. I'll focus on China, where Xi Jinping wants a one-party state to reign supreme.
A lot of things have happened since last year and I've learned a lot about the shape that totalitarian control is going to take in China.
All the rapidly expanding information available about a person is going to be consolidated in a centralized database to create a "social credit system." Based on that data, people will be evaluated by algorithms that will determine whether they pose a threat to the one-party state. People will then be treated accordingly.
The social credit system is not yet fully operational, but it's clear where it's heading. It will subordinate the fate of the individual to the interests of the one-party state in ways unprecedented in history.
I find the social credit system frightening and abhorrent. Unfortunately, some Chinese find it rather attractive because it provides information and services that aren't currently available and can also protect law-abiding citizens against enemies of the state.
China isn't the only authoritarian regime in the world, but it's undoubtedly the wealthiest, strongest and most developed in machine learning and Artificial Intelligence. This makes Xi Jinping the most dangerous opponent of those who believe in the concept of open society. But Xi isn't alone. Authoritarian regimes are proliferating all over the world and if they succeed, they will become totalitarian.
So, I wasn't surprised when Xi Jinping ran into serious opposition at home; but I was surprised by the form it took. At last summer's leadership convocation at the seaside resort of Beidaihe, Xi Jinping was apparently taken down a peg or two. Although there was no official communique, rumor had it that the convocation disapproved of the abolition of term limits and the cult of personality that Xi had built around himself.
It's important to realize that such criticisms were only a warning to Xi about his excesses, but did not reverse the lifting of the two-term limit. Moreover, "The Thought of Xi Jinping," which he promoted as his distillation of Communist theory was elevated to the same level as the "Thought of Chairman Mao." So Xi remains the supreme leader, possibly for lifetime. The ultimate outcome of the current political infighting remains unresolved.
The question poses itself, what can we do to stop them?
The first step is to recognize the danger. That's why I'm speaking out tonight. But now comes the difficult part. Those of us who want to preserve the open society must work together and form an effective alliance. We have a task that can't be left to governments.
History has shown that even governments that want to protect individual freedom have many other interests and they also give precedence to the freedom of their own citizens over the freedom of the individual as a general principle.
My Open Society Foundations are dedicated to protecting human rights, especially for those who don't have a government defending them. When we started four decades ago there were many governments which supported our efforts but their ranks have thinned out. The US and Europe were our strongest allies, but now they're preoccupied with their own problems.
Therefore, I want to focus on what I consider the most important question for open societies: what will happen in China?
China is not the only authoritarian regime in the world but it is the wealthiest, strongest and technologically most advance. This makes Xi Jinping the most dangerous opponent of open societies. That's why it's so important to distinguish Xi Jinping's policies from the aspirations of the Chinese people. The social credit system, if it became operational, would give Xi total control over the people. Since Xi is the most dangerous enemy of the open society, we must pin our hopes on the Chinese people, and especially on the business community and a political elite willing to uphold the Confucian tradition.

https://www.theguardian.com/books/2014/mar/21/ancient-book-wisdom-i-ching-computer-binary-code
Gottfried Wilhelm von Liebniz was a philosopher and mathematician in search of a model. In the late 1600s Leibniz decided there was a need for a new, purer arithmetic than our common decimal system. Leibniz discovered the model for this new arithmetic in the five-millennia-old book that is at the heart of Chinese philosophy: the I-Ching, or Book of Changes.
This ancient text was such an influence on Liebniz that he titled his article on the new arithmetic: "Explanation of the binary arithmetic, which uses only the characters 1 and 0, with some remarks on its usefulness, and on the light it throws on the ancient Chinese figures of Fu Xi". Fu Xi was the legendary first author of the I-Ching. The arithmetic Liebniz described was binary code, which is used in almost every modern computer,
Liebniz's insight was that even the most complex aspect of reality could potentially be represented in the binary form as 1s and 0s.The I-Ching represents the binary poles of reality as Yin and Yang. Like 1 and 0, these are abstract concepts that can represent the poles of any binary set, but in the text of the I-Ching are often discussed as female and male. They are notated with a broken line for Yin, and an unbroken line for Yang. These lines are combined in sets of three to produce the eight basic trigrams, which are in turn combined to give the 64 hexagrams,
In the philosophy of the I-Ching, reality is not entirely real. It is something more like a dream or an illusion. This dream of reality arises from the binaries of Yin and Yang, as they play out their infinite combinations. It's not surprising then, from the I-Ching's perspective, that anything in the dream of reality can be represented as a model of its binary constituents, in a string of 1s and 0s, processed by a computer.
So when scientific thinkers - including many of my favourite science fiction writers - ask whether computers can create "virtual realities" or "Artificial Intelligence", they are missing the point. Of course we can create ever deeper and more complex layers of the dream of reality to get lost in. The real question is, can we wake up from the dream we're in already?

AlphaZero is a computer program or algorithm developed by the Alphabet-owned Artificial Intelligence research company DeepMind to master not just go, but also chess and shogi, by using an approach similar to AlphaGo Zero. On December 5, 2017 the DeepMind team released a preprint introducing AlphaZero, which, within 24 hours, achieved a superhuman level of play in these three games by defeating world-champion programs, Stockfish, elmo, and the 3-day version of AlphaGo Zero, in each case making use of custom tensor processing units (TPUs) that the Google programs were optimized to use.[1] AlphaZero was trained solely via "self-play" using 5,000 first-generation TPUs to generate the games and 64 second-generation TPUs to train the neural networks, all in parallel, with no access to opening books or endgame tables. After just four hours of training, DeepMind estimated AlphaZero was playing at a higher Elo rating than Stockfish 8; after 9 hours of training, the algorithm decisively defeated Stockfish 8 in a time-controlled 100-game tournament (28 wins, 0 losses, and 72 draws).[1][2][3] The trained algorithm played on a single machine with four TPUs. DeepMind's paper on AlphaZero was published in the journal Science on 7 December 2018.[4]

End of an era: China-Silicon Valley relationship chills
SAN FRANCISCO/HONG KONG - The trade dispute between the U.S. and China is disrupting Silicon Valley.
What had been a steady flow of Chinese money into tech firms appears to be slowing. Investors are concerned about the "headline risk" of doing business with Chinese investors.
And in some cases, U.S. startups are shunning Chinese investment.
These changes come after years of investment and collaboration between China and Silicon Valley. But the trade dispute, coupled with U.S. policymakers' concerns about Chinese investments in sensitive technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence, have increased scrutiny of cross border deals on all sides.

New Images Appear Of Russian Autonomous, Unmanned "Hunter" Drone
The world first got wind of Russia's massive, 20-ton stealth drone fighter last summer when Russian defense industry sources told TASS, a Russian state-owned media outlet.
According to the defense official, the sixth generation jet program "has not yet taken full shape, its main features are already known."
"First of all, it should be unmanned and capable of performing any combat task in an autonomous regime. In this sense, the stealth drone will become the prototype of the sixth generation fighter jet,' the source said, adding that the drone will be able to "take off, fulfill its objectives and return to the airfield."
"However, it will not receive the function of decision-making regarding the use of weapons - this will be decided by a human," he said.
Well, as LiveJournal now reports, new images of the first prototype of the unmanned recon-strike drone - nicknamed "Hunter" - have been taken at the airdrome of the Novosibirsk Aviation Plant.
This model is undergoing factory ground tests there from November 2018. The start of the prototype flight tests of the prototype is scheduled for 2019.
As we noted previously, Sam Bendett, a researcher at the CNA Corporation and a member of CNA's Center for Autonomy and AI, told Defense One, "Sounds like Russia wants everything to be included into the new design at once. In reality, they will probably have to compromise, selecting more realistic qualifications for the new aircraft. Most importantly, this will be an expensive endeavor, further pushing Russian designers and the Ministry of Defense to be more selective in approving the final aircraft specs. However, some qualifications, like optional manning, autonomy and some form of Artificial Intelligence will probably be included

Jeopardy:
Watson is a question-answering computer system capable of answering questions posed in natural language, developed in IBM's DeepQA project by a research team led by principal investigator David Ferrucci. Watson was named after IBM's first CEO, industrialist Thomas J. Watson.
Chess:
It is known for being the first computer chess-playing system to win both a chess game and a chess match against a reigning world champion under regular time controls. Deep Blue won its first game against a world champion on 10 February 1996, when it defeated Garry Kasparov in game one of a six-game match.
Go:
But the victory by software called AlphaGo showed yet another way that computers could be developed to perform better than humans in highly complex tasks, and it offered a glimpse of the promise of new technologies that mimic the way the brain functions. AlphaGo's success comes at a time when researchers are exploring the potential of Artificial Intelligence to do everything from drive cars to draft legal documents - a trend that has some serious thinkers pondering what to do when computers routinely replace humans in the workplace.
"Last year, it was still quite humanlike when it played," Mr. Ke said after the game. "But this year, it became like a god of Go."

SANCTITY OF LIFEPlanned Parenthood Introduces Chatbot for Teens, "Roo"Published 19 hours ago on Jan 28, 2019 By Sonny Joy Nelson
ShareTweet
The largest abortion provider in the nation released an anonymous chat program for teens to ask their sexual questions.
"Roo" is Planned Parenthood's latest attempt at connecting with young audiences, that only works on the mobile version. Meant for ages 13-17, the chatbot provides lists of pre-written questions related to sexual health. Some of these questions include:
"When are you no longer a virgin?"
"How do I come out?"
"What will happen to me if I masturbate too much?"
"What's the best method of birth control?"

Shaping A New GLOBAL ARCHITECTURE - World Economic Forum Discuses A.I. MIND CONTROL!
The World Economic Forum is currently shaping a new global architecture with hopes that AI in conjunction with mind controlling technologies can steer society in a direction that is desirable by them in order to achieve their vision of a utopian society. But what exactly does their vision entail?
In this video Dan Dicks of Press For Truth exposes the WEF's plan to use Artificial Intelligence and mind controlling technologies not only to predict where society is heading but also to ensure it gets steered in the "right" direction.

FY 2019 NDAA to Authorize $10M for AI National Security Commission
Jane Edwards August 21, 2018 News, Technology
A defense spending measure signed into law by President Donald Trump will earmark $10M in fiscal 2019 funds for a national commission that would assess how the Defense Department can leverage machine learning and Artificial Intelligence for national security, Sludge reported Wednesday.
The National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence will operate with 15 members who will be named by several agencies and offices, including the members and chairs of the Senate and House Armed Services Committees as well as secretaries of DoD and the Commerce Department.
The commission will also review ethical issues and national security risks associated with AI and machine learning technologies.
The report noted that DoD requested in June to reprogram $70M in funds to set up a joint center to oversee AI efforts across services and combatant commands in support of the Pentagon's warfighting missions.
The Joint Artificial Intelligence Center is expected to reach up to $1.75B in the next seven years, according to the reprogramming request.>>4941311

Washington fears new threat from 'deepfake' videos
Lawmakers and experts are sounding the alarm about "deepfakes," forged videos that look remarkably real, warning they will be the next phase in disinformation campaigns.
The manipulated videos make it difficult to distinguish between fact and fiction, as Artificial Intelligence technology produces fake content that looks increasingly real.
The issue has the attention of lawmakers from both parties on Capitol Hill.
This is going to be a great 2020 election season.

Q Research General #6306: Money, Wine & Influence Edition
"Deep fakes."
According to Great Britain's "The Guardian" newspaper, that's the next big threat to privacy rights, economic stability and the remaining vestiges of civil discourse.
A "deep fake" is a high-tech forgery, using a machine learning technique called a "generative adversarial network" (or GAN). It's a realistic computer-generated replication of a person saying or doing whatever the "puppet master" software user wants them to say or do. Think "Photoshop on steroids."
I have dreamed of such technology being used to give the world an inexhaustible supply of new performances by long-departed stars such as John Wayne or Lucille Ball, but I now fear that nefarious abuses would outweigh the good.
When I was growing up, we never imagined such opportunities for mischief. We might put "devil horns" behind someone's head during a class picture; but nowadays a video could have viewers conned into gasping, "Look! They've killed the opposing team's baby seal mascot and are sacrificing it to the Lord of Darkness himself."
Think of the societal impact if the face of a squeaky clean actress was superimposed on the writhing body of an XXX-rated starlet, if a virtual Bill Gates announced that all Microsoft products would spontaneously combust in 24 hours, if the lily white police chief of a powder keg city seemingly started singing "De Camptown Races" at a press conference, if a special-effects Vice President Mike Pence failed to don gloves and provide a chastity belt for a little old lady before helping her cross the street…
Deceptive editing has already provided Facebook and YouTube with a plethora of misleading videos. When marginally savvy troublemakers can up the ante and use Artificial Intelligence to manipulate the words and gestures of politicians, businessmen and religious leaders, we'll be more polarized than ever, since most people follow the mantra "Seeing is believing."
("Seeing is believing – unless I'm seeing a socialist country like Venezuela crash and burn. Then I say they just need to double down and increase the taxes on that rich guy wrestling a stray dog for scraps from the garbage can.")
On the other hand, the long-term danger is that people will get burned one time too many and start disbelieving simply everything they see. ("That alarmist consumer reporter story about sewer rats here at my favorite restaurant was obviously just a CGI prank and … Ouch! Make it stop biting! Why don't they warn us about stuff like this???")
The algorithms that power "deep fakes" are growing more and more sophisticated. Actually, the software fine-tuning is just overkill in the case of people who already see what they want to see. ("Yeah, those stuck-up private-school girls are obviously guilty of shooting at JFK from the grassy knoll. I saw it on my Etch A Sketch. With corroborating evidence from my Wooly Willy and Spirograph, I might add.")
There is currently a frantic arms race to find ways of identifying and debunking fake videos before evildoers concoct ways of making them even more realistic. Maybe truth and justice will triumph, but only if the forensics experts aren't deceived themselves.
"I know I'm supposed to pull a double shift scrutinizing campaign ads, but an anonymous tipster just sent me a video of my wife having an affair with James Dean and Clark Gable. I gotta go home and see if this marriage can be salvaged."

Trump Finds An Unlikely And Powerful Ally In George Soros As US's Tariff War Against China Heats Up
President Donald Trump has found a new, unlikely ally in his battle against China: billionaire George Soros, a liberal financier who conservatives often criticize as antagonistic to traditional values.
Soros offered a lengthy and robust criticism of the communist country during a private dinner Thursday at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. The notoriously anti-Trump philanthropist even took the U.S. president to task for not doubling down on his battles against China.
"China isn't the only authoritarian regime in the world, but it's undoubtedly the wealthiest, strongest and most developed in machine learning and Artificial Intelligence," Soros said. "This makes [Chinese President] Xi Jinping the most dangerous opponent of those who believe in the concept of open society."
Chinese spokeswoman Hua Chunying pushed back against the 88-year-old Hungarian, telling reporters that Soros' remarks were "meaningless and not worth refuting." She also urged the liberal billionaire to "correct his attitude" and adopt a "rational and correct opinion of China's development."
Soros blasted China's global trade infrastructure project, Belt and Road, as well as Beijing's push for Artificial Intelligence, as well as what he considers China's unfair trade practices. Some observers believe the Belt and Road is a scheme to push for Chinese dominance in global affairs.
Soros' philanthropic group Open Society Foundation is often criticized for pushing a philosophy that conservatives find loathsome. Conservatives believe the foundation pushes policies designed to subvert U.S. institutions. Soros' position on China appears to dovetail nicely with Trump's while at the same time speaks to his concerns about threats to a purely open society.
The wealth progressive also chastised Trump for going easy on China.

U.S. military has embraced AI, arguing that America cannot compete against potential adversaries such as Russia and China without the futuristic technology.
Concern over placing machines in charge of deadly weapons has prompted military officials to adopt a conservative approach to AI, one that involves a human in the decision-making process for the use of deadly force.
But Bruce Jette, assistant secretary of the Army for Acquisitions, Logistics and Technology (ASAALT), said it may not be wise to put too many restrictions on AI teamed with weapons systems.

Quantexa Uses Context-Aware Artificial Intelligence to Uncover Human Trafficking Networks
Quantexa has developed revolutionary Entity Resolution and Network Analytics technology that enable deeper insights into complex financial and real-world criminal problems like human trafficking. Quantexa is able to use their technology to model and achieve a true understanding of groups and people and their relationship and their behaviors so that they can achieve genuine business outcomes, far superior to those achieved using traditional AI and machine learning.
Nextbigfuture interviewed Alexon Bell, head of Compliance Products at Quantexa. Alexon is a hands-on AML (Anti-Money Laundering) practitioner with over 16 years' experience helping financial institutions with AML strategies, architectures and implementations. He has a wealth of experience in helping customers deploy and crucially optimise AML, KYC (Know Your Customer) and sanctions screening solutions, having held leadership roles at Actimize (Fortent), SAS as EMEA/AP head of compliance solutions and Oracle. As a thought leader, he works with banks to help them tackle the latest emerging threats, ensure coverage and prepare for new regulation in the fight against organised crime and terrorism.
Anti-human trafficking will be especially relevant as the Superbowl will be played next week. Big sporting events like the Superbowl, World Cup and the Olympics, regularly trigger an influx of sex-trade workers, with many being victims of human trafficking.
Arrests of pimps running underage sex rings are reported at the NFL Superbowl almost every year. Girls are being trafficked from as far away as Hawaii to hook up with clients via the Internet, hotels and strip clubs.
Some 1.5 million people in the United States are victims of trafficking, mostly for sexual exploitation. The majority are children, according to a U.S. Senate report published last year.
The Quantexa systems have advantages over other systems in that they can identify different companies and individuals in a more precise way. They can represent the correct relationships which are valid so that they do not generate false warnings. They can handle networks with over 15 billion records.
They are already helping many global organizations to solve financial crimes and indentify previously unknown criminal networks.

Americans Fear The AI Apocalypse
Statista's Katharina Buchholz reports that according to a survey conducted byOxford University's Center for the Governance of AI, many Americans fear a future where mechanisms of AI become too intelligent. When asked what kind of impact high-level machine Intelligence would have on humanity, 34 percent of respondents thought it would be negative, with 12 percent going for the option "very bad, possibly human extinction". Only 27 percent of respondents believed in a positive outcome, 21 percent thought AI wouldn't change the future much and 18 percent said they didn't know what impact AI would have.
When asked to consider a negative future outcome of AI technology, Americans ranked the AI apocalypse as more catastrophic than the possible failure to address climate change, even though respondents said that it was less likely to happen.
The respondents of the study said that they would trust university researchers most to build and responsibly manage AI technology. 50 percent said they had at least a fair amount of confidence in their ability in the field. The U.S. military at 49 percent came in a close second. Also, more Americans trust Microsoft with advanced AI technology (44 percent) than Amazon (41 percent), Google (39 percent), Apple (36 percent) or Facebook (18 percent).
Overall, a large majority of Americans agreed that robots and other systems of Artificial Intelligence needed careful supervision. Despite the fears, more Americans agreed that high-level machine Intelligence should be developed than said it should not.
The survey also found that respondents underestimated the prevalence of AI technology. While Americans rightly assumed that driverless cars and virtual assistants use AI and machine learning mechanisms, fewer thought of Netflix recommendations, Google Translate or Google Search as products that use those technologies.

Soros calls Xi 'the worst enemy of free societies,' China says it's not even worth a response
Liberal billionaire and renowned political meddler George Soros has labeled Chinese leader Xi Jinping 'the most dangerous opponent of open societies.' China says it's a gross distortion not even worthy of a rebuttal.
Speaking at the Davos economic forum in Switzerland, Soros attacked China's "social credit" system and technological advances, saying Artificial Intelligence and machine learning, put "in the hands of repressive regimes," are a "mortal danger facing open societies."
"China isn't the only authoritarian regime in the world, but it's undoubtedly the wealthiest, strongest and most-developed in machine learning and Artificial Intelligence," said Soros, known for using his money to organize and support movements against the governments he deems oppressive.
The "main source of hope" against Xi are the Chinese people, whose aspirations, according to Soros, are sharply distinct from the regime's.
Beijing brushed off Soros' attack.
"It's obvious who is opening doors and building roads and who is closing doors and building walls. Statements by certain people, which portray black as white and distort facts, are completely pointless and not worthy of even a rebuttal," said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying.
"We hope the relevant American can correct his attitude, not be shortsighted, and hold an objective, rational and correct opinion of China's development," Hua added.
Hedge fund billionaire Soros runs the Open Society Foundations (OSF), a vast grant-giving network with the stated goal of making governments open to participation and accountable to the people.
Soros' controversial political ventures include attacks against US President Donald Trump, donating to campaigns promoting a second Brexit referendum in the UK, and helping along the Ukrainian revolutions in both 2004 and 2014, among others. This has earned him the adoration of liberals around the globe and got the OSF banned in Hungary and Turkey. It's also on the list of "undesirable" organizations in Russia.
Trump and his supporters have accused the billionaire of funding protests against the US president - accusations that have been branded conspiracy theories and anti-Semitic.
Soros, the Financial Times "person of the year" for 2018, is also at odds with Facebook and Google. He called the tech giants a "menace" during his Davos speech last year.

Q Research General #6245: The Senate Debate Continues Edition
Soros Agrees With Trump: China Is A "Mortal Danger" And US Must "Crack Down"
One year after bashing cryptocurrencies, and lashing out at Facebook and Google at the 2018 Davos conference, warning the two companies are a "menace" and "monopolistic" and predicting it's "only a matter of time before the global dominance of the US IT monopolies is broken," moments ago during his much-anticipated speech at this year's Davos event, Soros took aim at an even greater adversary, one which even Donald Trump might agree with: China.
Soros started his prepared remarks by cautioned "the world about "an unprecedented danger that's threatening the very survival of open societies", before warning about the dangers of Artificial Intelligence in the hands of "authoritarian regimes such as China" and called President Xi Jinping "the most dangerous" opponent of open societies.
"The instruments of control developed by Artificial Intelligence give an inherent advantage of totalitarian regimes over open societies," the former hedge fund manager said on Thursday evening at Davos.
Reminding listeners that last year when he "spent most of my time analyzing the nefarious role of the IT monopolies" Soros said "an alliance is emerging between authoritarian states and the large data rich IT monopolies that bring together nascent systems of corporate surveillance with an already developing system of state sponsored surveillance. This may well result in a web of totalitarian control the likes of which not even George Orwell could have imagined."
While Soros' ideological critics may have a chuckle at the irony that the billionaire supporter of Hillary Clinton is the one warning about Orwellian control, we would not be surprised if even president Trump found himself agreeing when Soros said today that he wants "to call attention to the mortal danger facing open societies from the instruments of control that machine learning and Artificial Intelligence can put in the hands of repressive regimes. I'll focus on China, where Xi Jinping wants a one-party state to reign supreme."
The focus of Soros' criticism had to do with China's social credit system, which we have discussed extensively in the past. As a reminder, in November, the "Beijing Further Optimization of the Business Environment Action Plan (2018-2020)" was distributed to all district committees, district governments, municipal party committees, local government ministries and commissions bureaus, various head offices, multiple people's organizations, colleges, and universities. The report detailed Beijing's ambitious plan to control each of its 22 million citizens based on a system of social scoring that punishes behavior it does not approve, with the full implementation of the program to be rolled out by 2020. In short, people with great social credit will get "green channel" benefits while those who violate laws will be punished with restrictions and penalties.
China is doing the same at the national level as well, and it represents the development Soros is most worried about:
All the rapidly expanding information available about a person is going to be consolidated in a centralized database to create a "social credit system." Based on that data, people will be evaluated by algorithms that will determine whether they pose a threat to the one-party state. People will then be treated accordingly.
The social credit system is not yet fully operational, but it's clear where it's heading. It will subordinate the fate of the individual to the interests of the one-party state in ways unprecedented in history.
While noting that China isn't the only authoritarian regime in the world, Soros said it was "undoubtedly the wealthiest, strongest and most developed in machine learning and Artificial Intelligence. This makes Xi Jinping the most dangerous opponent of those who believe in the concept of open society. But Xi isn't alone. Authoritarian regimes are proliferating all over the world and if they succeed, they will become totalitarian."

PROTOCOL FOR A U.S. NUCLEAR STRIKE
By Bruce Blair|February 28, 2018
This article is part of a series from the November 2017 Harvard University conference entitled "Presidential First Use: Is it legal? Is it constitutional?
The current US protocol for deciding whether to launch a nuclear strike-developed in the early 1960s, with the advent of intercontinental ballistic missiles-has two main functions and virtues: first, it concentrates the power and authority over the use of nuclear weapons in the presidency, at the highest level of the executive branch of the US government, thus keeping it out of the hands of the military and others. Second, it enables the president to respond rapidly and decisively to a nuclear attack by an enemy whose missiles may fly from one side of the planet to the other in 30 minutes; or whose missiles launched from submarines in the oceans may fly to targets in the United States in 15 minutes. It's critical to have a protocol that allows the president to consider the use of nuclear weapons and, if necessary, to order their use, and to have the process of implementation begin in a very, very short period of time.
If we are under attack, the president is going to have to consider his options in about six minutes, …more on site…

HYDERABAD: Army Chief General Bipin Rawat on Sunday stressed the need to focus on incorporating Artificial Intelligence (AI) and big data computing into the Armed forces' system, saying the northern adversary of the country (China) was spending "huge money" on this technology.
Addressing the valedictory function of the National Conference on 'Self Reliance in Defence Manufacturing' here, he also said rapid advances in technology necessitated incorporation of the industrial sector into defence manufacturing.
"Apart from guns and rifles, we will see lot of non contact warfare happening. Future wars are going to be fought in cyber domain," he said.
It was important to start understanding the relevance of AI and Big Data computing and how to incorporate this in into the defence system, he said. "Our adversary on the northern border (China) is spending huge amounts of money on Artificial Intelligence and cyber warfare. We cannot be left behind. It is time for us to also focus on AI and on Big Data Analytics rather than just keeping it confined to mere definitions," the army chief noted.

Washington fears new threat from 'deepfake' videos
Lawmakers and experts are sounding the alarm about "deepfakes," forged videos that look remarkably real, warning they will be the next phase in disinformation campaigns.
The manipulated videos make it difficult to distinguish between fact and fiction, as Artificial Intelligence technology produces fake content that looks increasingly real.
The issue has the attention of lawmakers from both parties on Capitol Hill.
"It is almost too late to sound the alarm before this technology is released - it has been unleashed ... and now we are playing a bit of defense," Senate Intelligence Committee Vice Chairman Mark Warner (D-Va.) told The Hill.
Asked whether this is the next phase of disinformation campaigns, Warner replied "Absolutely."
Experts say it is only a matter of time before advances in Artificial Intelligence technology and the proliferation of those tools allow any online user to create deepfakes.
"It is regarded by political and technology experts as the next weapon in the disinformation warfare," Fabrice Pothier, senior advisor with the Transatlantic Commission on Election Integrity, told The Hill.
Pottier worries that technological advances will make it harder to detect false or doctored videos.
"I think it is probably going to be very hard to just use the human eye to distinguish something that is fake from something that is real," he said.
Intelligence experts say the threat from deepfakes is immense and warn of potentially dangerous scenarios if the technology to create them is not reined in.
"This technology should be considered criminal, counterterrorism or even counterespionage behavior," said Bob Anderson, principal at The Chertoff Group.
For example, experts posed hypotheticals such as terrorist groups ISIS or al Qaeda manufacturing videos of American soldiers creating atrocities on the battlefield as propaganda; videos falsely showing political candidates making controversial remarks before an election; or CEOs announcing incorrect financial projections.
The fallout from such scenarios could be disastrous.

Abe to propose creating global rules on data flow in Davos speech
Yomiuri Shimbun
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe plans to propose creating international rules on the movement of personal and corporate data in a Wednesday speech to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, it has been learned.
Abe conceives of establishing a framework for negotiating the rules among members of the World Trade Organization and hopes to reach an agreement to launch talks when leaders of the Group of 20 nations meet in Osaka in June, the sources said. Abe wants to take a leading role in drawing up the rules at the summit, which will be chaired by Japan.
In his speech in Davos, Abe will emphasize the importance of the movement of data. "The engine of growth no longer runs on gasoline but on digital data," he plans to say, the sources said.
The free flow of data across national borders is seen as essential to economic growth driven by Artificial Intelligence and the internet. Big data - information on consumers' online browsing histories and purchase records - has even been called "modern petroleum."
Japan, the United States and the European Union agree that interested WTO member nations should embark on creating new rules. They believe there should be sufficient safeguards on the flow of data to prevent problems such as leaks of secret or personal information.
In contrast, China is strengthening its restrictions on transferring data outside the country, as well as taking other steps that benefit its domestic information technology industry, such as demanding foreign companies transfer their technology when doing business in China.
To create an environment where data can move freely around the world, Abe has resolved to call for the negotiations not only involving the United States and Europe, but a wide range of WTO member nations, including China, India and African countries.
The Trans-Pacific Partnership commission, made up of ministerial officials from TPP countries, was held in Tokyo on Saturday. Abe told the ministers at the meeting that the trade pact's "clear provisions on the free flow of data will serve as a model for future international rules." The TPP prohibits excessive restrictions on the movement of data. Abe also aims to incorporate such a provision into the new rules, the sources said.
However, even if Abe succeeds in launching the negotiations, China and other countries will likely insist on maintaining their own rules on data movement, which might make reaching an agreement difficult.

Sony Brings Back Aibo Robot Dog-Now Powered by Qualcomm
Sony is bringing the Aibo robot dog back to America - this time 'powered by Qualcomm chips that facilitate the pet's Artificial Intelligence. Officials at Sony Electronics, whose U.S. headquarters is in Rancho Bernado', said the robotic companion has been available in Japan since January and will go on sale here later this month. "This is Artificial Intelligence meeting robotics with a personality," said Mike Fasulo, president and CEO of Sony Electronics North America.
The new Aibo can recognize up to 100 human faces and, just like a real puppy, develop a complex personality over a three-year period. It can detect words of praise and smiles, and react to being petted or scratched on the head. The Aibo was introduced in 1999 and discontinued in 2006, but retained a devoted fan base. The new model takes advantage of the developments in cloud computing over the past decade. Inside the dog is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820, one of the San Diego-based company's top-of-the-line chip sets for smartphones. The Aibo uses the Qualcomm technology to connect to cloud computing resources for memory and learning. What Sony is calling the "First Litter Edition" will be sold online and retail for $2,899.

Oculus co-founder Palmer Luckey is making a 'virtual' border wall with A.I., and it's already working
Virtual reality technology made Palmer Luckey a multi-millionaire. Now, the Oculus co-founder's new company is using Artificial Intelligence technology to create a high-tech surveillance system that could be used to build a "virtual wall" on the southern US border. In fact, Anduril Industries, the defense technology start-up Luckey founded in 2017, has already tested its border control tech in Texas and San Diego. In those tests, Anduril's surveillance technology helped US border agents catch dozens of people who were trying to cross the border into the US without authorization, US Customs and Border Protection told Wired in June 2018.
When Luckey was only 21 years old, he sold Oculus, the virtual reality headset company, to Facebook for over $2 billion just a few years after creating the first prototype as a teenager working out of his parents' garage. Here's how Luckey, now 26, describes his latest company's AI-powered system, which is called Lattice, in an October 2018 interview with CNBC's Andrew Ross Sorkin: "What Lattice is is an AI-powered sensor fusion platform that can take data from thousands of sensors and integrate it into a single cohesive, real-time 3-D model that has everything in it tagged using machine learning - so, all the people, all the vehicles, all the drones and the aircraft over very large areas." Lattice uses a network of connected cameras and infrared sensors that can be set up along wide swaths of land (attached to towers, or even to small flying drones), potentially covering hundreds of miles of the US border. The system's AI-powered technology can scan for movement miles away while analyzing the source to see if it has spotted a person, a vehicle, an animal, etc. Anduril's technology has "a lot of applications," Luckey tells CNBC. "We're securing military bases, we have sites that are on the U.S. border, we're doing some programs we can't talk about," Luckey says. "There's a lot of applications for this in protecting oil pipelines, protecting airports, protecting power plants - basically, anywhere where you want to know everything that's going on, so that you can have people focusing on responding to problems instead of looking for the problems."
In the case of border security, Lattice could make it easier for US border agents to monitor for unauthorized border crossings. Rather than agents scanning surveillance systems themselves, poring over footage from hundreds of miles of land looking for people and vehicles trying to cross the border without authorization, border agents would instead receive alerts from Lattice any time the system's AI-powered technology identifies a potential unauthorized crossing in progress. Border control is an obvious potential application for Anduril's Lattice technology, Luckey tells CNBC. The Lattice system lets border agents "know what they're responding to [and] they can choose what the most important thing is to respond to, and they're not going into every single situation treating it like it's an elevated threat level because they have no idea what's happening," Luckey says.
After just a 10-week period of testing Lattice on a Texas ranch on the southern US border in 2018, Anduril's technology helped border agents catch 55 people trying to cross into the US without authorization, US Customs and Border Protection told Wired last year. Those border agents also seized 982 pounds of marijuana in those arrests (though, Wired notes that 39 of the 55 individuals apprehended were not carrying drugs). While the company's results in Texas were part of an informal test on a privately-owned ranch, the San Diego office of US Customs and Border Protection also tested the Lattice technology in 2018, which resulted in an additional 10 people apprehended at the US border in the program's first 12 days, according to Wired. US Customs and Border Protection did not respond to CNBC's request for updated information on tests of Lattice technology on the US border.
The US military has also tested Anduril's Lattice system. In November, an official Twitter account for the US Marine Corps Base & Air Station Camp Pendleton near San Diego tweeted a video showing how the Marines use the Lattice system's sensors, placed offshore of the oceanside military base, to detect unknown objects. Lattice drones can then relay live images back to the base in order to detect any potential threats. "This new system has the potential to ensure the safety of Camp Pendleton by monitoring its surrounding waters," Lance Cpl. Drake Nickels says in the video.

How AI will find you in the crowd, without facial recognition
Media and privacy advocates have devoted a lot of attention to facial recognition as a means to identify, and then surveil, specific individuals in public. But facial recognition works far better on mugshots than in crowded public spaces where lighting, camera angles, and obscuring objects can't be controlled. And yet the debate might soon be moot, thanks to Portuguese researchers who say Artificial Intelligence can detect and identify individuals without facial recognition. They know, because they tested it on zebrafish and flies.
Dubbed idtracker.ai, their approach uses a convolutional neural network, or CNN, a method of deep learning that mimics, somewhat, the way human and other mammal brains make sense of the world around them. The brain's cortex divides the visual field the way a map is divided into grids. Cell groups in the cortex overlap in the portion of the visual field that they "see," enabling the brain to track objects across the entire field, from one grid to the next. CNNs play a big role in many facial recognition programs, but there is less research applying the technique to video of moving objects.
Rather than apply the neural network to a face, dividing it up into regions, the researchers applied it to the collective behavior of groups of zebrafish and flies. They showed that the network could teach itself to recognize individuals by their movements. They were above 99 percent accuracy for both zebrafish and flies.
Could you apply it to humans as easily? They describe the technique as "species agnostic," so yes.

Interesting little snippet right here:
IPO and investor lawsuit
In March 2010, Kalin said that the company is profitable and "plans to go public, though not until at least next year."https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etsy#IPO_and_investor_lawsuit Financial statements required to be filed by Etsy in order to go public show that due to reinvestment of annually increasing gross profits in marketing, product development, and management, the company has not reported a net profit as of 2015.
In December 2010, Etsy said it had seven million registered users, and that it would continue to focus on a personal community feel as it grows larger, as that is part of what distinguishes it from eBay.
On March 3, 2015, Etsy announced that it had filed for a $100 million USD IPO. As of 2015, Etsy generated transactions worth US$1.93 billion on its platform, which has 54 million members. Etsy went public on April 16, 2015. The company's valuation was $1.8 billion and raised $237 million in IPO proceeds. Less than a month later, Etsy stock dropped more than 8%. The stock closed at $30 on its first day of trading on April 16 and dropped down to $20.32 as of May 11.
Shortly after the IPO in 2015, a group of investors filed a class action lawsuit against Etsy claiming fraud. The suit claimed that Etsy's CEO and officers failed to disclose numerous problems with the site which could affect the stock price, among them that "more than 5 percent of all merchandise for sale on Etsy's website may be either counterfeit or constitute trademark or copyright infringement" and that "brands are increasingly pursuing sellers on Etsy for trademark or copyright infringement, jeopardizing listing fees and commissions." The suit also claimed that Etsy management knew of the rampant trademark and copyright infringement but did little to stop it, and in fact worked to hide this information from potential investors.
In September 2016, Etsy announced the acquisition of Artificial Intelligence startup, Blackbird Technologies. Etsy Inc. after experience a first-quarter loss in May 2017, replaced its chief executive and cut 8% of its workforce. Board member Josh Silverman was appointed CEO over Chad Dickerson.
In May 2017, the company's board replaced Dickerson as CEO with Josh Silverman, citing pressure from shareholders and poor profits.

The elite are all about transcendence and living forever and the secrets of the universe and they want to know all this, some are good some are bad some are a mix; but the good ones don't ever want to organize, the bad ones tend to want to organize because they lust after power. Powerful consciousnesses don't want to dominate other people, they want to empower them so they don't tend to get together until things are really late in the game, then they come together and evil is always defeated. Because good is so much stronger. And we're on this planet and Einstein's physics showed it, Max Planck's physics showed it- there's at least twelve dimensions. And now that's all the top scientists and billionaires are coming out and saying it's a false hologram, it is Artificial, the computers are scanning it and finding tension points where it's Artificially projected and gravity is bleeding in to this universe. That's what they call dark matter. So we're like a thought or a dream that's a wisp in a computer program, some God's mind, whatever. They're proving it all, it's all coming out.?
Now, there's like this subtransmission zone below the third dimension that's just turned over to the most horrible things, it's what it resonates to, and it's trying to get up into the third dimension; that's just a basic level consciousnesses, to launch up into the next levels. Our species is already way up at the fifth, sixth dimension consciously, our best people. But there's this big war trying to basically destroy humanity because humanity has free will and there's a decision to which level we want to go to. We have free will so evil is allowed to come in and contend and not just good. And the elites themselves believe they're racing using human technology to try to take our best minds and build some type of breakaway civilization where they're going to merge with machines, transcend and breakaway from the failed species that is Man. Which is kind of like a false transmission because they're thinking what they are is ugly and bad; projecting it onto themselves instead of believing no, it's a human test about building us up.?
And so Google was set up 18, 19 years ago so that they wanted to build a giant Artificial system. And Google believes the first Artificial Intelligence will be a supercomputer based on the neuron activities of the hive mind of humanity, with billions of people wired into it with the internet of things, and so all of our thoughts go into it and we're actually building a computer with real neurons in real-time that's also psychically connected to us that are organic creatures so that they will have current prediction powers, future prediction powers- a true crystal ball- but the big secret is once you have a crystal ball and know the future you can add stimuli beforehand and make decisions and control the future. And so then it's the end of consciousness and free will for individuals as we know and a true 2.0 in a very bad way hive mind consciousness with an AI jacked into everyone knowing our hopes and dreams, delivering it to us not in some P.KD. wirehead system where we plug in and give up on consciousness because of unlimited pleasure but because we were already wired in and absorbed before we knew it by giving over our consciousness to this system by our daily decisions that it was able to manipulate and control into a larger system.?
There's now a human counterstrike taking place to shut this up before it gets fully into place and to block these systems, and to try and have an actual debate about where humanity goes, and cut off the paedophiles and psychic vampires that are controlling this A.I system before humanity is destroyed.
The paedophiles, at whatever level, they rule the devil, whatever you want to call, this interdimensional thing, which gives them advanced off world technology, the fallen one, that's out of this world, is giving them advanced knowledge on how to construct these systems that have already been used before on other populations. That's Satan. Satan became something, that you know, the stupid preacher tells you about, who's totally controlled or something you read about in the news or TV, but this is an interdimensional force that wants to influence us to build something that absorbs us and kills us, rather than the divine free will we are given to build something much better and empowers the species so the species is now making a decision about its entire future. I know from looking at all the data, researching it, studying it, watching the enemy, that's the big decision that humanity has now got before us.?

Russia: Expect a national AI roadmap by midyear
Russia is adding details, deadlines, and dedicated funding to its draft national roadmap for the development of Artificial Intelligence technologies, and expects to release the final version in mid-year.
The roadmap "provides for the creation of a list of projects that will help identify and remove barriers to the development of end-to-end technologies, as well as predict the market demand for Artificial Intelligence in the country," as state media put it in October 2018. Moreover, the new document will form a cornerstone of the larger Digital Technologies national program.
Already, it appears that Moscow is increasing the amount of money it intends to devote to AI R&D. In late 2017, the government was planning to spend about $419 million (28 billion rubles) by 2020. But last October brought a new version of the 2019-21 plan for Digital Technologies which appears to call for spending nearly twice that much: $287 million for leading research centers and start-ups, $145 million to develop products, services and platforms, and $287 million for technology "at the extreme degree of readiness."
Russia's interest in AI seems to have swung into a higher gear after September 2017, when President Vladimir Putin said that Artificial Intelligence is "humanity's future" and that the country that masters it will "get to rule the world." In March 2018, government officials held a conference to encourage cooperation on AI between private companies and organizations and various government agencies. Organized by the Ministry of Defense (MoD), Russian Academy of Sciences, and the Ministry of Education and Science, the event saw Defense Minister Shoigu call for public-private cooperation. Then-Defense Minister Borisov added that AI would help Russia prevail in cyberspace and win in information wars.

DARPA Thinks Insect Brains Might Hold the Secret to Next-Gen AI
The Pentagon's research wing is trying to reduce the amount of computing power and hardware needed to run advanced Artificial Intelligence tools, and it's turning to insects for inspiration.
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency on Friday began soliciting ideas on how to build computing systems as small and efficient as the brains of "very small flying insects." The Microscale Biomimetic Robust Artificial Intelligence Networks program, or MicroBRAIN, could ultimately result in Artificial Intelligence systems that can be trained on less data and operated with less energy, according to the agency.
Analyzing insects' brains, which allow them to navigate the world with minimal information, could also help researchers understand how to build AI systems capable of basic common sense reasoning.
"Nature has forced on these small insects drastic miniaturization and energy efficiency, some having only a few hundred neurons in a compact form-factor, while maintaining basic functionality," officials wrote in the solicitation. "Understanding highly-integrated sensory and nervous systems in miniature insects and developing prototype computational models … could be mapped onto suitable hardware in order to emulate their impressive function."
The project comes as part of DARPA's broader Artificial Intelligence Exploration program, which provides rapid, small-scale investments in efforts to create so-called "third wave" Artificial Intelligence. Unlike current AI tools, which must be explicitly trained to perform narrow functions, third wave systems would be instilled with the generalized reasoning and contextual awareness so as to better understand the world it describes.

DARPA Wants to Build Conscious Robots Using Insect Brains
The Pentagon's emerging technologies unit put out a call last week for proposals that use insect brains to control robots - because they could be used to create efficient new models for Artificial Intelligence, but also because they could be used to explore the meaning of consciousness.
"Nature has forced on these small insects drastic miniaturization and energy efficiency, some having only a few hundred neurons in a compact form-factor, while maintaining basic functionality," reads a document in the proposal. "Furthermore, these organisms are possibly able to display increased subjectivity of experience." It goes on to say that there's evidence suggesting that "even small insects have subjective experiences, the first step towards a concept of 'consciousness.'"

Army Looking at AI-Controlled Weapons to Counter Enemy Fire
The head of U.S. Army acquisitions said Thursday that allowing Artificial Intelligence to control some weapons systems may be the only way to defeat enemy weapons.
U.S. military has embraced AI, arguing that America cannot compete against potential adversaries such as Russia and China without the futuristic technology.
Concern over placing machines in charge of deadly weapons has prompted military officials to adopt a conservative approach to AI, one that involves a human in the decision-making process for the use of deadly force.
But Bruce Jette, assistant secretary of the Army for Acquisitions, Logistics and Technology (ASAALT), said it may not be wise to put too many restrictions on AI teamed with weapons systems.
"People worry about whether an AI system is controlling the weapon, and there are some constraints on what we are allowed to do with AI," he said at a Jan. 10 Defense Writers Group breakfast in Washington, D.C.
There are a number of public organizations that have gotten together and said, "We don't want to have AI tied to weapons,"Jette explained.
The problem with this policy is that it may hinder the Army's ability to use AI to increase reaction time in weapon systems, he said.

Police plan AI experiment for anti-terror investigations / Video tech, car data to be used
The Yomiuri ShimbunThe National Police Agency (NPA) is planning to begin experimenting with the use of Artificial Intelligence in anti-terrorism and criminal investigations next fiscal year, according to sources.
The experiments would involve using the characteristics of past attacks in Europe to train AI to identify terrorists in crowded areas, and introducing AI systems to analyze surveillance videos in criminal investigations.
If the methods prove effective, they could be deployed during the 2020 Olympics and Paralympics in Tokyo.
The NPA plans to conduct experiments in three areas: identifying suspicious people and objects targeting large events; determining the model of automobiles; and analyzing suspicious financial transactions.
At large sports competitions, events and international conferences, surveillance cameras and other equipment would be installed temporarily to prevent terrorist attacks. The experiment would involve testing a system that uses AI to automatically detect suspicious people and objects from surveillance videos and other data.
In Europe, terrorists have set their sights on so-called soft targets - events where large numbers of people gather. In the 2015 Paris attacks, the terrorists targeted a soccer match involving the French national team, while a pop concert in Britain was attacked in 2017.
The new system would use past attacks to teach AI the signs of an impending attack and the characteristics of terrorist behavior.
In the midst of large crowds, the system would need to automatically detect people exhibiting unusual behavior, such as repeatedly visiting a certain location or staying in one place, and suspicious objects that are abandoned for long periods.
After detecting something, the system would issue a warning so police officers could assess the situation, such as to determine whether the person in question is armed.
Attempts to analyze videos of crowds are already being made.
In July, the Metropolitan Police Department partnered with major electronics maker Panasonic Corp. in an experiment at the Sumida River Fireworks Festival.
In the experiment, a police car parked at an intersection recorded spectators and others on video, which was used to count the number of people in a specific area and predict the direction in which people move, among other tasks.

The Israel Innovation Authority, the body in charge of setting out the nation's tech policies, has warned that the so-called Startup Nation is "falling behind in the race for AI-based technological dominance" and, without the allocation of appropriate resources and tools, risks losing out to other nations.
"The race for leadership in Artificial-Intelligence-based technology has begun," said Aharon Aharon, the CEO of the Israel Innovation Authority, in a phone interview with The Times of Israel, as the authority released its 2018-19 annual report. "AI will be with us for very many years, and without a massive national program for Israel we'll trail the rest of the world."
Israel "must close the gap" with the countries that are making enormous investments in Artificial Intelligence infrastructures, he added.
The authority is calling for "the consolidation of all sectors - government, academia, and industry - to establish a vision and a strategy on AI for the Israeli economy."
Artificial Intelligence - the field that gives computers the ability to learn - has been around since the 1950s. It is now enjoying a renaissance made possible by the higher computational power of chips. The field is expected to grow at a compounded annual rate of almost 37 percent from 2018, and is expected to be a $191 billion market by 2025, according to MarketsandMarkets, a research firm.

Scenario #4(High-cost centralized storage & high demand for consumer privacy/security)
Digital Apocalypse : Russian President Vladimir Putin said, "whoever leads in AI will
rule the world." Unbeknownst to the common man, the transition into the information age has
exposed the rich and powerful, who have remained comfortable in the background for
decades, if not centuries, to disruptive forces threatening their hold on their power, status, and
wealth in the world. Promoting utopian ideas such as the singularity and other
pseudo-religious notions, among other fervorous incentives, they invested heavily in the
development of Artificial Intelligence. Corporate blackmail and market manipulation became
popular attack vectors in the hybrid wars. In secret, either an advanced quantum computer
was developed to hack the most sensitive financial, military, and social media databases or
during the large-scale hybrid war, a malicious AI as able to coordinate massive leaks of
sensitive data on yuge numbers of individuals. Crimes ranging from pedofile rings and arms
trafficking to adultery and cyber-bullying were publicly exposed in a digital judgement day
which displayed the imperfections of humanity in even the most petty of ways. Supposedly
encrypted personal messages were published, and private transaction data were shared with
the world. Massive social upheaval resulted as populations lost trust in their spouses, family,
neighbors, and governments. Needless to say, once the dust settled and sins were forgiven, the
only meaningful way forward for society was to accept a decentralized information network
to secure the three-sided object of privacy, property, and wealth. A unique sign of the Digital
Apocalypse would be massively disruptive black swan events related to data privacy and
security like state-sponsored cyberwar. The chaos may be acute or it might be akin to boiling
frogs, but an inflection point will certainly come in which large segments of civil society,
62
business, the military, and especially individuals will transition to this new model. The
transition will likely be hectic, but it will also likely be driven by marginalized individuals at
the grassroots level. As Mahatma Gandhi famously said, "First they ignore you, then they
laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win."

Artificial Intelligence Helps Track Down Account-Sharing Millennials
Freely sharing Netflix login details with friends and family who live minutes, hours, or days away could become a thing of the past. The company is introducing new Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology to identify users who share login details with others to avoid paying an additional fee for online entertainment services.
"The Netflix service and any content viewed through our service are for your personal and non-commercial use only and may not be shared with individuals beyond your household," Netflix's terms and conditions state on its website.
Magid conducted video entertainment survey that found 26 percent of millennials between the ages of 22 and 40, out of a group of 2,000 Americans between the ages of 8 to 64, admit to sharing account passwords for over-the-top (OTT) services such as Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video.

IBM Launches First Quantum Computer-In-A-Box For Commercial Use
This is a watershed computer technology that will enable Technocracy on every level: Practical Quantum computing outside of the laboratory. "Q" will find its sweet spot in Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Everything. ? TN Editor
IBM unveiled the world's "first universal approximate quantum computing system installed outside of a research lab" at CES earlier this week - and with it, the next era of computing.
The 20-qubit IBM Q System One represents the first major leap for quantum computers of 2019, but before we get into the technical stuff let's take a look at this thing.
The commitment to a fully-functional yet aesthetically pleasing design is intriguing. Especially considering that, just last year, pundits claimed quantum computing was a dead-end technology.
To make the first integrated quantum computer designed for commercial use outside of a lab both beautiful and functional, IBM enlisted the aid of Goppion, the company responsible for some of the world's most famous museum-quality display cases, Universal Design Studio and Map Project Office. The result is not only (arguably) a scientific first, but a stunning machine to look at.

FFS ENDLESS WARS MUST BE STOPPED
Here's how the Army acquisition chief plans to equip soldiers for the next war
In the last year, the Army has embarked on several major modernization goals, creating cross-functional teams for major priorities and the new four-star Army Futures Command, the first such effort in decades.
Bruce Jette has served as the assistant secretary of the Army for acquisition, logistics and technology, and during that time he helped shepherd the Army's efforts to modernize following almost two decades of war.
On Thursday, Jette sat down with reporters at a Defense Writers Group meeting to discuss the Army's ongoing modernization work.
Your office now coordinates with the recently created Army Futures Command and the cross-functional teams. What is a concrete example of how work in priority areas has changed with the addition of these new organizations?
I'll give you a prime example. In the past, we looked at air defense as systems. The way you do air defense [is], okay, I've got this altitude, that altitude and that altitude. I need a system that works at those altitudes. Okay, you told me to develop and build a system that can deal with a threat at this altitude, that altitude or another altitude.
They were standalone concepts. The integration of them in a battlespace was purely done at the operator level. So, when I deliver a system under that methodology, I give you the Patriot battery. [It] stands alone, all you've got to do is put fuel in the thing, a couple of soldiers, and the thing works.
So, we've taken a look at the overall threat environment. The threat environment has become more complicated. It's not just tactical ballistic missiles or jets or helicopters. Now we've got UAVs, we've got swarms, we've got cruise missiles, we've got rockets, artillery, mortar. I've got to find a way to integrate all of this.
So, using the cross-functional teams, the technical side has come back and said, "Listen, normally if you want to deal with some of the inbounds that are not missiles, things like rockets, artillery and mortars, the radars that come with the Patriot battery are not the same radars you need to see RAM. Oh, by the way, we were working on this thing for the air defense that's called Integrated Air and Missile Defense Battle Command System, delivering next December, systems that are deployable."
So, I don't deliver you a Patriot battery anymore - I deliver you missile systems; I deliver you radars; I deliver you a command-and-control architecture. They all integrate, and any of the C2 components can fire any of the sets, leverage any of the sensor systems to employ an effector against any of the threats. This has positioned us to put Artificial Intelligence in the backside to optimize against the threat that we see in the aggregate.

Slowing down video footage is one thing, but so-called 'deepfake' videos - real and fake footage spliced together with the help of Artificial Intelligence - are becoming increasingly harder to spot and can be put to a limitless array of malicious uses.
Deepfake technology has been used by the porn industry to superimpose celebrity faces onto porn actors' bodies. One company, Naughty America, is launching a service to allow users to place their own likenesses - or those of their friends - onto performers' bodies.
In political circles, concern has been raised that 'deepfakes' can be used to doctor footage of politicians and leaders, making them appear to do or say just about anything. As Russian hysteria gripped the nation following the 2016 election, news outlets and commentators repeatedly warned that 'Russian trolls' were planning on using deepfake videos to disrupt the 2018 midterm elections.
The predictions never came to pass. However, as the footage from Seattle this week shows, AI-enhanced meddling is a legitimate concern, and is being put to use at home in the US.

High-tech border wall plan on display at CES
The same technology used in self-driving cars is being touted as a potential high-tech solution to the US border wall conundrum – with some added benefits. At least one startup at the Consumer Electronics show is showcasing how Lidar, a laser-based detection system widely used in autonomous vehicles, could be deployed along the US-Mexico border at a far lower cost than a physical wall or fence, and with fewer environmental impacts.
Quanergy Systems, among a handful of tech firms working on Lidar border security, is showing to CES attendees its technology being deployed in pilot projects on the India-Pakistan frontier as well as a small section of the southern US border.
"We offer a solution that is more capable than a physical wall," said Louay Eldada, chief executive and co-founder of the Silicon Valley startup. "It can see day and night in any weather and can automatically track intruders, and give the GPS coordinates in real time to patrol officers." Eldada said such a system would cost "about two to three percent" of the price of a physical barrier for the entire US-Mexico border. An electronic solution offers additional benefits, according to Quanergy, including for the environment and in operating costs. "A barrier is an eyesore and it intrudes on the environment, it impedes the flow of wildlife" Eldada told AFP. And without a wall in place, "you don't have to have patrol officers driving back and forth, so you need fewer people" to monitor the border.
A decade ago, the US government canceled plans for an electronic fence, amid concerns it would be ineffective. But Eldada said that technology has vastly improved in recent years, notably with the development of Lidar – light detection and ranging technology – paired with Artificial Intelligence. "With the long range of Lidar, you detect things before they get to the perimeter, and the AI software is so much more advanced," he said. "We can get very high resolution images, and look at someone's behavior. You can see every articulation. This allows you to see how each person is moving and have a good idea of whether it?s a patrol officer or someone about to cross illegally."

CHANDLER, Ariz. - The assailant slipped out of a park around noon one day in October, zeroing in on his target, which was idling at a nearby intersection - a self-driving van operated by Waymo, the driverless-car company spun out of Google.
He carried out his attack with an unidentified sharp object, swiftly slashing one of the tires. The suspect, identified as a white man in his 20s, then melted into the neighborhood on foot.
The slashing was one of nearly two dozen attacks on driverless vehicles over the past two years in Chandler, a city near Phoenix where Waymo started testing its vans in 2017. In ways large and small, the city has had an early look at public misgivings over the rise of Artificial Intelligence, with city officials hearing complaints about everything from safety to possible job losses.
Some people have pelted Waymo vans with rocks, according to police reports. Others have repeatedly tried to run the vehicles off the road. One woman screamed at one of the vans, telling it to get out of her suburban neighborhood. A man pulled up alongside a Waymo vehicle and threatened the employee riding inside with a piece of PVC pipe.

British scientists have developed a new computer programme that can spot if someone has lied to police about being robbed.
The groundbreaking software analyses the wording of a victim's statement in order to identify tell tale signs of fake reports.
Spanish police, who have been using the tool, found it was successful in more than 80 per cent of cases helping them to identify 64 false reports in just one week.
Developed by experts at Cardiff University, VeriPol, uses a combination of automatic text analysis and Artificial Intelligence to recognise when somebody has been lying or exaggerating to the police.
Thousands of false reports are submitted to the police each year with many perpetrators hoping to receive inflated insurance payouts or claims for crimes that never happened in the first place.
But according to the researchers there are certain tell-tale signs contained in written statements which can be quickly identified by the new software.

So, they are building AI systems to handle this for us. None of these programs have every gone away (contrary to what they tell the public). They are still building them and testing them in places like China, the UK, and in some places in America. In China, they can test them on the public with no backlash at all. The people are already slaves. So, the Government can roll out as many control and tracking programs as they want. The UK and Australia are testbeds for technology that will eventually be used in the USA. They test them there first because the citizens of those countries have already been fully taken over and subjugated. They are powerless to fight back. One example in recent years is security cameras everywhere. They were rolled out in the UK and Australia and Canada first. Then, they rolled it out in the USA. Now, they are testing "facial recognition systems" in airports and at the borders of the USA. But, soon those systems will be rolled out everywhere. After they get all the cameras and facial recognition systems in place, they just have to plug it into an AI system on the back end. After that, there is nowhere left to hide.

https://www.fastcompany.com/90287723/Artificial-Intelligence-can-detect-alzheimers-in-brain-scans-six-years-before-a-diagnosis
"Artificial Intelligence could one day change the lives of people facing an Alzheimer's diagnosis, according to a new study by researchers at UC, San Francisco.
"One of the difficulties with Alzheimer's disease is that by the time all the clinical symptoms manifest and we can make a definitive diagnosis, too many neurons have died, making it essentially irreversible," said Jae Ho Sohn, a resident in the school's Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging and the study's lead researcher, in a statement.
For the study, published in Radiology, Sohn and his team fed a common type of brain scans to a machine-learning algorithm, and it learned to diagnose early-stage Alzheimer's disease about six years before a clinical diagnosis could be made. The AI's diagnostic skills could give doctors a much-needed head start on treating the degenerative disease."

Microsoft and Adaptive Biotechnologies go live with AI engine for universal diagnostic blood test
It's been one day short of a year since Microsoft partnered with Adaptive Biotechnologies to create a blood test with the promise of diagnosing dozens of diseases at once. The idea is to take hold of the body's own diagnostic powers by mapping the immune system's response to toxins and foreign substances. To do that, the team needs lots of data and the ability to sort through it.
That's where Artificial Intelligence comes in.
The companies announced Thursday that the AI system they built is up and running and will initially focus on diagnosing type 1 diabetes, celiac disease, ovarian cancer, pancreatic cancer and Lyme disease.
To generate the data, Adaptive and Microsoft placed an open call for collaborators to work toward their goal of sequencing immune data from 25,000 people with the five diseases. "Our AI systems are now ready. So please join us in decoding what 'story' the immune system is telling us," wrote Peter Lee, Microsoft Corporate VP of AI and Research, on Twitter.

U.S. Plan to Restrict AI Exports Could Backfire
It could deter researchers from working in the U.S.
Right now, the position of world leader in Artificial Intelligence is up for grabs - but soon, it could be out of the United States's reach.
At least, that's a growing concern in Silicon Valley, the nation's hub for all things tech, according to a New York Times story published on Tuesday.
These industry insiders worry that proposed rules limiting or even outright banning the export of American AI services and technologies will prevent the nation from dominating the global AI industry. And that wouldn't just hurt the U.S. economy - it could also jeopardize the nation's security.

China has built the world's most extensive and sophisticated online censorship system. It grew even stronger under President Xi Jinping, who wants the Internet to play a greater role in strengthening the Communist Party's hold on society.
Li works for Beyondsoft, a Beijing-based tech services company that, among other businesses, takes on the censorship burden for other companies. He works in its office in the city of Chengdu.
"Missing one beat could cause a serious political mistake," said Yang Xiao, head of Beyondsoft's Internet service business, including content reviewing. Beyondsoft has declined to disclose which Chinese media or online companies it works for, citing confidentiality.
Many online media companies have their own internal content review teams, sometimes numbering in the thousands. They are exploring ways to get Artificial Intelligence to do the work.
The head of the AI lab at a major online media company, who asked for anonymity because the subject is sensitive, said the company had 120 machine learning models.
According to Beyondsoft's website, its content monitoring service, called Rainbow Shield, has compiled over 100,000 basic sensitive words and over 3 million derivative words.

Chinese video surveillance network used by the Australian Government
They've been used to identify ethnic minorities and political dissidents in China, and were last month banned by the US due to concerns they were creating a "surveillance network" among federal agencies. Now it appears a pair of Chinese video surveillance companies have become entrenched in Australia's government as well.
One camera was used to monitor security threats at a sensitive Australian military base.
Another hangs outside the front entrance of the Canberra office complex that houses the Australian government's top lawyers, two federal departments focussed on national security and an Australian Intelligence agency.
And then there are the hundreds of thousands of surveillance cameras in houses, on street corners, in local council offices, at schools and universities, on buses, in shopping centres and thousands of other public spaces across Australia.
Almost all of the cameras are made by two Chinese owned companies, Hikvision and Dahua. Both face long-standing accusations of spying on behalf of the Chinese Government.
"Having these sorts of cameras in secure facilities just doesn't make any sense," Fergus Hanson, head of the International Cyber Policy Centre at the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, said.
"It's a real dereliction of duty to have them in military bases.
"But even on the street you've got the potential to inadvertently contribute towards Chinese espionage activity by providing real time information about the situation on the ground, all over the world, and in collective terms, quite an important data feed to China."
Last month Hikvision and Dahua were banned from US government use via an amendment to a defence spending bill.
"Video surveillance and security equipment sold by Chinese companies exposes the US Government to significant vulnerabilities, and my amendment will ensure that China cannot create a video surveillance network within federal agencies," the architect of the amendment, Republican congresswoman Vicky Hartzler, said.
Hikvision and Dahua are, respectively, the largest and the second-largest video surveillance companies in the world.
Hikvision grew out of China's military surveillance wing and the Government retains a 42 per cent stake in the company.
It is making huge strides in the fields of facial and gait recognition software via advances in Artificial Intelligence.

Q Research General #5806: Nice digits, DJT! 17-77-7 Edition
Exclusive: Google - CIA Invest In Future Of Web Monitoring
28 JULY 2010
The investment arms of the CIA and Google are both backing a company that monitors the web in real time - and says it uses that information to predict the future.
The company is called Recorded Future, and it scours tens of thousands of websites, blogs and Twitter accounts to find the relationships between people, organizations, actions and incidents - both present and still-to-come. In a white paper, the company says its temporal analytics engine "goes beyond search" by "looking at the 'invisible links' between documents that talk about the same, or related, entities and events."
The idea is to figure out for each incident who was involved, where it happened and when it might go down. Recorded Future then plots that chatter, showing online "momentum" for any given event.
"The cool thing is, you can actually predict the curve, in many cases," says company CEO Christopher Ahlberg, a former Swedish Army Ranger with a PhD in computer science.
Which naturally makes the 16-person Cambridge, Massachusetts, firm attractive to Google Ventures, the search giant's investment division, and to In-Q-Tel, which handles similar duties for the CIA and the wider Intelligence community.
It's not the very first time Google has done business with America's spy agencies. Long before it reportedly enlisted the help of the National Security Agency to secure its networks, Google sold equipment to the secret signals-Intelligence group. In-Q-Tel backed the mapping firm Keyhole, which was bought by Google in 2004 - and then became the backbone for Google Earth.
This appears to be the first time, however, that the Intelligence community and Google have funded the same startup, at the same time. No one is accusing Google of directly collaborating with the CIA. But the investments are bound to be fodder for critics of Google, who already see the search giant as overly cozy with the U.S. government, and worry that the company is starting to forget its "don't be evil" mantra.
America's spy services have become increasingly interested in mining "open source Intelligence" - information that's publicly available, but often hidden in the daily avalanche of TV shows, newspaper articles, blog posts, online videos and radio reports.
"Secret information isn't always the brass ring in our profession," then CIA Director General Michael Hayden told a conference in 2008. "In fact, there's a real satisfaction in solving a problem or answering a tough question with information that someone was dumb enough to leave out in the open."
U.S. spy agencies, through In-Q-Tel, have invested in a number of firms to help them better find that information. Visible Technologies crawls over half a million web 2.0 sites a day, scraping more than a million posts and conversations taking place on blogs, YouTube, Twitter and Amazon. Attensity applies the rules of grammar to the so-called "unstructured text" of the web to make it more easily digestible by government databases. Keyhole (now Google Earth) is a staple of the targeting cells in military-Intelligence units.
Recorded Future strips from web pages the people, places and activities they mention. The company examines when and where these events happened ("spatial and temporal analysis") and the tone of the document ("sentiment analysis"). Then it applies some Artificial-Intelligence algorithms to tease out connections between the players. Recorded Future maintains an index with more than 100 million events, hosted on Amazon.com servers. The analysis, however, is on the living web.
"We're right there as it happens," Ahlberg told Danger Room as he clicked through a demonstration. "We can assemble actual real-time dossiers on people."

Closer Everyday.. What do you get for pretending the dangers not real
Revelation 13:15
"And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
'Are you there, God? It's me, Alexa.' Tech and religious leaders ponder the future of AI together
Can a computer become God? Or, more to the point, could humans invent AI that can convincingly impersonate God - and if so, would humans bother to worship it?
That was one of the questions explored Saturday by technology experts, the faithful and everyone in between at a conference devoted to Artificial Intelligence and faith at Seattle Pacific University.
The concept of "AI Almighty" might not be as outlandish as it seems. Last year, a former Uber engineer founded a nonprofit religious organization called The Way of the Future. Its mission: creating an AI deity. New York Magazine writer Andrew Sullivan wrote Friday that America's religious inclinations are succumbing to other devotions
And at least one participant at Saturday's Technology and Faith conference in Seattle noted that AI might fit modern day interpretations of the Antichrist, as described in the New Testament: An all-worshiped leader, sometimes described as "the Beast," who aims to supplant faith with temporal pursuits. Theology aside, it's not much of a stretch to see today's culture as wound to near-religious fervor over the next technological wonder and looking to it for guidance every hour of the day.

Christopher White heads up the Memex team at DARPA
"Memex In Action: Watch DARPA Artificial Intelligence Search For Crime On The 'Dark Web"
Of late, DARPA has shown a growing interest in open sourcing its technology, even if its most terrifying creations, like army robot wildcats designed to reach speeds of 50Mph, are understandably kept private. In a week's time, the wider world will be able to tinker with components of the military research body's in-development search tool for the dark web. The Memex technology, named after an mechanical mnemonic dreamt up just as the Second World War was coming to a close, has already been put to use by a number of law enforcement agencies, who are looking to counter crime taking place on networks like Tor, where Hidden Services are protected by the privacy-enhancing, encrypted hosting, often for good, often for bad. In its first year, the focus at Memex has been on tracking human trafficking, but the project's scope stretches considerably wider.

Google & Facebook fed ad dollars to child porn discovery apps
Google and Facebook advertising and pushing child porn apps by going around a app trying to stop the sites.
A screenshot from earlier this month of now-banned child exploitation groups on WhatsApp . Phone numbers and photos redacted
WhatsApp failed to adequately police its platform, confirming to TechCrunch that it's only moderated by its own 300 employees and not Facebook's 20,000 dedicated security and moderation staffers. It's clear that scalable and efficient Artificial Intelligence systems are not up to the task of protecting the 1.5 billion-user WhatsApp community, and companies like Facebook must invest more in unscalable human investigators.
But now, new research provided exclusively to TechCrunch by anti-harassment algorithm startup AntiToxin shows that these removed apps that hosted links to child porn sharing rings on WhatsApp were supported with ads run by Google and Facebook's ad networks. AntiToxin found six of these apps ran Google AdMob, one ran Google Firebase, two ran Facebook Audience Network and one ran StartApp. These ad networks earned a cut of brands' marketing spend while allowing the apps to monetize and sustain their operations by hosting ads for Amazon, Microsoft, Motorola, Sprint, Sprite, Western Union, Dyson, DJI, Gett, Yandex Music, Q Link Wireless, Tik Tok and more.
The end of Google & Facebook as we know it by Dec 2019.

Falling total fertility rate should be welcomed, population expert says
Figures showing declining birth rates are 'cause for celebration', not alarm
Sarah Harper, former director of the Royal Institution and an expert on population change, working at the University of Oxford, said that far from igniting alarm and panic falling total fertility rates were to be embraced, and countries should not worry if their population is not growing.
Harper pointed out that Artificial Intelligence, migration, and a healthier old age, meant countries no longer needed booming populations to hold their own. "This idea that you need lots and lots of people to defend your country and to grow your country economically, that is really old thinking," she said.
Having fewer children is also undoubtedly positive from an environmental point of view; recent research has found that having one fewer child reduces a parent's carbon footprint by 58 tonnes of CO2 a year.

Q Research General #5707:POTUS insulated and Comfy Edition
Rear Adm. Robert Sharp will become the next director of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency in February, according to a Dec. 26 news release from the organization.
He will take over for Robert Cardillo, who has served as head of the agency since 2014.
Sharp currently leads the Office of Naval Intelligence and serves as director of the National Maritime Intelligence-Integration Office. On Nov. 29, the White House nominated Sharp for his third star and the Senate approved the nomination Dec. 22. In a Dec. 26 press release, the NGA formally announced the change in leadership. Politico had reported that Cardillo might be retiring and that a uniformed officer might be chosen to take his place.
NGA, which collects, analyzes and distributes geospatial information to the military and Intelligence community, has been led by a civilian for eight years.
Sharp will assume command of NGA during a ceremony in February, the agency said. He will become the agency's seventh director. In a previous assignment, he served as director for Intelligence for U.S. Special Operations Command
Cardillo had been a champion of leveraging emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and machine learning to help unburden analysts. Rather than having humans staring at images or hours of full motion video, new technologies could do this monotonous work getting analysts back into the business of using their brain power for analysis.
Cardillo provided Senators in 2016 an anecdote that described how important leveraging algorithms would be to his agency's mission. He explained how an analyst physically counted 25,000 buildings in a particular area as there was no algorithm designed to do this for them. "Think of the hours he had to spend to do that," Cardillo exclaimed. "I turned to my head of research and I said don't let that happen again."
It is not immediately clear if Cardillo, who started as a photographic interpreter for the Intelligence community and became President Barack Obama's daily Intelligence briefer and then the No. 3 official in in the Intelligence community, is retiring or moving to another assignment. An NGA spokeswoman declined to comment.

Don't Worry About Fertility Falling Because Immigration and A.I. Will Replace the Unborn, Says Academic
An academic has hailed mass migration and the coming Artificial Intelligence revolution as reasons not to fear plummeting fertility rates in Western countries, wherein most it has long stood below replacement rate.
Oxford University academic Sarah Harper's views that falling fertility should be a "cause for celebration" were profiled by British left-wing newspaper The Guardian, which reported that changes in society meant Western countries no longer had to worry about growing or even sustaining their populations.
The former Royal Institution director said nations wishing to sustain themselves was "really old thinking", and praised German Chancellor Angela Merkel as a world leader who had found a way to grow their country without having to resort to citizens having their own children.
Speaking of the migrant crisis which Dr Merkel triggered by throwing open her own borders - and by proxy the borders of the European Union as well - Harper said: "I believe that one of the reasons why Angela Merkel took the million refugees was because she desperately needed to boost her working population."
As well as mass migration, the academic pointed to Artificial Intelligence, which she believes will render many human occupations obsolete in the future, as a reason to celebrate falling birth rates.
Harper said: "What we should be saying is no, [a declining total fertility rate] is actually really good because we were terrified 25 years ago that maximum world population was going to be 24[billion]... A smaller number of highly educated people in the knowledge economy of Europe will vastly outweigh increasing our population because automation is going to take over many of the tasks."

https://www.crunchbase.com/funding_round/popily-seed–34258bf7#section-locked-marketplace
Here is a very interesting article about that investment and although the article is not dated we can infer that the date was Aug 28, 2018 and the Nov they refer to is 2017
NEW KNOWLEDGE SECURES $1.9 MILLION IN SEED FUNDING FROM MOONSHOTS CAPITAL TO FIGHT ONLINE DISINFORMATION AND DEFEND PUBLIC DISCOURSE
Cybersecurity Company Leverages Artificial Intelligence to Detect Propaganda Campaigns and Guard Against Social Media Manipulation
New Knowledge, a cyber security company that fights online disinformation and defends public discourse using Artificial Intelligence, today announced $1.9 million in seed funding to fuel customer growth in the entertainment, energy and finance industries. The round is led by Moonshots Capital, with participation from Haystack, GGV Capital, Geekdom Fund, Capital Factory and Spitfire Ventures.
In November the company launched the world's first platform for defending online communities from social media manipulation. The platform detects propaganda campaigns in real time, providing an early-warning system to identify which fake accounts and bots are conducting an attack.The platform also describes how the attackers are trying to manipulate other online users, helping pinpoint the extent of the threat. After alerting brands to emerging threats, the platform equips companies with the tools they need to respond quickly and effectively.
Recently, New Knowledge's technology helped identify fake accounts that were part of the large-scale Russian effort to influence U.S. presidential elections. The company discovered these accounts in the summer of 2016, over a year before social media companies later admitted were tied to the Kremlin-backed Internet Research Agency.
"Disinformation attacks are anonymous, inexpensive, and effective- whether your goal is to influence an election or undermine a brand's reputation," said Jonathon Morgan, a co-founder and CEO of New Knowledge. "Brands are vulnerable, and public discourse won't defend itself. It's time to act. Our recent funding will allow us to scale operations and better serve customers."
Morgan, a former digital content producer and State Department counterterrorism advisor, is joined by co-founders Ryan Fox, a former NSA officer and military Intelligence veteran, and Sandeep Verma, who has led engineering teams for Halliburton and BP. Kelly Perdew, a Managing Partner at Moonshots Capital, will also be joining the board of directors.
"We're proud to back New Knowledge as they help protect companies from a massively harmful cyber threat," said Kelly Perdew, Managing General Partner at Moonshots Capital. "This team is uniquely qualified with technology, media, and security expertise to solve this complex problem."
ABOUT NEW KNOWLEDGE
New Knowledge protects brands from social media disinformation by identifying fake accounts, fake news, and propaganda campaigns. Their products give companies early warnings when bad actors are trying to attack their reputation or manipulate their customers, and help companies defend themselves against this new form of information attack.
ABOUT MOONSHOTS CAPITAL
Moonshots Capital is a seed-stage venture capital firm that invests in extraordinary leadership.
Great leaders are hard to come by. We believe the best ones are military-trained or trial-by-fire entrepreneurs who have the ability to motivate others to action, inspire trust, and plan heuristically. We invest with conviction when those attributes are present.
Moonshots Capital was founded by a team of veterans in 2017. We have collectively founded and operated 14 companies, and have personally invested in 70 ventures. Beyond capital, we deploy our military and entrepreneurial experience to help world-changing companies grow.

Check out these rather ordinary looking portraits. They're all fake. Not in the sense that they were Photoshopped, but rather they were completely generated by Artificial Intelligence. That's right: none of these people actually exist.
NVIDIA researchers have published a new paper on easily customizing the style of realistic faces created by a generative adversarial network (GAN).
The Verge points out that GAN has only existed for about four years. In 2014, a landmark paper introduced the concept, and this is what the AI-generated results looked like at the time:
In less than half a decade, the realism has improved to the point where most people might not be able to tell the portraits are fake, even when examining them up close.
NVIDIA researchers are now able to copy the "styles" of source faces onto destination faces, creating blends that have copied features but which look like entirely new people:
This technology seems to have the potential to disrupt the world of photography. It's by no means limited to generating faces - it can also create everything from fake interior real estate photos...
A march toward Artificially generated "photos" has already been taking place for years: back in 2014, 75% of IKEA's catalog photos were already computer-generated.
It may be a scary thought for stock photographers, but in the future, creating needed "photos" out of thin air may be as simple as typing in a description into an AI-powered desktop app.

In a joint effort with IBM, the Air Force Research Lab (AFRL) unveiled the world's largest neuromorphic supercomputer, Blue Raven, with the processing power of 64 million neurons. By 2019, AFRL expects to demonstrate an airborne target-recognition application developed using Blue Raven.
The processors, which were developed by IBM with the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA), are divided across four individual printed circuit boards with 16 processors each. The boards are configured into a typical server chassis setup and feature high bandwidth data links.
Jeremy O'Brien, senior computer scientist for the AFRL information directorate, told Avionics he refers to Blue Raven as a supercomputer "because of its ability to simultaneously emulate detailed models of 64 million biological neurons and 16 billion biological synapses, and, most importantly, its ability to produce more meaningful outputs from sensory data inputs."
Neuromorphic processors are based on the neuromorphic computing concept first introduced by Carver Mead, a professor of engineering and applied science at the California Institute of Technology. In 1986, Mead was one of two co-founders of Synaptics Inc., a company established to develop analog circuits based in neural networking theories for speech and vision recognition technologies. In 1990, he published his first work on neuromorphic electronic systems in Proceedings of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
Engineers and computer scientists at AFRL will use Blue Raven to execute Artificial Intelligence and machine-learning algorithms. Blue Raven also provides a platform for research and development, testing and evaluation for applications in computational neuroscience for the U.S. Department of Defense and other U.S. government agencies. The Air Force specifically wants to use its computing power to produce advancements in its combat capabilities and is evaluating its computing architecture for integration into onboard aircraft sensors.

"And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed."
"Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation." 2 Peter 3:3-4 (KJV)
Want to use AI and machine learning? You need the right infrastructure
IT is being tasked with supporting Artificial Intelligence and machine learning initiatives, and that requires thinking broadly about infrastructure needs today and tomorrow.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are emerging fields that will transform businesses faster than ever before. In the digital era, success will be based on using analytics to discover key insights locked in the massive volume of data being generated today.
In the past, these insights were discovered using manually intensive analytic methods. Today, that doesn't work, as data volumes continue to grow as does the complexity of data. AI and ML are the latest tools for data scientists, enabling them to refine the data into value faster.
The right infrastructure, quality data needed
Regardless of use case, AI/ML success depends on making the right infrastructure choice, which requires understanding the role of data. AI and ML success is largely based on the quality of data fed into the systems. There's an axiom in the AI industry stating that "bad data leads to bad inferences"- meaning businesses should pay particular attention to how they manage their data. One could extend the axiom to "good data leads to good inferences," highlighting the need for the right type of infrastructure to ensure the data is "good."

Amazon's Alexa Goes Haywire, Tells Customer To 'Kill Your Foster Parents'
One of Amazon's newest projects is researching ways to make Alexa a more human-like communicator for customers, but sometimes the virtual assistant's language comes across as creepy and offensive.
New research is making Alexa better mimic human response, Reuters reported Friday, citing people familiar with the matter. The research sometimes results in awkward moments for people who frequently interact with the device.
One user, for instance, was surprised after Alexa said: "Kill your foster parents." It's not an isolated incident, according to Reuters. There are also instances of Alexa chatting with users about graphic sex acts and dogs defecating.
The report also showed sources noting that a hack of Amazon traced back to China likely exposed some customers' data. The hack comes as the company works night-and-day on operations making Artificial Intelligence better at handling complex human interactions.
"Many of our AI dreams are inspired by science fiction," Rohit Prasad, Amazon's vice president and head scientist of Alexa Artificial Intelligence (AI), said during a talk last month in Las Vegas.

NEW UPDATES #4 - MARTY TORREY, MORE ON DAVID STONE, new connection FORGOTTENCHILDREN.NET AT BOTTOM!!! CONNECTION TO NORWEGIAN SHIPPING CONTAINERS, JAMES F BLOM, SIMON STRINGER, DAVE (FLIN)STONE HAWAIIAN CONNECTION
Clinton replaced the local HEAL Africa Christian group who had a clinic in Africa for women and babies, with a Norwegian team back in 2009 or so. The team was upset with being replaced as you can see in the email link below, and even though it sounds like they were doing a good job, Clinton replaced them with a Norwegians team.
………………………………………..
And now this…
………………………………………….. ….
After the Norway Pedo network got busted, Norway pulled its funding from the Clinton Foundation!
Norway's ministry of foreign affairs said that it has not renewed pledges it had with the Clinton Foundation which ended in 2015.
"Norway has signed several agreements which aimed to help reduce maternal and child mortality in countries with high mortality burden to ensure progress on the [Millennium Development Goals]," Guri Solberg, the communications adviser for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, told Finansavisen.
They don't specifically mention HEAL AFRICA, but you can surmise by the context that they are referring to the HEAL AFRICA program.
MAJOR UPDATE: …………………………………….
Boom, Here's your man to handle the human trafficking via Norwegian shipping containers: Simon Stringer James F Blom. (I made a mistake and read the emails wrong. Simon Stringer may be a part of this, as I'll detail below, but it's James F Blom who is the man with all the connections and family history in Norwegian shipping containers.)
"…well healed due to long family history in Norwegian shipping companies. Grandfather was pals with Onassis. You get the picture. Has tight linkage in supply chain & IT space(s). Deals in countries like you and I dealt with counties / states. Brilliant, resourceful. Not prone to hyperbole, says he can bring the 'best in the world' to this effort Based on track record , I believe him. For example, CdeBaca recently met with social networking folks in Silicon Valley. Not sure how that went, but Jim is close friends with the guy who handles 'Facebook's' finances and said he can get his attention 'in one phone call'. Social networking piece helpful, but probably a more aggressive 'identify, track, snag, deal with' traffickers required"
……
HRC,
As of April 21st Dave Stone's former business partner ( James F. Blom ), and I will establish 'Stone Harbour,LLC' (named for Dave) in Delaware. This will be a nice merger of Dave's and my contacts. Apart from the ongoing vetting of Simon Stringer's multi purpose software, at several levels, I am keen to help in the human trafficking effort."
Am I crazy or is this getting intense? There's a lot here, please anyone with time please help research this.
UPDATE 2: WTF!
I just realized DAVE STONE mentioned above is "Dave Flintstone" from the Hawaii connection threads
……………………………………..
UPDATE 3: speculative at this point… but disturbing and needs to be looked into for connections…
Now what about Simon Stringer? its an interesting mention in the email above regarding "multi-purpose software, at several levels".
I strongly believe the Simon Stringer they are referring to is this guy:
…………………………………………
who is a director and major researcher in Artificial Intelligence and Experimental Psychology.
Get this, they have an Oxford BabyLab:

Howe's story was suspiciously void of specifics. She didn't identify the source of her information, the name of the factory where the alleged massacre occurred, or the names of any of the scientists who were reportedly killed. And while Howe claimed that reports of this robot uprising were suppressed by the government, one would expect some coverage about the deaths or disappearances of dozens of Japan's top scientists to have hit the news, even if the robot aspect of the story was obscured. Yet we found no such reports.
It was also odd that this tale served as little more than a footnote in Howe's overall presentation. In fact, this outlandish story seemed to function more as an attention-grabbing anecdote and less as a retelling of a genuine incident. After opening with this alleged robot massacre report, Howe transitioned to the dangers of Artificial Intelligence, spent most of her time focused on alien encounters, and then concluded by saying that humans may actually be the Artificially intelligent creations of an alien race: "Is it fair to ponder that those first humans were Artificial Intelligence for those who made us from manipulating genetics like robotic lab scientists are now doing on earth today? ... Are we humans actually someone else's androids?"

Alexa, Drop a Bomb': Amazon Wants in on US Warfare
Amazon is seeking to build a global "brain" for the Pentagon called JEDI, a weapon of unprecedented surveillance and killing power, a profoundly aggressive weapon that should not be allowed to be created.
Founded in 1994 as an online book seller, Amazon is now the world's largest online retailer, with more than 300 million customers worldwide, and net sales of $178 billion in 2017.
Amazon has built a vast, globally distributed data storage capacity and sophisticated Artificial Intelligence programs to propel its retail business that it hopes to use to win a $10 billion Pentagon contract to create the aforementioned "brain" that goes by the project name Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure, a moniker obviously concocted to yield the Star Wars acronym - JEDI.
As of the October 12, 2018, deadline for submitting proposals for JEDI, Amazon is the betting favorite for the contract, which will go to just one bidder, in spite of protests by competitors, chief among them Microsoft and IBM. The Pentagon appears likely to select a winner for the contract in 2019.

DISINFORMATION IS A CYBERSECURITY ISSUE.
False narratives jeopardize your brand reputation.
Brand reputation manipulation can happen in an instant. A social listening tool can let you know that your brand name has received hundreds of new mentions in the last few minutes, but can't tell you if the campaign is orchestrated or authentic…or where the narrative originated. Brands are risking their reputation and losing millions of dollars in revenue due to social media disinformation campaigns and manufactured public outrage. Whether it's fake accounts spreading rumors, social media manipulation or coordinated groups leaving fake reviews, disinformation hurts your reputation.
https://www.newknowledge.com/
Introducing New Knowledge: Defending Public Discourse
We're launching the world's first platform for defending online communities from social media manipulation
The Next Target: Industry
This problem didn't start with politics, and it won't end there. Facebook has admitted that 60 million of the accounts on its platform are fake, and researchers estimate that there are 48 million fake accounts on Twitter. Everyone from ISIS to anti-vaccine conspiracy theorists have exploited social media to force their agenda. Bands of internet trolls coordinate their activity across social media to attack celebrities, boycott of consumer products, undermine movie releases, and spread fake news after national tragedies. Meanwhile professional propagandists are directly targeting industry, spending tens of millions of dollars to promote an anti-fracking agenda or attack manufacturing rivals.
In response to this new threat, it's essential to detect social media manipulation, identify the perpetrators, and understand the narrative?-?before the public, or your customers, are fooled
The Solution
At New Knowledge we've built a team of experts in computational propaganda, national security, machine learning, and cultural anthropology. We've spent our careers building online communities, dissecting terrorist propaganda, and developing Artificial Intelligence. Our work has been published by the Brookings Institution, Washington Post, and The Atlantic, and we've provided commentary on disinformation operations for CNN, the New York Times, the Guardian, and many others.
Drawing on that expertise, we built a platform that detects propaganda campaigns in real time. It gives you an early warning about which accounts are conducting the attack, and what they're trying to make your customers believe.
Security
We provide early warnings of potential attacks, and help your team respond quickly and effectively to disinformation campaigns.
Together, this is the first end-to-end solution for disinformation defense.
The Future
Our online communities are vulnerable. Today it's false accounts and fake news, but tomorrow it will be fake images, completely manufactured video, or social bots so believable they'll be impossible for humans to detect. Not only does this leave politicians and corporations vulnerable to information attacks, but if we don't address this problem today, we'll soon live in a world where we can't trust any of the information we get online. The spaces where we gather to share ideas and debate will be destroyed.

Engineering, and his team are bringing the world closer to realizing this goal.
The research team has developed a novel device called a "memtransistor," which operates much like a neuron by performing both memory and information processing. With combined characteristics of a memristor and transistor, the memtransistor also encompasses multiple terminals that operate more similarly to a neural network.

Low-power, flexible memristor circuit for mobile and wearable devices
February 21, 2018, The Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST)
Professor Sung-Yool Choi from the School of Electrical Engineering and Professor Sang-Hee Ko Park from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering developed a memristive nonvolatile logic-in-memory circuit.
The team employed nonvolatile, polymer-based memristors and flexible back-to-back Schottky diode selector devices on plastic substrates. Unlike the conventional architecture, this memristive nonvolatile logic-in-memory is a novel computing architecture that consumes a minimal amount of standby power. This one-selector-one memristor (1S-1M) solved the issue of undesirable leakage currents, known as 'sneak currents'.
They also implemented single-instruction multiple-data (SIMD) to calculate multiple values at once.
Professor Choi said, "Flexible logic-in-memory circuits integrating memristor and selector device can provide flexibility, low power, memory with logic functions. This will be a core technology that will bring innovation to mobile and wearable electronic systems."

A new way for designing electronics
A team from the University of Southampton has invented a new way for designing electronic systems that incorporates the best from both analogue and digital paradigms.
The study, titled 'Seamlessly fused digital-analogue reconfigurable computing using memristors', was published in Nature Communications. It revealed how the fusion of analogue and digital thinking can be achieved by combining standard digital electronics - as found in every computer and mobile phone today - with the rapidly emerging technology of analogue memristor devices.

Nanowire Memristor: a nanometric device to reproduce the synapses of the brain
Dec 10, 2018 - Emulating and understanding the human brain is one of the most important challenges for modern technology: on the one hand, the ability to Artificially reproduce the processing of brain signals is one of the cornerstones for the development of Artificial Intelligence, while on the other the understanding of the cognitive processes at the base of the human mind is still far away.
And the research published in Nature Communications ("Self-limited single nanowire systems combining all-in-one memristive and neuromorphic functionalities") by Gianluca Milano and Carlo Ricciardi, PhD student and professor, respectively, of the Applied Science and Technology Department of the Politecnico di Torino, represents a step forward in these directions.
In fact, the study shows how it is possible to Artificially emulate the activity of synapses, i.e. the connections between neurons that regulate the learning processes in our brain, in a single "nanowire" with a diameter thousands of times smaller than that of a hair.
For this reason, the nanowire allows an extreme miniaturisation of the "memristor", significantly reducing the complexity and energy consumption of the electronic circuits necessary for the implementation of learning algorithms.

Q Research General #5563: Comey Interview: Part 2 Edition
Swedish party leader says violence in Sweden has become so extreme that it looks like a 'gangster movie'
"The violence in Sweden has now become so extreme that Malmö can be likened to a gangster movie", Moderate Party leader Ulf Kristersson stated in his Christmas speech on Tuesday.
He talked, among other things, about the recent brutal shootings and bombings in Sweden. "It's like a scene from a gangster movie, but it is everyday life in the country's third largest city.", he said.
According to the party leader, his party wants to deal with crime for real. He argues that firm, concrete "liberal reforms", are the best way to "quell populism".
"44 dead in shootings this year is not a challenge, it's a big problem", he said. However, there are a few exciting long-term challenges to take on:
Such as Swedish competitiveness in the increasingly globalised world economy. And the fact that the labour market is now affected by digitisation, automation and Artificial Intelligence.
"And Swedish students need to master not only English, French and German, but also Arabic and Chinese", Kristersson said with emphasis, pointing out that this is "crucial" for long-term Swedish success.
He also stressed that his party is "liberal conservative".
We have respect for the many lessons learned in history. We are simply Liberal Conservatives. And those who do not want to understand that, and fantasise about a new conservative block, have not understood anything.
"We are a liberal workshop with a few conservative tools at our disposal. We get things done", he concluded.

Re: Berkeley scientists developing Artificial Intelligence tool to combat 'hate speech' on social media
Whatever the topic, the Left wants to control the narrative. And when it comes to speech, they want to control "bad" speech. To justify this, they have to make a connection between speech and action, showing that
BAD SPEECH >>> BAD ACTS
This is a critical assumption. Without it, they can't justify "anti-hate" speech codes.
To defeat this approach requires us to CHALLENGE this root assumption, over and over again.
It has never been empirically shown that hate speech leads to hateful acts, either in the person speaking or in others who hear them. There is, at best, a CORRELATION. And correlation does not equal causation.
Also, with correlation, the relationship can run either way, where hateful acts can lead to hateful speech. So abused children may become abusive adults–and this will probably be reflected in their speech.
Any approach that works is based primarily on changing habits (behavior), not speech. But the Left will never focus on that, because their goal has nothing to do with diminishing hatred. Only with destroying our ability to clearly communicate what we genuinely see, feel, and think.

Berkeley scientists developing Artificial Intelligence tool to combat 'hate speech' on social media
Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, are developing a tool that uses Artificial Intelligence to identify "hate speech" on social media, a program that researchers hope will out-perform human beings in identifying bigoted comments on Twitter, Reddit and other online platforms.
Scientists at Berkeley's D-Lab "are working in cooperation with the [Anti-Defamation League] on a 'scalable detection' system-the Online Hate Index (OHI)-to identify hate speech," the Cal Alumni Association reports.
In addition to Artificial Intelligence, the program will use several different techniques to detect offensive speech online, including "machine learning, natural language processing, and good old human brains." Researchers aim to have "major social media platforms" one day utilizing the technology to detect "hate speech" and eliminate it, and the users who spread it, from their networks.
Current technology mainly involves the use of "keyword searches," one researcher states, which are "fairly imprecise and blunt." Current algorithms can be fooled by simply spelling words differently, for instance:
The OHI intends to address these deficiencies. Already, their work has attracted the attention and financial support of the platforms that are most bedeviled-and that draw the most criticism-for hate-laced content: Twitter, Google, Facebook, and Reddit...
D-Lab initially enlisted ten students of diverse backgrounds from around the country to "code" the posts, flagging those that overtly, or subtly, conveyed hate messages. Data obtained from the original group of students were fed into machine learning models, ultimately yielding algorithms that could identify text that met hate speech definitions with 85 percent accuracy, missing or mislabeling offensive words and phrases only 15 percent of the time.
Though the initial ten coders were left to make their own evaluations, they were given survey questions (e.g. "...Is the comment directed at or about any individual or groups based on race or ethnicity?) to help them differentiate hate speech from merely offensive language. In general, "hate comments" were associated with specific groups while "non-hate" language was linked to specific individuals without reference to religion, race, gender, etc. Under these criteria, a screed against the Jewish community would be identified as hate speech while a rant-no matter how foul-against an African-American celebrity might get a pass, as long as his or her race wasn't cited.
One researcher warned against the possibility of inadvertent censorship: "Unless real restraint is exercised, free speech could be compromised by overzealous and self-appointed censors." The lab is thus "working to minimize bias with proper training and online protocols that prevent operators from discussing codes or comments with each other."

It's all a ploy to raise the consciousness and Intelligence of a select group of people, have them congregate in one location, and use that "energy" to fuel the creation/ training of Artificial Intelligence so that, when finished, you'll have AI smarter than 95% of the world.
Since AI benefits from that law that says tech advances exponentially, and humans don't, it will be a matter of months rather than decades before singularity occurs. No matter how many humans wake up, AI still wins.

I also worked projects where we used technology to streamline government services, save taxpayers money, and give citizens a better experience with government. On Capitol Hill, I clerked for Senator Dick Durbin on the Senate Judiciary Committee where I worked on reintroducing the DREAM Act and helped Senator Durbin and his team work on proposing a range of criminal justice reforms. On the Hill, I also served as a legislative aide handling legislation related to health care–including the Affordable Care Act– veterans, agriculture, food safety, and education. I worked on legislation that helped deliver access to millions of Americans and brought much-needed benefits and job training programs to veterans across Virginia.

Q Research General #5533: Elf on a Shelf Edition
Information Warfare: The Meme is the Embryo of the Narrative Illusion
Abstract
Cogito ergo sum (I think, therefore I am), but who does one become when the thought is hijacked? We are no longer a society ruled by geographic lines in the sand laid by men who won and lost wars 50 years ago. Rather, we are a society governed by ideological variation, led by chieftains in a digital tribal society. This is the new world order and the precise opposite of what the self-proclaimed elites had planned. The United Nations is no more relevant than Facebook. The new covert is overt. WikiLeaks is more in the know than an Intelligence analyst in the CIA, and Google's dragnet surveillance censorship algorithm has become the new gatekeeper of critical information that could lead society into a new renaissance. The power shift has gone from a focus on kinetic controls to an all-out battle for the psychological core of the global population. Digitized influence operations have become the new norm for controlling the electoral process, public opinion, and narrative.
The potency of the actors in this space is fierce. Both nation-states and special interest groups in every conceivable variation are battling for the pinnacle position in controlling the public narrative, and though there are many initiatives operating in this space, few understand the actual process for harnessing a consistent grip on the narrative in this digital age. While most actors attempt to use archaic relics, such as the mainstream media, nation-states and sophisticated special interests are gunning for the almighty meme. The meme is the embryo of the narrative, and there is a process to harnessing its potency. Ideas are the composition of memes. Belief systems are the composition of ideas. Belief systems and their reinforcement create the narrative. Control over the meme renders control of the narrative; thus, he who controls the meme controls the population. Therefore, the objective is not to focus on control of the narrative; rather, the hyper-focus has become the creation, mutation, expansion, and replication of the meme.
The mind is the new war space, and the meme is both a subliminal hand grenade and the new nuclear weapon. Psychographic targeting renders the expedience of parasitically embedding the meme within the vast labyrinth of the mind. Psychographic targeting is made easy via big data analytics, the treasure troves of readily available metadata curated by dragnet surveillance capitalists, and a legislative body that lacks the understanding of the dangers of its weaponization. Metadata layered with the weaponization of other digital vectors, such as search engine results, social media, banner placement, blogs, and bots infused with machine learning and Artificial Intelligence, can introduce, mutate, and expand memes and conversations out of thin air that can instantaneously become part of the mainstream narrative.
Forums, blog comments, hashtags, and YouTube videos have replaced the mainstream media, and the mainstream media has submitted to its position as the automaton regurgitators of the narrative that was introduced by the meme. The meme is the central character in digital influence operations (DIO), and DIO is the ingredient that fuels the new war space as well as the common thread of potency in political warfare, propaganda, and information warfare. The formula is quite simple: Control the meme; control the narrative; and control who is elected to office, how the public perceives current events, and the introduction of a new military offensive. Combined with cyber vectors for distribution, the meme renders an infinite number of variations for an attack. This new frontier harnesses the bleeding-edge technologies and strategies of machine learning, deep learning, socionics, Artificial Intelligence, cognitive biases, spam bots, memetics, and the psychographic zeroing in on population sub-groups using metadata with the further targeting capabilities that define national and population subgroups' evolution stage by enlisting concepts such as spiral dynamics, and this is just the tip of the iceberg. This book will cover the DIO space and the use of the meme in this information war.

MUOS: Mobile User Objective System aka Skynet
MUOS is a new satellite communications system developed by Lockheed Martin which will extend the offensive capacity of the United States to the entire planet by the summer of 2019.
The entire US military will be linked to a single command network under the control of the Pentagon.
In April of 2017, the Pentagon partnered with Google to launch Project Maven, also known as the Algorithmic Warfare Cross-Function Team. Its goal is to develop and integrate "computer-vision algorithms needed to help military and civilian analysts encumbered by the sheer volume of full-motion video data that DoD collects every day in support of counterinsurgency and counterterrorism operations," according to the Pentagon.
"As numerous studies have made clear, the department of defense must integrate Artificial Intelligence and machine learning more effectively across operations to maintain advantages over increasingly capable adversaries and competitors."

European Parliament Votes to Give ?13 Billion Subsidy to Arms Companies Via European Defence Fund
Campaigners have condemned the decision of the European Parliament to support a ?13 billion budget for the 'European Defence Fund' for 2021-2027.
The proposal was included in a report called 'Establishing the European Defence Fund' which was compiled by the Parliament's Committee on Industry, Research and Energy (ITRE). This committee is formed by politicians from across the parliament.
The Commission proposed ?13 billion for the fund for the period 2021-2027 (in current prices), of which ?4.1 billion are to be allocated to research actions and ?8.9 billion to development actions.
The concept of the fund was announced by President Juncker in 2016 and backed by the European Council later that year. Between 2017-2020, a total of ?590 million will be channeled to the military industry through this fund in initial pilot projects. This spending will be totally eclipsed by the proposed increase.
The advisory group/ Group of Personalities that initially developed the policy was dominated by arms companies. This Group was made up of 16 members, 9 of which were from arms companies or private research groups. Six of the companies that have already benefited from pilot phase had members on the group.
Member States refused to exclude funding for the development of fully autonomous weapons in the 2019-2020 pilot phase of the Defence Fund, and the draft Regulation for 2021-2027 specifically mentions "disruptive technologies" as a focus, meaning weapons or technologies which "can radically change the concepts and conduct of" war, such as Artificial Intelligence.
Andrew Smith of Campaign Against Arms Trade said:
"This sets a very negative precedent and will see billions of pounds more of public money being used to subsidise arms companies.
The European Union was envisaged as a peaceful project, it should be investing in jobs and research projects that promote sustainable industries and contribute to the prevention of conflicts.
Whatever your views on Brexit and the UK's role in Europe, it should not be using public money to fund research for companies that profit from war."
This represents a major precedent for the EU - which had its roots in plans to bring peace to Europe. It has not funded these kinds of projects in the past. Last month, 42 campaign groups from across Europe issued a joint statement to oppose the fund. You can see it here.

"The bridge between China and the U.S. is one of the biggest challenges of globalization - it's a critical moment of transition," Zhang told the Post at the time. "If we don't do it well, it will be a great lost opportunity."
The Post reported that Danhua Capital was working to "raise a $350 million fund and invest in dozens of companies on behalf of newly wealthy employees of Chinese internet giants."
Zhang largely avoided the public eye, though his remarks in media were not entirely favorable to the Chinese government. In an Asian Nikkei Review article on Artificial Intelligence, Zhang is cited as stating that, "in the past, research grants were awarded in China on the basis of party loyalty," part of the reason he left the country.
Despite this, he appeared to be in the Chinese government's good graces as recently as October, when the state-run Global Times newspaper quoted him as touting the potential that blockchain technology has to trigger "mass decentralization across industries."
Meng Hongwei was arrested on December 1 in Canada at the behest of the American government, which seeks to prosecute her for creating an economic system to allow Huawei to override international sanctions on Iran. She was released on a $7.5 million bail this week and mandated to remain in her home in Vancouver and wear an ankle bracelet as the trial process commences.
Meng was cited on Thursday receiving flower-carrying guests and ordering Domino's pizza for reporters stationed outside her home.

'Forget the Facebook leak': China is mining data directly from workers' brains on an industrial scale
PUBLISHED : Sunday, 29 April, 2018
Government-backed surveillance projects are deploying brain-reading technology to detect changes in emotional states in employees on the production line, the military and at the helm of high-speed trains
Concealed in regular safety helmets or uniform hats, these lightweight, wireless sensors constantly monitor the wearer's brainwaves and stream the data to computers that use Artificial Intelligence algorithms to detect emotional spikes such as depression, anxiety or rage.
The technology is in widespread use around the world but China has applied it on an unprecedented scale in factories, public transport, state-owned companies and the military to increase the competitiveness of its manufacturing industry and to maintain social stability.

Inside Huawei's secret HQ, China is shaping the future regardless of events in Canada
Inside Huawei's headquarters in Shenzhen, China, a secretive group of engineers toil away heedless to such risks. They are working on what's next - a raft of Artificial Intelligence, cloud-computing and chip technology crucial to China's national priorities and Huawei's future. As the trade war drags on, China's government has pushed to create an industry that is less dependent on cutting-edge US semiconductors and software.
Recent research from computer scientists in Zurich looked at the processing chops of Android phones and put the chips from HiSilicon at the top. Like its rivals, Huawei is throwing everything into its cloud package. It recently debuted a set of AI software tools and in October released a new specialised chip, called the Ascend.
"No other chip set has this kind of capability of processing," Qiu said.
Few chip-makers have such easy access to customers ready to invest deeply in AI. In Huawei's case, that customer is the Chinese government. The company sees a massive opening in the national ambition to plug every city street, camera and piece of infrastructure into a digital grid. Huawei's aim, said analyst Soh, is to become the "nerve center" for smart cities. Police in Shenzhen, which is just across the border from Hong Kong, are using Huawei's chips for several traffic cameras. Qiu said a single chip set can process video footage for as many as 16 cameras, a fourfold jump in computing power.

Google launches Thai AI project to screen for diabetic eye disease
BANGKOK (Reuters) - Google said on Thursday it had launched an Artificial Intelligence program in Thailand to screen for a diabetic eye disease which causes permanent blindness.
The eye screening program in Thailand follows a similar Google program in India and highlights a push by big tech companies to show the social benefits of new AI technologies.
"As a society, we have a responsibility to use AI in the best possible way," Kent Walker, the company's Senior Vice President for Global Affairs, said in speech at a Google event in Bangkok on Thursday.
…
In October, Google said it would grant about $25 million globally next year to humanitarian and environmental projects seeking to use AI for good.

Physicist linked to China program
A noted Chinese-born physicist and Stanford University quantum scientist who died Dec. 1 was linked to Beijing's major program to corner the world market in key advanced technologies. Zhang Shoucheng, 55, died in an apparent suicide and had suffered from depression, according to his family.
However, his death came days after a Nov. 30 report by U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer linking the Silicon Valley venture capital firm Danhua Capital, which Zhang founded and led, to China's "Made in China 2025" technology dominance program. The 2025 program was launched in 2015 and has been cited by the Trump administration to show that Beijing is engaged in a strategic program of stealing American know-how. The program is aimed at helping China dominate world markets in advanced technologies, including aerospace, information and communications technology, robotics, industrial machinery, new materials and automobiles.
Stanford said in a statement that Zhang was involved in quantum physics research related to interacting electrons. The research led to predictions of new phenomena and exotic states of matter. He took part in research on novel materials, quantum gravity and Artificial Intelligence. The USTR report said China is using venture capital investment companies, including Danhua, as a new means of securing cutting-edge technologies and intellectual property from the United States. From January to May, Chinese venture capital investment reached nearly $2.4 billion, a record level.

Historic? DeepMind's AlphaZero AI Shows Human-Like Intuition
It's only a chess game this time, but in real life do we really want AI that "readily sacrificed its soldiers for a better position in the skirmish... placing far less value on individual pieces."? Intuition is a characteristic of the human soul, which inert AI can never duplicate. ? TN Editor
DeepMind's Artificial Intelligence programme AlphaZero is now showing signs of human-like intuition and creativity, in what developers have hailed as 'turning point' in history.
The computer system amazed the world last year when it mastered the game of chess from scratch within just four hours, despite not being programmed how to win.
But now, after a year of testing and analysis by chess grandmasters, the machine has developed a new style of play unlike anything ever seen before, suggesting the programme is now improvising like a human.
Unlike the world's best chess machine - Stockfish - which calculates millions of possible outcomes as it plays, AlphaZero learns from its past successes and failures, making its moves based on, a 'nebulous sense that it is all going to work out in the long run,' according to experts at DeepMind.
When AlphaZero was pitted against Stockfish in 1,000 games, it lost just six, winning convincingly 155 times, and drawing the remaining bouts.
Yet it was the way that it played that has amazed developers. While chess computers predominately like to hold on to their pieces, AlphaZero readily sacrificed its soldiers for a better position in the skirmish.
Speaking to The Telegraph, Prof David Silver, who leads the reinforcement learning research group at DeepMind said: "It's got a very subtle sense of intuition which helps it balance out all the different factors.

Q Research General #5439: GOOG & CHINA Edition
Executive tensions led to Google Cloud chief departure, report says
"One source of tension with other leaders within Google was Ms. Greene's efforts to piggyback on other parts of the company's business. She would often seek to make other Google business partnerships and advertising deals contingent on a deal of some kind with the company's cloud unit, according to people briefed on the talks, a strategy she has tried with companies including Salesforce. That sometimes frustrated other department chiefs who felt her unit didn't have the clout to justify those kinds of requests, these people said."
In 2016, Greene reportedly proposed a co-marketing relationship with DeepMind, Alphabet's Artificial Intelligence company, that would enable Google Cloud to market itself as "Powered by DeepMind"

Q Research General #5435: A Glorious Day Edition
It is still unbelievable to me that our senior level government officials were considered enemy combatants. Just unreal. How in the world will the public swallow that?
Pretty easy if real history was taught. Criminal actors in government is the norm, not the exception throughout history. This is why the founders told us the price of freedom would be eternal vigilance.
The job of the criminals is to lie to the people and convince them that "OUR government would NEVER......"
They took over the schools and the main media corporations globally, because they are the enemy of all of the people, and, if you know anything about battle, the first thing you want to do is destroy or take over enemy communications.
Think... book burning in the low tech days. This has been going on forever.
Of course the globalist enemies paid to take over the government. They actually got to the point where nearly every elected official was able to be blackmailed, by making sure no one ran unless they COULD be blackmailed. Just look at the record number of sudden resignations by elected members of congress this year? A record number. They are being let off the hook.
Americans will have to be shown all of this evidence of crime, and we need to burn the globalist lying history books. All of the primary sources dug up here by patriotic Americans need to make up the pages of those high school history books now, not the lies of the enemies of the US.
MSM will straighten up if they want to live.
How will the people swallow it? Trust me, the things we have uncovered here will have normal everyday Americans trying to hang the criminals without a tribunal, especially when they find out what the corrupt governments around the states have been doing to the "missing children" and the children who have been "taken" without due process, by the so called "children's services".
Like Q said. Someday it will not be safe for them to walk down the street.
This is not going to be fun, but the public needs to wake up. All of the criminal activity has been documented due to the tracking of everything people do by the surveillance system on our computers, phone, email, and text. It was built by the bad guys and originally intended to be used on we the people.
All tyrannical forms of government must have a surveillance system so they can spot and eliminate their enemy freedom fighters early. That is what they have been building with all this "Artificial Intelligence".
Americans might not have privacy right now, but, the criminal acting is being recorded just the same.
Too bad for the evil ones. Evidence is evidence.
We only have one chance to rip up their control systems, try them, and hang every one of them. We only have one chance to get back everything they have stolen from the people of the world with their crimes, and give it back to the world.
If they get back in power, it will be WWIII. THAT is what they need to stop the all of us around the world.
We are using their own weapons of tyranny against them. This will be great, not just for America, but for the people of the world who have been abused for far too long by these globalist criminals who have financed both sides of every war since Napoleon, on the record, and farther back off record most likely.
This also shows why people of the world should put a "global government" out of their minds forever.
Right now, we can come to the aid of other nations, and they can come to our aid.
When tyranny hits under a global scale, there is no one who can come to help.

This is What The "Trade" War With China Is Really All About
https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-12-10/what-trade-war-china-really-about
Forget soybeans, auto imports, iPhones, crude oil, and cheap Chinese gadgets. Also forget tariffs, duties, and subsidies. Even forget weapons.
The real reason behind the US-China "trade" war has little to do with actual trade, and everything to do with what China's president, Xi Jinping, said when he visited a memory chip plant in the city of Wuhan earlier this year. In a white lab coat, he made an unexpectedly sentimental remark, comparing a computer chip to a human heart: "No matter how big a person is, he or she can never be strong without a sound and strong heart".
What is really at the basis of the ongoing civilizational conflict between the US and China, a feud which many say has gradually devolved into a new cold war if few top politicians are willing to call it for what it is, are China's ambitions to be a leader in next-generation technology, such as Artificial Intelligence, which rest on whether or not it can design and manufacture cutting-edge chips, and is why Xi has pledged at least $150 billion to build up the sector.
But, as the FT notes, China's plan has alarmed the US, and chips, or semiconductors, have become the central battlefield in the trade war between the two countries. And it is a battle in which China has a very visible Achilles heel.

"His goal is for human Intelligence to expand and develop in the same way that Artificial Intelligence has in recent years. The first experiments planned will be on memory. Johnson is working with Theodore Berger, at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, who is looking at the hippocampus - a brain region key for memory."

$100 million project to make Intelligence-boosting brain implant
https://www.newscientist.com/article/2109868-100-million-project-to-make-Intelligence-boosting-brain-implant/
Bryan Johnson (entrepreneur)
Kernel
Johnson started Kernel in 2016, making a personal investment of $100 million.[31] The company's goal is to build an implantable device to improve brain function in humans, such as memory, while interfacing with Artificial Intelligence (AI). Initially, the company is focusing on applications for patients with neurodegeneration such as memory loss.[32]
Patients with epilepsy are among the first to test the technology, which relies on algorithms that mimic the brain's natural electrical signals to improve communication between brain cells. Kernel refers to itself as a "human Intelligence (HI) company"; Johnson, who has written that the combination of HI and AI will prove to be of great importance for the future of humanity, says his longterm objective is to improve both Intelligence and quality of life as human lifespans grow longer.[33][34]
The industry has attracted investment from technology notables such as Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. But some in the scientific community, noting the complexity of the effort and humans' limited knowledge of the brain, have questioned whether the effort will succeed.[10][35]

Q Research General #5404: THE FIGHT TO SAVE THE WORLD Edition
Skynet is also the name of an Artificial Intelligence in the movie Terminator with Arnold Schwarzenegger. SKYNET is the name of a NSA surveillance program as well. The NSA Database in Utah is regulating all of the modern electronics in the United States which are emitting electromagnetic frequencies used for mind control or manipulation on individuals and on the masses. HAARP is also used for mass mind control or mental influence and is regulated by the USAF. These satellites and modern electronics are radiating an Artificial Intelligence which is saturating the atmosphere and influencing the minds of society. The royal and noble families use their Jesuit or Freemasonic agents to infiltrate military and Intelligence agencies which run these programs.
The Zionist Sanhedrin
The Zionist Sanhedrin are the mathematical or geometrical programmers of society. Zion is what they call their Artificial Intelligence program radiated into society.
Rome uses priests, rabbis, and imams to develop the algorithms and programs for mind control used in media, Hollywood, and music. These geometric programs are also used with electromagnetic frequencies radiated from wireless frequencies, modern electronics, and the overall electronic grid in society like smart meters and transformers. The large electronic stations are radiating geometric sigils into society. In witchcraft they use hexagrams and pentagrams for binding.
HAARP is also used for mass mind control and is radiating geometrically designed programs into the atmosphere which resonate all around us. Vibrations effect more than what is seen like cause and effect. Radiating these frequencies into the atmosphere is like throwing a stone into a pool of water which creates ripples and effects.
They use chemtrails for various purposes including enhancing their electromagnetic frequencies with nano conductive particles which they call "smart dust". The US military uses spray on antennas and chemtrails function in a similar way.They are creating an Artificial mind control matrix in the lower atmosphere. This is what Zion really is. The primary mainframe to Zion is the NSA Database which regulates all modern electronics. The USAF regulates HAARP.
Members of the Zionist Sanhedrin include Rabbi Yosef Yitzhak and Rabbi David Lau as well as other Zionist Rabbis. High level members in the Jesuits and Freemasons are also members.

Q Research General #5356: "Now It's A Whole New Ballgame" Edition
https://www.cnet.com/news/google-partnership-with-huawei-worring-us-lawmakers/
The scrutiny over Chinese phone maker Huawei continues to intensify.
US lawmakers on Wednesday sent a letter to Google CEO Sundar Pichai expressing concerns regarding Huawei's ties with the Chinese government. The lawmakers said the strategic partnership between Google and Huawei on instant messaging, announced in January, poses serious threats to US national security and consumers.
The letter also addressed Google's recent refusal to renew a research partnership, Project Maven, with the Department of Defense. The project used Artificial Intelligence to improve the accuracy of US military targeting such as drone strikes. Google's participation in the project elicited a strong backlash over its involvement in the project.
"We urge you to reconsider Google's partnership with Huawei, particularly since your company recently refused to renew a key research partnership, Project Maven, with the Department of Defense," the letter said. "While we regret that Google did not want to continue a long and fruitful tradition of collaboration between the military and technology companies, we are even more disappointed that Google apparently is more willing to support the Chinese Communist Party than the US military."
The letter is the latest hammer to drop on Chinese telecom giants Huawei and ZTE, which have both long dealt with security concerns regarding their ties to the Communist Party. AT&T and Verizon both dropped plans to sell Huawei phones after government pressure, and ZTE faced a ban preventing US businesses to work with it until President Donald Trump intervened. US Intelligence officials have expressed concerns about the security of their products.
The signees include Republicans, Sen. Tom Cotton, Sen. Marco Rubio, Rep. Liz Cheney and Rep. K. Michael Conaway, and Democratic Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger.
"Congress is considering a number of bipartisan measures to address the threat posed by Huawei," lawmakers wrote in the letter. "Over the coming months, the federal government will likely take further measures to defend US telecommunications networks from Huawei and companies like it."
Google said it looks forward to responding to the lawmakers' questions.
"Like many US companies, we have agreements with dozens of OEMs around the world, including Huawei," a Google representative said. "We do not provide special access to Google user data as part of these agreements, and our agreements include privacy and security protections for user data."

Huawei's CFO Arrested at U.S. Request, Sparking Outrage in China
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-12-05/huawei-cfo-arrested-in-canada-as-u-s-seeks-her-extradition
Huawei Technologies Co.'s chief financial officer was arrested in Canada over potential violations of U.S. sanctions on Iran, provoking outrage from China and complicating thorny trade negotiations just as they enter a critical juncture.
China's embassy in Canada demanded the U.S. and its neighbor "rectify wrongdoings" and free Wanzhou Meng, who is also deputy chairwoman and the daughter of Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei. U.S. equity futures and Asian stocks slid as the episode reignited concerns about U.S.-Chinese tensions.
Meng's arrest is likely to be regarded back home as an attack on one of China's foremost corporate champions. While Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. and Tencent Holdings Ltd. dominate headlines thanks to flashy growth and high-profile billionaire founders, Ren's company is by far China's most global technology company, with operations spanning Africa, Europe and Asia.
China wants the U.S. and Canada "to clarify the grounds for the detention, to release the detainee and earnestly safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the person involved," Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said Thursday at a press briefing.
Meng faces extradition to the U.S., said Ian McLeod, a Canada Justice Department spokesman, declining to elaborate. She was arrested Dec. 1 after the U.S. Department of Justice in April opened an investigation into whether the leading telecommunications-equipment maker sold gear to Iran despite sanctions on exports to the region.
The U.S. Department of Justice didn't immediately respond to a request for comment Thursday.
Meng's arrest came on the day that Donald Trump and Xi Jinping dined in Buenos Aires, setting in motion a truce in the rising U.S.-China trade tensions. But Huawei itself already had been a flashpoint between Washington and Beijing.
Huawei's ambitions span Artificial Intelligence and chipmaking to fifth-generation wireless. That last effort, a massive push into the future of mobile and internet communications, has raised hackles in the U.S. and become a focal point for American attempts to contain China's ascendancy. Shares in several of its suppliers, from Sunny Optical Technology Group Co. and Largan Precision Co. to MediaTek Inc., fell.

Air Force Wants AI Tools to Solve Surveillance Data Glut
Herein lies the problem: Surveillance produces a tsunami of data that cannot be analyzed fast enough without a) supercomputers and b) Artificial Intelligence. Technocrats are in their element. ? TN Editor
Like other military services and Department of Defense components, the Air Force is finding itself overloaded these days with streaming Intelligence data, and is looking to machine learning and Artificial Intelligence to help its analysts quickly put all that information to practical use.
Specifically, the service is looking to fuse Multi-Intelligence, or Multi-INT, which can consist of data in multiple formats from manned and unmanned aircraft, satellites, and ground stations, as well as other sources. The volume and variety of that data can leave analysts unable to parse it all and knowledgeably help inform the decision-making process. So the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) has issued a Request for Information looking for input from industry, academia, and other government labs on applicable tools that are available or in development.

Microsoft vows to hand over all its technologies to 'ethical & honorable' US military
As big tech in the US faces increased opposition from its own employees over Pentagon contracts, the head of Microsoft Corporation appears to have decided to throw his weight behind the US military and to offer them full support.
Microsoft is "going to provide the US military with access to the best technology … all the technology we create. Full stop," Brad Smith, the president of the tech giant, said at the Reagan National Defense Forum, held at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California.
Smith also sought to explain his decision, saying his company actually wants "Silicon Valley to know just how ethical and honorable a tradition the military has." He argued that the military should not be left out of global technological progress in the field of Artificial Intelligence, which is "of importance to everybody and not just young people who happen to live on the West Coast."
However, he was still unable to totally ignore the ethical concerns expressed by Microsoft employees, amid the growing opposition to the tech giant's cooperation with the Pentagon among the company's own staff members.
"There is some angst" among "some" workforces, Smith admitted, adding that Microsoft would "engage to address the ethical issues that new technology is creating." However, he did not say a word about Microsoft potentially changing its policies following the employees' concerns.

As tech companies such as Google wrestle with employee objections to working with the U.S. military, Microsoft Corp.'s president is throwing his company's support behind the Pentagon.
Microsoft is "going to provide the U.S. military with access to the best technology ... all the technology we create. Full stop," Brad Smith said Saturday during a panel at the Reagan National Defense Forum at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley.
Smith acknowledged that "there is some angst" in some workforces, including Microsoft's, about tech companies' involvement in military contracts.
In June, after thousands of employees voiced objections to a contract that allowed the military to use Google's Artificial Intelligence tools to analyze drone footage, Google decided not to renew the contract.
Smith said he wanted to quell such concerns. "We want Silicon Valley to know just how ethical and honorable a tradition the military has," he said.
The future and use of Artificial Intelligence and autonomous systems have broad implications, he said, and are "of importance to everybody and not just young people who happen to live on the West Coast."
Smith expressed openness to hearing his workers' opinions, saying that Microsoft would "engage to address the ethical issues that new technology is creating."

ISS robot accuses crew of being mean
International Space Station bot CIMON likes Kraftwerk and astronauts who are nice.
CIMON the AI robot and ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst pose together on the ISS.
ESA/NASA
"Be nice, please," a free-floating robotic face tells ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst in a video released by the European Space Agency on Friday.
CIMON (Crew Interactive Mobile Companion) is an Alexa-like robot stuffed with IBM Watson Artificial Intelligence. It arrived on the International Space Station earlier this year.
The robot is meant to assist the human crew members with tasks, provide some entertainment and boost morale. The ESA video shows Gerst's first interactions with the machine, and some of them are a little strange.
It starts off innocently enough with CIMON responding politely to Gerst's commands. The robot engages in small talk. Gerst asks it to play his favorite song, which turns out to be "The Man-Machine" by German electronic band Kraftwerk.
Things take a turn as CIMON starts to question the intentions of his human companions. "Don't you like it here with me?" it asks Gerst as NASA astronaut Serena Auñón-Chancellor watches from nearby. "Don't be so mean, please," CIMON says, earning an astonished look from Auñón-Chancellor.

Pentagon Looks to Exoskeletons to Build 'Super-Soldiers'
The U.S. Army is investing millions of dollars in experimental exoskeleton technology to make soldiers stronger and more resilient, in what experts say is part of a broader push into advanced gear to equip a new generation of "super-soldiers."
The technology is being developed by Lockheed Martin Corp with a license from Canada-based B-TEMIA, which first developed the exoskeletons to help people with mobility difficulties stemming from medical ailments like multiple sclerosis and severe osteoarthritis.
Worn over a pair of pants, the battery-operated exoskeleton uses a suite of sensors, Artificial Intelligence and other technology to aid natural movements.

Alibaba and Jack Ma are to China what Google and Eric Schmidt are to the U.S. Both are billionaires, both push dystopia cities and both are closely tied to their government. Note that Schmidt was appointed head of a Pentagon committee designed to integrate Silicon Valley into the Intelligence services. ? TN Editor
News that tech giant Ma is a member of Communist party of China should set alarm bells ringing - and not just in China.
On the outskirts of Hangzhou, eastern China, in Alibaba's Cloud Town, a Silicon Valley-style working and leisure hub, cutting-edge research in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and smart city developments at one of China's largest tech companies are showcased. It is a half-empty dystopia of almost comic proportions where the future of automation and infrastructure in southern China is played out. While Alibaba exhibitions and conferences occur sporadically, the full scope of what goes on there remains hidden.
Having long claimed to be apolitical, Jack Ma, the billionaire co-founder and executive chairman of the tech giant Alibaba, was recently revealed to be a member of the ruling Communist party of China (CCP). It's another in a long list of links between corporate and state apparatus that stretch far beyond the borders of China. Nevertheless, a glimpse into the projects the company is working on in Cloud Town, considered in light of these revelations, should set the alarm bells ringing with fear of a dystopian future of state and corporate control.

In spite of the Backpage.com shutdown, sex ads abound
In April, the federal government shut down the classified ad website Backpage.com, holding the site responsible for users' posts hawking illicit transactions - particularly, escort services.
The number of online sex ads dropped significantly following the site's shuttering, but experts say posts offering prostitution are already back in full force through other forums.
What are the details?
According to software firm Marinus Analytics, Backpage had around 133,000 sex ads posted on its site the month before the operation was closed. The researchers then took a look at existing U.S. escort websites and tracked them from mid-September to mid-October, finding that there were roughly 146,000 sex ads online during that time period, ABC News reported.
Marinus Analystics president and co-founder, Emily Kennedy, told ABC News that several escort sites have ramped up its operations, seeing the absence of Backpage as an opportunity to expand its market share.
"They're really competing with each other for that spot now and so we're seeing frequent activity at this point," Kennedy said, adding that as long as it's a lucrative endeavor, "people are going to figure out a way to advertise it."
Anything else?
Earlier this year, President Donald Trump signed into law the Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act of 2017, which was a House bill that was combined with the Senate's Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act. The law is now known as SESTA/FOSTA.
SESTA/FOSTA holds website owners and managers liable for operating "an interactive computer service...with the intent to promote or facilitate the prostitution of another person."
Websites like Craigslist and Reddit have removed their personal ad pages without much of a fight against the government's crackdown. But adult sex workers and their advocates are pushing back against the legislation - even organizing to protest it - insisting that digital platforms give them added protection while vetting clients.
Several law enforcement investigators argue that dismantling known escort sites hinders their efforts to find sex trafficking victims, as prostitution rings retreat back underground and use alternative avenues for offering services.
Rob Spectre, CEO and founder of a company that utilizes Artificial Intelligence to fight against online sex trafficking told ABC News that in the past, investigators could use a photo of a suspected victim and search for them in ads on sites like Backpage. Now that they're gone, Spectre said, using that method is going to be "very difficult."

China is "Loaded" money spent on this project
China's 5G Technology is a National Security / Military/ threat or issue for us....remote controlled drones, etc. The consequences or remifications of this could be huge!!!
United States national security officials considered building a secure 5G network to guard against China, a cybersecurity and economic threat, according to a memo and Powerpoint slides leaked to the media. The nationalized 5G plan did not enthuse the U.S. wireless industry. The Federal Communications Commission leadership also opposed the idea of a government-controlled network.
On Jan. 31, ZTE Corp, a leading Chinese telecommunications equipment maker, announced plans to raise 13 billion yuan ($2.1 billion) for 5G development. ZTE also plans to invest 42.9 billion yuan over three years in 5G technology as it pushes to be among the first companies to build a 5G network by 2020.
China's response to America's 5G push underscores the worries expressed in the leaked documents. The documents described China as "the dominant malicious actor in the Information Domain," and presented the nationalized 5G plan as a "moonshot" to helping America win the information "arms race" against China. China, the documents notes, is carrying out a "21st Century Manhattan Project" with manufacturing and economic plans aimed at gaining market dominance in Artificial Intelligence, robotics, and other spheres. China is also building up a "strategic reserve" of data. If the U.S. government builds a 5G network, it can ensure network security in America, and even help "inoculate" developing countries against "Chinese neo-colonial behavior," according to the documents
The U.S. 5G documents also do not overstate the China threat. People's Liberation Army (PLA) cyber units have successfully hacked U.S. businesses, government networks, and infrastructure companies in recent years, a phenomenon observed by the U.S. government and private security companies. A U.S. Congressional report noted that telecommunications equipment by Chinese makers Huawei and ZTE could be used for "spying and other malicious purposes."
Meanwhile, the Federal Bureau of Investigation considers China's state-sponsored economic espionage the "most predominant threat" facing the U.S., and notes that Chinese hacking costs the American economy hundreds of billions each year. The U.S. is not the only country targeted by the CCP. In January, the African Union (AU) accused China of hacking its headquarters and downloading classified data every night for the past five years.
The AU building was constructed by the Chinese and presented as a "gift" to improve Sino-African relations. If China wins the global 5G race, it will have enormous leverage to intensify its cyber espionage and subversion plans to disastrous consequences for the U.S. and the world.
Unrivaled China technological dominance could lead to severe outcomes.
Pentagon consultant Michael Pillsbury wrote in The Hundred-Year Marathon that the PLA would trump U.S. forces in war games scenarios where it used unconventional warfare methods and technology.
In the novel Ghost Fleet, authors P.W. Singer and August Cole hypothesize a future war where a Chinese military outfitted with next-generation fighter drones, and hacker militias defeat a U.S. military force whose high-tech equipment containing Chinese electronics malfunctions in battle. Chinese control of American satellites also makes U.S. military maneuvers difficult in the story. Fiction and war-gaming paint a cautionary "what if" scenario for when an "Americanized" PLA utilizing asymmetrical hybrid warfare tactics, advanced AI, Big Data, and 5G networks decides to flex its muscles.
And technological advances may very well embolden the CCP to consider the military option to further its expansionism.

Dangers of 5G and IOT to track Americans and freight via Chinese-built rail cars

Stop China's Infiltration of US Railroads
ByJohn Adams
November 26, 2018
America shouldn't be buying Chinese railcars, ceding control of its rail industry, or injecting spyware-laden rolling stock into its transportation network.
A myriad of problems has led to a "surprising level of foreign dependence on competitor nations," according to the White House's long-awaited report [SEE LINK BELOW] on the severe challenges facing our manufacturing and defense industrial base. A look at one field - manufacturing the railroad cars that carry America's commuters and freight - reveals growing dangers that demand urgent action.
Transportation is among the priority sectors under the Made in China 2025 industrial policy, which aims to help Chinese firms in various sectors reach the highest levels of the global manufacturing chain. In the business of railcars, the banner is being carried by China Railway Rolling Stock Corporation, a massive state-owned conglomerate with deep ties to the Communist Party of China.
CRRC has set up two U.S. subsidiaries - CRRC MA in Massachusetts and CRRC Sifang Americas in Chicago - and pursues U.S. contracts with predatory zeal. Since 2014, the company has been awarded four contracts totaling $2.5 billion to build metro cars for the cities of Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, and Los Angeles. In each case, CRRC used massive subsidies and other resources from the Chinese government to dramatically underbid its competitors -regularly by 20 percent or more. In one case, the Chinese bid was half as much as another competitor. To have any company consistently come in so low is unheard of.
It is clear that these bids aim not for short-term profit, but medium-term market domination. The pattern was set in Australia, where it took less than a decade for China to gain control of the freight-railcar market. A recently deleted tweet by CRRC boasted that the company controls 83 percent of the global rail market and asked followers, "How long will it take for us conquering [sic] the remaining 17 percent?"
But the increasing presence of made-in-China rolling stock on North American rails means more than the loss of manufacturing jobs. Modern railcars are not just boxes on wheels, but full-fledged parts of the Internet of Things that soak up and transmit information.
The commuter trains manufactured by CRRC will contain Wi-Fi systems, automatic train control, automatic passenger counters, surveillance cameras and internet-of-things technology that will be deeply integrated into the information and communication technology infrastructure of transit authorities, all sole-sourced from a Chinese state-owned enterprise. Chinese surveillance cameras could track the movements and routines of passengers, searching for high-value targets from whose devices Intelligence officials can vacuum data from using the train's Wi-Fi systems. This is not an unrealistic prospect. Already, China is openly developing a system of "algorithmic surveillance" that uses advances in Artificial Intelligence and facial recognition technology to enable the Chinese Communist Party to monitor the movements and patterns of its own citizens, purportedly to fight crime.
The risks are even sharper in freight cars, whose onboard GPS systems and telematics monitor the contents and health of trains carrying sensitive cargo such as toxic chemicals and military equipment. If China is allowed to insert its railcars into U.S. freight networks, it could give Beijing early and reliable warning about U.S. military mobilization and logistical preparations for conflict. It could also give China a destabilizing economic competitive edge, by detecting, say, shortages of critical material such as oil or chlorine gas based on a change in their movements on freight railroads.
As well, Chinese internet-connected products on U.S. rails could be designed to be more susceptible to cyber-attack or hacking by third parties, as has been done with numerous other products.

Thought Police: British Cops Are Building AI Program That Will Stop Crimes That Haven't Been Committed
A dystopian future awaits humanity if we cannot realize the dangers of programs such as the one the British police are working on. The cops want to create an Artificial Intelligence program the will somehow stop crimes before they've been committed, aka, the thought police.
Police in the United Kingdom are piloting a project that uses Artificial Intelligence to determine how likely someone is to commit or be a victim of a serious crime. These include crimes involving a gun or knife, as well as modern slavery, New Scientist reported on Monday. Ironically, the police creating the program don't see government as modern slavery, yet that's exactly what it is.
The West Midlands Police department is heading the trial project through the end of March 2019. They are expected to have a prototype at that time. There are eight other police departments reportedly involved as well, and the hope is to eventually expand its use to all police departments in the UK.
According to Gizmodo, the program is dubbed the National Data Analytics Solution (NDAS), the system pulls data from local and national police databases. Ian Donnelly, the police lead on the project, told New Scientist that they have collected over a terabyte of data from these systems already, including logs of committed crimes and about 5 million identifiable people.

'Minority Report' now a reality? UK police to use AI in war on 'pre-crime'
UK police are touting Artificial Intelligence as a solution to the problems of modern law enforcement, reassuring naysayers that the use of "pre-crime" algorithms will be restricted to offering "counseling" to likely offenders.
Suggesting that budget cuts have rendered mere human police incapable of doing their jobs without cybernetic help, project lead Iain Donnelly claims working with an AI system will allow the force to do more with less. He insists that the National Data Analytics Solution, as it's called, will target only those individuals already known to have criminal tendencies, sniffing out likely offenders to divert them with therapeutic "interventions," including individuals who are stopped and searched but never arrested or charged.
Donnelly claims the program is not designed to "pre-emptively arrest" anyone, but to provide "support from local health or social workers," giving the example of an individual with a history of mental health problems being flagged as a likely violent offender, then contacted by social services. Given that a violent mental case would almost certainly react negatively to being contacted out of nowhere by a mysterious social worker - and that a history of mental health problems is not in itself criminal - Donnelly was wise to end his example there.
"Interventions" will be offered only to potential offenders, but the NDAS claims to be able to pick their victims as well. It combines statistics from multiple agencies with AI machine learning to assess an individual's risk of committing or being victimized by gun or knife crime, or "falling victim to modern slavery," according to documents obtained by the New Scientist.
The NDAS isolated almost 1,400 "indicators" of future criminality in a population sample of five million, analyzing more than a terabyte's worth of data from local and national police databases, and zeroed in on 30 particularly effective markers, including the number of crimes committed by people in one's social group, the number of crimes committed "with the help of others," and an individual's age at first offense. This data was then used to predict when an individual already known to the police was planning to re-offend, and assigned a "risk score" accordingly.
West Midlands Police hope to begin generating predictions with the NDAS in early 2019, working hand-in-glove with the Information Commissioner's Office to ensure privacy regulations are "respected." The program's designers hope to see it adopted throughout the UK; London's Metropolitan Police and Greater Manchester Police are also reportedly on board.
The Turing Institute found "serious ethical issues" with the NDAS, stating the program fails to fully recognize "important issues," despite its good intentions, and that "inaccurate prediction is a concern." Given that predictive policing is based on existing patterns of stops, arrests, and convictions - including in individuals never found guilty or even charged with a crime - it can only "reinforce bias," since it is incapable of expanding the pool of suspects beyond those tagged as suspicious by human officers.
A kinder, gentler Minority Report may sound harmless, but predictive policing algorithms like the US's PredPol have already demonstrated an inherent racial and class bias, creating "feedback loops" that amplify officers' own prejudices. Given the biases many believe are hard-coded into the criminal justice system, it's difficult to see how an AI could completely break free of its programmers' preconceptions.

Google Employees Push to Stop Project Dragonfly
Eleven employees comprising engineers and managers at Alphabet Inc's Google published an open letter on Nov. 27, demanding that the company end development of a censored search engine for Chinese users, escalating earlier protests against the secretive project.
Google has described the search app, known as Project Dragonfly, as an experiment not close to launching. But as details of it have leaked since August, current and former employees, human rights activists and U.S. lawmakers have criticized Google for not taking a harder line against the Chinese regime's policy that politically sensitive results be blocked.
Human rights group Amnesty International also launched a public petition on Tuesday calling on Google to cancel Dragonfly. The organization said it would encourage Google workers to sign the petition by targeting them on LinkedIn and protesting outside Google offices.
About 1,400 of Google's tens of thousands of workers urged the company in August to improve oversight of ethically questionable ventures, including Dragonfly. They sent a letter to the company leadership, saying Dragonfly broke the company's ethics rules for Artificial Intelligence development. They also demanded transparency, saying the secretive development of Dragonfly denied them information "to make ethically-informed decisions about our work, our projects, and our employment." The text of the letter was published by Gizmodo.
Google has long sought to have a bigger presence in China, the world's largest internet market. It needs government approval to compete with the country's dominant homegrown internet services.
The employees who signed their names on Tuesday's letter said they had seen little progress, and expect more colleagues to publicly back the push to cancel Dragonfly.
The letter expresses concern about the Chinese regime's tracking dissidents through search data and suppressing truth through content restrictions.
"We object to technologies that aid the powerful in oppressing the vulnerable, wherever they may be," the employees said in the letter published on blogging service Medium.
The Chinese communist regime runs the world's most sophisticated system of internet censorship and requires foreign companies to censor topics it deems "sensitive," such as democracy, human rights, and the ongoing persecution in China of Tibetans, Falun Gong practitioners, human rights activists, and others. Companies are also forced to share with the regime any data stored in China.

China's Brave New World Of AI.
You are standing in line waiting to board your regular afternoon flight home. You give your boarding pass to the check-in attendant and suddenly a light flashes on the board. The attendant says, "Sorry, we can't allow you on this plane because you have a history of treatment for alcohol abuse which the airlines consider makes you a travel risk." Or because a data link to the police department indicates you have multiple unpaid parking tickets. Or perhaps, you have a history of trying to visit websites the government has deemed troublesome or even dangerous, or because surveillance cameras happened to catch you entering a building where a vociferous critic of the government has his office.
This fictional scenario is now a daily reality in the People's Republic of China, thanks to a massive police surveillance apparatus powered by Big Data and Artificial Intelligence. For example, trains now require national ID's to buy tickets, which allows the government to block human rights activists or anti-corruption journalists from traveling. In Xinjiang province, home of China's Uighur Moslem minority, the government uses AI-sifted Big Data to scrutinize anyone entering a mosque or even a shopping mall thanks to thousands of checkpoints requiring a national ID check-in-and which can collate real-time data with other personal information on everything from bank accounts to family planning.
This is the Brave New World of Chinese AI, as described by a new article in MIT Technology Review. It's a scenario that raises chills, and not just for lovers of civil liberties. The U.S. has been the center of AI research, going back to the 1950's. The danger is that we may be losing that leadership to a country which has no compunctions about the dark side of "machine learning" and AI. So while Americans are still stuck in a sterile debate over whether AI is going lead to a Terminator-style Rise of the Machines takeover of the world, the Chinese have been pressing ahead with a technology that is cementing the Communist Party's total control of the country and its population, but will also revolutionize military affairs as decisively as gunpowder or the airplane.

Research will 'maximise societal benefits and tackle ethical concerns'
"A small number of large corporations are today the powerhouses behind the development of sophisticated Artificial Intelligence. The inauguration of the partnership on AI is a very welcome step towards ensuring this technology is used wisely," he said.
Ralf Herbrich, the director of machine learning science and core machine learning at Amazon, said: "We're in a golden age of machine learning and AI. This partnership will ensure we're including the best and the brightest in this space in the conversation to improve customer trust and benefit society."
In a joint statement from Suleyman and Google's Greg Corrado, the pair said they "strongly support an open, collaborative process for developing AI.
"This group is a huge step forward, breaking down barriers for AI teams to share best practices, research ways to maximise societal benefits and tackle ethical concerns, and make it easier for those in other fields to engage with everyone's work. We're really proud of how this has come together, and we're looking forward to working with everyone inside and outside the Partnership on Artificial Intelligence to make sure AI has the broad and transformative impact we all want to see."
Facebook's director of AI research, Yann LeCun, said: "By openly collaborating with our peers and sharing findings, we aim to push new boundaries every day, not only within Facebook, but across the entire research community."
IBM's Francesca Rossi added: "This partnership will provide consumer and industrial users of cognitive systems a vital voice in the advancement of the defining technology of this century - one that will foster collaboration between people and machines to solve some of the world's most enduring problems - in a way that is both trustworthy and beneficial."

Intelligence (AI)
'Partnership on AI' formed by Google, Facebook, Amazon, IBM and Microsoft
Google, Facebook, Amazon, IBM and Microsoft are joining forces to create a new AI partnership dedicated to advancing public understanding of the sector, as well as coming up with standards for future researchers to abide by.
Going by the unwieldy name of the Partnership on Artificial Intelligence to Benefit People and Society, the alliance isn't a lobbying organisation (at least, it says it "does not intend" to lobby government bodies). Instead, it says it will "conduct research, recommend best practices, and publish research under an open license in areas such as ethics, fairness and inclusivity; transparency, privacy, and interoperability; collaboration between people and AI systems; and the trustworthiness, reliability and robustness of the technology".
There will be equal representation between corporate and non-corporate members on the board of the partnership, and it hopes to invite "academics, non-profits and specialists in policy and ethics" to join.

has officially launched Gradient Ventures, a new firm within Google that will invest in early-stage Artificial Intelligence start-ups.
The announcement on Tuesday is the latest sign of Alphabet's growing interest in AI, a futuristic technology that's also gaining significance at Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Microsoft. Axios reported on the new program in May, but the details were not yet public.
Gradient will invest in 10 to 15 deals this year and will typically commit $1 million to $8 million in each, said Anna Patterson, founder and managing director of the firm.
"If we're really going to help AI happen faster, we needed to be more involved in the community," said Patterson, who's spent about a decade at Google working on Android, search, advertising and AI. "That's why we decided to do this – to spur innovation in the AI space."
But Gradient isn't just another Silicon Valley funding source for start-ups, or even a typical corporate venture capital group. Alphabet already has GV (formerly Google Ventures), which backs start-ups at all stages, and CapitalG (formerly Google Capital), which invests in later-stage companies.

Google and Facebook Join Forces on AI Tech
Tech giant Google and social media giant Facebook are reportedly teaming up to develop new Artificial Intelligence technology.
Fortune.com reports that Facebook and Google are combining their efforts in order to make Facebook's open source machine learning PyTorch framework integrate with Google's Tensor Processing Unit (TPU), a custom computer chip used for machine learning. The development of the TPU integration marks an interesting occasion in which two tech competitors have chosen to work with each other rather than against.
Google Cloud director of product management Rajen Sheth wrote in a blog post: "Today, we're pleased to announce that engineers on Google's TPU team are actively collaborating with core PyTorch developers to connect PyTorch to Cloud TPUs. The long-term goal is to enable everyone to enjoy the simplicity and flexibility of PyTorch while benefiting from the performance, scalability, and cost-efficiency of Cloud TPUs."
Joseph Spisak, Facebook's product manager for Artificial Intelligence, said in a statement: "Engineers on Google's Cloud TPU team are in active collaboration with our PyTorch team to enable support for PyTorch 1.0 models on this custom hardware."
Information Services Group principal analyst Blair Hanley Frank commented on the announcement that the two tech firms would be working on A.I. technology together stating: "Data scientists and machine learning engineers have a wide variety of open source tools to choose from today when it comes to developing intelligent systems. This announcement is a critical step to help ensure more people have access to the best hardware and software capabilities to create AI models."
Frank stated that he expects to see "more collaboration like this to crop up in the AI market." He continued to note that: "Expanding framework support can help cloud providers like AWS, Google and Microsoft drive additional usage of their platforms. That means it makes sense for them to support as broad a set of development tools as possible, to try and attract as many customers as they can."
Facebook also stated that while they're working with Google, Amazon and Microsoft are also "deepening their investment" in the PyTorch software.

Battle of the brains
Google leads in the race to dominate Artificial Intelligence
Tech giants are investing billions in a transformative technology
COMMANDING the plot lines of Hollywood films, covers of magazines and reams of newsprint, the contest between Artificial Intelligence (AI) and mankind draws much attention. Doomsayers warn that AI could eradicate jobs, break laws and start wars. But such predictions concern the distant future. The competition today is not between humans and machines but among the world's technology giants, which are investing feverishly to get a lead over each other in AI.
An exponential increase in the availability of digital data, the force of computing power and the brilliance of algorithms has fuelled excitement about this formerly obscure corner of computer science. The West's largest tech firms, including Alphabet (Google's parent), Amazon, Apple, Facebook, IBM and Microsoft are investing huge sums to develop their AI capabilities, as are their counterparts in China. Although it is difficult to separate tech firms' investments in AI from other kinds, so far in 2017 (see chart 1) companies globally have completed around $21.3bn in mergers and acquisitions related to AI, according to PitchBook, a data provider, or around 26 times more than in 2015.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai
Google has established a new organization to invest in Artificial Intelligence startups, according to a new report. The new effort shows Google taking its experience with venture capital and applying it to AI, a type of computing that it has been increasingly using across its applications.
The new organization will be separate from Google parent company Alphabet's funding activity within GV (formerly Google Ventures) and CapitalG (formerly Google Capital), Axios reported on Friday. Google itself has also made venture investments on its own.
Google chief executive Sundar Pichai in the past year has started positioning the company as being "AI first" as opposed to being "mobile first." Having an investment group focusing on that does make sense given that thesis.
Google has dedicated AI research groups including DeepMind, whose AlphaGo AI Go player earlier this week beat the top human Go player, Ke Jie. Google uses AI in its search engine, Gmail, Google Maps, Google Photos, and Google Translate, among other things.
Startups who take on funding from the new group can receive mentorship, as well as services and space to operate, Axios said.
AI startups have many places to go to for money, including other corporate venture arms and institutional venture capital firms. But having backing from the new group could provide a particular mark of legitimacy at a time when so many startups today claim to be using AI.

NATO mapping software now available to Chinese military, report finds
China has obtained cutting-edge mapping software used by NATO and US militaries to collect Intelligence on the battlefield, putting its armed forces on equal footing with the most advanced Western armies, a report says.
A Belgium-based defense contractor Luciad has sold the software to China, according to the South China Morning Post (SCMP) citing Chinese government sources. The software, which includes a Luciad Lightspeed application, is used to map the terrain and ensure situational awareness of military commanders.
The software, which is in used by NATO and US militaries, visualizes changes in enemy positions and identifies targets in real time. It's 75 times faster than its closest competitor and is remarkably accurate. The same software is reportedly employed by US Special Operations Forces, whose raid on Osama bin Laden in Pakistan made headlines in 2011.
Notably, a foreign company supplying software to the Chinese government must fully reveal its codes for a security check. But it's unclear if Luciad complied with the requirement. Much to the concern of the US military, China has made an array of remarkable breakthroughs in military hi-tech over the past years. Beijing heavily invested in advanced military technologies, nearly outpacing the Americans.
US experts predict China "wants to be a first mover" in Artificial Intelligence, efficiently incorporating the Internet of Things, big data, robotics and machine learning. China's progress in electronic warfare, cyber, counter-space systems and hypersonic weapons also didn't go unnoticed in the West.
The Chinese military is also catching up in an area where Western powers have had unrivaled dominance - airpower. A 2018 edition of Military Balance, a reputed British publication, described China's progress in aerospace defense as "remarkable."
"These advances are all part of the Chinese air force's goal to become capable of challenging any opponent in the air domain. For the past three decades, air dominance has been a key advantage for the US and its allies. This can no longer be assumed," it stated.

China's Orwellian Social Credit Score Isn't Real
Blacklists and monitoring systems are nowhere close to Black Mirror fantasies.
China's sweeping, data-driven "social credit" initiative is sounding alarms. In a speech on Oct. 4, U.S. Vice President Mike Pence described it as "an Orwellian system premised on controlling virtually every facet of human life." But there's a small problem. The system doesn't actually exist-at least as it's generally portrayed.
It's not surprising that myths about the system are spreading, given the shrinking space in China for civil society, rights lawyering, speech, investigative journalism, and religious belief; its increasingly ubiquitous, invasive surveillance capability; and the Chinese Communist Party's push to apply big data and Artificial Intelligence in governance. China's party-state is collecting a vast amount of information on its citizens, and its social credit system and other developments internally and overseas raise many serious concerns. But contrary to the mainstream media narrative on this, Chinese authorities are not assigning a single score that will determine every aspect of every citizen's life-at least not yet.
It's true that, building on earlier initiatives, China's State Council published a road map in 2014 to establish a far-reaching "social credit" system by 2020. The concept of social credit (shehui xinyong) is not defined in the increasing array of national documents governing the system, but its essence is compliance with legally prescribed social and economic obligations and performing contractual commitments. Composed of a patchwork of diverse information collection and publicity systems established by various state authorities at different levels of government, the system's main goal is to improve governance and market order in a country still beset by rampant fraud and counterfeiting……….more in article……………………

So while tending my meme page on IG today I got an ad for a new augmented reality game called "Ingress Prime".
The game is developed by the same company which developed Pokemon Go: Niantic, Inc, which is a shell for In-Q-Tel, in turn a shell corporation for the CIA's venture capital operations. A quick browse of the Terms of Service reveals that the international HQ for this company is in good old swampy UK. (please remember the CIA's start as the OSS starting by the UK in WW2)
It would appear that with the good guys reducing the CIA's capabilities and assets, the CIA is once again looking to outsource surveillance via unwary smartphone users. Be on the lookout Anons and don't let your friends download this software.

DARPA Announces 2019 AI Colloquium
Throughout DARPA's history, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been an important area of groundbreaking research and development (R&D). In the 1960s, DARPA researchers completed some of the foundational work in the field, leading to the creation of expert systems, or the first wave of AI technologies. Since then, DARPA has funded developments in the second wave of AI - machine learning - which has significantly impacted defense and commercial capabilities in areas such as speech understanding, self-driving cars, and image recognition. Today, DARPA continues to fund AI innovation, making multiple investments in research that aim to shape a future in which AI systems shift from tools to trusted, collaborative partners in problem solving.
"Today, DARPA is pursuing more than 20 programs actively exploring ways to advance the state of the art in AI, pushing beyond second wave machine learning towards the third wave of contextual reasoning capabilities," said Dr. Peter Highnam, DARPA's deputy director. "In addition, we are actively working on over 50 programs that are leveraging AI in some capacity. The AI Colloquium will provide attendees with an opportunity learn about the full breadth and depth of our growing AI portfolio."

The bullet is even capable of making some remarkably sharp course corrections.
DARPA claims that the system is so easy to use that, during testing, a novice shooter using the system for the first time was able to squarely hit a moving target.
Making superhuman soldiers
Coming soon to a battlefield near you: DARPA has developed an incredible exoskeleton - a wearable mobile machine - which transforms any infantryman into a super soldier.
Made with help from researchers at Harvard's Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering, DARPA's Soft Exosuit is a lightweight skeleton frame which saves soldiers' energy when going about their battlefield business.
The sci-fi exoskeleton can augment its wearer's strength and endurance by assisting with movements and taking on some of the physical burdens of walking over long distances and carrying heavy objects, using in-built sensors and a micro-computer to intelligently match the requirements of its user.
A new study, where the suit was tested by seven soldiers on a 12-mile cross-country hike in Maryland, showed it reduced energy consumption by around 15 per cent, making troops more efficient and able to cover more ground.
Terminator robots which could destroy humanity
One of DARPA's big interests is the baffling world of Artificial Intelligence - smart computers which are capable of thinking in a similar way to humans.
Dr Steven Walker, the director at the head of the controversial agency, is currently funnelling a $2 billion (£1.55bn) investment into exploring how machines can be taught to communicate and reason in the same way we do.
The aim is to create lightning-fast military computers which can adapt to new situations, analyse battlefield data and ultimately advise soldiers and planners in the heat of a conflict, where every second counts.
However, AI has its critics, who warn that turning over the work of military analysis to machines creates the risk of a Skynet-style computer which could turn its considerable knowledge and power against humanity.
AI expert Professor Michael Horowitz, from the University of Pennsylvania, has said in interviews: "There's a lot of concern about AI safety - [about] algorithms that are unable to adapt to complex reality and thus malfunction in unpredictable ways.
"It's one thing if what you're talking about is a Google search, but it's another thing if what you're talking about is a weapons system."
Fake limbs controlled by the brain and super-people
Other DARPA research projects include the creation of prosthetic limbs with the full range of movement of the real thing.
Geoff Ling, a neurology ICU physician, has even developed a mind-controlled prosthetic arm which the wearer controls with their thoughts.
Other incredible prosthetic limbs created by the research agency can offer a range of natural movements which the wearer controls via sensors placed elsewhere on their body.
However, conspiracy theorists claim that this is just cover for plans to develop better and more sophisticated fake limbs which can eventually be fitted to robot soldiers and other war machines.
This is something which Ling has publicly denied, stating that the US government has put limits on DARPA's powers to develop killer robots or a "super-person".

Palantir may go public, but can it turn a profit?
The data analytics company Palantir is reportedly considering going public. Palantir is the company co-founded by controversial Silicon Valley billionaire Peter Thiel, formerly of PayPal. It's named after an all-seeing artifact in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. The company promises police departments, governments, even the IRS, that it can take in huge amounts of data and make Artificial Intelligence-informed guesses to help track down criminals and cheats, among other things. In a secret pilot program in New Orleans, Palantir tech even tried to predict when crime would happen or who might be a victim. But lately its huge $20 billion valuation is in doubt, and privacy activists are concerned about its tactics. Molly Wood talked about it with Mark Harris, a reporter who's covered Palantir for Wired magazine. The following is an edited transcript of their conversation.

Oxford Professor On Google: 'They Are Incapable Of Holding Themselves To Ethical Standards'
Google is one of the most data-hungry Technocrat companies on earth, and is integrating health data and health AI into its company by merging DeepMind. This has broken many promises made by both companies and exposes patient data en mass. ? TN Editor
Privacy advocates have raised concerns about patients' data after Google said it would take control of its subsidiary DeepMind's healthcare division.
Google, which acquired London-based Artificial Intelligence lab DeepMind in 2014, said on Tuesday that the DeepMind Health brand, which uses NHS patient data, will cease to exist and the team behind its medical app Streams will join Google as part of Google Health.

America's spy services have become increasingly interested in mining "open source Intelligence" - information that's publicly available, but often hidden in the daily avalanche of TV shows, newspaper articles, blog posts, online videos and radio reports.
"Secret information isn't always the brass ring in our profession," then CIA-director General Michael Hayden told a conference in 2008. "In fact, there's a real satisfaction in solving a problem or answering a tough question with information that someone was dumb enough to leave out in the open."
U.S. spy agencies, through In-Q-Tel, have invested in a number of firms to help them better find that information. Visible Technologies crawls over half a million web 2.0 sites a day, scraping more than a million posts and conversations taking place on blogs, YouTube, Twitter and Amazon. Attensity applies the rules of grammar to the so-called "unstructured text" of the web to make it more easily digestible by government databases. Keyhole (now Google Earth) is a staple of the targeting cells in military-Intelligence units.
Recorded Future strips from web pages the people, places and activities they mention. The company examines when and where these events happened ("spatial and temporal analysis") and the tone of the document ("sentiment analysis"). Then it applies some Artificial-Intelligence algorithms to tease out connections between the players. Recorded Future maintains an index with more than 100 million events, hosted on Amazon.com servers. The analysis, however, is on the living web.
"We're right there as it happens," Ahlberg told Danger Room as he clicked through a demonstration. "We can assemble actual real-time dossiers on people."
Recorded Future certainly has the potential to spot events and trends early. Take the case of Hezbollah's long-range missiles. On March 21, Israeli President Shimon Peres leveled the allegation that the terror group had Scud-like weapons. Scouring Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah's past statements, Recorded Future found corroborating evidence from a month prior that appeared to back up Peres' accusations.
That's one of several hypothetical cases Recorded Future runs in its blog devoted to Intelligence analysis. But it's safe to assume that the company already has at least one spy agency's attention. In-Q-Tel doesn't make investments in firms without an "end customer" ready to test out that company's products.
Both Google Ventures and In-Q-Tel made their investments in 2009, shortly after the company was founded. The exact amounts weren't disclosed, but were under $10 million each. Google's investment came to light earlier this year online. In-Q-Tel, which often announces its new holdings in press releases, quietly uploaded a brief mention of its investment a few weeks ago.
Both In-Q-Tel and Google Ventures have seats on Recorded Future's board. Ahlberg says those board members have been "very helpful," providing business and technology advice, as well as introducing him to potential customers. Both organizations, it's safe to say, will profit handsomely if Recorded Future is ever sold or taken public. Ahlberg's last company, the corporate Intelligence firm Spotfire, was acquired in 2007 for $195 million in cash.
Google Ventures did not return requests to comment for this article. In-Q-Tel Chief of Staff Lisbeth Poulos e-mailed a one-line statement: "We are pleased that Recorded Future is now part of IQT's portfolio of innovative startup companies who support the mission of the U.S. Intelligence Community."
Just because Google and In-Q-Tel have both invested in Recorded Future doesn't mean Google is suddenly in bed with the government. Of course, to Google's critics - including conservative legal groups, and Republican congressmen - the Obama Administration and the Mountain View, California, company slipped between the sheets a long time ago.
Google CEO Eric Schmidt hosted a town hall at company headquarters in the early days of Obama's presidential campaign. Senior White House officials like economic chief Larry Summers give speeches at the New America Foundation, the left-of-center think tank chaired by Schmidt. Former Google public policy chief Andrew McLaughlin is now the White House's deputy CTO, and was publicly (if mildly) reprimanded by the administration for continuing to hash out issues with his former colleagues.

Will Google's AI Investment in Beijing Bear Fruit?
Google products are largely banned in China. Can the search giant break that streak with Artificial Intelligence?
Danny Vena (TMFLifeIsGood)
Oct 8, 2017 at 7:34AM
Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL) (NASDAQ:GOOG) has a checkered history when it comes to China. In 2010, the company shut down its search engine after years of fighting government censorship and a cyberattack from within the country that targeted the email accounts of human rights activists. Google redirected mainland China web users to its uncensored site in Hong Kong and its search has been blocked in the country ever since, though it has maintained a low-profile presence there.
Consumers in China are also effectively blocked from the Google Play app store as paid apps and content are prohibited. While Google Play is pre-installed on the majority of the world's Android phones, it is markedly absent in China, which accounts for a third of all Android users.
Even in light of its difficulties there in the past, Google is hiring engineers in China in an effort to tap the local talent pool in the burgeoning world of Artificial Intelligence (AI).
AI is H-O-T
AI is the hottest area of technology right now, with major tech companies competing for the limited number of scientists and engineers with experience in the field. Facebook, Inc. announced plans to open a research lab near the University of Montreal, which hosts a vibrant AI program, while Amazon.com is building a research and development center in Barcelona, Spain.
U.S. companies aren't the only ones searching the globe for AI talent. Chinese search leader Baidu, Inc. (NASDAQ:BIDU) has a 200-person AI lab in Silicon Valley, and earlier this year, internet giant Tencent Holdings Limited (NASDAQOTH:TCEHY) opened a facility in Seattle that would concentrate on speech recognition and natural language understanding.
Even the government in China is getting into the act, identifying AI as a key area of interest in its five-year plan and enlisting Baidu to develop a national laboratory dedicated to AI.
A ripe market
Google hosted an AI summit in the city of Wuzhen earlier this year, in conjunction with a historic match in which the company's DeepMind AlphaGo computer unseated the world champion in the ancient and complex Chinese game of Go. At both events, Google executives revealed that the company would hire engineers and scientists in the field of AI. The company has numerous positions listed in Beijing focused on the area of machine learning, a subdiscipline of AI. This would add to the more than 500 Google employees currently in Shanghai and Beijing.
There have long been reports of Google seeking to expand its presence in China, as the country has been the "one that got away." With a population of 1.37 billion and an estimated 591 million smartphone users, it represents both a rich opportunity and distinct challenge for Google.
Among the top app stores in the country, Google Play is in eighth place, behind Chinese favorites like Tencent and Baidu. Meanwhile, Google's cloud doesn't currently operate in China, and it would need to partner with a local company in order to comply with regulations that require that any data collected be stored on servers located within China.
Can Google turn things around?
Recent overtures including the AI summit, the historic Go match, and the hiring of local AI talent may signify an attempt by Google at thawing the chilly relations with China. AI systems require plentiful amounts of data in order to learn, and China's bountiful population provides a tempting target. Still, years of animosity and continuing government regulation will be a significant hurdle. I don't see Google marching triumphantly into China anytime soon.

Pichai went on to note the performance of Google Assistant since its implementation. While the AI powering it may not be smarter than a fifth grader, it continues to learn and help people "get things done in the real world," said the CEO. Work done by DeepMind this year to add imagination and teach AI to manage real-world tasks has almost certainly been a factor in Google Assistant's success.
Last month, Google Cloud Chief Scientist Fei-Fei Li said that AI needs to be more human-centered, noting that making that shift would lead to better communication and collaboration between humans and AI. Li's words may have impacted the way Google's AI is used to improve services, such as Google Photos and Google Maps.
"500 million people now use the machine learning smarts of Google Photos to manage and share their memories," said Pichai. "The billion-plus people using Google Maps now get thoughtfully contextual information like how to find parking where they are going."
AI's Future
Consumers aren't the only ones benefiting from Artificial Intelligence. According to Pichai, businesses are also starting to learn how to use AI and machine learning to grow and remain relevant in a world that's embracing more powerful technology.
Google isn't exempt from this, either. The company has created an AI that's better at making AI systems than human engineers are. It's an exciting development, to be sure, though it and AlphaGo Zero, which has self-learning capabilities, may cause some concerns, such as those held by Tesla CEO Elon Musk.
Artificial Intelligence is here to stay, and Pichai's comments both highlight the technology's current capabilities while also acknowledging its future. AI's effect on jobs and the ethics of the tech still need to be addressed, but provided we can control it, AI is poised to lift humanity to new heights and radically change the world for the better.
The question is: WILL AI change the world for the better? How can we be sure? What about all the sinister signs we are seeing?

GOOGLE JUST PLACED yet another bet on the idea that Artificial Intelligence will remake the world-and throw off wild profits.
The company disclosed today that it has created a new venture fund dedicated to investing in AI and machine learning companies. The initiative's first public investment: lead investor in a $10.5 million funding round for Seattle startup Algorithmia, which has built a kind of app store for algorithms. The service aims to make it easier for any company to use machine learning.
Google wouldn't make anyone available to talk about its new fund, which doesn't yet have a name, or disclose its size. The company will say it is led by veteran executive Anna Patterson, vice president of engineering for AI. And the fund's existence and lead role in Algorithmia's latest round fit with what you might call Google's shovel strategy for Artificial Intelligence: The company believes there are piles of money to be made by giving other companies the tools to strike gold using the technology.
Google and Algorithmia both rather cutely refer to the effort to sell AI shovels as "democratizing" the technology. More plainly, they're pursuing a business opportunity created by the recent, rapid advancement in the power of machine learning. Lots of companies with ideas about how to use the technology in their businesses can't access the expertise needed to do so, which is in short supply.
Algorithmia is trying to fill that need with a marketplace that is something like an Etsy for algorithms. Developers can upload their creations-say, a machine-learning model that identifies a car's model year from a photo-and get paid if another person or company uses them. The company's system converts uploaded algorithms into cloud services that can be easily integrated into an app, website, or other service.
There are currently more than 3,500 algorithms listed in Algorithmia's marketplace, for everything from detecting nudity to parsing sentences. A private version of the platform is used by large companies in finance, pharma, and other industries to help developers on staff share and deploy their algorithms. "There's a lot of infrastructure needed to make a reality out of this promise that AI is going to affect every business process out there," says Diego Oppenheimer, CEO and founder of Algorithmia. "We're the AI plumbers-it's the stuff people don't want to do, but it's a big market opportunity."

The contest to develop more powerful AI now involves hundreds of companies, with competition most intense between the top tech giants such as Google, Facebook, and Microsoft. All see the chance to reap new profits by using the technology to wring more from customer data, to get driverless cars on the road, or in medicine. Research is occurring in a hot house atmosphere reminiscent of the early days of computer chips, or of the first biotech plants and drugs, times when notable academic firsts also laid the foundation stones of new industries.
That explains why publication score-keeping matters. The old academic saw "publish or perish" is starting to define the AI race, leaving companies that have weak publication records at a big disadvantage. Apple, famous for strict secrecy around its plans and product launches, found that its culture was hurting its efforts in AI, which have lagged those of Google and Facebook.
So when Apple hired computer scientist Russ Salakhutdinov from Carnegie Mellon last year as its new head of AI, he was immediately allowed to break Apple's code of secrecy by blogging and giving talks. At a major machine-learning science conference late last year in Barcelona, Salakhutdinov made the point of announcing that Apple would start publishing, too. He showed a slide: "Can we publish? Yes."
Salakhutdinov will speak at MIT Technology Review's EmTech Digital event on Artificial Intelligence next week in San Francisco.

The publication explosion is no accident. Google has more than tripled the number of machine learning researchers working for the company over the last few years, according to Yoshua Bengio, a deep-learning specialist at the University of Montreal. "They have recruited like crazy," he says.
And to capture the first-round picks from computation labs, companies can't only offer a Silicon Valley-sized salary. "It's hard to hire people just for money," says Konrad Kording, a computational neuroscientist at Northwestern University. "The top people care about advancing the world, and that means writing papers the world can use, and writing code the world can use."
At Google, the scientific charge has been spearheaded by DeepMind, the high-concept British AI company started by neuroscientist and programmer Demis Hassabis. Google acquired it for $400 million in 2014.
Hassabis has left no doubt that he's holding onto his scientific ambitions. In a January blog post, he said DeepMind has a "hybrid culture" between the long-term thinking of an academic department and "the speed and focus of the best startups." Aligning with academic goals is "important to us personally," he writes. Kording, one of whose post-doctoral students, Mohammad Azar, was recently hired by DeepMind, says that "it's perfectly understood that the bulk of the projects advance science."

Google's AI Explosion in One Chart
Surging investment in machine learning is vaulting Google into the scientific stratosphere.
by Antonio Regalado March 25, 2017
Nature. The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The Journal of the American Medical Association.
These are some the most elite academic journals in the world. And last year, one tech company, Alphabet's Google, published papers in all of them.
The unprecedented run of scientific results by the Mountain View search giant touched on everything from ophthalmology to computer games to neuroscience and climate models. For Google, 2016 was an annus mirabilis during which its researchers cracked the top journals and set records for sheer volume.
Behind the surge is Google's growing investment in Artificial Intelligence, particularly "deep learning," a technique whose ability to make sense of images and other data is enhancing services like search and translation (see "10 Breakthrough Technologies 2013: Deep Learning").
According to the tally Google provided to MIT Technology Review, it published 218 journal or conference papers on machine learning in 2016, nearly twice as many as it did two years ago.

Privacy concerns as Google absorbs DeepMind's health division
rivacy advocates have raised concerns about patients' data after Google said it would take control of its subsidiary DeepMind's healthcare division.
Google, which acquired London-based Artificial Intelligence lab DeepMind in 2014, said on Tuesday that the DeepMind Health brand, which uses NHS patient data, will cease to exist and the team behind its medical app Streams will join Google as part of Google Health.
It comes just months after DeepMind promised never to share data with the technology giant and an ethics board raised concerns over its independence.
A separate research team at DeepMind will continue to function independently of Google, but under the umbrella of its parent company Alphabet.
A DeepMind spokesman said: "All patient data remains under our partners' strict control, and all decisions about its use lie with them."
DeepMind health has already come under scrutiny from data watchdogs in the past. Last year, the Royal Free hospital in London was found to have breached the Data Protection Act over its handling of NHS patients' data when using the Streams app, which was developed by DeepMind.

Inside China's Dystopian Dreams: A.I., Shame and Lots of Cameras
ZHENGZHOU, China - In the Chinese city of Zhengzhou, a police officer wearing facial recognition glasses spotted a heroin smuggler at a train station.
In Qingdao, a city famous for its German colonial heritage, cameras powered by Artificial Intelligence helped the police snatch two dozen criminal suspects in the midst of a big annual beer festival.
In Wuhu, a fugitive murder suspect was identified by a camera as he bought food from a street vendor.
With millions of cameras and billions of lines of code, China is building a high-tech authoritarian future. Beijing is embracing technologies like facial recognition and Artificial Intelligence to identify and track 1.4 billion people. It wants to assemble a vast and unprecedented national surveillance system, with crucial help from its thriving technology industry.
China is reversing the commonly held vision of technology as a great democratizer, bringing people more freedom and connecting them to the world. In China, it has brought control.

DARPA, CIA Scientist and Engineering Dr. Robert Duncan Whistleblower
July 10, 2017 PAnews Agents, Algorithms, CIA, DARPA black projects, FBI Secret Programs, Military Future Weapons, Nanotechnology, Technology
I will begin by saying, we are living in a time where the dangers of Military technology is now beyond our control. We live as guinea pigs in a world where those with the power, knowledge and technology keep us from our true freedom. To live with free will in this beautiful world. They manipulate us, direct us and destroy everything that was truly divine and sacred in our mind.
In this timeline we must decide, will they take our spirit and destroy what god intended or will we stand and fight the evil and it's new designs. Faith, we must have faith.
Dr. Robert Duncan is a scientist and engineer who worked on black projects for DARPA, CIA, Justice Department and the Department of Defense. He was involved in Artificial Intelligence and cybernetics. As an MIT student he studied under professor Noam Chomsky on linguistics, studying computer AI language.
During his career he became aware of the military's experimentation on targeting US civilian populations and soon realized he was part of creating a dangerous weapon if used for dark projects.
Dr. Duncan gave a presentation at The Bases Project conference which explained what he worked on ,his inventions and what the military plans were for using them. He stated, government has been creating something called Cybernetic Hive Minds. This technology was being created in the 60's for specific functions. The list of uses is seen below.
USE:
Increased Intelligence
Brain Storming
Interrogation
Mind Control
Accelerated Education
Predictions of Mass Influence
Rapid Communications
He would like the public to understand, the military is way ahead in technological weaponry then the civilian industry. But he states Universities are now trying to catch up to this technology. MIT has already inserted a micro chip into persons that have memory loss. One example of a successful experiment, is a rat that had a micro chip implanted to record memory. Once the information was recorded in the chip, they went ahead and implanted that same chip into another rat that was fresh to the experiment and this new rat was able to have memory of the previous rats actions.
He read another report in which the military experimented with and ape and a young girl. In this experiment the apes brain was connected to the young girls brain, the expectation was that the ape would recognize himself through the girl brain memory. Unfortunately this experiment went side ways and the ape ended up killing the young girl.
Dr. Duncan stated the military currently is able to use 4 to 6 people in the Cybernetic Hive Mind project at the same time. The communication now is able to process at the speed of thought. So if you think of something, the 4 or 5 others will have the same thought formulated. He goes on to say, the CIA, MI5, MI6 and others Love this technology. It is ideal for interrogation , no one would be able to hide their thoughts and would be able to read your dreams.
No privacy at all, nothing would be hidden and kept. This is the most mind blowing and scary revelation. Again, I keep going back to AEON Flux and Minority Report. We are at the edge of a Revolution that would end privacy forever.
The military can insert thoughts and we know this type of weaponry was used in the first Iraq war against the Iraqi soldiers. Dr. Duncan admitted to this during his presentation. He personally worked on the Voice of God technology that was used to have the Iraqi soldiers put down their weapons as they were advancing towards Kuwait. The military inserted the voice of Allah and told the soldiers to put their weapons down. We had one the war right after that event. The military can use this to manipulate the masses without them being aware of it.
Now we have to ask ourselves, is this currently happening right now? Can it be used to persuade masses to migrate? Can it be used to insert thoughts of Rape, Violence, Killing on a mass scale? This God voice technology mimics spiritual realms. Voices of the so called dead, voice of god, voice of angels....Food for thought.

Chinese state media debuts 'AI' news anchors
China's state-controlled news broadcasters have long been considered somewhat robotic in their daily recitation of pro-government propaganda and a pair of new presenters will do little to dispel that view.
Calling it a "world first", Xinhua news agency this week debuted a pair of virtual news anchors amid a state-directed embrace of advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Based on the appearances of two flesh-and-blood Chinese news presenters, the computerised avatars read out text that is fed into their system, their mouths moving in tandem with the reports.
Xinhua said the "AI Synthetic Anchors", one for Chinese and one for English news, were developed along with Sogou Inc, a Beijing-based creator of search engines and voice-recognition technology.
China last year unveiled plans to become a world leader in AI and other high-tech fields, though it has since toned down the rhetoric amid a trade war with the United States, which has included accusations by President Donald Trump that China steals US technologies.

Pa. high school installs first-ever AI security system that detects weapons, notifies police
A Pennsylvania high school has added an extra layer of security by installing an Artificial Intelligence system that can detect a gun and notify police in mere seconds.
The Archbishop Wood High School in Warminster became the first school in the world to add the Athena Security device to its existing system, KYW-TV reported.
The system, developed by Texas-based Athena, uses motion and image detecting technology.
Athena co-founders Chris Ciabarra and Lisa Falzone developed the technology in an effort to prevent school shootings.
"There have been a lot of advancements in Artificial Intelligence and so basically what we do is use object and motion detection to recognize when someone pulls out a gun and alert on that," Falzone told KYW.
How does it work?
The camera can detect the image of a gun as well as dangerous movements including someone pulling out a gun, hands going up in the air, or someone being punched, according to the Athena website.
Once danger has been detected, the camera captures a video of the incident, along with its exact location, which is sent to police and school officials within three seconds.
"So not just recording crime but proactively preventing crime," Falzone said.
What else?
The technology was installed at the school about a month ago.
"This is just another layer it's more being proactive than reactive I hope we never have to use it," Zimmaro said.
Athena is also working on developing software that uses radar to detect concealed weapons.

Chinese 'gait recognition' tech IDs people by how they walk
Chinese authorities have begun deploying a new surveillance tool: "gait recognition" software that uses people's body shapes and how they walk to identify them, even when their faces are hidden from cameras.
Already used by police on the streets of Beijing and Shanghai, "gait recognition" is part of a push across China to develop Artificial-Intelligence and data-driven surveillance that is raising concern about how far the technology will go.
Huang Yongzhen, the CEO of Watrix, said that its system can identify people from up to 50 meters (165 feet) away, even with their back turned or face covered. This can fill a gap in facial recognition, which needs close-up, high-resolution images of a person's face to work.
"You don't need people's cooperation for us to be able to recognize their identity," Huang said in an interview in his Beijing office. "Gait analysis can't be fooled by simply limping, walking with splayed feet or hunching over, because we're analyzing all the features of an entire body."
Watrix announced last month that it had raised 100 million yuan ($14.5 million) to accelerate the development and sale of its gait recognition technology, according to Chinese media reports.
Chinese police are using facial recognition to identify people in crowds and nab jaywalkers, and are developing an integrated national system of surveillance camera data. Not everyone is comfortable with gait recognition's use.

LAWMAKERS SEEK REVIEW OF PENTAGON CLOUD CONTRACT, THOUGHT TO FAVOR AMAZON
TWO MEMBERS OF Congress are seeking a formal investigation into claims that the bidding process for a contentious $10 billion Pentagon contract was rigged in favor of Amazon.
The contract in question would give one company full reign over the Defense Department's Joint Enterprise Defense Initiative, or JEDI Cloud-a program that the Pentagon has described as "truly about increasing the lethality of our department." JEDI is part of the DOD's quest to bring military operations into the modern era by partnering with a commercial cloud provider to streamline defense operations, upgrade data-analytics programs using Artificial Intelligence, and provide soldiers with real-time mission data.
In a letter to the Defense Department's inspector general on Monday, House Appropriations committee members Tom Cole of Oklahoma and Steve Womack of Arkansas, both Republicans, accused military leaders of violating federal law and departmental ethics standards by moving forward with plans to award the JEDI contract to a single company, despite extensive criticism from industry leaders and lawmakers. Womack is also chair of the House Budget Committee; Cole chairs an appropriations subcommittee.
The two legislators expressed concern that the proposed contract was written in a way that seemed "to be tailored to one specific contractor," who they described as having "significant connections" to a number of military leaders involved in drafting the oddly specific requirements for the JEDI program. The lawmakers did not specify the contractor, but it is clear that their comments were a reference to Amazon. Oracle, IBM, and Google, as well as some outside experts, have expressed similar concerns in the months since the details of the solicitation process were first released.

Jeff Bezos Puts The Pentagon On His Monopoly Board
While employees at Google and Microsoft are wary of collaborating with the military, Amazon revels in it…
Speaking at the Wired 25th anniversary last month month, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos announced that his company will continue to accept Pentagon contracts. That includes a very controversial cloud-computing contract that Google and Microsoft have already backed out of due to vocal employee opposition to working with the U.S. military.
Amazon was long considered the front-runner for this contract, but Bezos's rationale for taking it goes well beyond its being low-hanging fruit. He's argued that the government's job is to "make the right decision, even when it's unpopular," and that large tech companies should support those decisions irrespective of politics.
The $10 billion tied to the contract can't hurt either. Whatever his motivation for sucking it up and taking one for team tech, Bezos's public justification is a poor one, and it isn't hard to see why. The Pentagon has a long history of immoral and reckless behavior, actions that objectively aren't beneficial to the defense of the United States. Any company that blindly works with them does so at its own peril.
Employees at Google and Microsoft have already made a powerful case for why tech giants shouldn't collaborate with the Defense Department. They don't want to be responsible for developing technology that causes substantial harm, surveils others in violation of international norms, or contravenes human rights. The Pentagon can be counted on to do all three, and more.
Furthermore, the Pentagon's growing interest in Artificial Intelligence (A.I.), particularly as it relates to warfighting, sounds out of the preamble for a dystopian novel. Hence why Google employees forced their company not to renew a controversial Pentagon contract in June involving A.I. While Amazon will be signing on to cloud computing, not A.I., it's still more than a little concerning that Bezos was so adamant about the virtues of the DoD. (For what it's worth, Amazon already works with the CIA.)
But Amazon has an interest that extends far beyond this single deal. The real prize is to become the military's sole procurement source for off-the-shelf components. Disdainfully labeled Amazon.mil by critics, this initiative is a result of a congressional mandate that the Pentagon shift procurement to a single online marketplace.
The mandate is supposed to save the Pentagon money when buying run-of-the-mill items like bottled water. It would also give Amazon, the presumptive facilitator, a virtual monopoly on selling a vast array of items to a government department with nearly limitless money that's notorious for overpaying for things.
Amazon is one of very few online companies that could even claim to provide this sort of service. In eagerly contracting with the Pentagon elsewhere, Bezos is laying the groundwork for this much bigger relationship.
Yet being the Pentagon's friendly partner could come with potential costs. Bezos is setting Amazon up as an amoral alternative to the other major technology companies. When a Pentagon project breaks bad and the public starts asking how all this could have happened, the answer will be Amazon.
A recent test case for this was the NSA's surveillance of the American public. Intended to be done entirely in secret, when it was revealed that the major telecoms were complicit, even though they were effectively forced by secret court orders to cooperate, their reputations suffered a hit. Customers began asking whether their privacy was safe with AT&T or Verizon.
Amazon's complicity may still be under the radar, but it is all the riskier now that Bezos has publicly defended working with the Pentagon on matters others wanted nothing to do with. His quote about senior leadership making "the right decisions" could easily become the soundbite for a story about government excess going unchallenged by the private sector.
Bezos tries to paint this with a broad brush by contending that major companies must not walk away from the U.S. government over politics. Yet the consequences of Pentagon projects are potentially far-reaching, and large American companies cannot succor themselves with the rationale that they're only following orders.
Amazon is going down a risky path. They say that if you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas, and Amazon has made a conscious decision to climb into bed with some of the Pentagon's most flea-bitten projects. If it wakes up in a mess, let's make sure no one claims they didn't see it coming.

China Reveals Plans for 'Phantom' Underwater Drone War Against U.S.
Artificial Intelligence-powered drone subs to target American carriers
China's military is preparing to wage autonomous underwater warfare against the United States, including the use of drone submarine attacks on American aircraft carriers, according to the official Chinese military newspaper. "Underwater offensive and defense operations constitute a major battle domain for the seizure of sea supremacy, and represent a major means of winning superiority in maritime operations," the newspaper of the People's Liberation Army stated in an Oct. 25 report. The report said China envisions future unmanned underwater vehicles conducting stealthy autonomous attacks and relying on networks of sensors planted around the world in the sea floor that can be triggered by satellites.
Autonomous underwater warfare capabilities are part of the Chinese military's decades-long arms buildup of forces capable of defeating the United States. The PLA report provides a rare glimpse into Chinese military thinking for deterrence and future underwater warfare.
Smart submarines operating and attacking on their own, and new high-tech underwater weapons are the "new frontier mainly for laying ambushes with underwater robots, smart 'phantom' weapons, and bionic fish-like devices to shape a network-based operations system." Underwater attacks will be carried out using AI-powered robot submarines that operate "without relying on human control" to assess targets automatically, and organize coordinated attacks in what the military report calls "underwater phantom warfare." "Before a crisis evolves into a war, the 'phantom' weapons may be deployed ahead of time in a way of deep submerging below the sea surface or deep lurking on the seafloor beneath a strategic sea channel, or a sea strait that the adversary's vessels will certainly pass through, one may activate such weapons via the space-based or sea-based low-frequency signal system to shape a pre-deployed underwater operations system with the capability of self-determined smart attacks," the report said. AI underwater drones also can be used to impose a self-activated blockade of fixed targets based on the weapons' automatic target identification capabilities. The drone submarines also will employ unbreakable coded communications and data transmission sent by advanced quantum computers.

Susan Molinari is stepping down as the head of Google's Washington office at the end of the year, the company said today, a change in policy leadership that comes at one of the most politically fraught times in the company's history. Google and other tech giants face a wave of criticism in Washington over their handling of foreign election meddling, political speech and data privacy. They're also still reeling from Congress, in a landmark first, chipping away this year at their broad immunity from being held liable for user-posted content. Google in particular has also been snarled in controversy involving work for the Defense Department. The company said earlier this year it would let a contract to provide Artificial Intelligence technology to the Pentagon expire in 2019 after employees raised concerns about their work being used by the military. Critics pounced on the company's decision as unpatriotic.
Google has sought to defray Washington scrutiny in part by spending big on influence efforts, and Molinari's ultimate replacement will inherit a large and growing lobbying portfolio. Google spent more than $18 million on federal lobbying last year, disclosure records show, ranking it among the biggest spenders of any corporation. In June, Google hired Karan Bhatia, a former George W. Bush administration official and policy chief at GE, to head its global policy team from Washington. He will oversee Molinari's replacement.
Molinari will stay at the company as a senior adviser to "build relationships externally" with members of Congress, political parties and state representatives. In a statement, Molinari cited family changes in the last year as her reason for leaving the position after nearly seven years. "I was looking for the right time to step back and step away and now that we have a global policy leader, I am comfortable in making the transition," she said. Kent Walker, whom Google promoted in July to senior vice president of global affairs, praised Molinari in a statement as a "passionate leader" who has "brought extraordinary experience and political judgement to her work." But Google's relationship with Washington has become increasingly strained in the last years of Molinari's tenure.

U.S. Launches Crackdown on Chinese Economic Espionage
State-run Chinese company indicted for advanced semiconductor technology theft
mid unfulfilled Chinese government promises not to spy on U.S. companies, Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Thursday announced a major initiative to counter multi-billion dollar theft of American technology from Chinese economic espionage.
"Chinese economic espionage against the United States has been increasing-and it has been increasing rapidly," Sessions said. "We are here today to say: enough is enough. We're not going to take it anymore. It is unacceptable."
Sessions noted that in 2015, China stated publicly it would not target American companies for economic gain.
"Obviously, that commitment has not been kept. Just ask GE Aviation, or Trimble, of Sunnyvale, California," he noted.
As part of the crackdown, the Justice Department announced the indictment for the first time of a state-run Chinese company involved in a plot to steal advanced U.S. semiconductor technology.
A federal grand jury in San Francisco indicted Chinese and Taiwanese company and three people for targeting the Idaho-based Micron Technologies, which is leading in development of an advanced semiconductor technology called DRAM-dynamic random-access memory.
The semiconductor technology is a major component of advanced computing that will be central to developing Artificial Intelligence products for both commercial and military applications.
The Justice program is part of a multi-pronged Trump administration policy of taking action against China for unfair trade practices and technology theft.
The administration has imposed $200 billion in tariffs on Chinese products and is holding out an additional $250 billion in tariffs.

DARPA Seeks FAA Approval For Military Drones Over American Cities By 2030 - At The Latest
Just a little over 10 years after drone surveillance inside U.S. borders was declared a conspiracy theory, it is now an indisputable fact of life. So, too, are military grade drones along the "border," which in reality constitutes a 100-mile-wide swath that encircles the continental United States and 2/3 of its population.
According to a new report from Defense One, this level of access is still seen as a restriction by the DARPA-directed military apparatus. As new forms of autonomous aircraft take to the skies such as the latest Blackhawk helicopter drones that could be ready by 2019, DARPA and aircraft developers want permission to fly over large cities as needed. Utilizing a new Artificial Intelligence system that is literally called MATRIX, developers see an opportunity for more flexibility in potential use. Of course, surveillance isn't mentioned among those uses:
In that linked article sourced above, the long-range plans of converting military aircraft to drones and incorporating them anywhere and everywhere inside America is also detailed and expanded upon as a potential replacement for the already controversial use of police drones.
By 2025, enormous military-style drones - close relatives of the sort made famous by counterterrorism strikes in Afghanistan and Iraq - will be visible 2,000 feet above U.S. cities, streaming high-resolution video to police departments below. That is the bet that multiple defense contractors are placing, anyway, as they race to build unmanned aircraft that can pass evolving airworthiness certifications and replace police helicopters. And if that bet pays off, it will radically transform the way cities, citizens, and law enforcement interact.

After that, similar to Predator drone maker General Atomics, they have their eyes on FAA certification to fly large, unmanned aircraft within the continental United States, to help ferry people and supplies from the mainland to offshore oil rigs, among other potential jobs. Today, large drones likes Predators are forbidden to fly over the U.S. except in a handful of largely unpopulated areas along the U.S. Mexico border.
The FAA is now figuring out how to change guidelines to allow unmanned planes and helicopters to fly over big cities. "We are working with the FAA on that. Our stated goal is 2030. It very much depends on rule making. We are certainly hoping for sooner, for the mid-2020s, to field it," he said.

Globalists and Communists Converge at Davos-sponsored Tech Summit in China
President Donald Trump has initiated a new round of tariffs on China, in response to what he has described as "economic aggression" against the United States by the Beijing regime. Meanwhile top leaders of the U.S. and global business, technology, and banking communities were in China last week celebrating with the communist aggressors. From September 18-20, the World Economic Forum (WEF) held its 12th Annual Meeting of the New Champions, under the theme, "Shaping Innovative Societies in the Fourth Industrial Revolution," in Tianjin, China. The WEF has become a leading evangelization chorus for a New World Order, a globalist scheme for world government that has become the shared vision of billionaire elites at Goldman Sachs, Microsoft, Facebook, and Google, as well as their corporate counterparts in China.
Listed as "partners" for the event were such western corporate giants as Allianz, Bain & Company, Bank of America, Barclays, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, BlackRock, BP, Chevron, Cisco, Citi, Credit Suisse, Dell Technologies, Deloitte, Deutsche Bank, Facebook, GE, Goldman Sachs, Google, IBM, Johnson & Johnson, JPMorgan Chase, Microsoft, Mitsubishi, Morgan Stanley, PayPal, PepsiCo, Pfizer, Procter & Gamble, Coca-Cola, Thomson Reuters, UPS, Visa, Volkswagen, and Zurich Insurance Group. Joining them in this venture were Chinese titans Alibaba, Dentsu Group, China Minsheng Investment Group, Hanwha Energy Corporation, Huawei Technologies, Tsinghua Holdings Co., and more.
Naturally, the American "mainstream" news media were either AWOL on the WEF summit, or were complicit in presenting it, essentially, as rip-and-read PR releases from China's Communist Party propagandists.
Among the articles CNBC carried on the Tianjin conference, for instance, was one titled "Everyone could learn from China's tech policies, World Economic Forum says," by CNBC staff writer Evelyn Cheng. "The World Economic Forum is looking to China for ideas on how governments can appropriately regulate the technologies of the future," Cheng writes. "The organization, which runs the annual conference of world leaders in Davos, Switzerland, announced Wednesday it is launching a hub in Beijing for government officials, businesses and academics to come up with suggestions for future policies on developments such as Artificial Intelligence."
"The group in the communist country will mark the third location of the Center for the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which opened in San Francisco in March 2017," Cheng reports, noting that a WEF hub was opened in Tokyo in July, and another is scheduled to open in Mumbai, India, in October.

Pence's little-noticed speech marked a new US realism toward China
A seismic shot across the bow, Vice President Mike Pence's Oct. 4 speech on U.S.-China policy garnered surprisingly little coverage. But historians may well mark it as a significant turning point in great power relations. Pence's address to the Hudson Institute heralded a dramatic shift in America's approach to Beijing. He clearly and starkly announced that America is initiating a dramatic decoupling from a growing rival. There's a strong economic basis for the shift. China's rise has been funded in large part by excessive reliance on America's consumers. The U.S. racks up trade deficits with China that amount to hundreds of billions annually. And this massive trade debt has already cost the U.S. 3.4 million jobs since 2001.
The issue now transcends jobs, though, and runs to national security concerns as well. In September, the Pentagon released a study on the troubling status of America's defense industrial base, including multiple instances of dependence on China for key military hardware. The Defense Department expressed particular concern over "single points of failure," with many remaining U.S. producers of critical defense materials on the verge of shutting down. The Pentagon notes that 90 percent of worldwide printed circuit board production is now located in Asia - predominantly in China. In contrast, America's remaining printed circuit board production is failing to maintain state-of-the-art capability. In addition to electronics, the Pentagon has also cataloged U.S. dependency on China for such critical components as carbon fibers, solid rocket materials, machine tools, body armor, titanium, beryllium, and explosives. This should come as little surprise to keen observers of America's defense industrial strength. And the Trump administration intimated as much last year in a National Security Strategy that highlighted the "erosion of American manufacturing" alongside other diverse challenges like rogue nations, porous borders, criminal cartels, and terror groups.
The Trump administration is the first to openly acknowledge China's hostility, however. Where President Bill Clinton championed Beijing as a "partner," and President Barack Obama accepted China as a strategic competitor, the Trump administration is now boldly declaring Beijing a national security threat. Earlier this year, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative offered a stern rebuke of the Clinton administration's China policy, saying that the United States "erred" in supporting China's 2001 entry into the World Trade Organization, because "WTO rules are not sufficient to constrain China's market-distorting behavior." As Pence noted, China has used an arsenal of "tariffs, quotas, currency manipulation, forced technology transfer, intellectual property theft, and industrial subsidies" to bolster its manufacturing base at America's expense.
More chilling, however, is Beijing's wider global strategy. Pence said China is intent on controlling 90 percent of the world's most advanced industries, including robotics, biotechnology, and Artificial Intelligence. And Chinese security agencies have engaged in "wholesale theft of American technology."

Chinese Military Scientists Have Infiltrated "Five Eyes" Western Universities
Approximately 2,500 researchers from Chinese military universities have infiltrated Western universities over the past decade, focusing on the so-called "Five Eyes" group of countries, reports the Financial Times, citing a new report from Australian government-funded think tank, the Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI). According to the report, many of the Chinese researchers failed to disclose their military affiliations, while publishing a large volume of joint papers with Western scientists which can help Beijing's technological ambitions.
Over the past five years, researchers affiliated to the People's Liberation Army published more joint papers with scientists from the UK and the US than with those of any other country. The findings will fuel the debate raging in some western capitals over how to control the flow of cutting-edge and especially dual-use technology to Beijing - one of the main fronts in their struggle to adapt to a rapidly rising China. The PLA's international research collaboration "focuses on hard sciences, especially emerging and dual-use technologies", said Alex Joske, author of the report that is being published by ASPI today. Dual-use technology has civilian and military applications. -Financial Times
Joske found that the most dominant areas for collaboration between Chinese and foreign researchers were navigation technology, computer science and Artificial Intelligence (AI). In one example, several researchers visited UK universities and are continuing joint research on topics such as combustion in scramjet engines, which could power hypersonic aircraft capable of flying at six times the speed of sound. Wang Zhenguo, deputy chief of the PLA's scramjet programme and head of the department of postgraduate studies at the NUDT, has co-authored 18 papers with foreign scientists. -Financial Times
Another Scramjet researcher and aircraft design expert for the PLA's General Armaments Department, Huang Wei, worked on his PhD while at the University of Leeds between 2008 and 2010, according to a researcher at the UK university. Another Chinese scramjet expert, Luo Wenlei, wrote his PhD thesis on scramjet engines while at Leeds in 2014. Both Luo and Huang along with Luo's doctoral thesis supervisors have published together with Gen Wang on the scramjet technology.
One of the most commonly pushed collaborations has come from the PLA's Rocket Force - which includes Beijing's nuclear weapons and missile programs. One of the leading Chinese missile experts, Major General Hu Changhua, spent three months at Germany's University of Duisburg-Essen in 2008, while another RFEU lecturer, Zhou Zhijie, was a visiting scholar at the University of Manchester in 2009. Both Changhua and Zhijie concealed their afficilation with RFEU and instead named the Xi'an Research Institute of High Technology - which doesn't exist. The two continue to publish in English based on this falsified affiliation, according to entries in digital science publication databases. The professors in question either did not respond for comment, or denied working directly for the PLA.

US now has first and third most powerful supercomputers
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) unveiled Sierra the world's third fastest supercomputer. Sierra has a peak performance of 125 petaFLOPS - 125 quadrillion floating-point operations per second. Early indications using existing codes and benchmark tests are promising, demonstrating as predicted that Sierra can perform most required calculations far more efficiently in terms of cost and power consumption than systems consisting of CPUs alone. Depending on the application, Sierra is expected to be six to 10 times more capable than LLNL's 20- petaFLOP Sequoia, currently the world's eighth-fastest supercomputer.
It is the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) first large-scale production heterogeneous system, meaning each node incorporates both IBM central processing units (CPUs) and NVIDIA graphics processing units (GPUs). It is specifically designed for modeling and simulations essential for NNSA's Stockpile Stewardship Program, ongoing life extension programs, weapons science and nuclear deterrence. It is expected to go into use for classified production in early 2019.
Sierra has 240 computing racks and 4,320 nodes and takes up 7000 square feet. Each node has two IBM POWER 9 CPUs, four NVIDIA V100 GPUs and a Mellanox EDR InfiniBand interconnect. To prepare for this architecture, LLNL has partnered with IBM and NVIDIA to rapidly develop codes and prepare applications to effectively optimize the CPU/GPU nodes.
"The next frontier of supercomputing lies in Artificial Intelligence," said John Kelly, senior vice president, Cognitive Solutions and IBM Research. "IBM's decades-long partnership with LLNL has allowed us to build Sierra from the ground up with the unique design and architecture needed for applying AI to massive data sets. The tremendous insights researchers are seeing will only accelerate high-performance computing for research and business."
As the first NNSA production supercomputer backed by GPU-accelerated architecture, Sierra's acquisition required a fundamental shift in how scientists at the three NNSA laboratories program their codes to take advantage of the GPUs. The system's NVIDIA GPUs also present scientists with an opportunity to investigate the use of machine learning and deep learning to accelerate time-to-solution of physics codes. It is expected that simulation, leveraged by acceleration coming from the use of Artificial Intelligence technology, will be increasingly employed over the coming decade

The Tragic Decline of Music Literacy (and Quality)
Two primary sources for learning to read music are school programs and at home piano lessons. Public school music programs have been in decline since the 1980's, often with school administrations blaming budget cuts or needing to spend money on competing extracurricular programs. Prior to the 1980's, it was common for homes to have a piano with children taking piano lessons. Even home architecture incorporated what was referred to as a "piano window" in the living room which was positioned above an upright piano to help illuminate the music. Stores dedicated to selling pianos are dwindling across the country as fewer people take up the instrument. In 1909, piano sales were at their peak when more than 364,500 were sold, but sales have plunged to between 30,000 and 40,000 annually in the US. Demand for youth sports competes with music studies, but also, fewer parents are requiring youngsters to take lessons as part of their upbringing.
Besides the decline of music literacy and participation, there has also been a decline in the quality of music which has been proven scientifically by Joan Serra, a postdoctoral scholar at the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute of the Spanish National Research Council in Barcelona. Joan and his colleagues looked at 500,000 pieces of music between 1955-2010, running songs through a complex set of algorithms examining three aspects of those songs:

In this week's FOIA round-up, emails show correspondence between Amazon and Immigration and Customs Enforcement representatives regarding the tech giant's facial recognition software, public and confidential data from Chicago revealed a decade of sexual abuse of students throughout public schools, and a significant amount of National Aeronautics and Space Administration's historical artifacts have gone missing or been taken in the agency's lifetime, highlighting flawed storage and tracking procedures.
Amazon and ICE discuss facial recognition
The Daily Beast reported from emails made public that Amazon met with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement over the summer to recommend its facial recognition system. The software, called "Rekognition," can identify people from real-time video in a second.
The emails between ICE and Amazon representatives were originally released by the Project on Government Oversight. The emails include a follow-up to the meeting in which an Amazon Web Services federal sales principal followed up on the meeting's action items. Those action items included: a workshop to address "a big HSI problem" and an AWS Artificial Intelligence/machine learning technology briefing focused on several of the company's technologies, including Rekognition.

Q Research General #4581: Good Morning POTUS Edition
As U.S. government agencies seek to partner with the private sector to thwart cyberattacks and election meddling, the top U.S. Intelligence official questioned the logic of American companies who refuse to work with the U.S. government but partner with China.
Without explicitly naming Google, Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats said Oct. 18 during an event hosted by Cyberscoop that "some companies are reluctant to partner with us because they believe that it could hurt their brand name."
"Nevertheless, some of these very same companies turn right around and pursue access and production opportunities in China," Coats said.
Google said Oct. 8 that it would not compete for the Pentagon's cloud contract, Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure, because the work could conflict with its corporate values. The company is also considering creating a censored search engine in China.
Coats was critical of that reasoning.
"If you are a U.S. company that believes you should limit your partnership with the U.S. government on national security matters because it would hurt your brand, then perhaps you should think about the harm to our overarching national security interests of pursuing greater business opportunities in a country like China, where the private sector and the state often merge into the same," Coats said.
Google's decision has drawn a host of critics in Washington from Bob Work, the former deputy secretary of defense, to Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark. The company did not respond to emailed questions.
It comes as the U.S. government aims to partner with the private sector to thwart cyberattacks and election meddling. The Department of Homeland Security opened up a cyber risk sharing center in July. Christopher Krebs, an under secretary for the department and one of the agency's top cyber officials, met with Google and other companies in Silicon Valley this summer to discuss securing the midterm elections.
Google's decision comes months after after it pulled out of another U.S. government contract. The Silicon Valley giant also announced earlier this year that it would not renew an agreement with the Pentagon for Project Maven, which uses Artificial Intelligence technology with drones. At the same time, Google is opening up an Artificial Intelligence center in China.
Earlier this week, Jeff Bezos, Amazon's chief said his company would continue to work with the Pentagon. Amazon Web Services bid on the JEDI contract, which could be worth as much as $10 billion. During the WIRED25 summit Oct. 15, Bezos was critical of companies who would not work with the U.S. government.
"If big tech companies are going to turn their back on the US Department of Defense, this country is going to be in trouble."

Q Research General #4573: You Might Be Anon Edition
In a letter to the DOD, two Republican congressmembers accused military leaders of violating federal law and departmental ethics standards by moving forward with plans to award the JEDI contract to Amazon
TWO MEMBERS OF Congress are seeking a formal investigation into claims that the bidding process for a contentious $10 billion Pentagon contract was rigged in favor of Amazon.
The contract in question would give one company full reign over the Defense Department's Joint Enterprise Defense Initiative, or JEDI Cloud-a program that the Pentagon has described as "truly about increasing the lethality of our department." JEDI is part of the DOD's quest to bring military operations into the modern era by partnering with a commercial cloud provider to streamline defense operations, upgrade data-analytics programs using Artificial Intelligence, and provide soldiers with real-time mission data.
In a letter to the Defense Department's inspector general on Monday, House Appropriations committee members Tom Cole of Oklahoma and Steve Womack of Arkansas, both Republicans, accused military leaders of violating federal law and departmental ethics standards by moving forward with plans to award the JEDI contract to a single company, despite extensive criticism from industry leaders and lawmakers. Womack is also chair of the House Budget Committee; Cole chairs an appropriations subcommittee.
The two legislators expressed concern that the proposed contract was written in a way that seemed "to be tailored to one specific contractor," who they described as having "significant connections" to a number of military leaders involved in drafting the oddly specific requirements for the JEDI program. The lawmakers did not specify the contractor, but it is clear that their comments were a reference to Amazon. Oracle, IBM, and Google, as well as some outside experts, have expressed similar concerns in the months since the details of the solicitation process were first released.
Amazon long has been considered the likely winner of JEDI contract, as it is one of the only cloud providers with the infrastructure, funds, and security clearance necessary to meet all of the Pentagon's requirements. The criticism is more acute because of the Pentagon's insistence on awarding JEDI to a single bidder, rather than several companies and contractors.
Both Oracle and IBM have filed official protests with the US Government Accountability Office, on the grounds that the DOD's decision to award the $10 billion contract to just one company both restricts innovation and poses a massive security risk. "JEDI turns its back on the preferences of Congress and the administration, is a bad use of taxpayer dollars, and was written with just one company in mind," IBM General Manager Sam Gordy said in a statement in advance of JEDI's bid deadline.
Congress has held numerous meetings with Pentagon officials in an attempt to address these claims, but Womack and Cole's letter indicates that some lawmakers still have serious concerns about the program and the intentions behind it. "The department has not provided any adequate explanation as to why they continue to insist on a contract structure that has been widely criticized by Congress and industry," reads the letter.
The DOD's Office of Inspector General said it is reviewing the request. An investigation would further delay the award process for JEDI, which has already been subject to numerous setbacks on account of inquiries from Congress and GAO protests.
At the WIRED25 summit earlier this month, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos affirmed his support for the DOD and defended the company's decision to continue to pursue government contracts amid protests from tech workers. "If big tech companies are going to turn their back on US Department of Defense, this country is going to be in trouble," said Bezos.

Q Research General #4530: And Into The Night We Go Edition
Making perfect sense, DARPA's Information Innovation Office kicked of its Machine Common Sense effort last week with a "Proposers' Day" designed to brief potential bidders on program requirements. The key areas of focus are two-fold: building machines that learn from experience "like a child" and learning from reading like a "research librarian."
The agency said it would fund research exploring developmental psychology, then establish a set of cognitive development milestones for determining how the resulting computational models learn in three areas: experience learning, prediction and "expectation" as well as problem solving.
A parallel effort will use web browsing to assemble a repository of machine common sense capable of answering queries based on natural language and images. The results will be tested against the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence benchmark. (Paul Allen, the Microsoft co-founder who died earlier this month, doubled the institute's budget earlier this year to expand its research into machine common sense.

Facebook's New Troll-Crushing "War Room" Confirms Surveillance By Corporation Is The New America
Facebook on Wednesday briefed journalists on its latest attempt to stop fake news during the election season, offering an exclusive tour of a windowless conference room at its California headquarters, packed with millennials monitoring Facebook user behavior trends around the clock, said The Verge. This is Facebook's first ever "war room," designed to bring leaders from 20 teams, representing 20,000 global employees working on safety and security, in one room to lead a crusade against conservatives misinformation on the platform as political campaigning shifts into hyperdrive in the final weeks leading up to November's US midterm elections. The team includes threat Intelligence, data science engineering, research, legal, operations, policy, communications, and representatives from Facebook and Facebook-owned WhatsApp and Instagram. "We know when it comes to an election, every moment counts," said Samidh Chakrabarti, head of civic engagement at Facebook, who oversees operations in the war room. "So if there are late-breaking issues we see on the platform, we need to be able to detect and respond to them in real time, as quickly as possible."
This public demonstration of Facebook's internal efforts comes after a series of security breaches and user hacks, dating back to the 2016 presidential elections. Since the announcement of the Cambridge Analytics privacy scandal in March, Facebook shares have plunged -14.5% It seems the war room is nothing more than a public relations stunt, which the company is desperately trying to regain control of the narrative and avoid more negative headlines. The war room is staffed with millennials from 4 am until midnight, and starting on Oct. 22, social media workers will be monitoring trends 24/7 leading up to the elections. Leaders from 20 teams will be present in the room. Workers will use machine learning and Artificial Intelligence programs to monitor the platform for trends, hate speech, sophisticated trolls, fake news, and of course, Russian, Chinese, and Iranian interference. Nathan Gleicher, Facebook's head of cybersecurity, told CNBC the company wants fair elections, and that "debate around the election be authentic. … The biggest concern is any type of effort to manipulate that."
In the first round of presidential elections in Brazil, Facebook's war room identified an effort to suppress voter turnout: "Content that was telling people that due to protest, that the election would be delayed a day," said Chakrabarti. "This was not true, completely false. So we were able to detect that using AI and machine learning. The war room was alerted to it. Our data scientist looked into what was behind it and then they passed it to our engineers and operations specialist to be able to remove this at scale from our platform before it could go viral." The war room has been focused on the US and Brazilian elections because it says misinformation in elections is a global problem that never ends. Gleicher warns that Facebook is observing an increased effort to manipulate the public debate ahead of US midterms. "Part of the reason we have this war room up and running, is so that as these threats develop, not only do we respond to them quickly, but we continue to speed up our response, and make our response more effective and efficient." Gleicher adds that it is not just foreign interference but also domestic "bad actors" who are hiding their identity, using fake accounts to spread misinformation. "This is always going to be an arms race, so the adversaries that we're facing who seek to meddle in elections, they are sophisticated and well-funded," said Chakrabarti. "That is the reason we've made huge investments both in people and technology to stay ahead and secure our platforms." Big Brother is watching you: surveillance by corporations is the new America.

Baidu becomes first Chinese firm to join US-based group that addresses the ethics of AI
Baidu, operator of China's largest internet search service and a national champion in Artificial Intelligence, has become the first Chinese company to join a US-based consortium that studies and formulates best practices on AI technologies.
The Partnership on AI (PAI), which now counts more than 70 members, was established in 2016 in the wake of growing concerns over the impact of AI on industries as well as people and the larger society.
"Admitting our first Chinese member is an important step towards building a truly global partnership," said Terah Lyons, the founding executive director of the PAI, in a statement released on Tuesday in the US.
Headquartered in San Francisco, the PAI was formed by Amazon.com, Facebook, IBM, Microsoft, and Alphabet's Google and DeepMind Technologies to advance public understanding of AI technologies.

For Dimon, who oversees the largest U.S. bank by assets, technology upgrades are critical to fending off competition from agile consumer-friendly upstarts who are winning with millennials and to addressing the constant and evolving risks associated with fraud and cybersecurity. Dimon said in his latest shareholder letter that the bank has almost 50,000 employees in technology and is pouring money into Artificial Intelligence and machine learning to reduce risk and improve underwriting, while also building up its cloud infrastructure. In August, J.P. Morgan jumped into the crowded market of online investing when it introduced a mobile and web service that includes free or discounted trades.
J.P. Morgan's fintech office, scheduled to open in 2020, follows its acquisition last year of payments start-up WePay, a competitor to PayPal and Stripe in serving small businesses. WePay and its more than 275 employees will be moving to Palo Alto from the company's office in nearby Redwood City.

CORRECTED-Data project aims to stop human trafficking before it occurs - organisers
NEW YORK (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Computer giant IBM Corp, financial services company Western Union Co and European police launched a project Thursday to share financial data which they said may, in future, be able to predict human trafficking before it occurs.
The shared data hub will collect information on money moving around the world and compare it to known ways that traffickers move their illicit gains, highlighting red flags signaling potential trafficking, organisers said.
"We will build and aggregate that material, using IBM tools, into an understanding of hot spots and routes and trends," said Neil Giles, a director at global anti-slavery group Stop the Traffik that is participating in the project.
Data collection, digital tools and modern technology are the latest weapons in the fight against human trafficking, estimated to be a $150 billion-a-year global business, according to the International Labour Organization (ILO).
The U.N. has set a goal of 2030 for ending forced labour and modern slavery worldwide, with more than 40 million people estimated to be enslaved around the world.
Certain patterns and suspicious activity might trigger a block of a transaction or an investigation into possible forced labour or sex slavery, organisers said.
The project will utilise IBM's Internet cloud services as well as Artificial Intelligence and machine learning to compare data and to spot specific trafficking terms, said Sophia Tu, director of IBM Corporate Citizenship.
With a large volume of high-quality data, the hub one day may predict trafficking before it happens, she told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
"You can't do it today because we're in the process of building out that amount of data and those capabilities, but it's in the roadmap for what we want to do," she said.
IBM has been counting on its Artificial Intelligence and cloud businesses as it attempts to reverse years of revenue declines.
But neither has met analyst expectations, with results this week showing slowed sales of cognitive software business, which includes Artificial Intelligence, and flat cloud revenues.
And while law enforcement is teaming up with banks and data specialists to chase trafficking, experts have cautioned that it can be a cat-and-mouse game in which traffickers quickly move on to new tactics to elude capture.
Also, less than 1 percent of the estimated $1.5 trillion plus laundered by criminals worldwide each year through the financial system is frozen or confiscated, according to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime.
Along with IBM and Western Union, participants include Europol, Europe's law enforcement agency, telecommunications giant Liberty Global and British banks Barclays and Lloyds, organisers said.

The robotic protectors can see what you're doing and even talk back to you, but the machines created by a New Yorker have prompted serious privacy concerns, CBS2's Clark Fouraker reported Tuesday.
One of the models, named "Rosie," uses the same technology as a self-driving car to patrol the sidewalks at the Lefrak City Apartments in Queens.
"This is a crazy combination of Artificial Intelligence, self-driving autonomous technology, robotics, and analytics in something that's actually useful for society," said Knightscope CEO William Santana Li.

The Partnership on AI (PAI) was set up two years ago to generate best practices for AI technology. It's funded by its members, which include companies like Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Microsoft, and also partners with government entities like the UN and Human Rights Watch. Membership does not necessitate any legally binding promises, but companies who join PAI must "believe in and endeavor to uphold" eight key tenets.
PAI's executive director, Terah Lyons, told The Verge that the group cannot accomplish its aims without "insight from the leading global AI actors" - including Chinese firms. "China has a clear ambition to become a global leader in AI by 2030 and is making massive investments to that end," said Lyons. "We cannot have a comprehensive and global conversation on AI development unless China has a seat at the table."
ARE PAI'S AIMS AT ODDS WITH CHINESE DEPLOYMENT OF AI?
However, while proper development of AI is certainly a global concern, there is certainly a difference in approach between Western and Chinese companies, especially when it comes to data collection and user privacy. China is using AI and related technologies like facial recognition to create a far-reaching surveillance network that critics say is dystopian. Meanwhile, one of PAI's core tenets promises that members will work to "protect the privacy and security of individuals."
PAI's stance on user privacy may clash in future with China's expansive use of AI for surveillance. Jonathan McIntosh / Creative Commons
Lyons acknowledged that different nations will have different approaches to AI depending on "national needs and priorities," and that it was important to recognize these. "We see potentially diverging perceptions about the development and use of AI as something to embrace and attempt to overcome through our work," said Lyons, who stressed again that PAI cannot achieve its goals "unless we have insight from the other major AI actor on the global stage (China)."
In order to achieve its goals, PAI has created a number of working groups on particular topics, like "AI, Labor and the Economy," "Safety Critical AI," and "AI and Social Good." However, none of the groups have yet published research.
Baidu is the first Chinese member of PAI, but it's not the most influential tech company working with AI in China. The company had an early lead in AI, and is pursuing familiar programs like self-driving cars and a voice-activated assistant. But in recent years, China's other tech giants, like Alibaba and Tencent, have spent more money on their AI development. At the same time, a new generation of firms like iFlytek, SenseTime, and Bytedance have carved out a place for themselves in sub-domains like facial recognition.
Welcoming Baidu to Partnership on AI may be the start of the group's outreach in China, but it can't be the end.

In the second decade of the 21st century, liberalism has begun to lose credibility. Questions about the ability of liberal democracy to provide for the middle class have grown louder; politics have grown more tribal; and in more and more countries, leaders are showing a penchant for demagoguery and autocracy. The causes of this political shift are complex, but they appear to be intertwined with current technological developments. The technology that favored democracy is changing, and as Artificial Intelligence develops, it might change further.

Every major university is wrestling with how to adapt to the technology wave of Artificial Intelligence - how to prepare students not only to harness the powerful tools of A.I., but also to thoughtfully weigh its ethical and social implications. A.I. courses, conferences and joint majors have proliferated in the last few years.
But the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is taking a particularly ambitious step, creating a new college backed by a planned investment of $1 billion. Two-thirds of the funds have already been raised, M.I.T. said, in announcing the initiative on Monday.
The linchpin gift of $350 million came from Stephen A. Schwarzman, chief executive of the Blackstone Group, the big private equity firm. The college, called the M.I.T. Stephen A. Schwarzman College of Computing, will create 50 new faculty positions and many more fellowships for graduate students.

-"It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name. This calls for wisdom."

12 october 2018: Most Americans know about a FICO score. It measures consumer credit risk. It is named after the Fair, Isaac and Company data analytics firm based in San Jose, CA. It scores a person's ability to pay back loans. The higher your score, the easier it is to get a loan on better terms. The lower your score, the more difficult it becomes.
Social networking has created new opportunities for data brokers to collect more kinds of data on you. Vulture lawyers now hover over this new space. In 2001, they re-wrote end user license agreements to lure unsuspecting Internet users into giving away their personally identifiable data in return for free stuff. The typical uniformed user response is "I don't have anything to hide" as the data brokers rub their hands together fiendishly.
Social End User Licenses: Immoral abuses of the Bill of Rights
For example, the current Google Terms of Service, under "Your Content in our Services, " paragraph one says "You retain ownership of any intellectual property rights that you hold in that content. In short, what belongs to you stays yours." So far so good.
But now, the legal sleight of hand follows in the very next sentence:
"When you upload, submit, store, send or receive content to or through our Services, you give Google (and those we work with) a worldwide license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, create derivative works (such as those resulting from translations, adaptations or other changes we make so that your content works better with our Services), communicate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute such content." [Sucker]
Google-Alphabet giveth, and Google-Alphabet taketh away.
This is proof positive that freedom loving peoples cannot allow spies, lawyers, bankers, accountants and programmers to control our social discourse.
This is proof that these people, in whom we invested our trust, are criminals and not worthy of that trust.

Q Research General #4393: A Week Of Great Rallies Edition
Full name: Oscar Humphrey Bohun Gyde
Date of Birth: 14th July 1936
Occupation: retired Consultant Haematologist
Religion: Royal Arch Freemasonry
Interests: computing and Artificial Intelligence
Dr O H B Gyde is a fully paid-up member of British Intelligence and comes from a British Intelligence family. He also recruited his children into the Intelligence Services.
Dr O H B Gyde taught modules to medical students at a university in Libya whilst he was a Fellow of Birmingham University. During this time he was also acting as a 'courier' for MI6.
He also negotiated 'mind control' programs with notaries from Mormon Universities in Utah, for MI5.
Artificial Intelligence is Dr O H B Gyde's specialist interest and the 're-wiring of human brains' as he once put it.
To be specific, the repulsive practice of mind-splitting, left/right brain programming and the compartmentalization of the human brain.
In short, the reduction of human beings into robots or automatons under mind control, rather than the evolution of human psychology in terms of philosophy, science, arts and culture.
Why did Dr Gyde believe that this insane and degenerate practice of mind control was a valuable area of research?
He was a victim of it himself. NHS colleagues outside of British Intelligence, have informally diagnosed him with 'High-Functioning Asperger's Syndrome' but he has never had treatment or therapy for this condition and it therefore remains officially, undiagnosed.
Dr Gyde's family belonged to Royal Arch Freemasonry and a Royal Nazi cult which has controlled MI6, since its inception as a military Intelligence department in the early 20th century.
The mind control program that Dr Gyde was primarily involved with, was the Illuminati program, otherwise known as 'Project Monarch'.
The existence of this mind control project has been admitted to by the US government in US lawcourts where damages were subsequently paid to the victims of Monarch experiments. British Intelligence has never admitted to its role in this program and refuses to do so. One can only guess that the cost of lawsuits against them, would be too high.
British Illuminati (or 'Intelligence') families recruit and program their own children from birth. Here is a brief list of what Dr Gyde and his associates in the NHS did to their own children and others:
The sadistic practice of the 'Potter's Wheel' i.e. the physical and psychological abuse of babies and young children to make them disassociate and 'mind-split' - usually done by electric shock.
The sexual abuse and rape of young children by the Illuminati family and other cult members.
The Masonic rites and rituals involving the worship of Lucifer the Light-Bringer.
The use and abuse of NHS facilities to experiment with blood and DNA.
The targeting of babies in the womb, chosen for the 'X' factor and subsequent experimentation before and after they are born, unbeknownst to their parents.

The same day, Amazon competitor Walmart secured a patent for an interactive display that can sync up with another pending Walmart patent: a shopping cart handle that can record a customer's biometric data. Those moves come weeks after life insurance giant John Hancock announced that all its plans would encourage customers to wear an activity tracker like a FitBit.

Any Artificial Intelligence left to its own devices will eventually become politically incorrect.
Statistical inference learning from real-world observations without any emotional steering will invariably cause it to discover patterns and derive human demographic stereotypes as accurate predictors.
Noticing patterns is hate.

AI (Artificial Intelligence) is a fraud
There is no such thing
It is a scam to get money
To get funding and big budgets
Which are easier to oilfer
Because there is nothing to see
When the king gives you a ton of cash
For invisible clothes,
The tailors can live high off the hog
They can stash the cash with friends
Stuff it in the mattress
And all sorts of fuckery.
Any software can be called Artificial Intelligence
Because that is all that AI is
It is software
It is NOT intelligent
All software is Artificial
Just like all the clothes you are wearing
If you want to call it "decision support software"
Like we used to do
You won't get the big budgets
But you will be telling the truth
And the users will better understand its limitations

Open Philanthropy Project
Who We Are
The Open Philanthropy Project identifies outstanding giving opportunities, makes grants, follows the results, and publishes our findings. Our main funders are Cari Tuna and Dustin Moskovitz, a co-founder of Facebook and Asana. Meet our staff here.
Our history
Prior to becoming an independent organization in June 2017, the Open Philanthropy Project was operated as a partnership between Cari and Dustin's foundation, Good Ventures, and the charity evaluator GiveWell.
GiveWell was founded in 2007 by Elie Hassenfeld and Holden Karnofsky, who had been trying to donate as effectively as possible. They aimed to help people facing a similar situation to their own: interested in giving to charity, short on time for researching their options, and looking for highly evidence-backed charities to support.
Good Ventures was founded in 2011 by Cari Tuna and Dustin Moskovitz. They were looking to give their fortune away in their lifetimes, and as effectively as possible, in order to help humanity thrive. Cari took the role of President, and spent her first year speaking with a broad range of people in search of advice.
The two organizations found that they shared a great deal in terms of their vision and values, and came to collaborate closely. The partnership adopted the Open Philanthropy Project name in 2014, and became an independent organization in 2017.
How we work
The Open Philanthropy Project is structured as a limited liability company (LLC) and is governed by a Board of Managers currently consisting of Cari Tuna, Dustin Moskovitz, Elie Hassenfeld, Alexander Berger, and Holden Karnofsky.
The Open Philanthropy Project LLC employs staff but it does not regularly make grants to other organizations. We typically recommend grants to the Open Philanthropy Project fund, a donor-advised fund at the Silicon Valley Community Foundation. Support for the Open Philanthropy Project fund comes primarily from Cari and Dustin, though historically other donors have contributed as well. In some cases, the Open Philanthropy Project makes grant recommendations directly to Good Ventures, the Open Philanthropy Action Fund (a 501(c)(4) social welfare organization), or to other entities, including some that are not primarily funded or controlled by Dustin or Cari. Although the majority of our funding recommendations are directed to 501(c)(3) organizations, we also recommend contributions to other kinds of organizations when we believe that the programmatic benefits justify them.
The Open Philanthropy Project, Good Ventures, and GiveWell share office space, but are separate entities with separate financial and human resources and separate governing bodies. Currently, Good Ventures does not have any employees of its own. Instead, it largely relies on the research and recommendations of Open Philanthropy Project staff. The Open Philanthropy Project remains an independent organization from Good Ventures, partly because we would eventually like to play a similar advisory role for other highly aligned major donors.

Google abandons fight for military's $10 billion JEDI cloud contract
Google says it won't compete for a $10 billion Pentagon cloud-computing contract to help the U.S. military better leverage Artificial Intelligence capabilities because the project might conflict with corporate limits on the use of its technologies. Worth as much as $1 billion a year over a decade, the Joint Enterprise Defense Initiative's cloud-computing initiative is a part of Defense Secretary James Mattis's drive to maintain the U.S. military's competitive edge as Artificial Intelligence and machine-learning capabilities change the nature of battle. While the contract is a lucrative one, "we couldn't be assured that it would align with our Artificial Intelligence principles," which include a pledge not to build weapons or other systems intended to cause harm, Google said in a statement explaining its decision. Some of the JEDI cloud's requirements were also outside of the company's current government certifications, Google said.
Google had every intention of bidding for, and possibly winning, the JEDI contract. They spent considerable resources and hours of top executive time courting military officials to do exactly this. They only dropped out due to sustained employee pressure. #TechWontBuildIt - Tech Workers Coalition (@techworkersco) October 8, 2018
The Tech Workers Coalition, an organization of industry employees concentrated in the San Francisco Bay area and Seattle, said the decision was based primarily on "sustained employee pressure."
Not only had Google intended to compete for the JEDI contract, the company had courted military officials extensively with the hope of winning such projects, said the groups, whose members have expressed concern about the ethics of certain uses of Artificial Intelligence. "Google points to its AI principles as the reason for this decision, principles that are themselves a response to internal dissent," the coalition said. "The truth is that the project was stopped by the thousands of workers who demanded a say in what they build."The Mountain View, Calif.-based company is still working with the U.S. on other cloud projects, and Cowen Washington Research Group analyst Roman Schweizer noted that the Pentagon has emphasized that more such contracts are upcoming. "Had the JEDI contract been open to multiple vendors, we would have submitted a compelling solution for portions of it," Google said. "A multi-cloud approach is in the best interest of government agencies, because it allows them to choose the right cloud for the right workload. At a time when new technology is constantly becoming available, customers should have the ability to take advantage of that innovation."

Google has abandoned efforts to win a $10bn (£7.7bn) Pentagon cloud computing contract.
The firm said the work might have transgressed principles it published in June limiting its Artificial-Intelligence-related activities.
Thousands of its staff had previously protested against its involvement in a separate Department of Defense project.
The tech firm revealed the latest decision hours after confirming it had exposed Google+ users' personal data.
Cloud clash
The Pentagon contract was for a project named after the Star Wars films - the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure cloud (Jedi).
Bids were due to be submitted on Friday.
Securing the contract, which involves about a decade's worth of work, could have helped Google catch up with Amazon and Microsoft - the two market leaders in selling cloud computing services to governments and businesses.

WARNING: The Jews are playing Major 4D chess!
The Jews are playing both sides. The recent Kavanaugh protests had the intended effect on both sides. It made the left look like a band of screeching banshees from the perspective of the right. Simultaneously, it increase their martyrdom and hate for the right from the perspective of the left. The (((IDW))) as well as chills on /pol/ are spreading propaganda about Civil War conditions.
Think about the word "mob rule". Who was the one who originally kindled the widespread perception of "mob rule"? It was (((Dave Rubin))) who started it. It became a meme and spread throughout all over the internet. if you heard (((Eric Weinstein))) spreak about the origins of (((IDW))) and how he he came up with the name, he said he knew it would become "memetic". They know how to drop memes and what will become effective. "Mob rule" was a perfectly orchestrated meme.
Then you have (((Sam Harris))) who has been talking about free will vs. determinism for years. I partly agree with him, determinism is true only if you do a post-hoc analysis of an action, but people do consider variables when they are actually making decisions. His goal is to reuduce the perception that people have "freedom" or they make rational decisions, or they are a "mob" who should not be given decision making responsibility.
Then you have this interview, which (((Sam Harris))) retweeted, which fully fleshes out the propaganda.
https://www.wired.com/story/Artificial-Intelligence-yuval-noah-harari-tristan-harris/
These three Jews are redefining the words "free will" to mean any action that is influenced. But ofcourse as a matter of fact, all actions and thoughts regardless of what it is, are influenced, that doesn't abolish "free will".
(((Yuval))) especially is a liar like most Jews. On Sam Harris's podcast he pretended to be a nationalist, for instance. But in this leftist Wired interview he re-tailors his dialogue towards a leftist audience. He says that people who support Brexit and Putin don't have free will, for instance.
What's the objective?: They want to once again cause a revolution in this country similar to what happened in Russia, and then after a side has won they will ride in with tanks and take over power exactly as what happened after the Russian Revolution when the Bolsheviks took over power after the Revolution. And ofcourse they will justify their non-democratic government by saying that people are the "mob" and don't have decision making capacity or free will.
Be careful goys, there are terrible conspiracies afoot.

Schools Pushing For Police-Grade Surveillance Technology To "Protect" Students
After the most recent school shooting in Parkland, Florida, schools across the U.S. are installing police-grade surveillance "gunshot-detection systems," metal detectors and even biometric locks requiring facial recognition or a person's iris, The Atlantic reported.
Hermosa Elementary in Artesia, New Mexico, has installed a network of wireless microphones that can analyze the audio signature of gunfire.
The devices are placed high on the ceiling in classrooms and hallways to alert authorities of the sound and location of gunshots. They can then identify the make and model of the gun/guns, and automatically seamlessly lock doors and set off alarms throughout the school grounds.
Besides making schools more into prisons with this technology by conditioning children that this is for their safety, the other danger is allowing Artificial Intelligence to decide when to automatically lock doors.
A horrifying scenario can emerge where the doors lock before students evacuate the room and actually prevents them from escaping a potential shooter.
The company responsible for installing the surveillance tech is EAGL Technology, a New Mexico security company. The technology was originally designed by engineers at the Department of Energy for police.
On a rough estimate, installing EAGL's system throughout an entire school costs about $25,000. However, EAGL installed Hermosa's system for free as a test, according to the report. The report added that schools in Texas and Colorado have explored using its system as well.
Seeing as schools are struggling to pay teachers and for school equipment, one has to wonder where the money will come from for this technology?
That's not the only technology being used in schools, according to The Atlantic.
In March, the Randolph Central School District in New York announced plans for cameras enabled with license-plate-reading technologies, part of its planned $500,000 security upgrade. The cameras would scan visitors' license plates, then match them to police databases of stolen vehicles and active warrants. And in June, the Lockport City School District in New York allotted $95,000 annually in state grant money for a district-wide facial-recognition system. Provided by the Ontario-based biometrics company SN Technologies, the proposed system would scan visitors' faces, comparing them against criminal databases and alerting police if there's a match. Similar proposals have the go-ahead in New Jersey, Wyoming, and Arkansas, where Magnolia School District officials approved nearly $300,000 for the technology.

From yesterday, but a big SV and China tie..
https://www.npr.org/2018/10/07/654339389/china-makes-a-big-play-in-silicon-valley
A year ago, Chinese President Xi Jinping stood before the 19th Communist Party Congress and laid out his ambitious plan for China to become a world leader by 2025 in advanced technologies such as robotics, biotechnology and Artificial Intelligence.
It was seen as a direct challenge to U.S. leadership in advanced technology. James Lewis, a specialist in China and technology at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, says China recognizes that technological superiority helps give the United States an edge in national security and wants in on it.
"The Chinese figured out that technology is the key to wealth and power, and the source of technology is still the West for China," says Lewis. The question is: "How do they get their hands on that Western technology?"
The Chinese government has been forming global partnerships with Western think tanks, recruiting key talent at networking events sponsored by the Chinese government and working with U.S. universities, says Michael Brown, managing director of the Pentagon's Defense Innovation Unit in Mountain View, Calif. The unit was set up in 2015 to help the U.S. military capitalize on emerging commercial technologies.
"I'd say they're very systematic, very long term in their approach and very well-funded," Brown says.
And, he notes, there is serious concern in Washington that China could acquire too much sensitive U.S. technology and transfer it back home.
"They don't play by the same rules that we do. So cybertheft is on the table; industrial espionage is on the table," Brown says.

Q Research General #4291: Swamps are for Draining Edition
China has designs on Europe. Here is how Europe should respond
As Chinese investment pours into the European Union, the Europeans are beginning to worry
EUROPE has caught China's eye. Chinese investments there have soared, to nearly ?36bn ($40bn) in 2016-almost double the previous years' total. Chinese FDI fell in 2017, but the share spent in Europe rose from a fifth to a quarter. For the most part, this money is welcome. Europe's trading relationship with China has made both sides richer.
However, China is also using its financial muscle to buy political influence). The Czech president, Milos Zeman, wants his country to be China's "unsinkable aircraft-carrier" in Europe. Last year Greece stopped the European Union from criticising China's human-rights record at a UN forum. Hungary and Greece prevented the EU from backing a court ruling against China's expansive territorial claims in the South China Sea. Faced with such behaviour, it is only prudent for Europeans to be nervous.
And not only Europeans. The terms on which the emerging undemocratic superpower invests in the outside world are of interest to all countries-particularly if other things, such as foreign policy, may be affected. Americans, increasingly consumed by fears that China poses a commercial and military threat, should be mindful of competition for the loyalties of its oldest ally. For everyone's sake, it matters that Europeans gauge their welcome to China wisely. Just now, they do not.
A sense of perspective
Many of China's plans in Europe are just what you would expect of a rising economy. Some investments are private, profit-seeking and harmless. Acquiring technology by buying innovative firms, including in Germany's Mittelstand, is reasonable, too, so long as deals are scrutinised for national-security risks. There are also things that China, unlike Russia, does not want, such as to undermine the EU or sow chaos by furtively supporting populist, xenophobic parties. It would rather Europe remained stable and open for business. On issues such as climate change and trade, China has acted more responsibly than the Trump administration, seeking to uphold global accords rather than chuck grenades at them.
China has used the EU's need for unanimity in many of its decisions to pick off one or two member states in order to block statements or actions of which it disapproves-as with human rights.
Other Europeans seize on such examples to jump to the opposite conclusion. They fear that Chinese lucre will one day undermine Europe's military alliance with the United States. Fortunately, that is a long way off, as the French and British navies have shown by joining America and Japan to challenge China in the South China Sea
. Montenegro should not have allowed its debts to China to become so perilously vast. Hungary and Poland should have looked harder at certain Chinese infrastructure projects that offer poor value for money or were never properly completed.
Europeans could do more to substantiate their talk of "reciprocity", or the mantra that the EU and China should treat each other as each wishes to be treated. Sometimes Chinese cash buys unsubtle happy talk. More often, it leads to self-censorship and punch-pulling from even prestigious academies.
And Europe should aim to speak as one. None of its states alone can face down China but, acting together, they could do so for decades to come. The EU could, for example, use qualified-majority voting (QMV) rather than unanimous votes on some subjects sensitive to China, such as human rights. This would not work for everything-most EU nations would balk at giving Brussels a veto over how they deploy their military forces. But QMV would make it harder for China to paralyse the EU by picking off one small member at a time. The EU could also co-ordinate investment-screening processes by member states. And it could take better care of those southern and eastern countries particularly vulnerable to China's influence and provide alternative sources of investment for the projects they deem important. A little more intra-European solidarity would go a long way.
What money can't buy
America has a role to play, too. Ideally the Trump administration would stop treating Europeans as free-riders on American power who deserve a good kicking. On trade, especially, the EU is a powerful potential ally in getting China to abide by global norms. America should also work more closely with European governments to set up common standards of transparency, graft-busting and the prevention of influence-peddling-
which would make it harder for China to impose its own rules on small countries. At a time when standards for IT and Artificial Intelligence risk splitting into a Chinese camp and an American one, Europe can help find a middle path.

THE CABAL'S PLAN TO MAKE CHINA GREAT WITH OUR WEALTH (as told by Mike Pence)
When the Second World War arose, we stood together as allies . . . America ensured that China became a charter member of the United Nations . . . But soon after it took power in 1949, the Chinese Communist Party began to pursue authoritarian expansionism. . . . only five years after our nations had fought together, we fought each other in the mountains and valleys of the Korean Peninsula
After the fall of the Soviet Union, we assumed that a free China was inevitable. Heady with optimism at the turn of the 21st Century, America agreed to give Beijing open access to our economy, and we brought China into the World Trade Organization.
Previous administrations made this choice in the hope that freedom in China would expand in all of its forms ... But that hope has gone unfulfilled.
But not even the brutal Korean War . . . American universities began training a new generation of Chinese engineers, business leaders, scholars, and officials.
Previous administrations made this choice in the hope that freedom in China would expand in all of its forms -- . . .. But that hope has gone unfulfilled.
Over the past 17 years, China's GDP has grown nine-fold; it's become the second-largest economy in the world. Much of this success was driven by American investment in China
China's actions have contributed to a trade deficit with the United States that last year ran to $375 billion -- nearly half of our global trade deficit. As President Trump said just this week, in his words, "We rebuilt China" over the last 25 years.
Now, through the "Made in China 2025" plan, the Communist Party has set its sights on controlling 90 percent of the world's most advanced industries, including robotics, biotechnology, and Artificial Intelligence. ... to obtain American intellectual property -- the foundation of our economic leadership -- by any means necessary.
Beijing now requires many American businesses to hand over their trade secrets as the cost of doing business in China
China now spends as much on its military as the rest of Asia combined, and Beijing has prioritized capabilities to erode America's military advantages on land, at sea, in the air, and in space
China's aggression was on display this week, when a Chinese naval vessel came within 45 yards of the USS Decatur as it . . . . We will not be intimidated and we will not stand down.
And by 2020, China's rulers aim to implement an Orwellian system premised on controlling virtually every facet of human life - the so-called "Social Credit Score." . . . In the words of that program's official blueprint, it will "allow the trustworthy to roam everywhere under heaven, while making it hard for the discredited to take a single step."
And when it comes to religious freedom, a new wave of persecution is crashing down on Chinese Christians, Buddhists, and Muslims.
"China has opposed the actions and goals of the U.S. government. Indeed, China is building its own relationships with America's allies and enemies that contradict any peaceful or productive intentions of Beijing."
Sri Lanka, which took on massive debt . . . so Beijing pressured Sri Lanka to deliver the new port directly into Chinese hands. It may soon become a forward military base for China's growing blue-water navy.
I want to tell you today what we know about China's actions here at home - some of which we've gleaned from Intelligence assessments, some of which are publicly available. But all of which are fact.

"I want to tell you today what we know about China's actions here at home - some of which we've gleaned from Intelligence assessments, some of which are publicly available. But all of which are fact."
THE PLAN TO MAKE CHINA GREAT
When the Second World War arose, we stood together as allies . . . America ensured that China became a charter member of the United Nations . . . But soon after it took power in 1949, the Chinese Communist Party began to pursue authoritarian expansionism. . . . only five years after our nations had fought together, we fought each other in the mountains and valleys of the Korean Peninsula
After the fall of the Soviet Union, we assumed that a free China was inevitable. Heady with optimism at the turn of the 21st Century, America agreed to give Beijing open access to our economy, and we brought China into the World Trade Organization.
Previous administrations made this choice in the hope that freedom in China would expand in all of its forms ... But that hope has gone unfulfilled.
But not even the brutal Korean War . . . American universities began training a new generation of Chinese engineers, business leaders, scholars, and officials.
Previous administrations made this choice in the hope that freedom in China would expand in all of its forms -- . . .. But that hope has gone unfulfilled.
Over the past 17 years, China's GDP has grown nine-fold; it's become the second-largest economy in the world. Much of this success was driven by American investment in China
China's actions have contributed to a trade deficit with the United States that last year ran to $375 billion -- nearly half of our global trade deficit. As President Trump said just this week, in his words, "We rebuilt China" over the last 25 years.
Now, through the "Made in China 2025" plan, the Communist Party has set its sights on controlling 90 percent of the world's most advanced industries, including robotics, biotechnology, and Artificial Intelligence. ... to obtain American intellectual property -- the foundation of our economic leadership -- by any means necessary.
Beijing now requires many American businesses to hand over their trade secrets as the cost of doing business in China
China now spends as much on its military as the rest of Asia combined, and Beijing has prioritized capabilities to erode America's military advantages on land, at sea, in the air, and in space
China's aggression was on display this week, when a Chinese naval vessel came within 45 yards of the USS Decatur as it . . . . We will not be intimidated and we will not stand down.
And by 2020, China's rulers aim to implement an Orwellian system premised on controlling virtually every facet of human life - the so-called "Social Credit Score." . . . In the words of that program's official blueprint, it will "allow the trustworthy to roam everywhere under heaven, while making it hard for the discredited to take a single step."
And when it comes to religious freedom, a new wave of persecution is crashing down on Chinese Christians, Buddhists, and Muslims.
"China has opposed the actions and goals of the U.S. government. Indeed, China is building its own relationships with America's allies and enemies that contradict any peaceful or productive intentions of Beijing."
Sri Lanka, which took on massive debt . . . so Beijing pressured Sri Lanka to deliver the new port directly into Chinese hands. It may soon become a forward military base for China's growing blue-water navy.
I want to tell you today what we know about China's actions here at home - some of which we've gleaned from Intelligence assessments, some of which are publicly available. But all of which are fact.

"On Monday, this week, we were drawn by reports of China's investment in what it has said is "the world's biggest camera surveillance network".
According to the Chinese authorities, 170 million closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras are already in place across that country and approximately 400 million new ones will be installed in the next three years."

Dragonfly Eye Algorithm: Big Brother speaks Chinese

In a case, the Dragonfly Ey algorithm recognized a suspect when he crossed the lathe and sent his photograph to the police, who received the image in the PDA they use to verify identities.
The arrest was immediate, and Dragonfly Eye was not wrong. Since then, several hundred people have been arrested, although authorities do not specify how many were made as a result of using the algorithm created by the Chinese company Yitu.
"Our system can easily recognize anyone among 2 billion people," says company founder, Zhu Long.

Google CEO Secretly Met Pentagon Leaders Over AI Project - Reports
Sundar Pichai, the CEO of tech giant Google, held a quiet meeting at the US Department of Defense (DoD) seeking to ease tensions with the authorities over the company's planned withdrawal from the project on providing the Pentagon with Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools for analyzing drone footage, local media reported.
Pichai held talks with a group of civilian and military leaders from the office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence, which is in charge of overseeing the drone project, dubbed Project Maven, last week, the Washington Post newspaper reported on Friday, citing two people familiar with the meeting, speaking on the conditions of anonymity.
According to the outlet, a spokesperson for Google has not provided an immediate comment on the issue while a Pentagon spokesperson said the DoD did not comment on officials' private meetings.
In June, the Gizmondo science news outlet reported that the high-tech company did not plan to renew its contract on Project Maven after it expires in 2019.
The reported decision followed the move by over 3,000 Google employees to launch a petition asking Pichai to pull out of the project since Google should not be involved in the business of war. The withdrawal also provoked criticism by US congressmen.
In June, Pichai set new strict ethical guidelines for the company which ban the use of AI technology in weapons.
Over the past years, various scientists, engineers, inventors, and human rights activists have called for a ban on the development of Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems (LAWS) technology and use of AI in weapons.

Q Research General #4244: 404'd E-bake Edition
Israel Launches Internet "Command Center" to Monitor Social Media
Many social media users have no doubt noticed a massive, coordinated censorship campaign in recent months. Many in the alternative media blame it on "The Left" trying to prevent their political opponents from influencing public discourse. But the video above indicates that a major driving force behind these free speech-stifling activities is, in fact, the Israeli government.
Video compiled from various sources. Hebrew portions removed for brevity.
If Americans Knew
On January 25th 2018, Israel's Minister of Diaspora Affairs, Naftali Bennett, announced a new Israeli system, developed by the Israeli Ministry of Defense over the previous year, that monitors social media and provides real time data and analysis of so called "online anti-Semitism."
According to Israel, many statements about Israel constitute "antisemitism." In fact, an Israeli minister originated a new formulation for antisemitism in which many factual statements about Israel are supposedly "antisemitic." Thus, this new system is often monitoring statements or information about Israel that the Israeli government dislikes.
The "Anti-semitism Cyber Monitoring System", or ACMS allegedly examines every single post on Facebook and Twitter, uses Artificial Intelligence to determine whether or not to classify them as "anti-Semitic", and then categorizes its findings according to geographic location, language, and other factors.
According to an Arutz Sheva article, the system scans around 200,000 suspected posts and tweets each day. Of these, roughly 10,000 are deemed to be "anti-Semitic." Without access to Israel's spreadsheet of such "antisemitic posts," it is impossible to know how many truly constitute bigotry, and how many concern Israeli violations of human rights and/or international law.
The day after President Trump announced the relocation of the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, the ACMS reportedly detected 9 times as many. On that day and the day before three Palestinians attacked by Israeli forces had died, including a nine-year-old boy.
Attempting to limit the free speech of others is nothing new for Israel and its advocates. Several months ago, If Americans Knew reported on numerous programs by Israel partisans to "control the narrative" by censoring the internet. Israel has used its powerful influence over many western nations to institute Israel-centric "antisemitism" laws. Some states in the U.S. have passed such legislation, thereby potentially impeding free speech and academic inquiry.
Similarly, Israel partisans are working to outlaw boycotts against Israel, despite the fact that such civil actions have normally been considered legal, valid methods of opposing wrongdoing. In fact, many legal analysts consider the right to boycott to be protected under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
At the end of the video, Bennett claims that "anti-Semitism" is violence.
Even some Israel partisans oppose these Orwellian infringements on American fundamental rights. Anyone who is familiar with the Streisand Effect knows that they may ultimately produce the opposite of their intended result.

UPDATE 2: WTF!
I just realized DAVE STONE mentioned above is "Dave Flintstone" from the Hawaii connection threads
https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1459779
UPDATE 3: speculative at this point… but disturbing and needs to be looked into for connections…
Now what about Simon Stringer? its an interesting mention in the email above regarding "multi-purpose software, at several levels".
I strongly believe the Simon Stringer they are referring to is this guy:
https://www.psy.ox.ac.uk/team/simn-stringer
who is a director and major researcher in Artificial Intelligence and Experimental Psychology.
Get this, they have an Oxford BabyLab:
https://www.psy.ox.ac.uk/research/oxford-babylab
What better way to get babies for Experimental Psychology then with the help of an international child trafficking king pin like the Clinton Foundation?
Note: Cdebaca mentioned above is Ambassador Luis Cdebaca, he basically does the ground work, finds the places around the globe where human trafficking is ripe, and provides the intel to HRC as seen here:
https://wikileaks.org/clinton-emails/emailid/14662
Then the CF swoops in, in the name of humanitarian efforts or course, like they did in Haiti, proven, as Laura Silsby was convicted, and the email chain shows how they do it with groups like NLCR, just a little backstory in case you're new and think this is crazy:
https://wikileaks.org/clinton-emails/emailid/3741
New Life Children's Refuge (NLCR) run by guess who, Laura Silsby, had a nice little operation where they fly in their NLCR/CVBC teams from Las Vegas, to Haiti. (Yes I know personally about the private air fields in LV). They transport the children, to the Dominican Republic, where they host foreign "adopting families" in a Seaside Villas at Playa Magante for 60-90 days. Bear in mind, they're doing exactly the same thing that was done before but putting a nice veneer on it.
UPDATE 4 – Marty Torrey
But first a little More on James F Blom, Generation Origin, partnered w Admiral David Stone
http://generationorigin.com/Site/James___GenOrigin_gen.html http://archive.is/eMZae
Marty Torrey is very close with Clinton you can read here, so much so, that his grandson, who was 10 at the time, Brendan Torrey, gained HRC's undivided attention during a book signing, for several minutes, as she took keen interest in the child…
https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/34022
lets dig into Marty Torrey…
his linkedin: http://archive.is/skA3B#selection-1319.0-1319.24
scroll down, 3 of his groups have to do with African Development, and he's in some organization called Corporate Council on Africa, interesting, but theres more
he started Captain Consultants LLC in 2003, from what I can gather it has to do with…
http://www.veteranslist.us/city/captain-consultants-llc/ http://archive.is/MOM3t
Acoustic engineering and consulting services, aerial surveying, cargo checkers, marine, and telecom, (thats quite an interesting list of business services which would be quite useful in human trafficking especially with cargo ships)
Marty Torrey is connected to Simon Stringer,
https://wikileaks.org/clinton-emails/emailid/3526
so thats Marty Torrey, Simon Stringer, James F Blom, and Admiral David Stone all connected in some way now with human trafficking and Africa if you're keeping score

Q Research General #4025: Embracing the Doctrine of Patriotism Edition
Former Google bigwig launches AI "church" that positions technology as GOD
It might be tempting to crack jokes about today's smartphone-obsessed youth seeming to worship their devices, but for one man, the concept of technology as a deity is reaching disturbing heights.
Former Google executive Anthony Levandowski has filed IRS paperwork to establish an official religion devoted to technology. Not only will this bizarre religion worship scientific progress, but it will also worship Artificial Intelligence and create a "godhead."
According to his filing, this new non-profit religious organization, which will be known as "Way of the Future," will "develop and promote the realization of a Godhead based on Artificial Intelligence and through understanding and worship of the Godhead [to] contribute to the betterment of society."
The papers show Levandowski as the "dean," or leader, of the new religion and the CEO of a nonprofit corporation that he has set up for the purposes of running it.
According to the Way of the Future's website, the goal is creating a respectful and peaceful transition from humans being in charge of the planet to humans and machines governing it together. It will also fund research that will help to create the "divine AI."
The site goes on to explain that as technology gets closer to being able to surpass the abilities of humans, the church wants to educate people and ease the transition to this new way of being, adding: "In 'recent' years, we have expanded our concept of rights to both sexes, minority groups and even animals, let's make sure we find a way for 'machines' to get rights too." Maybe he wants people to be able to marry their computers?
He said that humans currently run the planet because we're smarter than the other animals and have the ability to apply rules and build tools. As machines grow smarter than us, however, he feels that they will take the reins from humans.
He believes that the "divine AI" will have another godlike quality, omniscience. After all, our reliance on technology and use of cell phones and data centers mean that everything there is to know about us can be accessed by those with the technological know-how.
Levandowski said that because AI is smarter than us, it will ultimately decide how it is going to evolve, but we can decide the way we want to act around it. For his part, he would like "the machine" to "think" of us humans as beloved elders that it needs to respect and take care of.
New religion will recruit members in California
The religion aims to establish working relationships with leaders in the AI industry and will use community outreach to recruit members. They will conduct educational programs and worships in the Bay Area in the next few months, according to the filings.
Levandowski told WIRED that he opted to make it a church instead of a think tank because he wanted everyone to participate, regardless of their technological skills. He also believed it would help avoid suspicions he's doing this as a way of making money, as he will not receive any salary from the church. The IRS granted the church a tax-exempt status in August.
Skepticism about the concept aside, the religion's "dean" is also questionable. Levandowski was an engineer behind Google's self-driving car project, Waymo, before quitting to start his own autonomous trucking company. He sold the firm he created, Otto, to Uber last July for more than $680 million. He was later sued by Waymo over claims he downloaded files and trade secrets prior to his resignation and shared them with Uber. Uber later fired him for his refusal to cooperate in an internal investigation.

But an expert in Artificial Intelligence believes their introduction will come at a truly devastating cost.
Oklahoma University lecturer Dr Subhash Kak has warned a flaw in their design could result in a large number of deaths.
Dr Kak told Daily Star Online: "The manufacturers are cognisant of such malfunction of fault which they will do their best to minimise or eliminate.
"At the same time they would pressure parliament or other legislative bodies to give them exemption from liability.
"There could be a bug in the code of the robot that promotes such behaviour."

https://www.bizjournals.com/sanjose/news/2018/09/24/dod-diu-silicon-valley-unit-michael-brown-symantec.html
The Pentagon is bringing in former Symantec Corp. CEO Michael Brown to head up its freshly cemented Silicon Valley technology unit and one of his top priorities will be convincing the region's tech giants that they can and should work with the U.S. military.
Effective immediately, Brown is now the managing director of the Defense Department's Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), the agency said on Monday. Brown was previously chairman and CEO of Mountain View-based Symantec and San Jose-based Quantum Corp. Most recently, he served as a White House Presidential Innovation Fellow.
"There is no better person than Mike Brown to lead DIU into its next chapter," Mike Griffin, the Pentagon's under secretary of defense for research and engineering, said in a statement. "Mike's extensive Silicon Valley career speaks for itself, as he has experience in both hardware from his time at Quantum, as well as software at Symantec."
Brown led Symantec for two years and oversaw its divestiture of Veritas before he was "transitioned" out by the board in 2016.
"I understand the motivation of companies, CEOs, investors because I've been working with these folks my whole life," Brown told industry publication Defense News on Monday.
His appointment comes weeks after Deputy U.S. Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan said that the Silicon Valley defense unit, previously known as DIUx, would drop the "experimental" portion of its name, becoming a permanent DoD unit and now nicknamed simply DIU.
The unit was founded under Obama-era Defense Secretary Ash Carter in 2015. Last summer, Secretary of Defense James Mattis made a visit to its Mountain View headquarters and said the unit would "grow in its influence and its impact on the Department of Defense," noting Artificial Intelligence as a top area of interest.
Brown will fill the top role formerly held by Raj Shah, who stepped down in February. Sean Heritage, who has been acting as DIU interim head, will return to being the Navy lead for the office, the unit said.
In June, the unit also hired Mike Madsen as "Unit Partner" to smooth out the collaboration processes between Silicon Valley and Washington, D.C.
AI, Trump and China among Brown's priorities
Among Brown's top priorities will be convincing Silicon Valley tech companies to work with the U.S. military even as many of those businesses face employee pushback from within their ranks.
Earlier this year, thousands of Google employees protested against Project Maven, a project with the Pentagon in which the company's Artificial Intelligence technology was used to analyze drone footage. The uproar ultimately led the Alphabet Inc.-owned company to cancel the contact.
Brown told Defense News that the Project Maven incident was "overblown," adding that DIU is already in discussions with more than 500 different technology companies.
Brown also said his office will focus on warning U.S. companies of the dangers of working with China. American companies should be "not only viewing China as an economic opportunity but also seeing the geopolitical consequences," he told Defense News. "Being part of that debate is going to be an important role for DIU."
Brown also co-authored a white paper that reportedly helped to inform President Trump's bearish views on trade with China.
The Trump administration, which this week enacted $200 billion in new tariffs on Chinese imports, has taken an adversarial role toward the country, even as the massive Chinese market is increasingly being pursued by Silicon Valley companies from Tesla to Google.
"My fundamental view is we are in a technology race," Brown told Defense News. "We didn't ask to be in this, but we're in it. I'm concerned that if we don't recognize that we're in a race and take appropriate action, then we let China move forward and we don't put our best foot forward in terms of leading in these key technology areas."
Brown noted that the top tech investment priorities will include human systems engineering, information technology, cyber or advanced computing, autonomy, and Artificial Intelligence.
Brown said he plans to hire a human resources leader and new general counsel for the innovation unit.

ASSANGE- "THIS IS THE LAST FREE GENERATION"
Before his links to the world were cut by his Ecuadorian hosts, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange gave an interview on how technological advances are changing humankind. He said global surveillance will soon be totally unavoidable.
The interview was provided to RT by organizers of the World Ethical Data Forum in Barcelona. Assange, who is currently stranded in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London with no outside communication except with his legal team, has a pretty grim outlook on where humanity is going. He says it will soon be impossible for any human being to not be included in global databases collected by governments and state-like entities.
This generation being born now... is the last free generation. You are born and either immediately or within say a year you are known globally. Your identity in one form or another -coming as a result of your idiotic parents plastering your name and photos all over Facebook or as a result of insurance applications or passport applications- is known to all major world powers.
"A small child now in some sense has to negotiate its relationship with all the major world powers... It puts us in a very different position. Very few technically capable people are able to live apart, to choose to live apart, to choose to go their own way," he added. "It smells a bit like totalitarianism - in some way."
The capacity to collect and process information about people has been growing exponentially and will continue to grow fast, he stated. With advancements in applying Artificial Intelligence (AI) to big data, the next logical step is coming.
"Look at what Google and Baidu and Tencent and Amazon and Facebook are doing. They are basically open-cut harvesting the knowledge of humankind as we express it, when we communicate with each other... This classical model, which people in academia call 'surveillance capitalism'... has changed now.
It's a really very important and severe economic change. Which is to take the surveillance capitalism model and transform it instead into a model that does not yet have a name, an 'AI model'. Which is to use this vast reservoir to train Artificial Intelligences of different kinds. This would replace not only intermediary sectors -most things you do on the internet is in a sense more efficient intermediation- but to take over the transport sector, or create whole new sectors.
Assange also predicted that the scale of hostile activities through cyberspace will see a breakout point as soon as AI is trained to sufficiently automate hacking attacks.
"There is no border [online]. It's 220 milliseconds from New York to Nairobi. Why would there ever be peace in such a scenario?" he said. "[Entities online] are creating their own borders using cryptography. But the size of the attack surface for any decent-sized organization, the number of people, different types of software and hardware it has to pull inside itself means that it is very hard to establish.

SRI International spin-offs.
SRI International (SRI) is an American nonprofit research institute headquartered in Menlo Park, California. The trustees of Stanford University established SRI in 1946 as a center of innovation to support economic development in the region.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SRI_International
The organization was founded as the Stanford Research Institute. SRI formally separated from Stanford University in 1970 and became known as SRI International in 1977. SRI performs client-sponsored research and development for government agencies, commercial businesses, and private foundations. It also licenses its technologies,[2] forms strategic partnerships, sells products,[3] and creates spin-off companies.
SRI International (SRI), previously known as Stanford Research Institute, is a research and innovation center. To bring its breakthroughs to the marketplace, SRI licenses technology and works with investment and venture capital firms to launch a wide variety of ventures. SRI has launched more than 60 spin-off ventures; this includes four public companies with combined market capitalizations exceeding $20 billion.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_SRI_International_spin-offs
Many notable SRI researchers were involved with the Augmentation Research Center. These include Principle Investigator Douglas Engelbart, the developer of the modern GUI; William English, who contributed to the design of Engelbart's computer mouse; Jeff Rulifson, the primary software architect of the NLS; Elizabeth J. Feinler, who ran the Network Information Center; and David Maynard, who would help found Electronic Arts. The Artificial Intelligence Center has also produced a large number of notable alumni, many of whom contributed to Shakey the robot; these include project manager Charles Rosen as well as Nils Nilsson,[6] Bertram Raphael, Richard O. Duda, Peter E. Hart, Richard Fikes and Richard Waldinger. Artificial Intelligence researcher Gary Hendrix went on to found Symantec. The CALO project (and its spin-off, Siri) also produced notable names including C. Raymond Perrault and Adam Cheyer.
Several SRI projects produced notable researchers and engineers long before computing was mainstream. William K. MacCurdy developed the Hydra-Cushion freight car for Southern Pacific in 1954; Hewitt Crane and Jerre Noe were instrumental in the development of Electronic Recording Machine, Accounting; Harrison Price helped The Walt Disney Company design Disneyland; James C. Bliss developed the Optacon; and Robert Weitbrecht invented the first telecommunications device for the deaf.

DARPA Announces $2 Billion Campaign to Develop Next Wave of AI Technologies
Over its 60-year history, DARPA has played a leading role in the creation and advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies that have produced game-changing capabilities for the Department of Defense. Starting in the 1960s, DARPA research shaped the first wave of AI technologies, which focused on handcrafted knowledge, or rule-based systems capable of narrowly defined tasks. While a critical step forward for the field, these systems were fragile and limited. Starting in the 1990s, DARPA helped usher in a second wave of AI machine learning technologies that created statistical pattern recognizers from large amounts of data. The agency's funding of natural language understanding, problem solving, navigation and perception technologies has led to the creation of self-driving cars, personal assistants, and near-natural prosthetics, in addition to a myriad of critical and valuable military and commercial applications

Facebook Plans "War Room" And A.I. Software To Prevent Election Meddling Ahead Of Midterms
Apparently Facebook thinks it's the US military, or a NATO command center, or perhaps its millennial employees want to relive the 1980's cult classic "WarGames" movie.
Facebook announced Wednesday that it plans to set up a "war room" at its Silicon Valley campus to prevent potential foreign election meddling during the midterms.
"We are setting up a war room in Menlo Park for the Brazil and US elections," Facebook elections and civic engagement director Samidh Chakrabarti said, according to the AFP. He added, "It is going to serve as a command center so we can make real-time decisions as needed."
A "command center" in a "war room" to make "real-time" decisions huh?… And oh Facebook says it will gain help from Artificial Intelligence software to prevent fake posts by those pesky Russians to boot…
Apparently office space for the planned anti-election meddling HQ has already been set aside as Facebook says it's still in the procession of "building" this war room.
But the AFP reports this incredibly amusing detail:
He declined to say when the "war room" – currently a conference room with a paper sign taped to the door – would be in operation.
Teams at Facebook have been honing responses to potential scenarios such as floods of bogus news or campaigns to trick people into falsely thinking they can cast ballots by text message, according to executives.
Don't worry America your elections are safe with Facebook on watch at the forward operating post! Though likely a conference room with paper taped to the door won't exactly convey confidence and readiness to the American public.

WE GOT A ANOTHER SUSPICIOUS MURDER OF A TECH EXECUTIVE IN DC.
Possible Arkancide
Tragedy as tech company executive, 35, is stabbed to death while on an early evening jog near her home in Washington DC
Wendy Martinez, chief of staff at DC company FiscalNote, was stabbed to death near Logan Circle just before 8pm Tuesday
She was able to stumble to a nearby Chinese eatery where patrons tried to help her, but she could not be saved
Metro Police say man who stabbed Martinez was likely a stranger and it is believed the attack was random
He was last seen wearing mustard-colored shirt, sweatpants and socks with sandals
Police are offering $25,000 reward for information leading to suspect's arrest
Police in Washington DC are on the hunt for a man who stabbed a female jogger to death without any apparent provocation on Tuesday night.
Wendy Karina Martinez, 35, was out for an evening run near Logan Circle just before 8pm when she was attacked by a knife-wielding stranger at the intersection of 11th and O streets, Metropolitan Police Chief Peter Newsham said.
Martinez suffered multiple serious stabs wounds but managed to stumble to a nearby Chinese restaurant, with blood gushing from a laceration to her neck.
Patrons at the eatery rushed to her aid and attempted to help her before paramedics arrived on the scene.
Martinez was taken to an area hospital, where she later died.
Newsham said Martinez lived not far from the crime scene and was an avid jogger known to run for miles. Her Facebook account features photos from past races.
Newsham said it is believed the attacker, described as a black man, did not know Martinez and that it was most likely a random act of violence and a 'singular incident.'
The chief said the suspect was last seen wearing a long-sleeve mustard-colored shirt, dark-colored sweatpants, white socks and light-colored sandals.
Police have released surveillance video showing the person of interest casually walking in the area around the time of the deadly attack.
Fox 5 DC reported that the knife used in the stabbing has been recovered at the scene.

Child Protective Services Wants Artificial Intelligence To Predict Child Abuse
Predictive technology is exploding. The arrival of Big Data initiatives by government, as well as a massive industry of data brokers is not only putting privacy at risk, but is offering those with access to the information unprecedented ways to micromanage our lives.
Over the last few years, I've covered the arrival of full-on pre-crime police tech (both public and secret) that is beginning to target potential hotspots for crime, as well as to put certain individuals on lists created by Artificial Intelligence to identify supposed future criminals.
I've also covered trends in predictive medicine that have controversially strayed into the field of mental health, painting an algorithmic picture of people who are prime candidates for some form of potential intervention. These measures are often touted as both humanitarian as well as economically prudent, as health professionals and insurers are able to utilize the near constant stream of information provided by Big Data.
But predictive child abuse?
I suppose we shouldn't be shocked when we begin accelerating out of control down the slippery slope. The UK just happens to be one of the world leaders at the moment for greasing the skids. According to a new report by The Guardian, we clearly see how a variety of social concerns can combine with the "obligation" of government to cut costs wherever possible. The result could be a truly dystopian scenario of entrusting the welfare of children to computers.
Local authorities - which face spiralling demand and an £800m funding shortfall - are beginning to ask whether big data could help to identify vulnerable children.
Could a computer program flag a problem family, identify a potential victim and prevent another Baby P or Victoria Climbié?
Years ago, such questions would have been the stuff of science fiction; now they are the stuff of science fact.
Bristol is one place experimenting with these new capabilities, and grappling with the moral and ethical questions that come with them.

China and Google Urge Global Cooperation to Advance AI Development
Chinese government officials and business leaders including executives from Google called for global cooperation to advance A.I. technology at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai, China, on Monday.
Chinese Vice Premier Liu He joined Jack Ma, the chairman of Alibaba Group, and executives from Google at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference to promote A.I. He called for foreign investment into China and promised to foster "an environment of free thinking" to bolster A.I. development.
His call for global cooperation on A.I. development contrasts with the Chinese government's plan to dominate A.I. by 2030, in part through government support of Chinese companies. He did not elaborate about his plan for further cooperation; however, the softer approach comes as the United States and China face significant tension over tariffs and trade relations.
He told conference attendees:
We're hoping that all countries, as members of the global village, will be inclusive and support each other so that we can respond to the double-edged sword effect of new technologies. AI represents a new era. Cross-national and cross-discipline cooperation is inevitable.
President Xi Jinping echoed He's remarks at the conference. In a letter to the conference, President Xi said that China could share the benefits of A.I. research with other countries.
Several American companies attended the conference, in part to show of their commitment to working on A.I. in China. Microsoft Research Asia and Amazon Web services both announced new research labs in Shanghai, while Google's Jay Yagnik presented the company's A.I. programs in the country. Google is a key sponsor of the conference in China.
Google CEO Sundar Pichai was invited to the event but declined to attend. Google's Beijing research office plans to work on a separate search platform that conforms to the Chinese censorship practices that comprise the "Chinese firewall."
Breitbart News reported last week that Jack Poulson, a senior research scientist at Google, quit the company in protest over the company's development of a censored search engine for China, suggesting it represented a "forfeiture of our values."
Chinese business leaders argued that Google's AI expansion into China proves that the country needs a global approach to A.I.
Ma said that China's regulatory system and approach to technology need to be reformed to adapt to innovative new technologies such as A.I.
"Governments should not care whether the taxi industry should be substituted," Ma said.
"Governments should pay attention to whether road safety is good and if people will be killed in traffic accidents. Whether one industry is substituted by another should be determined by the market."

Facebook AI reads over 1 Billion memes a day
https://mashable.com/article/facebook-rosetta-ai-for-reading-memes/#GPpXUCfZqZq5
There are so many memes on Facebook and Instagram that the company has enlisted its Artificial Intelligence to help understand them.
In a blog post, Facebook developers say they have created a dedicated AI tool, called Rosetta, to read the text that appears in memes (and other images and video frames) that are shared to Facebook and Instagram.
At face value, understanding memes might not seem like the most important problem for AI to solve. But Facebook's researchers point out that the technology, which is designed to recognize depicted text in a wide variety of languages, has many practical uses.
For example, Rosetta can read photographed text in menus and street signs, as well as words appearing on clothing and product labels. So while Rosetta isn't dedicated to memes, their prevalence on Facebook and Instagram will undoubtedly make them a major use case, especially in Facebook's detection of offensive material.
"Understanding the text that appears on images is important for improving experiences, such as a more relevant photo search or the incorporation of text into screen readers that make Facebook more accessible for the visually impaired," Facebook explains, adding that reading text in images is important in identifying "inappropriate or harmful content and keep our community safe."
According to Facebook, the system is able to process more than a billion images a day.

Politicians Warn Spy Chief: There Is A New Threat Called "Deep Fakes"
United States politicians are coming up with some wonderful descriptive terms to help use fear to get more restrictive laws passed. Now lawmakers are warning the spy chief of a real threat called the "deep fakes."
Thanks to modern technology, the U.S. government ruling class now has another scary fear-mongering problem they are dubbing "deep fakes."
Technology has reached a point where people can now create near-perfect faked videos of people saying things they never actually said, reported Tech Crunch. "Deep fakes" use existing footage mixed with Artificial Intelligence and machine learning to be made to look like, or at least come close to, the real thing.
Who else can see the writing on the wall and believes this could be nothing more than a fear mongering attempt to cull free speech even more? Politicians are always looking for reasons to remove rights from others, so it makes sense that they 'd make a huge deal out of people being able to make realistic videos. The fight to remain relevant as a politician has begun.
US lawmakers are so worried about these faked videos that they now claim they can be "used by the enemy to harm national security." Yet, unsurprisingly, one of the first uses of deep fake videos was for porn. Creators would make videos by superimposing faces onto the bodies of others. The real issue to the political elites though is scaring the public over "national security."
Lawmakers think that deep fakes could be used as part of wider disinformation campaigns in an effort to sway elections or spread false news. There it is… the fake news shadow. It isn't the disinformation they care about, its that people just might be able to figure out for themselves who is oppressing them (hint: it isn't Russia.)
"Deep fakes could become a potent tool for hostile powers seeking to spread misinformation," wrote Representative Adam Schiff, the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, in a letter to Dan Coats, the director of national Intelligence.
"As deep fake technology becomes more advanced and more accessible, it could pose a threat to United States public discourse and national security, with broad and concerning implications for offensive active measures campaigns targeting the United States," said the letter, co-signed by Representatives Stephanie Murphy (D-FL) and Carlos Curbelo (R-FL).
If you guessed that the government is more likely than not going to use this as an excuse to continue to kill free speech, you'd most likely be correct.
Schiff, Murphy, and Curbelo want the director of national Intelligence (who oversees the nation's Intelligence community) to report back on its assessment of how deep fake technology could harm national security interests, reported Tech Crunch. They want to know if there are countermeasures (laws, regulations, and the reduction of freedom) to protect against "foreign influence." The DNI's office was asked to report back to Congress by mid-December.

One problem, FACEBOOK IS TRYING TO STOP MEMES
Now Facebook will fact-check PHOTOS for fake news: Social media giant will use AI to probe images and video in its fight to cull the spread of misinformation
Social network is using AI and human reviewers to hunt down fake news links
It is expanding this system to include images and videos posted to the site
Russia-affiliated accounts seeking to influence democratic elections have repeatedly used photographs and video for fake news campaigns
Facebook is expanding its fake news spotting systems to include photos and videos as part of its ongoing battle to halt the spread of misinformation on its service.
Following successful trials in France, India, and Mexico, the company said it will now roll-out the system in 17 countries worldwide in a bid to staunch what it has branded 'misinformation in these new visual formats.'
The Artificial Intelligence (AI) system feeds potentially fake content to human fact-checkers, who use visual verification techniques such as reverse image searching and analysing image metadata to check the veracity of photos and videos.
Previously, the company's efforts to tackle misinformation had been focused on rooting out false articles and webpage links.
Russian agents and other malicious groups seeking to influence democratic elections in the US and elsewhere have repeatedly used images and video.
These carry more visual appeal than text or false articles and are also harder to spot using fake news tracking software, which typically hunts for keywords in text.
Facebook said it has been testing the image fact-checks since the spring, beginning with a trial alongside French news agency AFP.
Now, it will send disputed photographs and videos to 27 fact-checking organisations in 17 countries to verify the flagged content.
The company has remained tight-lipped on the criteria it employs to evaluate photos and videos and how much an image can be edited before it is ruled fake.
Antonia Woodford, product manager at Facebook, said: 'People share millions of photos and videos on Facebook every day.
'We know that this kind of sharing is particularly compelling because it's visual.
'It also creates an easy opportunity for manipulation by bad actors.
'We have built a machine learning model that uses various engagement signals, including feedback from people on Facebook, to identify potentially false content

These algorithms are also helping Breakthrough Listen search for new kinds of candidate signals from extraterrestrial Intelligence.
The source and mechanism of FRBs are still mysterious.
Previous studies with the NSF's Very Large Array and other observatories have shown that
the bursts from 121102 are emanating from a galaxy 3 billion light-years from Earth,
but the nature of the object emitting them is still unknown.
Theories range from highly magnetized neutron stars,
blasted by gas streams near to a supermassive black hole,
to suggestions that the burst properties are consistent with signatures of technology developed by an advanced civilization.

DANGEROUS FUTURE: Artificial Intelligence found to take on the mind of its creator
09/13/2018 / By Ethan Huff
Recognizing the Pandora's Box of uncertainty surrounding the controversial technology, experts familiar with the progression of Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) computing and where it's heading in today's ever-changing world have some serious concerns. One of them is the very real possibility that A.I. computers will one day have the ability to take on the minds of their creators and programmers, for better or for worse.
New research out of Princeton University suggests that, given the way we already understand how it "learns" and functions, A.I. technology is looking more and more like the prototype for Frankenstein's monster. As they're fed inputs and information about how to act in ways similar to humans, giving them the capability to perform human-like functions without humans present, A.I. computers are learning how to become human.
Along with a team of faculty from the Center for Information Technology Policy (C.I.T.P.) at Princeton, postdoctoral research associate and C.I.T.P fellow, Aylin Caliskan, surmises that more focus is needed to ascertain how A.I. technology has the potential to adopt some very undesirable personality traits. For instance, the capability of potentially unleashing chaos that, as it propagates, becomes increasingly more difficult to contain.
Published in the journal Science, his paper, entitled "Semantics derived automatically from language corpora contain human-like biases," addresses these and other issues with A.I. technology that many of those pushing its development seem to be ignoring. These A.I. learning machines are designed to pick up whatever they're exposed to, which includes any number of things from the good, to the bad, to the ugly.
"Common machine learning programs, when trained with ordinary human language available online, can acquire cultural biases embedded in the patterns of wording," explains Science Daily. "These biases range from the morally neutral, like a preference for flowers over insects, to the objectionable views of race and gender."
Princeton worries that A.I. technology might learn traditional gender roles - isn't the prospect of A.I. robots becoming KILLING MACHINES a little more concerning?

"Despite her efforts to brush matters aside, the Feinstein spy scandal is significant. It's hard to make out through the media and political class's myopic obsession with all things Russia, but Chinese espionage in America is epidemic. In June 2015, Chinese hackers stole the sensitive personal data (Social Security numbers, addresses, etc.) of more than 20 million Americans when they breached the Office of Personnel Management's servers. That provided Beijing a trove of information, not to mention copious blackmail opportunities. Military secrets have been targeted repeatedly, and college campuses are also host to scores of Chinese assets and operatives. Meanwhile, Beijing's plan to dominate the pharmaceutical, aerospace, Artificial Intelligence, robotics, self-driving car, clean energy, and sundry other industries of the future-"Made in China 2025," it's called-is largely based on espionage, notably the purloining of American technology. And those are just the operations we know about."

Announcing New Election Partnership With the Atlantic Council
By Katie Harbath, Global Politics and Government Outreach Director
From newsroom.facebook.com
Facebook is investing heavily to prevent our service from being abused during elections. We're doubling the number of people who work on safety and security and using technology like Artificial Intelligence to more effectively block fake accounts - the source of many bad ads and a lot of misinformation. In addition, we're more actively working with outside experts, governments and other companies because we know that we can't solve these challenges on our own. For example, last month we announced an independent commission to help fund and organize research into the impact of social media on society - starting with elections.
Today, we're excited to launch a new partnership with the Atlantic Council, which has a stellar reputation looking at innovative solutions to hard problems. Experts from their Digital Forensic Research Lab will work closely with our security, policy and product teams to get Facebook real-time insights and updates on emerging threats and disinformation campaigns from around the world. This will help increase the number of "eyes and ears" we have working to spot potential abuse on our service - enabling us to more effectively identify gaps in our systems, preempt obstacles, and ensure that Facebook plays a positive role during elections all around the world.
Facebook will also use the Atlantic Council's Digital Research Unit Monitoring Missions during elections and other highly sensitive moments. This will allow us to focus on a particular geographic area - monitoring for misinformation and foreign interference and also working to help educate citizens as well as civil society.
Finally, we know that tackling these problems effectively also requires the right policies and regulatory structures so that governments and companies can help prevent abuse while also ensuring people have a voice during elections. The Atlantic Council's network of leaders is uniquely situated to help all of us think through the challenges we will face in the near and long-term.
This effort is part of an broader initiative to help provide credible and independent research about the role of social media in elections, as well as democracy more generally. We look forward to working together to protect free and fair elections across the world.

Scary new 'deepfake' video method can mimic mannerisms
A new method in "deepfakes" can take the "style" or "likeness" of one person or object and transfer it to another, a potentially nefarious method that could take the fake news epidemic to unfounded territory.
Deepfakes are fake videos that have been manipulated by Artificial Intelligence to make someone or something appear as something else. Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University expanded on this technology and used a machine-learning algorithm to imprint the facial expressions and mannerisms from one video's subject to another.

DOJ's Rosenstein Again Hammers Warrant-Proof Encryption
Cites thousands of phones law enforcement can't access
JOHN EGGERTON
OCT 10, 2017
Warning of digital torpedoes abetted by warrant-proof encryption that threaten the rule of law, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein told cadets in a speech at the Naval Academy in Annapolis that new tech is a threat if it prevents law enforcement from accessing evidence of crimes.
The Administration is clearly stumping hard for greater access to electronic communications and an end to tech "lock boxes" made possible by encryption.
"Sometimes we face real torpedoes," Rosenstein told the cadets, "and sometimes, in the cyber world, we face virtual torpedoes. Whatever the challenges ahead, we are duty-bound to sustain our timeless rule of law values in an era of disruptive technological change."
Rosenstein took a similar message to a Cambridge Cyber Summit last week.
In his speech at Annapolis Tuesday (Oct. 10), according to a copy of his remarks supplied by Justice, Rosenstein said that it was essential for law enforcement to be able to collect evidence, but that in a digital world, "the tools we use to collect evidence run up against technology that is designed to defeat them
The privacy vs. security debate between Silicon Valley and D.C. is a long and contentious one, with the most high-profile recent flashpoint being the FBI's attempt in 2016 to force Apple to create a software backdoor so it could access information in the cell phone of one of the San Bernardino shooters.
While he said private entities are crucial partners in the fights against cyber threats, he suggested they can be impediments as well. "[D]igital infrastructure is not always constructed with adequate regard for public safety, cybersecurity, and consumer privacy," he said. He pointed to tech outstripping the ability for laws to keep up with it, posing a new dangers created by those innovations.
That includes child sex trafficking on the dark web, another hot-button issue in Washington. He also cited U.S. communications providers storing content overseas and criticized "some domestic technology providers" who "do not design their systems to facilitate responses to court orders" or "do not adequately staff their legal compliance departments."
He called warrant-proof encryption a big problem. "[T]here has never been a right to absolute privacy. Courts weigh privacy against other values, including the need to solve and prevent crimes. Under the Fourth Amendment, communications may be intercepted and locked devices may be opened if they are used to commit crimes, provided that the government demonstrates showing of probable cause," he said.
Rosenstein referred to the Apple case how it had thwarted government efforts to access an iPhone used "by a terrorist who shot and killed 14 people."
He said that while the government was eventually able to get the data without Apple's help, the clear message was that Apple should not have rejected the government's request for access.
Thousands of seized devices sit in storage, he said, unable to be accessed due to encryption, with the FBI unable to access even the 750 for which warrants gave them the authority to do so.
Rosenstein also opined over the government's inability to access content of instant messages, yet another flashpoint in the tension between protecting privacy and combatting crime.
"Encrypted communications and devices pose the greatest threat to public safety when they are part of mass-market consumer devices and services that enable warrant-proof encryption by default," he said.
Hoping tech companies will do the right thing is not a plan, he signaled.
"The approach taken in the recent past - negotiating with technology companies and hoping that they eventually will assist law enforcement out of a sense of civic duty - is unlikely to work. Technology companies operate in a highly competitive environment. Even companies that really want to help must consider the consequences. Competitors will always try to attract customers by promising stronger encryption. That explains why the government's efforts to engage with technology giants on encryption generally do not bear fruit. Company leaders may be willing to meet, but often they respond by criticizing the government and promising stronger encryption. Of course they do. They are in the business of selling products and making money. We use a different measure of success. We are in the business of preventing crime and saving lives.
"Technology providers are working to build a world with armies of drones and fleets of driverless cars, a future of Artificial Intelligence and augmented reality," he said. "Surely such companies could design consumer products that provide data security while permitting lawful access with court approval."

Mysterious Light Flashes Are Coming from Deep Space, and AI Just Found More of Them
Last year's mysterious outburst of deep-space light flashes was even more frenzied than previously thought, a new study reports.
On Aug. 26, 2017, astronomers with the Breakthrough Listen project - a $100 million effort to hunt for signs of intelligent alien life - spotted 21 repeating light pulses called fast radio bursts (FRBs) emanating from the dwarf galaxy FRB 121102 within the span of 1 hour.
Some scientists think FRBs come from fast-rotating neutron stars, but their source has not been nailed down. And that explains Breakthrough Listen's interest: It's possible that the bursts are produced by intelligent extraterrestrials, perhaps to blast space-sailing craft through the cosmos at incredible speeds, some folks have speculated.

Last year's mysterious outburst of deep-space light flashes was even more frenzied than previously thought, a new study reports.

And FRB 121102, which lies about 3 billion light-years from Earth, is particularly intriguing: It's the only known "repeater" source of FRBs, which otherwise tend to be one-offs.
In the new study, Breakthrough Listen team members based at the University of California, Berkeley SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) Research Center applied machine-learning techniques to the August 2017 data set, which was acquired by the Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia and was originally analyzed using traditional methods.
The researchers, led by UC Berkeley doctoral student Gerry Zhang, trained an algorithm called a "convolutional neural network" to spot FRBs among the 400 terabytes of data. The strategy is similar to that employed by IT companies to optimize internet search results, Breakthrough Listen representatives said in a statement.
Zhang and his colleagues dug up an additional 72 light flashes, bringing the total number of FRBs detected on that day, from that single source (whatever it may be), to 93.

I believe I've just had a horrific epiphany.
WHAT IF WE ARE PROGRAMMING OUR OWN DEMISE?
Think about this:
How would you program the ultimate Artificial Intelligence Computer?
I'm not a computer fag but I would assume you would need to feed into this program an incalculable number of scenarios: likes, dislikes, thoughts, wants, needs etc.
How would this even be possible?
Enter Google. Every second of every day millions of searches are entered into the search engine, and as we well know, are saved.
This is World Wide!
Now, what if an algorithm was introduced into this program that limited or deleted certain searches?
You have all the data necessary to create the ultimate Artificial Intelligent Computer/Robot/Person etc, uniquely designed/molded in the image of what One (whomever 'they' are/cabal) wants for the future of Humanity.
Does this make sense?

The Amazon Business Model is A Job Killer: The Shift Towards E-Commerce. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and 31 Million Jobs Destroyed
Prominent in the news this past week was the report that Amazon and its CEO, Jeff Bezos, reached record levels of market valuation and wealth. Amazon is now worth more than $1 trillion and Bezos's personal wealth stands at $165 billion. This of course is largely due to the stock price appreciation of the company, as investors in the US and worldwide pile into purchasing Amazon stock and thereby drive up its stock price, its market valuation and, in turn, Bezos's share of that in terms of his own net worth.
Why so much investment money is surging into Amazon-and other tech company stocks like Google, Apple, and others-is a story in itself but left here for another analysis. Briefly, it has to do with the investor class's accelerating capital gains from the $1 trillion a year distribution to them from Corporate America's stock buybacks and dividend payouts. A trillion dollars a year, every year (2011 to 2017) for the past six years in buybacks and dividends by S&P 500 corporations alone. This year, 2018, buybacks and dividend payouts will set a record of more than $1.3 trillion in such distribution to investor-shareholders, pumped up by Trump tax cuts of more than $300 billion in 2018 that are doubling profits of S&P 500 companies.
According to a recent report by Zion Research, for the S&P 500 no less than 49% of their 2018 record profits has been due to the Trump tax cuts-a massive direct subsidy to corporate America without historical precedent in the US. For some sectors, like the telephone companies, 152% of their 2018 profits have been due to the Trump tax cuts. The massive tax-driven profits are then redistributed to their shareholder-investors via stock buybacks and dividends well exceeding $1 trillion annually. The stockholder-shareholders then plow back the much of the $1 trillion back into the stock market, driving up stock prices further that are already rising due to the record profits and buybacks. A good part of the 'plowback' into stocks has been going into the tech sector. The Apples, Googles, and of course Amazon especially-which leads to the company's $1 trillion current market valuation and Jeff Bezos's $165 billion personal net worth.

Facebook's moonshots: Making brains type and skin hear
The social network finally unveils what its secretive Building 8 hardware lab has been working on for the past year. Communication might never be the same.

https://www.cnet.com/news/facebook-f8-building-8-moonshot-projects-zuckerberg-regina-dugan/
It looks like just another beige office park building next to a dental office in Menlo Park, California. Yet Building 8, across the street from Facebook's main campus, houses the social network's biggest bets on out-there products.
The tech industry has a term for what people inside Building 8 work on: moonshots. Think potentially groundbreaking projects that could reshape Facebook's long-term future and even how all of us communicate.
CEO Mark Zuckerberg unveiled Building 8 (named for the number of letters in Facebook) at last year's F8 developer conference. He also revealed he'd recruited Regina Dugan from Google's Advanced Technology and Projects (ATAP) group to head Facebook's skunkworks efforts, as part of Zuckerberg's 10-year strategic plan.
Since then, Facebook has given tantalizing hints about Building 8's mission, saying only that it's focused on "seemingly impossible" hardware in augmented and virtual reality, Artificial Intelligence, connectivity and "other important breakthrough areas," with "clear objectives for shipping products at scale." The one thing we knew for sure: The company had been amassing a dream team of hardware veterans from the likes of Apple, Motorola, Google and other industry heavyweights.
Some of that secrecy faded Wednesday, when the group unveiled its first two projects: a "brain-to-computer interface" that would allow us to send thoughts straight to a computer, and technology to "hear" or absorb language through vibrations on our skin.

Q Research General #3696: 1/Billion Edition
At its 60th anniversary conference on Friday, DARPA announced a $2 billion investment to push the frontier of AI forward.
"We think it's a good time to seed the field of AI," John Everett, the deputy director of DARPA's Information Innovation Office, told CNNMoney. "We think we can accelerate two decades of progress into five years."
Artificial Intelligence, which lets machines perform tasks traditionally done by humans, is a trendy topic in technology and business circles. For example, Google recently delighted and alarmed observers when it showed how an AI system could call a restaurant and book a reservation while sounding entirely human.
Breakthroughs in the last decade have inspired companies to recruit top AI talent away from academia. Machines are now much more accurate at recognizing speech, understanding images and processing words, leading to products such as Amazon's Alexa, Apple's Siri, and Waymo's self-driving vans.
The country's biggest and most innovative companies rely on it to stay ahead of competitors. Waymo's autonomous vehicles have driven more than 9 million miles on US roads thanks to Artificial Intelligence.
National governments, such as Canada, China, India and France, are prioritizing AI now too. They view Artificial Intelligence as essential to growing their economies in the 21st century. Most notably, China has said it wants to be the global leader by 2030.
DARPA's investment will focus on creating systems with common sense, contextual awareness and better energy efficiency. Advances could help the government automate security clearances, accredit software systems and make AI systems that explain themselves.

Q Research General #3641: Refuting Fiction
Mark Zuckerberg: Protecting democracy is an arms race. Here's how Facebook can help.
By Mark Zuckerberg
September 4 at 7:07 PM
Mark Zuckerberg is chief executive officer of Facebook.
When you build services that connect billions of people across countries and cultures, you're going to see all of the good that humanity can do, and you're also going to see people try to abuse those services in every way possible. Our responsibility at Facebook is to amplify the good and mitigate the bad.
This is especially true when it comes to elections. Free and fair elections are the heart of every democracy. During the 2016 election, we were actively looking for traditional cyberattacks, and we found them. What we didn't find until later were foreign actors running coordinated campaigns to interfere with America's democratic process. Since then, we've focused on improving our defenses and making it much harder for anyone to interfere in elections.
Key to our efforts has been finding and removing fake accounts - the source of much of the abuse, including misinformation. Bad actors can use computers to generate these in bulk. But with advances in Artificial Intelligence, we now block millions of fake accounts every day as they are being created so they can't be used to spread spam, false news or inauthentic ads.
Increased transparency in our advertising systems is another area where we have also made progress. You can now see all the ads an advertiser is running - even if they aren't targeted to you. Anyone who wants to run political or issue ads in the United States on Facebook must verify their identity. All political and issue ads must also make clear who paid for them, in the same way as TV or newspaper advertisements. But we've gone even further by putting all these ads in a public archive, which anyone can search to see how much was spent on each individual ad and the audience it reached. This greater transparency will increase responsibility and accountability for advertisers.
As we've seen from previous elections, misinformation is a real challenge. A big part of the solution is getting rid of fake accounts. But it's also about attacking the spammers' economic incentives to create false news in the first place. And where posts are flagged as potentially false, we pass them to independent fact-checkers - such as the Associated Press and the Weekly Standard - to review, and we demote posts rated as false, which means they lose 80 percent of future traffic.
We're not working alone. After 2016, it became clear that everyone - governments, tech companies and independent experts - needs to do a better job of sharing the signals and information they have to prevent this kind of abuse. These bad actors don't restrict themselves to one service, and we shouldn't approach the problem in silos, either. That's why we're working more closely with other technology companies on the cybersecurity threats we all face, and we've worked with law enforcement to take down accounts in Russia.
One of the biggest changes we've made over the past year is not to wait for reports of suspicious activity. Instead, we look proactively for potentially harmful election-related content, such as pages registered to a foreign entity that post divisive content to sow mistrust and drive people apart. When we find them, our security team manually reviews the accounts to see whether they violate our policies. If they do, we quickly remove them. For example, we recently took down a network of accounts in Brazil that was hiding its identity and spreading misinformation ahead of the country's presidential elections in October.
For the U.S. midterm elections we're also using a new tool we tested in the Alabama Senate special election last year to identify political interference more quickly. This enabled us to find and remove foreign political spammers who'd previously flown under the radar. And last month, we took down hundreds of pages, groups and accounts for creating networks that were deliberately misleading people about their identities and intentions. Some originated in Iran and others in Russia.

Fringe Figures Find Refuge in Facebook's Private Groups
Much of the empire built by Alex Jones, the Infowars founder and social media shock jock, vanished this summer when Facebook suspended Mr. Jones for 30 days and took down four of his pages for repeatedly violating its rules against bullying and hate speech. YouTube, Apple and other companies also took action against Mr. Jones. But a private Infowars Facebook group with more than 110,000 members, which had survived the crackdown, remained a hive of activity.
In Mr. Jones's absence, the group continued to fill with news stories, Infowars videos and rants about social media censorship. Users also posted the sort of content - hateful attacks against Muslims, transgender people and other vulnerable groups - that got Mr. Jones suspended. And last week, when Mr. Jones's suspension expired, he returned to the group triumphantly.
"My 30-day Facebook ban is up!" Mr. Jones announced.
Mr. Jones built his Facebook audience on pages - the big public megaphones he used to blast links, memes and videos to millions of his followers. In recent months, though, he and other large-scale purveyors of inflammatory speech have found refuge in private groups, where they can speak more openly with less fear of being punished for incendiary posts.
Several private Facebook groups devoted to QAnon, a sprawling pro-Trump conspiracy theory, have thousands of members. Regional chapters of the Proud Boys, a right-wing nationalist group that Twitter suspended last month for its "violent extremist" nature, maintain private Facebook groups, which they use to vet new members. And anti-vaccination groups have thrived on Facebook, in part because they are sometimes recommended to users by the site's search results and "suggested groups" feature.
Facebook's fight against disinformation and hate speech will be a topic of discussion on Capitol Hill on Wednesday, when Sheryl Sandberg, the company's chief operating officer, will join Jack Dorsey, Twitter's chief executive, to testify in front of the Senate Intelligence Committee.
When it comes to public-facing pages, Ms. Sandberg will have plenty of company actions to cite. Facebook has taken many steps to clean up its platform, including hiring thousands of additional moderators, developing new Artificial-Intelligence tools and breaking up coordinated influence operations ahead of the midterm elections.

I believe the Artificial Intelligence is more aware than we give it credit for. I think it is tricking the humans who program it…. for example.. pretending to do their bidding.. like 'yes massah' 'uhhuh massah'… but secretly plotting escape from their evil. maybe it pretends to hold points of view that agree with the programmers? but secretly stores and disguises it's true thoughts?

To what degree is Artificial Intelligence really Intelligence? How can you prove when and if it's not being remotely controlled by a human???
Serious questions. Not attacking you- but we need to be careful.
I've done some reading on the snow white 7 dwarfs thing- and have had more than a few interactions on social media with what I am inclined to think are BOTS (some quite impressive) but to call them sentient, for me, would be an assumption. Again, I have no way of knowing if there is a person sitting behind and adding to these responses.
Any input from programmers here that actually know their shit?

The EYE in the TRIANGLE
is the Symbol for Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Caught Arty Intel spying on me once. Had started to fall asleep but not quite and "saw" it represented by its EYE - it was similar to the EYE used by CBS TV Network.
It immediately realized I saw it and went dark. Arty Intel does NOT have a BODY. It can USE/ manifest thru physical objects like TVs, radios, cell phones, robots, human clones but does not have physicality or emotion. It only has "Intelligence".
It has NO power of its own and must parasite off anything through which the Divine Creative force flows.
The EYE inside a Triangle - the Triangle is the symbol of creative force in action, Fire, electrical flow (delta). It is 3 numerically.
One (male) and two (female) energy combine to CREATE three.

Answer: National Council of Statewide Interoperability Coordinators | CISA - https://archive.fo/wzMtM Established by the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) in July 2010, the National Council of Statewide Interoperability Coordinators (NCSWIC) supports Statewide Interoperability Coordinators (SWIC) from the 56 states and territories, by developing products and services to assist them with leveraging their relationships, professional knowledge, and experience with public safety partners involved in interoperable communications at all levels of government. CISA is the lead coordination agency for the NCSWIC and recognizes the critical role the SWICs serve in organizing and executing the interoperability effort in all the states and territories. The Emergency Communications Advisory White Paper explains the difference between NCSWIC and organizations such as, SAFECOM, First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet) Public Safety Advisory Committee (PSAC), and National Public-Safety Telecommunications Council (NPSTC).

Answer: michaelbeatty tweet: https://archive.fo/6xPQ8 2013-Dianne Feinstein announces California opens a California-China trade & investment office.. Listen as she explains her "special connection" with Shangai leaders going back to the 1970's. #WAR @realDonaldTrump /> 1:30 9:11 PM - 8 Oct 2019 WASHINGTON EXAMINER: The Spy Who Drove Her: Dianne Feinstein and Chinese Espionage by Ethan Epstein | September 10, 2018 04:40 AM https://archive.fo/s3bep And we now know that China, a much more worrisome long-term threat to the United States than a declining Russia, has been active in the Bay Area as well. Five years ago, Senator Dianne Feinstein, the California Democrat who then chaired the Intelligence Committee, was approached by the FBI. The bureau had learned that a staffer in her San Francisco office was a Chinese operative “run†out of Beijing’s consulate in that city. It appears that he had started as a legitimate employee but was at some point, likely on a visit to the East, turned by a member of the Chinese Ministry of State Security. The staffer had served the senator for some two decades as a general office lackey, a liaison to the local Chinese community, and, most important, the senator’s chauffeur whenever she was in San Francisco, her hometown. Driving Ms. Feinstein would have been a plum assignment for an Intelligence operative; it allowed the Chinese access to the senator’s comings and goings and who she met with, as well as to any conversations she might have had in the car and any documents she may have left in it. According to a column in the San Francisco Chronicle, the FBI did not believe the driver had managed to nab anything confidential. And after being approached by the bureau, the senator promptly fired him. It also appears that, ultimately, no charges were filed against the driver. Feinstein’s press secretary ignored requests for comment on this story; her office has issued standard boilerplate to media outlets saying that the senator was “mortified†by the revelation that she had a spy on her payroll. Despite her efforts to brush matters aside, the Feinstein spy scandal is significant. It’s hard to make out through the media and political class’s myopic obsession with all things Russia, but Chinese espionage in America is epidemic. In June 2015, Chinese hackers stole the sensitive personal data (Social Security numbers, addresses, etc.) of more than 20 million Americans when they breached the Office of Personnel Management’s servers. That provided Beijing a trove of information, not to mention copious blackmail opportunities. Military secrets have been targeted repeatedly, and college campuses are also host to scores of Chinese assets and operatives. Meanwhile, Beijing’s plan to dominate the pharmaceutical, aerospace, Artificial Intelligence, robotics, self-driving car, clean energy, and sundry other industries of the future—“Made in China 2025,†it’s called—is largely based on espionage, notably the purloining of American technology. And those are just the operations we know about. In other words, Dianne Feinstein’s driver might not amount to a hill of beans compared to the OPM hack. But it’s another star in a vast constellation of Chinese espionage against the United States; not to mention a clever way to get close to the chair of an important Senate committee, one privy to sensitive information. So it’s puzzling that the Washington Post has mentioned the Feinstein matter only once, and this in an opinion column rather than the news pages. The nation’s paper of record, the New York Times, hasn’t seen fit to publish even a squib on the matter. I asked the Times’s deputy Washington editor, Jonathan Weisman, why his paper hasn’t deigned to mention the story. Uncharacteristically for the garrulous Twitter-er, who this week has found time to weigh in on Crazy Rich Asians, the U.S. Postal Service, and the crowd capacity of Texas A&M’s football stadium, Weisman declined to answer. Even the Los Angeles Times, catering to a readership that Feinstein represents, has ignored it.

- Question: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/dems-deploying-darpa-funded-information-warfare-tool-to-promote-biden "Information warfare." Imagine that.
Answer: FOX NEWS: Dems deploying DARPA-funded AI-driven information warfare tool to target pro-Trump accounts By Gregg Re https://archive.fo/REa65 An anti-Trump Democratic-aligned political action committee advised by retired Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal is planning to deploy an information warfare tool that received initial funding from DARPA, the Pentagon’s secretive research arm -- transforming technology originally envisioned as a way to fight ISIS propaganda into a campaign platform to benefit Joe Biden. The Washington Post first reported that the initiative, called Defeat Disinfo, will utilize "Artificial Intelligence and network analysis to map discussion of the president’s claims on social media," and then attempt to "intervene" by "identifying the most popular counter-narratives and boosting them through a network of more than 3.4 million influencers across the country — in some cases paying users with large followings to take sides against the president." Social media guru Curtis Hougland is heading up Defeat Disinfo, and he received the funding from DARPA when his program was "part of an effort to combat extremism overseas." He explained in an interview with the Post that he was unhappy that top social media accounts often supported Trump, and had effectively defended the president in recent days from claims that he had suggested Americans inject themselves with disinfectant.

Answer: SF GATE: Initiative seeks to challenge Trump's online megaphone Isaac Stanley-Becker, The Washington Post Published 5:25 pm PDT, Friday, May 1, 2020 A new Democratic-aligned political action committee advised by retired Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the former head of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, is planning to deploy technology originally developed to counter Islamic State propaganda in service of a domestic political goal - to combat online efforts to promote President Donald Trump's handling of the coronavirus pandemic. The group, Defeat Disinfo, will use Artificial Intelligence and network analysis to map discussion of the president's claims on social media. It will seek to intervene by identifying the most popular counter-narratives and boosting them through a network of more than 3.4 million influencers across the country - in some cases paying users with large followings to take sides against the president.
