Share & Discuss AI tech, applications, standards, policy, predictions & fictions – incl related technical, expectational, ethical and societal issues.

Welcome to the Community

Welcome to the Artificial Intelligence Community, a group for people interested in AI & technology 🤖

The development of AI is as fundamental as the creation of the microprocessor, the personal computer, the Internet, and the mobile phone. It will change the way people work, learn, travel, get health care, and communicate with each other. Entire industries will reorient around it. Businesses will distinguish themselves by how well they use it.

This community explores AI technologies, AI (robotic) embodiments, AI applications, AI-human interactions, AI standards and policy, AI predictions and fictions – and their related technical, expectational, ethical and societal issues.

Share & discuss the latest research, techniques, and advancements in artificial intelligence, data science, data visualization, deep learning, machine learning, NLP, computer vision, ethics in AI, robotics, self-driving cars, paper discussions, daily AI news and more!  We welcome people from diverse backgrounds and experience levels and offers a valuable “village square” for sharing ideas and opinions across the AI community. 🦾

no need to wait 6 months.  Google just said - "hold my beer".  

Today at I/O, Google announces Project Astra, a universal #Artificial Intelligence agent.  Powered by Google Gemini, it can understand what you say + what you point your camera to.

It looks remarkably clever, it seems to have memory and it can identify a wide range of inputs: where you are, engineering diagrams, even where you left your glasses

Google AI - A shake-up in the management ranks of the tech giant, unveiled on Thursday, belatedly fixes a flaw in the company’s artificial intelligence organization, one that had constrained its ability to compete with ChatGPT’s creator, OpenAI.  

CEO Sundar Pichai today moved the team behind Google’s Gemini AI chatbot from its search and ads unit to its DeepMind AI research team.  

Previously, they combined Google’s two #Artificial Intelligence  research efforts under DeepMind chief Demis Hassabis but didn’t give Hassabis oversight of how AI products got rolled out.

I’m Sam, I’m the curriculum director at Gregorio Perfecto High School in Manila, Philippines. I’ve been an educator and administrator for just over 25 years. Our school is spending a good amount on edtech, but I don’t feel like we’re getting the most out of it. I’d love to learn from everyone what is working for them. Thanks!
