Fascinating story!

Meet Dr Adrian Rubin, climatologist. She has a personal site and done online Q&As. The problem? It's a fake persona created to muddy search results for the real Adrian Rubin, a convicted payday loan scammer. My new story & thread about search manipulation: https://t.co/hscPSdgAoS

Great piece on the need to learn more than how to code, and rather to know enough to ask questions about how the code affects work, life, and community. And, let’s not forget the planet! —> @BiosphereCode

Fascinating examples of current topics. Below a photo showing facial recognition thwarting make-up. What happens when one arrives at an airport wearing this? Even if a playful statement? ⁦@rcalo⁩ talks about “tricking” AI & connections to cyber. #AspenCSF19 ⁦@IMbawue⁩

The breadth of #AI is astounding. $52B invested since 2017 in disparate industries. @andy_fitze @SwissCognitive says applications range from #shipping #retail #transportation to #farming (w/#drones), #healthcare #mining.Almost every industry touched/will be soon. @IPsoft #DWS2019

It’s real!

Interesting read: "The age of the robot farmers" in the New Yorker about the connection btw immigration polices, jobs, agriculture and converging tech - artificial intelligence, robotics, big data, machine vision, and drones.

A new study warns that self-driving cars may be likelier to hit black people than white people.

I wrote about it for @voxdotcom, with shoutouts to @jovialjoy and @katecrawford:

We just made Google windfarms much more efficient!!! We used AI to boost the value of wind energy by 20% by accurately predicting power output 36 hours ahead of actual generation... great follow up to our data centre work... https://t.co/LYJZpQ3vDk

How Remote Sensing Data, AI and Blockchain is improving crop yield and boosting agronomics. Read how IBM Research’s big data platform called PAIRS – Geoscope is helping. https://t.co/qdb5WjvQ2u #agriculture #IoT
