As the field of data science matures, a distinct specialization is emerging: data engineering. Tech giants like Facebook, Amazon, and Google recognize the value of data engineers relative to data scientists. That’s why they’re targeting candidates with skills to build critical infrastructure like data pipelines and warehouses. The best computer science degrees keep up with […]

Applying For Your Next Job May Be an Automated Nightmare
merbs writes: If you think looking for a job is already daunting, anxiety-riddled, and unpleasant, just wait until the algorithms take over the hiring process. When they do, a newfangled ‘digital recruiter’ like VCV, which just received $1.7 million in early investment, hopes it will look something like this: First, a search bot will be used to scan CVs by the…
Mind-reading device uses AI to turn brainwaves into audible speech
People’s brainwaves have been converted into speech using electrodes on the brain. The method could one day help people speak who have lost the ability Source: https://www.newscientist.com/article/2200683-mind-reading-device-uses-ai-to-turn-brainwaves-into-audible-speech/?utm_campaign=RSS%7CNSNS&utm_source=NSNS&utm_medium=RSS&utm_content=home…
Machine mind hack: The new threat that could scupper the AI revolution
Even tiny tweaks to data can confuse AI algorithms, potentially arming cyber attackers with a way to undermine everything from image recognition to driverless cars Source: https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg24232270-200-machine-mind-hack-the-new-threat-that-could-scupper-the-ai-revolution/?utm_campaign=RSS%7CNSNS&utm_source=NSNS&utm_medium=RSS&utm_content=home…
Engineers Develop Colorful Printed Patch That Hides People From AI
A group of engineers from the University of KU Leuven in Belgium have come up with a solution to make users invisible to one specific algorithm. “In a paper shared last week on the preprint server arXiv, these students show how simple printed patterns can fool an AI system that’s designed to recognize people in images,” reports The Verge. From the…
