A school used facial recognition tech for cafeteria payments. An internet law expert says it’s rarely worth the risk.

A school used facial recognition tech for cafeteria payments. An internet law expert says it’s rarely worth the risk.

The UK's data protection regulator issued a formal reprimand to a 1,200-pupil high school in Essex, a county in southeast England, for not conducting a data protection impact assessment before installing the FRT.The assessment looks at the risks associated with processing sensitive data and establishes how to manage them.The Information Commissioner's Office said the school for kids aged 11 to 18 did not have explicit permission to process their data."Handling people's information correctly in a school canteen environment is as important as the handling of the food itself," Lynne Currie, the head of privacy innovation at the ICO, said."We've taken…

Fine-Grained Scene Graph Generation via Sample-Level Bias Prediction

Fine-Grained Scene Graph Generation via Sample-Level Bias Prediction

arXiv:2407.19259v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Scene Graph Generation (SGG) aims to explore the relationships between objects in images and obtain scene summary graphs, thereby better serving downstream tasks. However, the long-tailed problem has adversely affected the scene graph's quality. The predictions are dominated by coarse-grained relationships, lacking more informative fine-grained ones. The union region of one object pair (i.e., one sample) contains rich and dedicated contextual information, enabling the prediction of the sample-specific bias for refining the original relationship prediction. Therefore, we propose a novel Sample-Level Bias Prediction (SBP) method for fine-grained SGG (SBG). Firstly, we train a classic SGG…

Mixed signals on tech stocks amid debate over viability of AI boom

Investors are sending mixed signals regarding their appetite for tech stocks, as the growing debate over the artificial intelligence boom, and a US clampdown on chip exports to China, raise questions over the direction of growth for key companies.There were fears of a fresh sell-off after the US-listed shares in the chip maker Nvidia dropped 7% overnight, amid concerns that excitement over companies at the forefront of artificial intelligence development had been overblown.Nvidia, which has been the biggest beneficiary of the AI boom, has now fallen by 20% from last month’s peak. The semiconductor designer Arm, which has also benefited…

Generating Gender Alternatives in Machine Translation

Generating Gender Alternatives in Machine Translation

arXiv:2407.20438v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Machine translation (MT) systems often translate terms with ambiguous gender (e.g., English term "the nurse") into the gendered form that is most prevalent in the systems' training data (e.g., "enfermera", the Spanish term for a female nurse). This often reflects and perpetuates harmful stereotypes present in society. With MT user interfaces in mind that allow for resolving gender ambiguity in a frictionless manner, we study the problem of generating all grammatically correct gendered translation alternatives. We open source train and test datasets for five language pairs and establish benchmarks for this task. Our key technical…

Four ways to make AI algorithms more sustainable and better for consumers

Four ways to make AI algorithms more sustainable and better for consumers

As artificial intelligence (AI) technologies become more embedded into our everyday lives and business operations, their high energy demands and environmental impacts call for a more sustainable approach to building algorithms – the sets of instructions used to inform this technology. Training large AI models can use vast amounts of energy. For example, training an AI platform called GPT-3 required 1,287 MWh of electricity – that’s equivalent to the annual emissions of more than 100 petrol cars. Sustainable AI practices can reduce environmental demands, improve user experiences and enhance system reliability and performance, thereby reducing the risk of potentially catastrophic…

A timeline of the twists since ‘Baby Reindeer’ was released, as Richard Gadd releases ‘explicit’ emails he claims Fiona Harvey sent him

Since its release in April, Netflix's true crime drama "Baby Reindeer" has become a pop-culture phenomenon.The series was created by its lead actor, Richard Gadd, who plays a fictional version of himself called Donny Dunn. It's based on his experiences with being stalked by a woman earlier in his career, when he was trying to make it as a comedian.Buzz around the show quickly snowballed, as audiences tried to track down Dunn's stalker, Martha Scott, and his abuser, Darrien.Forensic psychologist, Dr. Ruth Tully, told Business Insider that true-crime shows like "Baby Reindeer" turn audiences into armchair detectives because the genre…

AI and Human Resources: Transforming the Future of Workforce Management

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into Human Resources (HR) is revolutionizing how organizations manage their workforce. From streamlining administrative tasks to enhancing recruitment processes, AI is making HR functions more efficient and effective. This article explores the various ways AI is transforming HR practices and how it contributes to efficient EOR payroll processing, among other benefits. AI in Recruitment and Talent Acquisition AI has significantly altered the landscape of recruitment and talent acquisition. Traditional hiring processes often involved a time-consuming series of steps, from posting job ads to sifting through resumes. AI tools are now accelerating these processes by…

The Morning After: Google dismisses Elon Musk’s claim that autocomplete interfered in the election

Google has responded to allegations it “censored” searches about Donald Trump after Elon Musk baselessly claimed the company had imposed a “search ban” on the former president. Google explained the bugs in its autocomplete feature caused the issues. But Musk’s tweet, viewed more than 118 million times, has forced the search giant to publicly explain one of its most basic features.Google added that the strange suggestions for “president donald” were due to a “bug that spanned the political spectrum.” It also affected searches related to former President Barack Obama and other political figures.— Mat SmithThe biggest stories you might have…
