We’re pleased to announce that Gary Marcus will present a sneak preview of his new book REBOOT: Getting to AI We Can Trust, co-authored with NYU computer scientist Ernie Davis (to be published by Pantheon in Fall 2019) at World Summit AI Americas taking place April 10-11 in Montreal, Canada.
The book is a powerful critique of the current state of AI that calls for a rethink of the entire paradigm of AI and machine learning.
The steady decline in business profitability across multiple industries threatens to erode future investment, innovation and shareholder value. Fortunately, a new factor of production—artificial intelligence (AI)—is emerging that can help kick-start profitability.

No one should trust Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Trust is a relationship between peers in which the trusting party, while not knowing for certain what the trusted party will do, believes any promises being made. AI is a set of system development techniques that allow machines to compute actions or knowledge from a set of data. Only other software development techniques can be peers with AI, and since these do not “trust”, no one actually can trust AI.

Social control, the mechanism for maintaining social order within communities, is as old as humanity itself. Without the necessary mechanisms for ensuring some degree of social control, communities would have been difficult to organize and maintain. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a game changer in this field, reflecting fundamental shifts in the contemporary technological and socio-political landscape. This piece will explore these various shifts, along with the unique ethical questions that accompany AI in the new age of social control.

ING is continuing to improve decision-making in bond trading. On 10 October, the bank launched Katana Lens, an artificial intelligence (AI) tool that helps investors to easily find and compare interesting trade ideas.
Co-created with Dutch pension fund PGGM, Katana Lens is a web-based application that uses predictive analytics to help bond investors make faster and sharper decisions within minutes.
“What used to take forever, now only takes five minutes and a cup of coffee,” said Santiago Braje, global head of Credit Trading, who announced Katana Lens today at the Artificial Intelligence Summit.

We need more realism in communicating AI
In 1965 AI-pioneer Herbert Simon predicted that “machines will be capable, within 20 years, of doing any work a man can do.” It was one of the first overpromises of AI and robots, but by far not the last.
In 2011 the IBM supercomputer Watson stunned the world by winning the tv-quiz Jeopardy, beating the two best humans of all times with a large margin. Ken Jennings, one of the two defeated humans, famously said at the end of the quiz: “I, for one, welcome our new computer overlords.” In the years that followed IBM cleverly developed the vision of revolutionising health care by using a retrained Watson to assist human doctors in making improved medical diagnoses.
