2. Rise of #MeTooBots: scientists develop AI to detect harassment in emails
Artificial intelligence programmers are developing bots that can identify digital bullying and sexual harassment. Known as “#MeTooBots” after the high-profile movement that arose after allegations against the Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein, the bots can monitor and flag communications between colleagues and are being introduced by companies around the world.

3. US announces AI software export restrictions
The US will impose new restrictions on the export of certain AI programs overseas, including to rival China. The ban, which comes into force on Monday, is the first to be applied under a 2018 law known as the Export Control Reform Act or ECRA. This requires the government to examine how it can restrict the export of “emerging” technologies “essential to the national security of the United States” — including AI. News of the ban was first reported by Reuters.

4. The Top 10 Artificial Intelligence Trends Everyone Should Be Watching In 2020
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has undoubtedly been the technology story of the 2010s, and it doesn’t look like the excitement is going to wear off as the new decade dawn. The past decade will be remembered as the time when machines that can truly be thought of as “intelligent” – as incapable of thinking, and learning, like we do – started to become a reality outside of science fiction.

5. Will AI take over? Quantum theory suggests otherwise
Will artificial intelligence one day surpass human thinking? The rapid progress of AI, coupled with our standard fear of machines, has raised concerns that its abilities will one day start to grow uncontrollably, eventually leading it to take over the world and wipe out humanity if it decides we are an obstacle to its goals. This moment is usually referred to as the “AI singularity”.

6. Deep learning vs. machine learning: Understand the differences
Machine learning and deep learning are both forms of artificial intelligence. You can also say, correctly, that deep learning is a specific kind of machine learning. Both machine learning and deep learning start with training and test data and a model and go through an optimization process to find the weights that make the model best fit the data.

9. MIT Develops Machine-Learning Tool to Make Code Run Faster
MIT researchers have invented a machine-learning tool that predicts how fast computer chips will execute code from various applications. To get code to run as fast as possible, developers and compilers — programs that translate programming language into machine-readable code — typically use performance models that run the code through a simulation of given chip architectures.
