Researchers Fooled a Google AI Into Thinking a Rifle Was a Helicopter (wired.com)
An anonymous reader shares a Wired report: Algorithms, unlike humans, are susceptible to a specific type of problem called an "adversarial example." These are specially designed optical illusions that fool computers into doing things like mistake a picture of a panda for one of a gibbon. They can be images, sounds, or paragraphs of text. Think of them as hallucinations for algorithms. While a panda-gibbon mix-up may seem low stakes, an adversarial example could thwart the AI system that controls a self-driving car, for instance, causing it to mistake a stop sign for a speed limit one. They've already been used to beat other kinds of algorithms, like spam filters. Those adversarial examples are also much easier to create than was previously understood, according to research released Wednesday from MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. And not just under controlled conditions; the team reliably fooled Google's Cloud Vision API, a machine learning algorithm used in the real world today. For example, in November another team at MIT (with many of the same researchers) published a study demonstrating how Google's InceptionV3 image classifier could be duped into thinking that a 3-D-printed turtle was a rifle. In fact, researchers could manipulate the AI into thinking the turtle was any object they wanted.
Donald Trump conned half the US electorate into believing he would be a competent president who'd bring change and reform that'd benefit the common man at the expense of the super wealthy. So it seems to me that artificial intelligence and natural intelligence suffer from the same flaw, feed them enough garbage data and they'll believe anything.
Absolutely, because you need to feed people to the prison industry once weed gets legalized. And by people I mean black and brown people because white kids get off the hook with a slap on the wrist.

Hey, if black lives really mattered, how about addressing the fact that the biggest threat to black lives is other blacks?
White America has about the same crime rate as Switzerland.
And if black crime is caused by whitey, why are the victims black?
