Adversarial AI: Profiting from Algorithm Deception

By Dick Weisinger

Adversarial AI is the purposeful manipulation of machine learning input data with the intent of causing the algorithm to misinterpret the data, causing it to reach conclusions favorable to the attacker. It is like an optical illusion for the algorithm.…

Artificial Intuition: When Algorithms have Hunches

By Dick Weisinger

The current generation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) algorithms are focused on sifting through massive amounts of data to identify patterns that enable forecasts and predictions. But AI hasn’t done well with general problem solving. The human…

Artificial Intelligence: The Difficult Task of Taking the Bias out of Algorithms

By Dick Weisinger

Algorithms are increasingly being used score, rank and screen just about everything. Algorithms scan resumes, credit applications, housing applications and more. They have a say in which school your child may attend and which product advertisements and even product pricing…

Synthetic Data: Fake Data Can’t Match the Richness of the Real Thing

By Dick Weisinger

Synthetic data is artificially-generated data that is used to train AI and machine-learning algorithms. Rather than measure and collect data from real events, synthetic data is derived from a small number of existing data sets. Training machine learning algorithms often…

Machine Deception: Seeing May No Longer be Believing — Deepfakes

By Dick Weisinger

Deepfakes are video and audio clips that have been altered to make it appear that real people say or do things that they never said nor did. Machine learning and video and audio editing software has become so sophisticated that…
