AI fail: Japan\u2019s Henn-na Hotel dumps \u2018annoying\u2019 robot staff, hires humans<\/strong> <\/a>— from scmp.com by\u00a0Julian Ryall
\nDinosaur receptionists are a thing of the past as Japan\u2019s first robot hotel concludes there \u201care places where they are just not needed\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n

The hotel decided to withdraw the dinosaur and humanoid robots that staffed front desks at its properties because they were unable to respond to queries from guests about local attractions or access to airports. Humans were also on stand-by every time a guest\u2019s passport needed to be registered.<\/p>\n

AI predictions for 2019 from Yann LeCun, Hilary Mason, Andrew Ng, and Rumman Chowdhury<\/strong><\/a> — from venturebeat.com by Khair Johnson<\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n

In the year ahead, Chowdhury expects to see more government scrutiny and regulation of tech around the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cAI and the power that is wielded by the global tech giants raises a lot of questions about how to regulate the industry and the technology,\u201d she said. \u201cIn 2019, we will have to start coming up with the answers to these questions \u2014 how do you regulate a technology when it is a multipurpose tool with context-specific outcomes? How do you create regulation that doesn\u2019t stifle innovation or favor large companies (who can absorb the cost of compliance) over small startups? At what level do we regulate? International? National? Local?\u201d<\/p>\n

She also expects to see the continued evolution of AI\u2019s role in geopolitical matters.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is more than a technology, it is an\u00a0economy- and society-shaper. We reflect, scale, and enforce our values in this technology, and our industry needs to be less naive about the implications of what we build and how we build it,\u201d she said. For this to happen, she believes people need to move beyond the idea common in the AI industry that if we don\u2019t build it, China will, as if creation alone is where power lies.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWe hold the responsibility of recreating the world in a way that is more just, more fair, and more equitable while we have the rare opportunity to do so. This moment in time is fleeting; let\u2019s not squander it.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
