To human observers, the following two images are identical. But researchers at Google showed in 2015 that a popular object detection algorithm classified the left image as “panda” and the right one as ...

Machine learning, for all its benevolent potential to detect cancers and create collision-proof self-driving cars, also threatens to upend our notions of what's visible and hidden. It can, for ...

A neural network looks at a picture of a turtle and sees a rifle. A self-driving car blows past a stop sign because a carefully crafted sticker bamboozled its computer vision. An eyeglass frame ...

Much of the anti-adversarial research has been on the potential for minute, largely undetectable alterations to images (researchers generally refer to these as “noise perturbations”) that cause AI’s ...

The vulnerabilities of machine learning models open the door for deceit, giving malicious operators the opportunity to interfere with the calculations or decision making of machine learning systems.

Machine learning is becoming more important to cybersecurity every day. As I've written before, it's a powerful weapon against the large-scale automation favored by today's threat actors, but the ...

The fields of machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) have seen rapid developments in recent years. ML, a branch of AI and computer science, is the process through which computers can ...

Imagine the following scenarios: An explosive device, an enemy fighter jet and a group of rebels are misidentified as a cardboard box, an eagle or a sheep herd. A lethal autonomous weapons system ...

In some ways, Java was the key language for machine learning and AI before Python stole its crown. Important pieces of the data science ecosystem, like Apache Spark, started out in the Java universe.
