EXCERPT: Oi, AI – what do you think you’re looking at? Understanding why machine learning algorithms can be tricked into seeing things that aren’t there is becoming more important with the advent of things like driverless cars. Now we can glimpse inside the mind of a machine thanks to a test that reveals which parts of an image an AI is looking at. Artificial intelligences don’t make decisions in the same way that humans do. [...] It’s a big problem, says Chris Grimm at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. If we don’t understand why these systems make silly mistakes, we should think twice about trusting them with our lives in things like driverless cars, he says. [...] It’s really useful to be able to look at an AI and find out how it’s learning, says Dumitru Erhan, a researcher at Google. Grimm’s tool provides a handy way for a human to double-check that an algorithm is coming up with the right answer for the right reasons, he says....

Neuron transistor behaves like a brain neuron
https://m.phys.org/news/2017-06-neuron-t...brain.html
EXCERPT: Researchers have built a new type of "neuron transistor"—a transistor that behaves like a neuron in a living brain. These devices could form the building blocks of neuromorphic hardware that may offer unprecedented computational capabilities, such as learning and adaptation....
