Significant changes are afoot in the advertising industry. In the last month alone, Netflix announced it may enter the ad business, lawmakers introduced bipartisan bills to throttle Googles digital ad dominance and Facebook rolled out changes to help advertisers achieve more precision in their targeting. As major players prepare, advertisers have an opportunity to manage these changes in a way that optimizes ad spending and addresses the problem of bias in ad technology.

Bias is a well-known issue for the ad industry, and the programmatic technologies the companies have adopted to supercharge marketing campaigns may not be improving matters. Nearly $1 trillion of digital media flows through programmatic engines that segment and target specific audiences, sometimes missing large consumer groups in the process. Not only can that contribute to improper bias, but its also an inefficient way to spend your ad dollars.

The industry needs to do better, and we need to start now.

Why now? Marketers are rebuilding their technology infrastructures to benefit from artificial intelligence (AI). Netflix already relies heavily on AI to personalize content, and Nike uses it to sell to consumers directly. These developments require that marketers create a foundation of trust with consumers, and to keep pace with the industry, it must be done in a way that scales.

Its why, as an industry, we must tap into AI and leverage the powerful tools at our disposal to help mitigate the bias problem.

As AI algorithms come to dominate in the industrys efforts to find audiences and serve ads, we must integrate mitigation tools to avoid reinforcing biased thinking. That is, rather than letting AI exacerbate the problem, we must make the technology part of the solution. Doing this can help bring fairness by adapting ad buying behavior to reach more diverse audiences. By embedding fairness metrics and AI algorithms into the core of marketing processes, we can deliver a more effective value exchange between consumers and brands and potentially generate improved ROI on media dollars spent.

The technology needed to mitigate bias in ads already exists, and companies in finance, human capital management, healthcare, education and many other industries are testing open-source toolkits that build bias mitigation into their marketing processes. Its time for the advertising industry to make a concerted effort to build fairness into our marketing technology as well.

AI bias occurs when the machine learning process used to create AI models places certain privileged groups at a systematic advantage and certain unprivileged groups at a systematic disadvantage. Such bias could impact a financial institutions ability to fairly assign credit scores or issue mortgages, or it could affect an insurance companys ability to accurately predict medical expenditures for different clients.

In advertising, bias can prevent consumers from being exposed to certain brands and information based on flawed algorithmic analysis. Often, this does harm to both the consumers and the brands. Embedding fairness metrics and AI algorithms into the marketing processes could enable the technology to, for example, automatically and at scale generate anomaly reports when something doesnt look right with the data indexing as media plans are executing.

If such a fairness solution can be applied to the core of how we do marketing today, we could not only help reduce bias, but also potentially help brands get a better return on their media spending.

Addressing this problem is bigger than just one company. We need the best minds and resources in the marketing industry working together to address systematic bias in advertising. If our industry refuses to acknowledge the problem and fails to try to embed fairness into our core marketing processes and tools, then we could be facing a future dominated by ad platform consolidation, opaque metrics and automation-enhanced bias. An open, transparent approach to governance, AI and data sharing can help brands take back control of how they communicate with their audiences.

Frankly, I dont see how anyone in our industry can be aware of the potential bias problem and not be passionate about addressing it. Its the right thing to do for society, in that youre making information about products and services available to people who, because of bias, might not be exposed to those things. And its the right thing to do for brands, helping them better connect with a larger set of consumers that can help drive more business.

Im calling for an industry-wide effort encompassing every team, function, brand, agency and ad-tech provider. Leaders across the industry must commit to tackling bias together, if we are to make our industry better, more equitable, and more fit for the future.

PartyCasino Looks at AI and Future Advancements - Investing News Network

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. Purdues College of Engineering announced the formation of the Institute of Hard AI on Tuesday (June 14) during the 11th annual meeting of the National Academy of Inventors in Phoenix. The collegewide institute positions Purdue as a national leader in artificial intelligence at the interface of the virtual and physical worlds.

To understand the term hard AI, think of it as bytes meet atoms. The full power of AI is at the interface between what we code and what we touch.

Intended to become a national leader at this frontier and guided by a top-tier alumni advisory board, the institute will combine research, teaching and commercialization in three areas:

AI by hardware: Future AI applications will place unprecedented demands on computing platforms, requiring advances in function-specific AI hardware to control complex systems and interconnected processes. Autonomous and connected systems, energy generation/distribution, health care and smart agriculture are examples of systems that will require specially designed AI chips. Leveraging Purdues unique strength in cognitive computing, the Institute of Hard AI will focus on a unique algorithm-to-hardware codesign approach, addressing challenges at all levels: algorithms, system architecture, circuits and devices.

AI of hard stuff: The location for AI is increasingly dispersed through edge computing, where computation, communication and control all move closer to the end users and are dispersed in a distributed, variable, highly constrained and underorganized computing substrate. This brings new challenges to the design of AI systems, including hardware heterogeneity, robustness and the need for extreme energy efficiency. Purdue has some of the worlds leading experts in edge computing, remote sensing and 5G systems. AI doesnt just live in the cloud it will be all around us.

AI for physical things: When AI is used for decisions at the interface of virtual-physical worlds, the criteria for success change. For example, responsiveness and safety matter no less than accuracy and throughput. From autonomous trucks to pharmaceutical manufacturing, from nuclear reactor operation to connected things in digital agriculture, Purdue leads the nation anytime applications touch physical things.

Kaushik Roy, the Edward G. Tiedemann, Jr. Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, will serve as director of the institute; several associate directors will be named soon.

Roy said, From smart self-driving cars to smart homes, even smarter manufacturing to smart agriculture, AI systems will profoundly change the way we live by enabling transformative solutions to societal-scale challenges that we face. To bring that future forward, the Institute of Hard AI will coalesce Purdue Engineerings world-leading strength in hardware design, cognitive computing, learning algorithms and the Internet of Things, shaping bold advances in state-of-the-art AI systems. Our relentless focus will be on real-world impact driven by an aggressive and targeted research road map, unique workforce development and comprehensive partnerships with industry, federal and state government agencies to spur economic activity.

The institute will be guided by an alumni advisory board that comprises luminaries from industry, including Chris Lister (BSIE 95), Mike Harris (BSCEE 91), Dan Rosckes (BSIE 84) and Ujjwal Singh (BS computer science 94 and BSEE 94).

The institute is a one-of-a-kind comprehensive venture with a list of initiatives that includes cutting-edge research and innovation; courses related to hard AI for both industry and academia, including a minor degree in AI for physical applications; a distinguished lecture series; industry partnerships; student-industry networking and career development; and technology commercialization. The effort will also grow to include multiple other departments and colleges on the Purdue campus.

Panakeia wins the dragon-den style pitching competition from 30 of the best and brightest AI startups

Alongside the lineup of exhibitors, talks and roundtables, this years AI London Summit introduced its first-ever Into the Den event designed to platform early-stage startups focused on applied AI. Into the Den takes the format of a dragons den-style pitching competition, with 30 startu-ps in the first round being whittled down to five to answer questions from a panel of judges.

The winning team is health care start-up Panakeia, an AI group that has designed a platform to create digital twins of patients cancer cells, allowing doctors to trial different therapies on the digital copy to determine the most effective treatment. Such a solution offers savings in not only time and money but also makes the process of patients treatments far less strenuous.

We are developing the next generation of multi-omic biomarker profiling it might sound like Greek to you but imagine the way cancer is being treated at the moment, said co-founder Pandu Raharja-Liu. Previously, if you got cancer there werent actually that many treatments available to you and many would only solve some part of a patients problems.

In the last couple of years weve found out some parts of the population respond better to certain treatments depending on their biomarker profile, and what researchers have done is before applying treatment, a number of tests are run on cancer patients to see which treatment is best suited to them, he said.

While allowing patients to be assigned the most accurate therapies, these tests are time-consuming, costly and use a part of cancerous tissue from the patient that eventually runs out. This process is also physically and emotionally draining for a patient. Here is where Panakeia has stepped in, to take the testing process out of the lab and into the web.

Weve developed our platform to profile the cancerous tissue digitally, said Raharja-Liu. Creating a digital scan of the tissue allows us to provide a prediction of a patients multi-omic biomarkers without having to do a molecular test. So its very fast, it doesnt require wet-lab tests on tissue and you can do it pretty much everywhere.

Once these unique biomarkers are identified, limitless numbers of tests can be run without fear of the patients tissue running out, allowing for a rapid discovery of the most appropriate treatments.

The group had their first system one for screening breast cancer clinically approved, with work underway for a colo-rectal system next. Speaking with Raharja-Liu, the receipt of the Into The Den prize is also a welcome sign that Panakeias technology is being recognized, and that the work is paying off.

Sometimes its hard to make people believe in what were doing, said Raharja-Liu. But with this prize, its one of the validations that show people actually do believe in us and in the capabilities of the technology.

AI Summit 2022: Health Care AI Group Wins Into the Den Competition - IoT World Today

NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) Locals will have a chance to try the first craft beer created by an artificial intelligence platform in June.

The AI Blonde Ale will be released at a Launch Party at Nola Brewery on June 20to coincide with CVPR, the worlds premier computer vision event.

Derek Lintern, a brewer at NOLA Brewing said he is excited to have a helping hand when it comes to crafting beer.

Its state-of-the-art technology with the traditional brewing methods, its pretty unique and its a recipe I would have never done normally but I really like how it tastes its very refreshing and very easy drinking Im really happy with it, said Lintern.

The beer was an experiment between The Australian Institute for Machine Learning (AIML) and Barossa Valley Brewing (BVB), founded by DSilva.

DSilva said the idea all started with a beer.

Yeah thats how it started, it started with a beer, Im sure a lot of ideas for companies have started over a beer, this started over a beer and ended up creating a beer and a company which is great, said DSilva.

With the technology, it makes it easier for brewers to produce their products.

About 10 million people review beers every day, there are all these sites and they put it into the world basically to show people what they think of the beer. You do exactly the same thing, there are 5 questions, you scan a QR code answer 5 questions you rate the beer and instead of it going into a website maybe somebody reads maybe not. What happens is artificial intelligence picks that up and goes directly to the producer the AI then takes all that data and manipulates a recipe and then gives it to the producer here this is what the markets thinking, said DSilva.

Derek Lintern said the new technology is not meant to replace brewers, but to help with the process.

The technology helps create the recipe, but the beer is still brewed manually.

The AI beer will only be available in New Orleans for a limited time.

DSilva said he is excited to bring something new to an amazing city. I am so excited I cant think of a better place to launch a beer, said DSilva.

He added, I am really keen for people to get down here and taste the future.

Anyone interested in attending the launch of the new beer can visit NOLA Brewing from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Monday, June 20.

Deep Liquid is also offering 100 customers a free AI beer with their booking with Nola Pedal Barge and Nola Bike Bar.

They are offering $100 discount tickets to any of its private tours.

That includes any of the boat tours in Bayou Bienvenue as well as our pedal bike tour in the Bywater neighborhood.

For more information call (504) 264-1056) for NolaPedalBarge and (504) 308-1041 for NolaBikeBar.

Voicemod, a popular real-time voice changer, is starting to use artificial intelligence to transform your voice into Morgan Freeman and other characters. A new Voicemod AI Voices beta is launching today, offering up eight options to transform your voice into fantasy characters, pilots, astronauts, and the actor Morgan Freeman.

Voicemod has been transforming voices for years thanks to classic sound design techniques, but these new voice effects combine AI, too. The Morgan voice, as Voicemod calls it, is particularly impressive, allowing you to pretend to be the famous movie star or simply a polished voice actor. The new pilot voice is also a lot of fun, with sound effects that really make it sound like youre piloting an aircraft.

All of the voices are processed in real time, so theyre ideal for streaming on Twitch or for fun calls on Discord. All the data for these voices has been generated with the help of English-speaking professional voice actors with characteristics that match the voice that Voicemod is recreating. Actors read scripts to generate data for AI-based models, and then sound designers use traditional sound design techniques to turn the voices into fully-fledged characters. Many of the AI voices include dynamic effects, filters, and background music.

As these AI voices are processed on your own PC, they will require more CPU power than regular Voicemod effects. Voicemod is opening up a beta today (you can sign up here), and youll be able to test them on your PC to make sure there arent any audio dropouts or other performance issues. The main version of Voicemod is only available on PC right now (a mobile app exists), but a Mac version is on the way.

Realistic synthetic voices are getting ever more impressive as the years roll by. While AI voices have been a novelty in the past, tools like Resemble.AI and Respeecher have demonstrated the potential for content creators, letting editors use voice clones to edit spoken word recordings. Voicemods AI voices are now targeted at steamers and content creators, and theyre part of a wave of progress that shows just how close we are to everyone being able to clone voices freely.

Voicemod also launched its PowerPitch technology recently, allowing users to create a persistent online voice identity for gaming and role play, work, school, or just regular calls. This technology can easily be used for fun and pranks, but it can also benefit the millions of people with voice disorders to improve problems with pitch, loudness, and quality. It also benefits some trans gamers. AI isnt being applied to PowerPitch just yet, but it seems its only a matter of time before youll be able to have your own AI voice you can use for meetings, Discord calls, or anything else.

Xemblys conversational assistant Xena interacts with an employee in Slack about scheduling and summarizing an upcoming meeting. (Xembly Image)

While Siri and Alexa are busy getting you the days weather forecast or tracking down the name of the capital of some distant country, Xena has work to do.

The newest name on the conversational artificial intelligence landscape isnt a voice-activated assistant like those employed by Amazon and Apple. But Xena will chat with employees and handle a number of tasks that can bog workers down on the job.

The tech is part of Xembly, a startup co-founded by CEO Pete Christothoulou, the founder and former CEO of conversational analytics company Marchex; CTO Jason Flaks, who was a leading contributor to the Xbox Kinect and HoloLens products at Microsoft; and CGO Peter Francis, former global growth leader at Qualtrics.

Xembly is a Madrona Venture Labs company and its early customers have included, among others, Twilio, Unearth and Pacaso. Spencer Rascoff, former Zillow CEO and co-founder of Pacaso, is a Xembly investor. Lightspeed Venture Partners is the startups lead backer and others include Ascend founder Kirby Winfield, DocuSign founder Tom Gonser, and former Microsoft CXO Julie Larson-Green.

Everyone deserves to be supported like the CEO and every company needs their workers focused on high value work, Christothoulou said about the desire to create a digital executive assistant for knowledge workers.

Advances over the past few years in AI and natural language processing have made that goal achievable and now Xembly aims to automate such things as scheduling meetings, creating agendas, taking notes, tracking action items, setting and managing to-dos, and optimizing schedules.

Xena is a conversational agent sitting on top of the Xembly platform. It can understand conversations in Zoom or Google Meet, on Slack, and in email. It detects intention and then surfaces that intention to accomplish tasks and create efficiency across those other workplace tools.

After a Zoom call this week with Christothoulou and Flaks, Xena emailed me a meeting summary complete with action items such as the need to follow up for screen grabs and a bulleted recap of our 30-minute conversation.

When I exit a meeting, at the end of the day, I need to send out notes, Flaks said. And whats most important is, recap the meeting for me, for people that didnt go, and tell me what the action items were. Thats a big deal. And thats been our core focus.

Launched in beta a year ago, Christothoulou initially set out to build something with Xembly that would rethink and improve meetings. The enterprise idea morphed into supporting workers in more ways.

The tech is complicated from a conversational AI standpoint Xembly has to be a good listener and an active participant in meetings.

We have to understand the whole dialogue, Flaks said. We have to maintain context, we have to understand if people are talking on top of each other. Xembly then has to turn all of that into a summary that is readable and helpful.

Christothoulou said competitors, such as the transcription service Otter, have adjacent tools, but no one is organizing a suite of products that sits across the worker ecosystem the way Xembly does.

Flaks has more than 20 years experience in AI, ML and speech recognition technology. He spent six years at Marchex with Christothoulou, engineering the companys conversational products. His experience has taught him that automation is a slippery slope.

If you can automate to the point that the user doesnt have to do really any work or very little work, they love it, Flaks said. If you wind up having to do more work than you would have had to do if you just did it yourself, then its not helpful anymore.

Xembly employs 20 people, mainly in the Seattle area. Christothoulou, who is based in Los Angeles, said Xembly is not monetizing right now and the software will be free for the foreseeable future.
