@stopsatgreen Artificial Intelligence is becoming very good, very quickly.

How deep learning works

@stopsatgreen

@stopsatgreen Now the AIs are coming for your job.

Is your job at risk? Abstractions People Pictures Words Numbers
Routine Variety You’re alright Get nervous Bye Bye

@stopsatgreen A shallow magnitude 4.7 earthquake was reported Monday morning
ﬁve miles from Westwood, California, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The temblor occurred at 6:25 a.m. Paciﬁc time at a depth of 5.0 miles.

@stopsatgreen Kitty couldn’t fall asleep for a long time. Her
nerves were strained as two tight strings, and even a glass of hot wine, that Vronsky made her drink, did not help her. Lying in bed she kept going over and over that monstrous scene at the meadow.

@stopsatgreen

@stopsatgreen One in five of us could be out of
work.

@stopsatgreen

@stopsatgreen –Travis Gertz “The work we produce is repeatable and
predictable. It panders to a common denominator. We build buckets and templates to hold every kind of content, then move on to the next component of the system. Digital design is a human assembly line.”

@stopsatgreen – Wired “[muScalpel] successfully transplanted a video coding format
from one media player to another. It took the automated system 26 hours to complete the transplant, while VLC's manual addition of the code happened over a period of 20 days.”

@stopsatgreen – MIT news “Helium is a system that revamps
and ﬁne- tunes code without ever needing the original source, in a matter of hours or even minutes.”

@stopsatgreen AI can’t do our job, but it can do
bits of our job.

@stopsatgreen – Travis Gertz “While we’ve been streamlining our processes
and perfecting our machine-like assembly techniques, others have been watching closely and assembling their own machines. We’ve designed ourselves right into an environment ripe for automation.”

@stopsatgreen

@stopsatgreen – Travis Gertz “We need to be better than
the machines. It’s time to step up and design with heart.”

@stopsatgreen

@stopsatgreen – Cameron Moll “Mastery of creation and composition is
much more important than mastery of tools.”

@stopsatgreen – Andrew Ng “We need to enable a lot
of people to do non- routine, non-repetitive tasks. Teaching innovation and creativity could be one way to get there.”

@stopsatgreen We should welcome the benefits of AI into our
builds.

@stopsatgreen – Cennydd Bowles “AI is becoming a cornerstone of
user experience. This is going to be interesting (read: diﬃcult) for designers.”

@stopsatgreen – Cennydd Bowles “We’ll have to create frameworks /
scaﬀolds / templates for AIs to deliver output through. These scaﬀolds may be sonic, tactile, and linguistic as well as visual.”

@stopsatgreen Much of The Grid’s featureset is repackaged existing tech.

@stopsatgreen

@stopsatgreen We can use AI to provide better services to
our users.

@stopsatgreen Artificial Intelligence is becoming very good, very quickly. Artificial
Intelligence is becoming very available, very quickly.

@stopsatgreen

@stopsatgreen The more you train deep learning systems, the better
they get.

@stopsatgreen

@stopsatgreen At a certain point your users’ expectations will be
raised.

@stopsatgreen

@stopsatgreen Natural language processing is the ‘killer app’ of deep
learning.

@stopsatgreen

@stopsatgreen The real advantage of AI is in conversation.

@stopsatgreen Machine: hi, this is <name> from helpdesk connect, what
can i help you with today? Human: hi, i forgot my password. can you tell me how i can recover it? Machine: i’ll need to verify who it is at that machine. can we do a hangout? Human: yes Machine: <a hangout ensues> Human: cool, i am good now

@stopsatgreen

@stopsatgreen –Kyle Dent “A conversation is a sequence of turns
where each utterance follows from what’s already been said and is relevant to the overall interaction. Dialog systems must maintain a context over several turns.”

@stopsatgreen Virtual assistants are everybody’s new jam.

@stopsatgreen

@stopsatgreen Conversation doesn’t need to be vocal, but it helps.

@stopsatgreen Making computers talk is easy.

@stopsatgreen

@stopsatgreen Making computers listen is easy… now.

@stopsatgreen Since 2012 Google’s voice recognition error rate has dropped
from 26% to 8%.

@stopsatgreen 10% of Baidu search queries are by voice. That’s
approx. 500m per day.

@stopsatgreen

@stopsatgreen !

@stopsatgreen Making computers understand is hard. But possible.

@stopsatgreen

@stopsatgreen From GUI to CUI.

@stopsatgreen

@stopsatgreen Conversational UI is an idea whose time has come.

@stopsatgreen Old problems still apply to  new interaction models.

@stopsatgreen

@stopsatgreen Bollocks.

@stopsatgreen The ready availability of deep learning happened so quickly
that we barely realised.

@stopsatgreen AI is improving rapidly. AI will take some jobs.
AI can’t create like people. AI can make your work better.
