Deep-learning system detects human presence by harvesting RF signals (demo)
Researchers at Syracuse University in New York have recently developed a system that can detect the presence of humans in a given environment by analyzing ambient radio frequency (RF) signals. This new system, presented in a paper pre-published on arXiv, employs a convolutional neural network (CNN) trained on a vast amount of RF data.

"Our Twitter bot @KPFCityBot uses social media to engage people with urban design and planning concepts. This tool is both educational and enjoyable for users, a method for gamifying the design and feedback process. Users tweet at City Bot with a certain set of parameters – preferences for density, street grid type (ex. New York vs. London?) and amount of open space – and our listener runs an analysis. An image of that city is produced and then Tweeted back at the user, along with a series of performance metrics. "

Leaked Reports Show EU Police Are Planning a Pan-European Network of Facial Recognition Databases (The Intercept)
European police have long had access to fingerprint and DNA databases throughout the 27 countries of the EU and, in certain cases, the US. But soon, that investigator may be able to also search a network of police face databases spanning the whole of EU and the U.S.
The Global Expansion of AI Surveillance (Carnegie)
A growing number of states are deploying advanced AI surveillance tools to monitor, track & surveil citizens. Carnegie’s new index explores how different countries are going about this.

The process of mathematical modelling, performed on a computer, which is designed to predict the behaviour of and/or the outcome of a real-world or physical system. Simulation of a system is represented as the running of the system's model. It can be used to explore and gain new insights into new technology and to estimate the performance of systems too complex for analytical solutions.

Turing-NLG: A 17-billion-parameter language model by Microsoft
"Turing Natural Language Generation (T-NLG) is a 17 billion parameter language model by Microsoft that outperforms the state of the art on many downstream NLP tasks. We present a demo of the model, including its freeform generation, question answering, and summarization capabilities, to academics for feedback and research purposes. <|endoftext|>" – This summary was generated by the Turing-NLG language model itself.

Reuters Uses AI To Prototype First Ever Automated Video Reports
Developed in collaboration with London-based AI startup Synthesia, the new system harnesses AI in order to synthesize pre-recorded footage of a news presenter into entirely new reports. It works in a similar way to deepfake videos, although its current prototype combines with incoming data on English Premier League football matches to report on things that have actually happened.
