    Amazon's Alexa Announcement

    Among the many new announcements at Amazon’s recent fall event was an exciting update that provides a window into the future of machine learning technology. By now consumers are well aware of voice assistants, and Amazon’s Alexa leads the market. In fact, roughly one-in-four US adults owns a smart speaker, with 70-75% of that market share estimated to be captured by Amazon. This makes smart speakers in general, and Alexa in particular, one of the most recognizable and regular interactions that the average consumer has with machine learning technology. Machine learning is core to Alexa’s ability to understand natural language requests that are made by the user, and to predict how to most accurately respond to those requests.

    Is Machine Learning the Future of Cybersecurity?

    Some of our most valuable assets live online. From bank information to the entire infrastructure of online businesses. This makes data breaches an incredibly serious violation. As high profile data breaches make headlines, including Twitch most recently and even the U.S. government back in December, more companies are using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to address cybersecurity concerns. One example is Darktrace, a company that uses AI to identify cyber threats as early as possible.

    Are Biased Algorithms Even Preventable?

    Technology promises a wide range of efficiencies; one of the most promising and yet elusive is the removal of human bias from decision making. A recent paper published by New York University (NYU) researchers presents a glimmer of hope for a less biased future. The study found that during Covid-19, “the majority of Black borrowers who received aid from the $800 billion relief program got their loan from a financial technology company, not a bank.” The study explains that fin-tech companies and large banks that employed algorithms and automation demonstrated higher rates of loan approvals for Black borrowers compared to small banks not using the technology.

    Facebook in the News

    It’s been a bad few weeks for Facebook, starting with a massive trove of leaked internal documents and culminating most recently in a multi-hour service outage, as well as a 60 Minutes interview and US Senate testimony by a company whistleblower. The whistleblower, Frances Haugen, was a product manager at Facebook, and has provided documents and other evidence to journalists and Congress that paint an incredibly unflattering picture of the company.  In this episode we talk about Facebook's latest challenges and the integral role machine learning plays in making Facebook what it is today.
