Deepfakes, Snapchat and the Blues Brothers

Creative AI tools for virtual Halloween outfits during the pandemic — It’s nearly Halloween. We’re not expecting the usual hordes of miniature trick-or-treaters this year, whatever stage of lockdown we’re at by the 31st. But it did get me thinking about how to make a virtual outfit rather than dressing up in real life, as more befitting these strange times of…

Four Rules for Software Longevity

For a long time we had a fun bit of technology in the house that would make a cheering sound whenever Arsenal scored, running off a Raspberry Pi, using the BBC live football “videprinter” and our streaming music sound system. I was always incredulous to find it still worked at…

AI for radiology: do we need a new platform?

A neutral marketplace as new national infrastructure will speed adoption of AI for UK healthcare — This article represents my personal views and not those of Digital Catapult, NHS Digital or any other organisation. In a few years time there’ll be lots of AI apps to help with radiology. I don’t mean research studies or clinical trials. I mean apps deployed and approved and working [1]…

Who will own the metaverse?

The business of building the planet-scale augmented reality cloud — It’s been called the AR Cloud by many, the Magicverse by Magic Leap, the Mirrorworld by Wired, the Cyberverse by Huawei, Planet-scale AR by Niantic and Spatial Computing by academics. It’s a set of ideas straight out of science fiction, literally. “Cyberspace” was coined by SF author William Gibson. In…

Are AI systems team players?

This post also published by Business User magazine in Germany: Sind KI-Systeme Team-Player? We’re overrun with predictions about AI systems taking people’s jobs, expressed in numbers and percentages and trillions of dollars. But all the jobs I’ve ever had have always been in organisations, in teams, with colleagues and structures…

The “three knows” for improving human-AI communication

Does the AI know that I know that it knows? — Applications of AI are blossoming across industries, especially for repetitive individual tasks: looking for lesions in a mammogram, translating an article to French, or predicting when factory machinery will break down. But as AI systems are deployed into environments where they need to interact with us, a need for back…

Chatting to your alarm clock

Teenwaker: IoT alarm clock controlled by chatbot — Every morning at 6:45 my alarm wakes me. Not because I need to get up at 6:45, but so that I in turn can start the long process of getting sleepy teenagers out the door and off the school. Occasionally they make it out on their own, managing their shifting…

The Disconnected Connected

In among what’s undoubtedly the world’s densest concentration of pixels, clamouring for attention across the impossibly vast halls of the annual Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, it is hard to remember the quiet promises of pervasive, ambient, ubiquitous computing. …

Feathers: the Digital Revolution show, Black Swan and fun video experiments

I’d forgotten what a crazy utopian 60s view of the future the brutalist Barbican represented, and it was a very fitting location for the recent Digital Revolution show. Home computers from the 80s and early computer games were arrayed as hallowed artifacts, to the general bemusement of both younger and…
