Alphabet Inc’s Google fired staff scientist Margaret Mitchell on Friday, they both said, a move that fanned company divisions on academic freedom and diversity that were on display since its December dismissal of AI ethics researcher Timnit Gebru. Google has recruited top scientists with promises of research freedom, but the limits are tested as researchers increasingly write about the negative effects of technology and offer unflattering perspectives on their employer’s products.

new research from CSIRO’s Data61 in partnership with South Korea’s Sungkyunkwan University and the Cyber Security Cooperative Research Centre (CSCRC) has revealed that these object detectors can be exploited with relative ease. Through manipulation involving the use of simple objects, researchers have discovered that it is possible for people to digitally disappear and bypass detection despite the fact they are clearly in the video.

Google’s ‘Quantum Supremacy’ Isn’t the End of Encryption. As Preskill notes, that contest was uneven. Google carefully chose a problem naturally suited to its quantum hardware and writes in its paper that “technical leaps” are still needed to realize the promise of quantum computing. Dowling and others estimate it would take millions of high-quality qubit devices to threaten encryption, due to the complexity of the algorithms involved.

Google has reportedly built a quantum computer more powerful than the world's top supercomputers. A Google research paper was temporarily posted online this week, the Financial Times reported Friday, and said the quantum computer's processor allowed a calculation to be performed in just over 3 minutes. That calculation would take 10,000 years on IBM's Summit, the world's most powerful commercial computer, Google reportedly said.

Silicon Valley is also keenly interested. In a report in March, the Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation identified AI as an educational tool worthy of investment. In his 2018 book Rewiring Education, John Couch, Apple’s vice president of education, lauded Squirrel AI. (A Chinese version of the book is coauthored by Squirrel’s founder, Derek Li.) Squirrel also opened a joint research lab with Carnegie Mellon University this year to study personalized learning at scale, then export it globally. But experts worry about the direction this rush to AI in education is taking. At best, they say, AI can help teachers foster their students’ interests and strengths. At worst, it could further entrench a global trend toward standardized learning and testing, leaving the next generation ill prepared to adapt in a rapidly changing world of work.

Keller doesn’t agree. “The working title for this talk was ‘Moore’s law is not dead but if you think so you’re stupid,’" he said Sunday. He asserted that Intel can keep it going and supply tech companies ever more computing power. His argument rests in part on redefining Moore’s law. “I’m not pedantic about Moore’s law talking just about transistors shrinking—I’m interested in the technology trends and the physics and metaphysics around that,” Keller says. “Moore’s law is a collective delusion shared by millions of people.” Keller also said that Intel would need to try other tactics, such as building vertically, layering transistors or chips on top of each other. He claimed this approach will keep power consumption down by shortening the distance between different parts of a chip. Keller said that using nanowires and stacking his team had mapped a path to packing transistors 50 times more densely than possible with Intel's 10 nanometer generation of technology.

'Cutting-edge': the project that could replace NAPLAN. They would also be adaptive, which means the questions would get harder or easier based on the child's skills. This would give a more accurate, fine-grained picture of how well the child has mastered the skills within that learning progression.

In the five days before election night, Professor Bela Stantic analysed 2 million social media comments, from more than half a million unique accounts, relating to 50 key terms, and predicted that Scott Morrison would win. The director of Griffith University's Big Data and Smart Analytics lab has a track record. In 2016, he tipped Donald Trump to take the United States' presidency, and in doing so accurately forecast how all but one state voted. He also foresaw the United Kingdom's departure from the European Union coming that same year.

An image of the moment the researcher whose algorithm helped reconstruct the first ever image of a black hole has swiftly made its way around the internet. Scientist Katie Bouman, 29, was snapped at the moment she first saw the fruits of her – and plenty of others around the world's – labour coming to fruition.

Adelaide’s mission to become a “Space City” will have a boost today from an announcement that it will be the home of smart satellites. Alongside Space HQ — the Australian Space Agency — and the promised Mission Control and Space Discovery Centre, Adelaide will be the strategic and decision-making base of a SmartSat co-operative research centre (CRC)

Microsoft hasn't lost site of the consumer market entirely with HoloLens. It had Tim Sweeney — CEO of Fortnite maker Epic Games — onstage gushing about the potential of HoloLens and what it could do for gaming as a medium in the future and announced that Unreal Engine 4 support was coming. While HoloLens 2 might be for businesses, HoloLens 3 could potentially be for everyone.
