Bench Talk

Even as machine learning spreads more broadly and penetrates more deeply into everyday life, it introduces a particularly insidious type of security threat.

Have you ever knowingly encountered a chatbot? A recent experience left me frustrated, yet smiling when I realized that “Albert, the Customer Service Agent” was really “Albert, the AI Chatbot.” Even cooler is that “Albert, the AI Chatbot” was good enough to have fooled me into thinking I was talking to a human.

Developing an artificial neural network requires both learning and operating capabilities: The Intel® Movidius™ Neural Compute Stick platform handles parallel matrix math and and includes five pre-trained neural network models in the SDK. This design allows faster and simpler access to the recognition models and, thereby, allows faster overall learning and operation.
