Séance #10 – Les algorithmes d’intelligence artificiels : des effets insidieux!

L’intelligence artificielle (IA) a connu une importance impressionnante au cours des dernières années. Cette technologie prend maintenant plusieurs formes, comme celle d’un agent communicationnel ainsi que d’un robot numérique, ce qui présente des conséquences majeures sur le plan social.

Ces deux formes d’IA ont un impact sur les emplois, puisque leur efficacité, rapidité et capacité à interagir avec l’être humain, pourrait leur permettre de remplacer un grand nombre d’employés dans divers secteurs. Par exemple, dans le domaine de la santé, de la vente, de l’administration et de l’éducation, cette technologie pourrait nuire au recrutement de nouveaux travailleurs, limitant ainsi les opportunités d'emploi. (Lahaye, 2021, paragr.1)

Les algorithmes d’IA présentent aussi des biais de nature éthique. Notamment, les agents communicationnels et les robots numériques contribuent à la présence de discrimination entre les genres, à la difficulté de vérification et de validation de résultats/informations, au manque de spécificité dans ses résultats et bien plus (Devillers, 2019, p.240). De plus, puisque les algorithmes sont présents dans une multitude de plateformes, d’applications et de sites Internet, il devient difficile de les éviter, ce qui crée un enjeu de nature éthique. Cela dit, nous ne sommes plus les seuls à avoir accès à notre propre vie privée, étant donné que l’IA fait son apparition dans toutes les sphères économique, en passant des moteurs de recherche sur Internet (Google) aux déplacements à l’aide une application spécialisée (Waze). (Balagué, 2018, paragr.1).

Avec la création des agents communicationnels et des robots numériques, les interactions entre les êtres humains changeront drastiquement. Par exemple, les enfants sont des êtres vulnérables capables de créer des liens avec des objets inanimés. Ils peuvent donc facilement interagir et créer des liens d’attachement avec une technologie qui est en mesure de communiquer avec eux, ce qui pourrait entraîner une modification de leurs comportements dans l'environnement social (Devillers, Adda, Chatila, Martin, Zolynski, Villata, 2021, p.12). Qui sait quels sont les impacts nocifs que peuvent avoir une telle technologie sur le cerveau d’un enfant encore en développement!

Bref, les agents conversationnels et les robots sociaux ont le potentiel de modifier la manière dont nous vivons actuellement. Un tel avancement technologique nous pousse toutefois à réfléchir de l’utilisation dont nous voulons en faire, dans le but d’éviter qu’elle ait des impact désavantageux sur l’être humain.

Attacking machine learning training by re-ordering data

We have increasingly outsourced our decision-making to machine learning models (“the algorithm”). The whole point of building recommendation, sorting, and “decision support” systems on ML is to undertake assessments at superhuman speed and scale, which means that the idea of a “human in the loop” who validates machine judgment is a mere figleaf, and it only gets worse from here.

There are real consequences to this. I mean, for starters, if you get killed by a US military drone, chances are the shot was called by a machine-learning model:

https://abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines/2014/05/ex-nsa-chief-we-kill-people-based-on-metadata

From policing to hiring to housing to lending, from social media promotion to what song you hear next on a streaming service, ML models supplant human judgment, backed by the promise of unbiased, mathematical choices. Humans may be racist, but algorithms can’t be, right?

https://www.mediamatters.org/daily-wire/what-daily-wire-gets-wrong-and-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-gets-right-about-algorithms-and

Wrong. I mean, super wrong. The problem isn’t merely that using biased data to train an algorithm automates the bias and repeats it at scale. The problem is also that machine-learning is a form of “empiricism-washing.” A police chief who orders officers to throw any Black person they see up against a wall and go through their pockets would be embroiled in a racism scandal. But if the chief buys a predictive policing tool that gives the same directive, it’s just math, and “math doesn’t lie”:

https://pluralistic.net/2021/08/19/failure-cascades/#dirty-data

Thus far, algorithmic fairness audits have focused on training data. Garbage In, Garbage Out: biased training produces a biased model.

https://memex.craphound.com/2018/05/29/garbage-in-garbage-out-machine-learning-has-not-repealed-the-iron-law-of-computer-science/

But a burgeoning research field based on adversarial attacks on training data shows that we need to go beyond checking training data for bias. In April, a team from MIT, Berkeley, and IAS published a paper on inserting undetectable backdoors into machine learning models by subtly poisoning the training data:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/04/20/ceci-nest-pas-un-helicopter/#im-a-back-door-man

The attack calls into question whether it’s possible to verify that an algorithm whose training you outsource to a third party can ever be validated. The bank that hires a company to ingest its lending data and produce a risk model can’t prove that the model is sound. It may be that imperceptibly subtle changes to a lending application would cause it to be approved 100% of the time.

In part, the fiendish intractability of this attack stems from the difficulty of validating a random number generator. This is a famously hard problem. It the subject of Godel’s life-work, and it was how the NSA compromised an encryption standard:

https://www.wired.com/2013/09/nsa-backdoor/

Now, “Manipulating SGD with Data Ordering Attacks,” a paper from researchers at the University of Toronto, Cambridge, and the University of Edinburgh shows that validating a model is even harder than it we thought:

https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.09667

In a summary of the paper on Cambridge’s security research blog, the researchers explain that even if you start with unbiased — that is, broadly representative — data, the order in which you present that data to a machine-learning model can induce bias:

https://www.lightbluetouchpaper.org/2021/04/23/data-ordering-attacks/

That’s because ML models are susceptible to “initialization bias” — whatever data they see first has a profound impact on the overall weighting of subsequent data. Here’s an example from the researchers’ blog:

[A]ssemble a set of financial data that was representative of the whole population, but start the model’s training on ten rich men and ten poor women drawn from that set — then let initialisation bias do the rest of the work.

As they say, the bias doesn’t have to be this obvious: subtle nonrandomness in the data ordering can poison the model. And as we’ve seen, validating random-number generators is really hard. That opens up the twin possibilities of malicious model-poisoning to introduce bias, and of inadvertent bias in a model because of bias — not in the data, but in the data-order.

This suggests that auditing a model for bias is much harder than we thought. Not only must you confirm that a model is free from bias, but also free from biased ordering. This is not something that regulators have really come to grips with — for example, the EU’s AI’s regs contemplate examining data, but not data-order:

https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/european-approach-artificial-intelligence

Even if we do decide to include data-order in AI audits, how can we validate the order after the fact? There are ways to look at a piece of data and figure out whether it was used to train a model — but as far as I know, there’s no way to start with a model and work backwards to find out its training order.

That means that if a regulator suspects that a model was deliberately tampered with, they will likely have to take the prime suspect’s word for it when seeking to determine what the training-data’s order.

Yikes.

Ce qu'il a donné Un an, deux ans, cent ans de bonheur Puis la vie te cueille comme une fleur || GW

☾♔; March 5, 2018 ☾♔; sotd: Котик by Alexander Rybak   ☾♔; comedian otd: JOHN OLIVER   ☾♔; GW To do list ☾♔; {G} https://goo.gl/XSTtMc ☾♔; mod(s): @themadmonarchist @maybones et moi

Title: lyrics from "Requiem" by Alma

--featured not-mine oc's - Eloise Avery | @themadmonarchist - Minah Delacroix | @maybones (see what I did there with the Serena and Blair positioning? -eyebrow wriggle thing-)

- - - x - - -

Updated GW to-do list: - Division of labour (we should really start saying when one of us starts working on something because otherwise we'll end up with redundancies since we think disturbingly alike) - the "chuck" problem: okay, tbh, it's more of an Ed Westwick problem than a chuck one. I don't know how you guys have reacted to the me too and time's up movements, but mine has been to cut all those men out of my sphere of entertainment, I even cut out "witch hunt", "not all men" type dudes, and "only fondled their breasts on tv and apologized for it" men (aka Ben Affleck), because time is up for all of you! Soz, not point, but since last October, Ed Westwick has been caught up in this, and thus far 3 women have accused him of ra.pe and a fourth of sexual misconduct. Now, I know it's not Chuck's fault that his portrayer is a ra.pist (allegedly), but there is still an issue with including his face, etc in aesthetics and gossip girl material because his face is that of a ra.pist's (allegedly). Tbh, I wanna leave him (Ed Westwick) out of material and only discuss Chuck and avoid showing his face or use a dreamcast instead, but like, I dunno what you guys wanna do. Chuck is a great character, although, early on, he was quite rap.ey, the character, and it does not help that his portrayer has since been revealed to be a ra.pist. Allegedly.

- also, going back up to the redundancy issues, I love both of your aesthetic collections and playlists, so for those, I was thinking for playlist, we should make one big playlist on spotify that's collaborative, so that everyone can add their music and it'll kind of be a huge explosion of musical tastes. But also, maybe have a collection that has a link on the group info for individual playlists for characters, and the group made by us and/or others. For aesthetic collections, basically the same idea with one big collaborative collection, and then that collection will have links to other collections (yes, I'm a little ocd).

- also, also, this is completely unrelated, but I was watching trevor noah's show and he made a joke about how much trump's male employees snitch and gossip like sht, but the woman haven't revealed squat. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpmlVWFTW8A) It's really funny, and honestly, stupid people fcking up in trump's circle very publically is basically what's keeping me alive. It's just hilarious how stupid some of these people are. ___________________________ Another Update (I'll leave those up until @maybones weighs in on them)

I was working on a draft of the group description to show you guys, and I was using a template of one of my old groups and rewriting stuff and changing it to suit our purposes and I realized how many freaking rules I have (I'm so picky), anyway, some of this stuff obvs won't be applicable (like, there's one about characters dying and I don't think we were planning on going that dark. although, serena was an accessory and chuck kind of killed his dad, so meh, maybe?) anyway, I wanted your opinions on what rules to keep and/or change:

✠ RULES AND GUIDELINES {GENERAL} ✠

I. Please be kind to each other. Your characters can be total jerks, but let us, the creators and/or writers be kind, polite, and respectful (aka, channel your inner Canadian guys). There will be absolutely ZERO tolerance of discrimination. You will be immediately removed from the group, and your actions will be documented and reported. PM me immediately if someone harasses you or you notice harassment between members. ⠀⠀Ia. If you want to be anonymous, for any reason, you can send in your complaints here {https://goo.gl/kbTXeU}, it's a google form, and it doesn't ask you verify your email, and the username option, is just an option, it's not required. If I need to make further contact/information from you regarding your concern, I'll make a group announcement vaguely describing your issue, and you can send in further information anonymously again. I'll be checking the form at least once a week.  

⠀II. I'm not giving this any specific rating, however, I will say, you're free to include whatever "adult" content you want, whether it be swears, gore, or the dirty stuff (I'm totally a mature, grown up adult guys). However, do be careful of polyvore's stupid censors, use workarounds like writing your story in google docs, or accents for swear words.  

⠀III. This is a non-elimination group,  but characters can die. It may be used for inactive members, or if you wanna kill 'em off or maybe revive as a ghost or something else. Permission will always be asked of the creator first (with the exception of characters belonging to inactive members, whose characters may be killed off as penalty).  

⠀IV. If you miss 3 consecutive contests (without informing me), you'll receive an "x", "|" will be used to break up non-consecutively missed contests, anyway, if you miss 3 in a row, that will open your character to be killed by either myself or other group members. You will be notified, but your permission will not be asked. If you wish to rejoin at a later date, and you character has not been killed off, simply pm me and continue with whatever contest is in progress. If your character has been killed off, you can re-audition with a new one, and I will transfer your points to your new character.

⠀V. Always pm me, your vodka aunt mod, if you feel you'll be unable to enter a contest, your reason doesn't matter. Just let me know you can't get your entry in, that way you won't receive an "X".

⠀VI. Plotting will be left open throughout the group, however, please establish a few of these before contests begin, and always ask permission when using someone else's character(s) and be sure to tag them in your sets. Please, PLEASE work with others, I hate when people just do their own thing in oc battle groups, this is a collaborative story, everyone's stories and ideas matter. I will call you out if I notice something that contradicts the connected story, and I will always, ALWAYS incorporate the stories of group members into the overall narrative. ⠀⠀VIa. Narrative precedence will always be given to the person who completely finishes the description of their set first.

⠀VII. There is not a list of roles to pick from, you can create whatever roles you want, however, I may ask you to change it if I feel your character may become "villager number 6" and not fit in with the action. Rules, regulations, and suggestions for roles can be found here: [placeholder].

⠀VIII. Always be sure to tag the member's when you use their characters and give credit where credit is due.

⠀IX. Plagiarism will not be tolerated and you will be removed and reported. If you're inspired by someone else's work, credit them, otherwise you're stealing.

⠀X. Sets unrelated to the group will be removed.

⠀XI. You will NOT be required to write out a full story. Story portions can be answered in paragraphs, but full stories are always welcome and appreciated.  

⠀XII. Do not use templates for contest entries unless otherwise stated.

⠀XIII. Always feel free to contact me with any and all questions, and/or suggestions. You can also send them through the anonymous complaints form, found here: https://goo.gl/kbTXeU

✠ RULES AND REGULATIONS {FACECLAIMS} ✠

I'm quite picky about these, but I'm not gonna be pedantic about it this time. You do you. Having said that, there are still some rules and regulations, as well as a challenge.

⠀I. All faceclaims must be above the age of majority (that's 18+ nearly universally on the planet), there is an exception for child characters but all main OCs must be at least 18.

⠀II. All faceclaims MUST be professionals. They can be actors, models, even singers. However, they must be singers of some note signed onto a label company, like Taylor Swift, or my beloved Dima Bilan (who's also an actor. a good one. yes, I'm bragging). Your faceclaim CANNOT be someone insta-famous, youtubers, or tumblr tweens.

⠀III. Whilst I'm not going to reject any faceclaim on the pedantic basis of "I don't like them", there are some faceclaims that I will and for one reason, and one reason only. Sexual misconduct of any and all kinds. Hollywood and the media are finally cleaning house, and I don't want those dicks in my nerd sht either. To be clear, I don't care whether the misconduct was simply groping a woman's breasts on camera and apologizing about 10 years later, I am going to reject everyone who's been accused. Examples include; Ben Affleck, Casey Affleck, Ed Westwick, Jeffrey Tambor, Danny Masterson, Andy Dick, Dustin Hoffman, and fcking Mel Gibson. (Side note, these are just actors, for a wider list of men who have fallen since the Harvey Weinstein story broke in October 2017, I recommend you check out this article {https://goo.gl/Uq65Qv} by the NY Times) ⠀⠀IIIa. If you notice I have accepted someone who has been accused of sexual misconduct/harassment/assault please inform me right away, and ideally with a link to a news source from where you learned about (I will google it myself, but the ready-to-go link would be much appreciated.) ⠀⠀IIIb. Also, Alec Baldwin is on my list of rejected faceclaims. He's not been accused of anything, yet, but I'm not liking his defensive attitude of alleged rapists. Fúck off. Matt Damon also falls under subsection B, for a slightly different reason, but fúck him too. In this watershed moment, I have no time for defensive d i c k s and "not all men" a s s h o l e s.

⠀IV. The Challenge: a lot of us have certain fave fc's we use over and over again (I'm certainly guilty of that), so my challenge is for you to use a faceclaim you have never used before as your primary oc. This is gonna be based on the honour system, some of you guys I may know well, so I'll know if you're using your fave again, but others I may not, and I can't aggressively stalk everyone, so I won't call out anyone for not doing it. It's just a fun little challenge, worth 10 bonus points, if you opt to do it. But again, it's based on the honour system, I'm not gonna stalk anyone, but if I know you and you lie to me on the audition form. First, I'll be hurt, and second, I'll say sorry and tell you you're not getting those bonus points.

(I know, two sets of rules makes me such a di.ck, it's why I need your help guys!)

17-05-2020 Current affairs & Daily News Analysis

Govt launches online dashboard to monitor info on movement of migrants: MHA National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has developed ‘National Migrant Information System (NMIS)’, a central online repository on Migrant Workers to facilitate their seamless movement across States.

About: The online portal would maintain a central repository on migrant workers and help in speedy inter-State communication/co-ordination to facilitate their smooth movement to native places. It has additional advantages like contact tracing, which may be useful in overall COVID-19 response work. The key data pertaining to the persons migrating has been standardized for uploading such as name, age, mobile no., originating and destination district, date of travel etc., which States are already collecting. States will be able to visualize how many people are going out from where and how many are reaching destination States.  Source : Times of India ( Social Issues ) Read UPSC Current affairs and Daily News Analysis from Best IAS Academy in Bangalore Vignan IAS Academy WORLD TELECOMMUNICATION AND INFORMATION SOCIETY DAY (WTISD) World Telecommunication and Information Society Day 2020 is being observed on 17 May with the theme “Connect 2030: ICTs for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).”

About: Objective of WTISD: To help raise awareness of the possibilities that the use of the Internet and other information and communication technologies (ICT) can bring to societies and economies. Date of observance: It has been celebrated annually on 17 May since 1969, marking the founding of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and the signing of the first International Telegraph Convention in 1865.  Important Info : International Telecommunications Union (ITU)? Relationship with UN: ITU is a specialized agency of the United Nations (UN). It is a member of the United Nations Development Group (UNDP).Mandate: It is responsible for issues that concern information and communication technologies.Established in: 1865. Based in: Geneva, Switzerland.Membership: It has membership of 193 countries and nearly 800 private sector entities and academic institutions.India and ITU: India has been an active member of the ITU since 1869 and has been a regular member of the ITU Council since 1952. In November 2018, India was elected as a Member of the ITU Council for another 4-year term (2019-2022).

About: Iron-Manganese based alloy Fe-Mn (having Mn composition of more than 29% by weight) is a promising biodegradable metallic implant which exhibits single austenitic phase (non-magnetic form of iron) with MRI compatibility. The alloy also showed a degradation rate in the range of 0.14-0.026 mm per year in the simulated body fluid, which means that the Fe-Mn alloy exhibits mechanical integrity for 3-6 months and completely disappears from the body in 12-24 months. The newly developed Fe-Mn based alloys are suitable for biodegradable stent and orthopedic implant applications.  Important Info : Significance: These Biodegradable materials (Fe, Mg, Zn, and polymer) can participate in the healing process and then degrade gradually by maintaining the mechanical integrity without leaving any implant residues in the human body.These are better alternatives to currently used metallic implants which remain permanently in the human body and can cause long-term side effects like systemic toxicity, chronic inflammation, and thrombosis.  Source : All India Radio ( Science & Technology ) Read UPSC Current affairs and Daily News Analysis from Best IAS Academy in Bangalore Vignan IAS Academy Third tranche of ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan’: Agriculture sector gets ₹1.5-lakh-cr booster

Measures to strengthen Infrastructure Logistics and Capacity Building for Agriculture & Allied Sectors: Financing facility of Rs. One Lakh crore will be provided for funding Agriculture Infrastructure Projects at farm-gate & aggregation points. It will be financed and managed by the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD). A Rs. 10,000 crore scheme will be launched for Formalisation of Micro Food Enterprises (MFE). It will help 2 lakh MFEs who need technical upgradation to attain FSSAI food standards, build brands and marketing. The Government will launch the Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana (PMMSY) with an outlay of Rs 20,000 crore for marine and inland fisheries. An Animal Husbandry Infrastructure Development Fund of Rs. 15,000 crore will be set up to support private investment in Dairy Processing, value addition and cattle feed infrastructure. The National Medicinal Plants Board (NMPB) will cover 10,00,000 hectare under Herbal cultivation in next two years with outlay of Rs. 4,000 crore. Beekeeping initiatives (worth Rs 500 crore): Government will implement a scheme for Infrastructure development related to Integrated Beekeeping Development Centres, Collection, Marketing and Storage Centres, Post-Harvest & value Addition facilities etc; and Implementation of standards & Developing traceability system. “Operation Greens” run by Ministry of Food Processing Industries (MOFPI) will be extended from Tomatoes, onion and potatoes (TOP) crops to ALL fruit and vegetables.  Important Info : Measures for Governance and Administrative Reforms for Agriculture Sector: Government will amend Essential Commodities Act, 1955 to deregulate Agriculture food stuffs including cereals, edible oils, oilseeds, pulses, onions and potato. Stock limit will be imposed under very exceptional circumstances.A Central law will be formulated for Agriculture Marketing Reforms to provide adequate choices to the farmer to sell their produce at remunerative price; barrier free Inter-State Trade; and a framework for e-trading of agriculture produce.The Government will finalise a facilitative legal framework to enable farmers to engage with processors, aggregators, large retailers, exporters etc. in a transparent manner.

About: The proposed model of Tour of Duty (ToD) has been proposed to be implemented on a trial basis for officers and other ranks in the army for a limited number of vacancies which would be increased later if the model is successful. The proposal is a shift from the concept of permanent service in the armed forces towards an “internship” for 3 years. The army is also examining giving a ‘token’ lump sum amount to officers and jawans exiting from the ToD scheme, to make it more attractive.  Important Info : Expected benefits: Army will benefit by getting younger manpower and the society will benefit by getting people who are disciplined and have imbibed the ethos of the army.The cost, including training, pay and allowances, incurred on people joining under the new model would be Rs 80-85 lakhs, as compared to over Rs 6 crore for an officer under the Short Service Commission, who serve up to 14 years.With the ToD concept implementation, there is likely to be an exponential reduction in salary and pension budgets. These savings can be used for Army’s modernisation.Corporates can also benefit from individuals who would serve in the army for three years due to their training and exposure. As per an initial survey, corporates favour individuals aged 26 or 27 who have been trained by the military.  Source : Economic Times ( Defence & Security ) Read UPSC Current affairs and Daily News Analysis from Best IAS Academy in Bangalore Vignan IAS Academy 61st CAVALRY The Indian Army is planning to convert its famous 61st Cavalry, the only active serving horse cavalry regiment in the world, into a regular armoured regiment with tanks. About: The 61st Cavalry was raised in 1953 after amalgamating the horse-mounted cavalry units of the erstwhile princely states of British India. The Teen Murti Memorial in New Delhi was constructed during the British Raj to commemorate the heroic role played by the Hyderabad, Jodhpur and Mysore Lancers during the legendary Battle of Haifa (now in modern-day Israel) in 1918 during World War I. The Indian Army celebrates “Haifa Day” on September 23 every year as part of its overall tradition to honour the valour of its regiments. At present, the ceremonial President’s Bodyguard (PBG) based at Rashtrapati Bhavan and the 61st Cavalry are the only horse-mounted units in the Army.  Important Info : Proposed Plan: The aim is to transform the Jaipur-based 61st Cavalry into “a combat force” from its present role of being “largely a ceremonial unit” that also engages in sporting activities like polo.The commanding officer (CO) of 61st Calvary, which is likely to be rechristened the 61st Armoured Regiment at Jaipur, will have three “independent squadrons” of tanks under him.It has sparked outrage among purists in military circles, who assert the “short-sighted step will destroy a glorious historical tradition”.  Source : Times of India ( Defecne & Security ) Read UPSC Current affairs and Daily News Analysis from Best IAS Academy in Bangalore Vignan IAS Academy Short Service Commission to be made more attractive Chief of the Defence Staff General Bipin Rawat said that efforts are on to make the Short Service Commission (SSC) more attractive so as to reduce the mounting pension burden of the Army.

About: Short Service commission (SSC) in Indian Army is the tenure of officers. Currently, the SSC is for 10 years, which can be extended by up to four years. At the end of 14 years, there is an option for permanent commission (PC). The training academy for SSC Short Service commission officers is Officers Training Academy (OTA), Chennai. Proposed steps to make SSC more attractive: A one-year training course will be given to SSC officers while exiting after 14 years. The courses can be professional or technical courses such as MBA or M.Tech. to give the skills for a second employment as a civilian. About 25%-30% of the SSC officers would be granted Permanent Commission (PC) so that they are kept motivated and they compete to get PC. The rest can leave. Other incentives include a lumpsum amount and medical facilities under the Ex-servicemen Contributory Health Scheme.  Important Info : Pension burden of army? The Army’s pay and pension bill has been increasing over the years, accounting for 60% of its budgetary allocation.During the last five years, though the growth in the defence budget has been 68% and the growth in salaries 75%, the pensions have increased by a staggering 146%.  Source : The Hindu ( Defence & Security ) Read UPSC Current affairs and Daily News Analysis from Best IAS Academy in Bangalore Vignan IAS Academy SUPER-EARTH Scientists from the University of Canterbury (UC) have discovered a rare new Super-Earth planet that lies towards the centre of the galaxy, also called the Galactic Bulge.

About: The planet is one of ‘only a handful of extra-solar planets that have been discovered with both size and orbit comparable to that of Earth. The host star is 10 percent the mass of our Sun and that the planet has a year of approximately 617 days. The planet has a mass somewhere between that of Earth and Neptune. It orbits at a location between Venus and Earth from the parent star. The planet was discovered using a technique called ‘Gravitational Microlensing’ where the combined gravity of the planet and its host star causes light from a more distant background star to be magnified in a particular manner.  Important Info : Super Earth? What is it? It is an extrasolar planet with a mass higher than Earth's, but substantially below the masses of the Solar System's ice giants, Uranus and Neptune.What is it not? This term refers only to the mass of the planet, and does not imply anything about the habitability or surface conditions.

Previous cases: The previous most famous case of coronavirus infection among cats, big or domestic, has been that of four-year-old Nadia, a Malayan tiger at New York’s Bronx Zoo. She tested positive in April 2020. Within weeks, a few more tigers and lions at the zoo tested positive. Among domestic cats, the first known infection happened in Belgium. Recent research: The key finding in recent research is that cats can be asymptomatic while carrying the virus. Also, all the cats went on to clear the virus. The latest findings suggest that cats may be capable of becoming infected when exposed to people or other cats positive for SARS-CoV-2. Other researchers have previously suggested reasons why cats may be vulnerable to infection from humans: feline and human cells have similar ACE2 receptors, which are enzymes that facilitate the coronavirus’s entry in the body. The general view remains that a cat is more likely to get Covid-19 from a human, than a human getting it from a cat.  Source : Indian Express ( Health ) Read UPSC Current affairs and Daily News Analysis from Best IAS Academy in Bangalore Vignan IAS Academy NATIONAL DENGUE DAY On the occasion of National Dengue Day (May 16), Health Ministry has listed a series of simple measures through which Dengue can be prevented.

About: Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral infection. The dengue virus (DEN) comprises four distinct serotypes (DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3 and DEN-4) which belong to the genus Flavivirus, family Flaviviridae. The Aedes aegypti mosquito is the main vector that transmits the viruses that cause dengue.  It is found in tropical and sub-tropical climates worldwide, mostly in urban and semi-urban areas. It is very common after rainy season. Once infected, humans become the main carriers and multipliers of the virus, serving as a source of the virus for uninfected mosquitoes. The infection causes flu-like illness, and occasionally develops into lethal complication called severe dengue. Dengue can affect everybody, irrespective of their age and gender.  Source : All India Radio ( Health ) Read UPSC Current affairs and Daily News Analysis from Best IAS Academy in Bangalore Vignan IAS Academy Daily Current affairs and News Analysis Best IAS Coaching institutes in Bangalore Vignan IAS Academy Contact Vignan IAS Academy Enroll For IAS Foundation Course from Best IFS Academy in Bangalore Read the full article

AI process automation is the use of computer programs to automate routine 

tasks and processes. In this type of automation, computers can be used to do things that are not possible for humans to do. The most popular form of AI process automation is predictive analytics, which allows computers to predict what will happen next in an environment, such as the stock market or a movie release schedule.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a branch of robotic process automation 

that deals with creating intelligent systems by using algorithms and machine learning techniques rather than human experts. Artificial intelligence has many different applications from medical research to self-driving cars. Artificial intelligence can be broadly categorized into artificial nervous system and artificial intelligence. Understanding the differences between them can help to optimize the performance of AI technology.

Automation Will Overtake Human Workers in the World in 2018

In 2018, we will see more robots in the workplace. Robotic process automation will be used to replace human workers.

The robots are coming. In the near future, robots will replace human workers on a large scale.

The robot factory in Japan is the world’s largest manufacturer of industrial robots

 It has reportedly invested a total of $1.2 billion in developing and producing these robots since 2005. The robot factory is expected to employ 1 million people by 2030, according to some estimates. The robot factory is also aiming to develop more advanced and intelligent industrial robots that can work alongside humans at a higher level of precision and efficiency than ever before.

A number of companies have been developing and selling robots for the last few decades. The robots are now capable of performing a wide range of tasks such as cleaning, assembly, packaging etc. These robots are also becoming more and more intelligent and can be programmed to perform specific tasks autonomously.

Florida Public Adjuster: How to Get Your 3-20 Public Adjuster License in Florida

If you want to work as a public adjuster in Florida, you should be aware that the procedure and continuing education standards are different from those for independent claims adjusters. Read on to learn how to obtain your public adjuster license, how it differs from the previous method, and what you need to know about Florida public adjuster continuing education.

If you're not sure which FL adjuster license you'll need, read our article on Decoding Florida's Adjuster License Types.

The Florida Department of Financial Services made several updates in 2018 to make the 3-20 Florida Public Adjuster License application process easier.

The Traditional Approach

The most significant move is the elimination of the 31-20 Public Adjuster Apprentice License. Obtaining the 31-20 apprentice license was formerly the first step toward obtaining a full PA license. That isn't the case now. We've included the step-by-step guidelines for public adjuster licenses Until the rules updated as a refresher.

1. Pass the state test and the 31-20 public adjuster course (or approved designation course, such as All-Lines Certified Adjuster Designation).

2. You must have a $50,000 surety bond before filing for your certificate and during the apprenticeship period.

3. Upload your fingerprints and apply for the 31-20 Public Adjuster Apprentice license.

4. You must be named by a licensed public adjuster or public adjusting company and work with them for a period of 12 months after receiving the 31-20 license.

5. After finishing your apprenticeship, you must take and pass the Pearson Vue 3-20 Public Adjuster test.

6. Obtain a $50,000 surety bond to fund the duration of the license.

7. Submit an application for a Florida 3-20 Public Adjuster License.

The New Approach (As Of January 1, 2018)

Before we go over the step-by-step steps, let's have a peek through some of the latest system's benefits.

All aspiring adjusters – workers, independent, and public – must first obtain the 6-20 Resident Adjuster License under the new system. This gives you a lot of career versatility so you won't have to retake the test or get a new credential if you change your mind on what kind of adjuster you want to be or are given a job in a different industry. Another significant benefit is that the state has reduced the apprenticeship cycle by six months! As a result, you'll be able to obtain your 3-20 license in about half the time it used to take.

Let's get started with the steps!

1. Pass the 6-20 state exam or an accredited alternative course, such as ours. Our Certified Adjuster Designation meets all of the criteria for obtaining the 6-20 license from the Florida Department of Financial Services, including the test prerequisite.

2. File an application for the 6-20 Resident Adjuster License, which includes fingerprinting.

3. It's important to remember that you can act as an independent or personnel adjuster if you get this license. Continue with the measures below to obtain your public adjuster license.

4. You must be appointed by a public adjuster or public adjusting company and apprentice under them for 6 months after receiving your 6-20 certificate. (Holding a self-appointed independent adjuster or a company-appointed personnel adjuster license for a period of 12 months often counts against the state's apprenticeship requirement.)

5. You would have a $50,000 surety bond for the duration of your apprenticeship.

6. After finishing your apprenticeship, you must sit for and pass the PearsonVue 3-20 Public Adjuster test.

7. You'll need a $50,000 surety bond to fund the duration of your license.

8. Submit an application for a 3-20 Florida Public Adjuster License.

To summarize, the Florida Department of Financial Services made the following big changes:

• Eliminating the 31-20 requirement in favour of a 6-20 license for all.

• Reducing the duration of the apprenticeship from 12 to 6 months (or 1 year for independent and staff adjusters).

The Florida public adjuster Webpage also has a complete list of standards from the Department of Financial Services.

Continuing Education for Public Adjusters in Florida

In order to earn continued education credits, public adjusters in Florida must complete 24 hours of continuing education classes. Independent adjuster courses do not follow the state's public adjuster CE standards, but double-check the public adjuster requirements until buying.

AdjusterPro provides three state-approved continued education classes for public adjusters.

• Ethics: Why Doing the Right Thing Pays

• Statutes & Law: Legal Terminology in Plain English

• Flood Insurance: Keeping Your Head Above Water in a Sea of Regulations

• Xactimate Tactical Training (12 hours of public adjuster CE)

What If I Don't Live In Florida?

The procedure is somewhat similar for non-residents. You would, though, have worked as a public adjuster in your home state for at least one year.

To get your 73-20 Nonresident All-Lines Adjuster License, follow these steps:

1. Show evidence of a public adjuster's license in the state where you live. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners must be able to verify the evidence (NAIC). You must have been certified for at least 12 months and operating consistently.

2. Obtain a $50,000 surety bond to fund the duration of the license.

3. Fill out an application for the 73-20 license, which includes submitting your fingerprints.

4. Take and pass the 3-20 Public Adjuster test with PearsonVue after receiving clearance.

The Florida Nonresident Public Adjuster Webpage also has a complete list of specifications from the Department of Financial Services.

Please email us if you have any concerns about the Florida 3-20 license or the licensing process. We're here to assist you.

Types of Insurance Adjuster Licenses in Florida

But you want to become a licensed Florida insurance claims adjuster? That's great. Florida, the country's third most populous county, has no lack of claimants, but whether you're a citizen or not, it's one of the most important licenses to get if you want to work as a claims adjuster.

If you're new to the industry, the various types of adjuster licenses available in Florida can be overwhelming. It's important to get the best one so you can get your license to start working right away. Florida used to have a lot of license classifications, but luckily, they've recently streamlined it. There are four basic adjuster license forms to be familiar with today: the 6-20, 7-20, 70-20, and 3-20. Our Florida Certified Adjuster Pre-Licensing Course meets the requirements for the 6-20, 7-20, and 70-20 adjuster licenses from the Florida Department of Financial Services. Students who successfully complete our course and pass the included test are excluded from taking the state adjuster exam and are eligible to apply for their license. It's important to remember that on your Florida application, you'll indicate which license you're applying for. This is not something that a course provider or teacher can do for you.

6-20 All-Lines Florida Public Adjuster License

Any Florida resident who wishes to work as a staff or independent adjuster must obtain this license. A salaried employee of one insurance carrier, such as Allstate or Progressive, is referred to as a "workers" or "management" adjuster. An independent adjuster may deal with a variety of Independent Adjusting Firms, each of which may be affiliated with a variety of insurance companies. If you've signed a deal with an IA Firm, you'll be able to collect and work claims from several insurers at the same time. This license is also a prerequisite for the 3-20 public adjuster license, but we'll go over it in more detail later. Bottom Line: This is the license to get if you live in Florida and want to work as an insurance adjuster. The Department of Financial Services 6-20 website has more detail about this license.

This license is for non-residents in Florida who like to handle insurance cases in Florida. Most applicants are already certified in their home state but want to be able to process claims in Florida. This all-lines license, like the 6-20, is valid for both personnel and individual adjusters. This license has the same conditions as the 6-20, but most adjusters would be able to obtain it by reciprocity.

Bottom Line: If you're a licensed adjuster in another state and want mutual licensing rights in Florida, you'll apply for this license. We do not recommend this license if you reside in a state that does not require adjusters to be licensed. (Continue reading below.) Visit the Department of Financial Services 7-20 website for more information on this license.

In 5 Easy Steps, You Can Become An Insurance Public Adjuster

Obtaining a license in your home state or designated home state is a good place to start. Check out what else you'll need to succeed in the insurance compensation market.

Nonresident Designated Home State (Dhs) License, Florida 70-20 This license is for non-residents of Florida who work in states where insurance adjusters are not required to be licensed. If your home state does not need an adjuster license, you'll need to receive one from another state and then mark it as your home state — this is known as a Designated Home State License or DHS License. If you live in Illinois, for example, you do not need a claim adjuster license to work there. However, if you want to manage claims in any state that requires licensing, or if you want to work with an IA firm and be deployed to handle catastrophe claims, you'll need a warrant. The Designated Home State (DHS) License is the industry's response to this issue. If you live in a non-licensing jurisdiction, we suggest the Florida 70-20 DHS license. Read our Florida 70-20 Blog Article to learn more about the top DHS license choices. The 70-20, like the other license forms, can be used by employees or independent adjusters and has the same privileges as a FL resident adjuster. Licensees with a DHS license can adjust claims in Florida and apply for reciprocal licenses in most other states. Bottom Line: If you reside in a non-licensing jurisdiction, we consider using the 70-20 license to designate Florida as your home state. The Department of Financial Services 70-20 website has more detail about this license.

3-20 Public Adjuster License in Florida

The 3-20 license is only available to public adjusters in Florida. Public adjusters are independent contractors who do not work for an insurance firm. Instead, these adjusters work on behalf of the applicant, hoping to get the best possible settlement from the insurance provider. Any insurance provider or private changing agency cannot employ a 3-20 licensee. The procedure to become a Public Adjuster in Florida is a little more involved than the previous licensing designations, but the first step is to receive the 6-20 license mentioned earlier in this post. To become a certified public adjuster, you must first obtain the 6-20 certificate, then study for 6 months under another public adjuster and then complete the 3-20 test.

To summarize, if you want to work as a public adjuster in Florida, you must first receive the 6-20 resident license. In our Florida Public Adjusters Blog Post, we go into how to get started with the 3-20 public adjuster license.

4-40 Customer Representative License in Florida

AdjusterPro also offers one extra Florida insurance license, which we decided to note to eliminate any misunderstanding. For Florida residents who work in insurance companies or as insurance brokers, the 4-40 Customer Representative License is required. In our Florida CIR Blog Post, you will learn more about customer reps and the 4-40 license.

The Bottom Line: AdjusterPro will assist you with any Florida insurance claims adjuster license you need. The state's standards for the 6-20, 7-20, and 70-20 license forms, as well as the first phase of the 3-20 public adjuster license, are met by our Certified Adjuster Pre-Licensing Course.

TF1 Media Lab Accelerator Program for Startups offering Solutions aimed at the Media industry

Our Innovation Department, which has been on site at the Station F innovation hub in Paris since 2018, has used TF1 Media Lab to build a fertile accelerator model: 95% of our start-ups have moved on to operational collaborations with TF1, and over half are now recurring service-providers to one or more of our businesses.

Now, for the first time, TF1 Media Lab is inviting applications from start-ups to join Season 6, our next intake at Station F, in January 2021.

We are also looking for blockchain-based solutions, for example to measure exposure and consumption of our content on online platforms.

MARKETING AND USER EXPERIENCE

We are particularly interested in technologies that can help us understand and further enhance the user experience.

We’re also very interested in technologies around Live Shopping and Social Shopping.

TECHFORGOOD
