Generative design and the radical, skeletal new look of tomorrow
One little button in a piece of CAD software is threatening to fundamentally change the way we design, as well as what the built world looks like in the near future. Inspired by evolution, generative design produces extremely strong, efficient and lightweight shapes. And boy do they look weird.
A Neural Network Turned a Book of Flowers Into Shockingly Lovely Dinosaur Art
Chris Rodley uses a deep learning algorithm to merge a book of dinosaurs with a book of flower paintings. The results are magnificent, and deserve a spot on the walls of our finest art galleries. This isn’t the first time Rodley has dabbled with a deep learning A.I. to create art. Using a website called Deepart.io, which is powered by an algorithm developed by Leon Gatys and a team from the University of Tübingen in Germany, Rodley previously merged a Trump family photo and various Muppet characters, with nightmarish results.
Generative design software will give designers "superpowers"

The GAN Zoo A list of all named GANs! 04/19/17
Every week, new papers on Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) are coming out and it’s hard to keep track of them all, not to mention the incredibly creative ways in which researchers are naming these GANs! So, here’s the current and frequently updated list, from what started as a fun activity compiling all named GANs in this format: Name and Source Paper linked to Arxiv.

Robo-Pharmacist: This AI is Designing Structures for Futuristic Wonder DrugsRobo-Pharmacist: This AI is Designing Structures for Futuristic Wonder Drugs
A team of MIT researchers led by Alán Aspuru-Guzik developed an artificial intelligence (AI) program that could change the way pharmaceutical research is conducted. Usually, drug development research relies on simulations that attempt to identify or predict useful molecular structures based on rules written by chemists for pools of candidate molecules. This approach is often limited by human involvement, the accuracy of available simulations, and required processing power. May 5,2017

Artificial intelligence: How to avoid racist algorithms
From BBC News April 16, 2017
"...many of the algorithms that make decisions about our lives - from what we see on the internet to how likely we are to become victims or instigators of crime - are trained on data sets that do not include a diverse range of people."
Suresh Venkatasubramanian states, "...bias, or skew, in decision-making will shift from things we recognise as human prejudice to things we no longer recognise and therefore cannot detect - because we will take the decision-making for granted."
Suresh Venkatasubramanian offers a number solutions:
*better and more diverse data sets with which to train the algorithm
*sharing best practice among software vendor
*building algorithms which explain their decision making
The Algorithmic Justice League (AJL) was launched by Joy Buolamwini, a postgraduate student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, to work to end algorithmic bias.
