We teach our machines every day: Voice assistants learn how to talk to us based on what we say to them, and navigation apps guide us based on the routes we take. But what if we could teach our machines more actively? Could AI learn what's important to us? ideo.to/euNoxP

The application for these "fake images" and mathematical manipulation is an augmentation of a creators' tools. In same way Photoshop can offload work from the creator allowing them to focus on creating. These tools could allow new types of creation. -Irmak Sirer #ttidesign

Yessss! User-driven goals + personalized calibration = ML as augmentation. So much win when AI is treated like a tool instead of a product. xitter.cf/LearnWithOz/status/970…

Our most recent paper on visualizing neural networks is one of the best thing I've ever done. distill.pub/2018/building-bl… It qualitatively changes the questions we can ask. One basic example: neuron 426 fired ~= useless [floppy ear] fired = very interesting!
