Robust Physical-World Attacks on Machine Learning Models

https://arxiv.org/abs/1707.08945

this appears corrupted to my connection, but appears to be a physical alteration to road signs to fool auto vehicle ML systems

Does your machine mind? Ethics and potential bias in the law of algorithms

"At the event Christina Blacklaws (incoming vice president of the Law Society and director of innovation at Cripps) called for leglisation to govern AI. See https://www.lawgazette.co.uk/law/call-for-legislation-to-govern-ai/5061524.article

This could be overly restrictive to the successful development of AI – see http://digitalbusiness.law/2017/02/do-we-need-robot-law/. Whilst appropriate legislative developments may be needed where there are real existing barriers to AI adoption (potentially, the Text and Data Mining Exemption for copyright materials may need review) or where there is a real need to manage and control the implementataion or use of AI, there is little need for a new regulatory regime specifically for AI. Some existing laws may need tweaking and modification and there may be a need for some new laws in specific circumstances (e.g. driverless cars) but not a whole new legal framework."
