Deep learning models are large and complex, so instead of writing out every function from the ground up, programmers rely on frameworks and software libraries to build neural networks efficiently. The top deep learning frameworks provide highly optimized, GPU-enabled code that are specific to deep neural network computations.

Are you talking to a real person online or a bot? In California, bots will need to identify themselves thanks to a new bill just signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown. The measure bans automated accounts from pretending to be real people in order to ‘incentivize a purchase or sale of goods or services in a commercial transaction or to influence a vote in an election,’ effective July 1, 2019.

Deepfakes, ultrarealistic fake videos manipulated using machine learning, are getting pretty convincing. And researchers continue to develop new methods to create these types of videos, for better or, more likely, for worse. The most recent method comes from researchers at Carnegie Mellon University, who have figured out a way to automatically transfer the “style” of one person to another.
