</ul></div>Rometty was planning to give a talk at the World Economic Forum in Davos to introduce foundational principles around deploying artificial intelligence technologies. <br /><br />
She's not alone. MIT, Harvard, and LinkedIn's Reid Hoffman, among others, <a href="http://www.zdnet.com/article/mit-harvard-tech-industry-luminaries-team-up-on-fund-for-ethical-ai/" target="_blank">joined together</a> for a <a href="http://www.zdnet.com/article/linkedins-reid-hoffman-omidyar-network-back-fund-to-study-ais-societal-impact/" target="_blank">$27 million fund to ponder the implications of AI</a>. The Obama Administration recently issued a report on <a href="http://www.zdnet.com/article/white-house-ai-report-calls-for-aggressive-policies-to-help-workers/" target="_blank">AI's impact on jobs</a>, and entities <a href="http://www.zdnet.com/article/carnegie-mellon-to-open-research-center-focused-on-ai-ethics/" target="_blank">such as Carnegie Mellon</a>, <a href="http://www.zdnet.com/article/amazon-google-facebook-ibm-and-microsoft-form-ai-non-profit/" target="_blank">a non-profit backed by tech giants</a>, and <a href="http://www.zdnet.com/article/ieee-publishes-draft-report-on-ethically-aligned-ai-design/" target="_blank">IEEE have also sounded off</a>. <br /><br />
As for Rometty's talk, the aim was to steer a discussion on responsible AI deployment. In her talk, Rometty noted in prepared remarks:<br /><br />
<blockquote>Commonly referred to as artificial intelligence, this new generation of technology and the cognitive systems it helps power will soon touch every facet of work and life -- with the potential to radically transform them for the better...As with every prior world-changing technology, this technology carries major implications. Many of the questions it raises are unanswerable today and will require time, research, and open discussion to answer.</blockquote>In the meantime, Rometty laid out three core principles including:<br /><br />
<ul><li><strong>Purpose. </strong>IBM said that its AI systems will revolve around augmenting human intelligence. AI won't replace humans anytime soon, said Rometty. "Our technology, products, services, and policies will be designed to enhance and extend human capability, expertise, and potential. Our position is based not only on principle but also on science," she said. "Cognitive systems will not realistically attain consciousness or independent agency."</li>
<li><strong>Transparency.</strong> IBM said it will detail when and for what purposes its AI will be developed and deployed. In addition, data used to train AI will be transparent and encourage customers to protect their data while adopting similar practices.</li>
<li><strong>Skills.</strong> IBM said that AI deployments need to consider the human side of the equation and help workers and citizens acquire skills needed to use new services.</li>
</ul>Rometty's principles are broad, yet may prove difficult to follow. IBM can be transparent about its AI training and data use, but the broader industry as well as companies and governments may not. Nevertheless, the AI discussion is going to have to continue because nailing down real answers may take awhile.</div></article></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Gardenia C.

Despite Microsoft Office's evolution toward menu-driven shortcuts, it's worth remembering those funky Fn keys still serve a purpose. As part of key combos in Word, Excel, and Outlook, they make it easier and faster to perform commonly used commands. Here are 15 of the most essential function-key strokes. Once you get the hang of two-fisted input using the mouse and keyboard shortcuts, you'll find yourself shaving hours off your projects. Universal keystrokes 1. Help F1 is the Help key in almost every software program available, including all the Microsoft products. Ctrl+F1 displays or hides the ribbon menu bar in Word and Excel. 2. GoTo F5 is the GoTo key in both Word and Excel. Excel displays a dialog box prompting for a cell reference such as B55 or G12. Word's dialog box prompts for 13 different locations, including the page, section, line, table and graphic. 3. Toggle between documents Ctrl+F6 toggles between multiple Word documents when you have more than one open, or between worksheets when you have more than one Excel file open. 4. Spell Check F7 opens the Spell Check dialog box in Excel, Word, and Outlook. 5. Save Shift-F12 saves the current document, spreadsheet, or whatever task is currently open in Outlook (email, contact, task, etc.). F12 opens the Save As dialog box in Excel, Word, and Outlook, then prompts for a new filename. Word 6. Change Case Shift-F3 toggles the case of the selected text (in Outlook as well), rotating from sentence case to uppercase to lowercase and so on. Just highlight the text you want to format and continue to press Shift-F3 until the case you want appears. No more deleting text when you accidentally press the Shift key in the middle of a word or forget the Caps Lock key is turned on. 7. Repeat last action F4 repeats the last action you performed. For example, create a text box, insert a graphic, or draw a line, then press F4 and the action is duplicated. 8. Thesaurus Shift-F7 opens the Thesaurus dialog and suggests synonyms for the selected word. 9. Disable hyperlinks Hyperlinks can be deactivated one at a time through the right-click menu. But removing dozens of hyperlinks from a document using this method takes time. Ctrl+Shift-F9 also disables one active hyperlink when it's selected. But to disable all active hyperlinks in a document, first press Ctrl+A to select the entire document or email, then press Ctrl+Shift-F9. Excel 10. Edit a cell F2 edits the active cell (text and formulas)--a quick and easy way to manage formulas. - See more at: http://www.itnews.com/collaboration/87649/15-function-key-strokes-everyone-should-know-zip-around-microsoft-office?phint=newt%3Ditnews_daily&phint=idg_eid%3D66d30dc96b408cf9b5fe342badc4cd1b#tk.ITNEWSNLE_nlt_itndaily_2015-01-15<br /><br />
