w Marcus du Sautoy's The Creativity Code: How AI is learning to write, paint and think By www.wired.com Published On :: Mon, 08 Jul 2019 11:41:16 +0000 Simonyi professor and mathematician Marcus du Sautoy’s new book, The Creativity Code, explores the future of creativity and how machine learning will disrupt, enrich, and transform our understanding of what it means to be human. In this engaging video, Marcus talks about using a definition from cognitive scientist Margaret Boden, claiming that creative acts must be novel, surprising and with value. According to du Sautoy, all three of these traits were present when AlphaGo – an AI trained to play the ancient game of Go – made a particularly unique and important move against world champion Lee Sedol in the second game of their match.

w World-class chef rates the best vegan burgers in the UK | On Location By www.wired.com Published On :: Mon, 19 Aug 2019 03:16:59 +0000 To find out how well the latest vegan burger offering fares from a professional point of view – and if they really do give actual meat a run for its money – we asked chef Marcus Samuelsson to put his tastebuds to task: with his mix of southern American, Ethiopian and Swedish food, Samuelsson knows what makes for a delicious burger. Samuelsson provided the menu for the Obama Administration’s first State dinner, had a three-star restaurant review from The New York Times at the age of 24, and owns a number of restaurants including Red Rooster – in both Harlem, New York, and Shoreditch, London – and, most recently, Marcus in Montreal, Canada. To give each of the seven vegan burgers in our test a fair start, we dressed each pattie with a tofu-based mayonnaise, vegan cheese, a slice of tomato, lettuce and red-onion dressing before topping it off with a vegan brioche bun. The testing took place in Samuelsson's Shoreditch-based restaurant Red Rooster at The Curtain Hotel. Only burgers available to buy in UK shops were eligible (sorry, no Impossible Burger yet). Here's our pick of the best vegan burgers you can buy right now. Read the guide on WIRED UK: https://www.wired.co.uk/article/best-vegan-burger-uk #vegan #veganburger #veganfood Full Article
