YouTube Piracy Violators Will Attend Copyright School, Google Says. Today Google News

Google and YouTube on Saturday strengthened its copyright laws, and whoever infringes or violates them, need to attend and pass “copyright school” before granting any further uploads.
Facing fire due to piracy issues from the movie and music industry (and just about everyone), Google and YouTube plans to teach some lessons against the criminal act.
According to YouTube, “Because copyright law can be complicated, education is critical to ensure that our users understand the rules and continue to play by them. That’s why today we’re releasing a new tutorial on copyright and a redesigned copyright help center. We’re also making two changes to our copyright process to be sure that our users understand the rules, and that users who abide by those rules can remain active on the site.”


If a user violates the rules thrice, irrespective of other matters, YouTube will pull you out, account suspended, and devoid of the ability to break more rules.

Google Funds Artificial Intelligence Research to Teach Computers Regret

As search engines grow, so does the need for processing large amounts of data in real-time. To address this surge in traffic cost effectively and intelligently, search engine giant Google  is interested in making server computers smarter. To this end, it is funding a ground breaking artificial intelligence (AI) research at the Blavatnik School of Computer Science, Tel Aviv University. The motive is to see how these advances will drive the company’s AdWords and AdSense revenues.


This program, headed by Prof. Yishay Mansour, began earlier this year at the International Conference on Learning Theory in Haifa, Israel, WebProNews.


According to WebProNews, Prof. Mansour and other researchers in the department are working on algorithms that would allow computers to learn from their past failures or mistakes in an effort to make smarter predictions in the future. Mansour refers to it as “minimizing virtual regret”.


Reporting professor’s comments, the news web site wrote “If the servers and routing systems of the Internet could see and evaluate all the relevant variables in advance, they could more efficiently prioritize server resource requests, load documents and route visitors to an Internet site, for instance.”


Explaining the word regret, Mansour said that “Regret” is not really the same as the human emotion that could stem from a bad break-up or overindulging in sweets or fatty foods. It is more akin to noting the gap between a desired outcome and the actual outcome.


Mansour added, “We are able to change and influence the decision-making of computers in real-time. Compared to human beings, help systems can much more quickly process all the available information to estimate the future as events unfold – whether it’s a bidding war on an online auction site, a sudden spike of traffic to a media website, or demand for an online product.”

Google shares fall as first-quarter profits fail to meet expectations

Google has reported an 18% rise in first-quarter profit, disappointing analysts who are increasingly concerned about the company's aggressive expansion strategy and lavish spending.


Google's first-quarter earnings of $2.3bn (£1.4bn), or $7.04 a share, for the quarter ended 31 March came in below analyst projections as the internet search leader accelerated recruitment hiring and spending in other areas, driving up its expenses.


The company's shares shed $27.74, or nearly 5% on Thursday, to $550.77 in extended trading. These results are likely to heighten investor fears that Google's earnings will suffer because of the company's commitment to hire at least 6,200 workers this year. That would be the most in its 13-year history.


Google co-founder Larry Page, who replaced Eric Schmidt as CEO after the quarter ended, has indicated he plans to keep investing in long-term opportunities that may take years to pay off, even if that affects the short-term results.


Page offered a determinedly optimistic view of the figures. "I'm very excited about Google and our momentum, and I'm very, very optimistic about our future," he said. He insisted that the management transition Google announced three month ago is unfolding as planned, with Page overseeing day-to-day operations while Schmidt handles government relations and stalks possible acquisition targets in his new role as executive chairman.


If not for the cost of employee stock rewards, Google said it would have earned $8.08 a share. The company hired 1,916 staff, taking its workforce over 26,300. Half of the new staff are working on products and services to supplement search advertising, which makes most of Google's money.
