How AI is helping our planet.

It’s easy for us land-dwellers to forget just how vital the oceans are. They cover about 71 percent of the Earth’s surface and account for 91 percent of its living space. The oceans are where life began and our species has been linked to it ever since. Let’s talk about an organisation that is using… Read more How AI is helping our planet.

DREAMING OF THE AI-DRIVEN ENTERPRISE

BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front) Your AI projects can fail due to a lack of true and business-minded data scientists Your AI projects can fail due to a lack of a vocal C-level advocate Your AI projects can fail due to a lack of dedicated resources. Your AI projects can fail due to detractors working… Read more DREAMING OF THE AI-DRIVEN ENTERPRISE

Artificial Intelligence, Cloud, Mobile Devices and Networks

A key takeaway from Jeff Welser’s (Vice President and Lab Director, IBM Research) presentation is that we are creating data at twice the speed than bandwidth in our networks. Large parts of Big Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) products and services today have been built using the resources of cloud computing. According to  Craig Martell… Read more Artificial Intelligence, Cloud, Mobile Devices and Networks

Two Cents on AI in Healthcare

Thanks to the emerging of AI, huge progresses have been made in the past decades in healthcare industry. Not only we can see people surging into this area for the scientific advances, but also infinite business opportunities. Let’s take a look at the numbers: [1] – According to venture capital firm Rock Health, 121 health AI… Read more Two Cents on AI in Healthcare

Military Drone latencies

The near future in the aviation industry looks to be one hundred percent autonomous. There are already current military systems that are able to control and navigate autonomous systems from nearby bases and unmanned aerial vehicles that possess the power to access remote areas to conduct search operations, deliver potential packages, supply raw materials, scan earth… Read more Military Drone latencies

Hic Sunt Dracones

The Space Race started with an early lead by the Soviet Union, which managed to reach a stable orbit with the first ever artificial satellite, the Sputnik 1. This impressive achievement started the so-called “Sputnik Crisis” in the United States, as the West feared that the USSR had surpassed it in space-related technologies, which had obvious… Read more Hic Sunt Dracones

Drawbacks of Deep Learning

In order to solve a problem, deep learning enables machines to mirror the human brain by making use of artificial neural networks. These networks are known to run a variety of applications such as speech recognition devices like Siri and Neuro-Linguistic Programming. Deep learning has hence been recognized as one of the major research areas… Read more Drawbacks of Deep Learning

True or False.

Last week, our guest speaker Craig Martell spoke of how AI is exaggerated in movies and is highly unlikely to come in the form of the Terminator or Skynet taking over control of your vehicle and driving it off the road. In reality, AI is just advanced statistics, using algorithms like logistic regression and xgboost… Read more True or False.

The risks of AI: Reality or Science Fiction?

In his guest lecture about the fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence, Craig Martell, Head of Science and Engineering at LinkedIn, pointed out that Artificial Intelligence is often presented in a wrong way. Scenarios in which machines get super intelligent and pose a serious risk to human beings seemed to be rather unlikely to him. This blog… Read more The risks of AI: Reality or Science Fiction?

The Need for Caution in Government Use of AI

To date, machine learning has been used primarily to determine product offerings: What movies should Netflix recommend its users? What products should Amazon recommend? However, certain tech companies are now marketing machine learning applications to governments and public agencies. For example, tech firm Predpol uses “real-time epidemic-type aftershock sequence crime forecasting” and historical crime data… Read more The Need for Caution in Government Use of AI
