The global pandemic drastically changed how businesses use technology and has inspired innovations across sectors. That’s because what makes transformation harder is that it’s about simultaneously orchestrating change across four different dimensions – technology, data, people, and process across the…
The question behind Campari Red Diaries: Fellini Forward is whether AI can be trained to not just imitate Fellini’s oeuvre but extend it into new and original work. We haven’t seen the film or documentary, as it wasn’t made available…
Conversational AI, which uses Natural Language Processing (NLP), Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), Advanced Dialog management, and Machine Learning (ML), are likely to pass the Turing Test and provide a more realistic experience than traditional chatbots. Today’s AI-based chatbots can have…
Three out of every four new or emerging infectious diseases in humans can be traced back to animals according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In a new study published in Cell Reports, scientists have applied artificial…
The playbook that these consumer internet companies use to build their AI systems — where a single one-size-fits-all AI system can serve massive numbers of users — won’t work for these other industries (manufacturing, agriculture & healthcare). To bridge this…
The secret to achieving energy efficiency lies in the silicon neurons’ ability to learn to communicate and form networks, as shown by new research from the lab of Shantanu Chakrabartty, the Clifford W. For several years, his research group studied…
Automated machine learning, or AutoML, has generated plenty of excitement as a pathway to “democratizing data science.” The goal is straightforward enough: By embracing a new AI mindset and automating key elements of algorithm design, AutoML can make machine learning…
A Calgary, Alberta, animal health technology company, Sylvester.ai, has developed an app called Tably that uses the phone’s camera to tell whether a feline is feeling pain. The app looks at ear and head position, eye-narrowing, muzzle tension, and how…
The last 15 years have brought what Stanford University professor Erik Brynjolfsson calls the “productivity paradox.” While there’s been continuing advances in technology, such as artificial intelligence, automation, and teleconferencing tools, the U.S. and other countries have seen flagging productivity.…
The creation of a machine with human-like intelligence that could someday fool us into believing it’s one of us has often been described, with no small measure of trepidation, as the “singularity.” Respectable scientists like Stephen Hawking have argued that…
