A metabolite-based machine learning approach to diagnose Alzheimer-type dementia in blood: Results from the European Medical Information Framework for Alzheimer disease biomarker discovery cohort

#artificialintelligence

This study showed that plasma metabolites have the potential to match the AUC of well-established AD CSF biomarkers in a relatively small cohort. Further studies in independent cohorts are needed to validate whether this specific panel of blood metabolites can separate AD from controls, and how specific it is for AD as compared with other neurodegenerative disorders.


Creating the Customer Experience of the Future Using Conversational AI

#artificialintelligence

Organisations are failing to truly harness the power of Conversational AI to deliver real business outcomes. Limited understanding of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has resulted in its hurried and ineffective implementation. The Customer Experience (CX) leaders of tomorrow can avoid this by following a framework that focuses on using AI and Machine Learning to deliver a tangible business case that enhances their overall customer experience. A recent CIO survey by Gartner found that by 2022, 20% of customer service will be handled by intelligent conversational agents and yet, 54% of organisations still have a very limited understanding of the technology. This has set the premise for the emergence of a plethora of vendors offering niche solutions using AI.


Elsa B. Kania on Artificial Intelligence and Great Power Competition

#artificialintelligence

The Diplomat's Franz-Stefan Gady talks to Elsa B. Kania about the potential implications of artificial intelligence (AI) for the military and how the world's leading military powers -- the United States, China, and Russia -- are planning to develop and deploy AI-enabled technologies in future warfighting. Kania is an Adjunct Senior Fellow with the Technology and National Security Program at the Center for a New American Security (CNAS). Her research focuses on Chinese military innovation in emerging technologies. She is also a Research Fellow with the Center for Security and Emerging Technology at Georgetown University and a non-resident fellow with the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI). Currently, she is a Ph.D. student in Harvard University's Department of Government. Kania is the author of numerous articles and reports including Battlefield Singularity: Artificial Intelligence, Military Revolution, and China's Future Military Power and A New Sino-Russian High-Tech Partnership. Her most recent report is Securing Our 5G Future, and she also recently co-authored a policy brief AI Safety, Security, and Stability Among Great Powers. She can be followed @EBKania.


AI could monitor breast cancer

#artificialintelligence

CHENNAI: Statistics show that about 40,000 women die in a year because of breast cancer, which is one in every 13 minutes a day. The importance of detecting the disease with the help of Artificial Intelligence is the need of the hour. Cautioning that breast cancer has become the most common disease among women both in the developed and the developing countries in the world in the past few years, Subash Kumar, a Computer Science Engineering graduate with around 12 years of experience in the field of data science, Artificial Intelligence machine learning- deep learning, from Chennai, claims that he has developed an easy way of detecting and curing the same. The application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) machine learning technology with deep learning algorithms to whole-slide pathology images can potentially improve the diagnostic accuracy of breast cancer at a very early stage. Some scholars have assessed the performance of automated deep learning algorithms at detecting metastases in the tissue of women with breast cancer and compared results with pathologists' diagnoses.


Japan Loves Robots, but Getting Them to Do Human Work Isn't Easy

#artificialintelligence

During a trial of self-driving buses in Oita City, also in southern Japan, one bus crashed into a curb, and officials realized that autonomous vehicles were not quite ready to cope with situations like traffic jams, jaywalkers or cars running red lights. For decades, Japan has been a leader in the use of robots. It is the world's largest maker of industrial robots, and once led the globe in the number of robots per employee, said Gee Hee Hong, an economist specializing in Japan at the International Monetary Fund. More recently, according to the International Federation of Robots, Singapore, South Korea and Germany have overtaken Japan in robots per worker. Unlike in the West, where employees often view automation as an existential threat, robots in Japan are generally portrayed as friendly forces.


AI Model, Twitter Data Provide Population-Level View of Physical Activity

#artificialintelligence

Using machine learning to comb through exercise-related tweets, researchers identified regional and gender differences in exercise types and intensity levels, providing insights into possible interventions that target certain communities, according to the findings of a study published in BMJ Open Sport & Exercise Medicine. The machine-learning method also allowed researchers to see how different populations feel about different kinds of exercise. The findings revealed that walking was the most popular physical activity for both men and women across all regions. Men and women also mentioned performing gym-based activities at similar rates, with men mentioning such activities in approximately 4.68% of tweets, compared to 4.13% for women. Among these tweets, CrossFit was the most popular among men's tweets, showing up in approximately 14.91%.


Can't park at an electric charging station? Volkswagen is working on an autonomous robot to juice your battery

USATODAY - Tech Top Stories

Wouldn't it be convenient if robots could charge your electric vehicle so that you don't have to? Volkswagen recently showed the world its dreamed-up future where robots with digital faces roam around parking garages to charge EVs using traveling battery packs. The autonomous robot would find your car, attach a charger to it and then move on to other vehicles while your battery juices up. The seemingly random unveil was meant to provide "a glimpse into the future in which the search for charging stations" comes to an end, VW said. The German automaker envisions you summoning the robot via an app.


How Is AI Remodelling The Tourism Industry?

#artificialintelligence

Anyone that has ever spoken the words "Hey Siri" or "OK Google" into their phone knows how to use voice assistants. The revolution of digital and artificial intelligence is affecting more and more aspects of our lives and businesses. It is being used to create bots for automation or to simply make sense of the billions of datasets that are being generated daily. Generally, when it comes to artificial intelligence it is all about making processes easier or better. Especially while dealing with customer interactions the new possibilities of AI, most prominently chatbots are creating a more enjoyable customer experience.


New Patent Reveals Tesla Aiming For Quicker Autonomous Driving Improvements

#artificialintelligence

The Neural Net of electric vehicle maker Tesla continues to improve regularly, and it seems that the company would like to make sure that it evolves at a faster rate. A new Tesla patent reveals that the company would like to enable a more efficient autonomous driving systems on Tesla vehicles. It would be made possible through a new data pipeline focused on more optimized data processing. The recently spotted Tesla patent titled "Data Pipeline and Deep Learning System for Autonomous Driving" was published just a couple of days ago. The concept is that Tesla would revolutionize and improve beyond deep learning systems used for autonomous vehicles.


AI vs. Machine Learning: Which is Better? - The Washington Note

#artificialintelligence

Machine Learning and Artificial intelligence is the revolutionary development of technology. Machine learning and AI has become part of our daily life and make it convenient for our daily living. Artificial Intelligence is different from machine learning. They have similarities but entirely different from each other. The difference between ML and AI is mentioned above.
