Dell EMC Accelerates Artificial Intelligence Adoption for Digital Transformation - insideHPC

#artificialintelligence

Today Dell EMC announced new Ready Solutions for AI. With specialized designs for Machine Learning with Hadoop and Deep Learning with NVIDIA, the Dell EMC Ready Solutions simplify AI environments, deliver faster, deeper insights than the competition1, and leverage Dell EMC's proven expertise to help organizations realize the full potential of AI. There's no doubt that AI is the future, and our customers are preparing for it now," said Tom Burns, senior vice president, Networking & Solutions, Dell EMC. "Our goal is to lead the industry with the most powerful and fully-integrated AI solutions. What we're announcing today allows customers at any scale to start seeing better business outcomes and positions them for AI's increasingly important role in the future." Emerging technologies such as AI will transform lives and how people work and conduct business over the next decade. According to Dell Technologies' research with 3,800 business leaders around the globe, conducted in partnership with VansonBourne, nearly 80% of organizations will be investing in advanced AI technologies within the next five years. AI is increasingly a strategic priority for most organizations. However, deploying and managing AI workloads is complex, costly, and requires extensive integration and testing of the hardware and software. The new Dell EMC Ready Solutions for AI were built to simplify AI, deliver faster, deeper insights, and leverage Dell EMC's proven AI expertise. Organizations no longer have to individually source and piece together their own solutions. Instead, they can rely on a Dell EMC-designed and validated set of best-of-breed technologies for software โ€“ including AI frameworks and libraries โ€“ with compute, networking and storage. Dell EMC's portfolio of services from consulting to deployment, support and education helps customers drive the rapid adoption and optimization of their AI environments. In this video from the Dell EMC HPC Community Meeting, Jay Boisseau from Dell EMC describes how the company is moving forward as a thought leader in Artificial Intelligence. Dell EMC and NVIDIA engineered this deep learning design to be built around Dell EMC PowerEdge servers with NVIDIA Tesla V100 Tensor Core GPUs. AI is being driven by leaps in GPU computing power that defy the slowdown in Moore's Law," said Ian Buck, vice president and general manager, Accelerated Computing Group, NVIDIA.

His success in operational solutions and leadership has been pivotal in establishing Aidoc. He is a seasoned public speaker, appearing at various institutions including the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel Society for Biological Psychiatry and Shaare Zedek Medical Center.


Artificial intelligence could revive the art of medicine

#artificialintelligence

Doctors practice medicine to deliver care, not do data entry. Yet in the era of electronic medical records (EMRs), for every hour spent with a patient, physicians spend nearly two hours on paperwork. What if technology could take care of the paperwork for us? Record-keeping systems in health care were built for back-office functions, not bedside medicine. Most EMR vendors started out building products to collect payments and schedule appointments.

Environmental expert James Lovelock says humans may have had their day and could make way for AI

The Independent - Tech

Humans' time may have run out and artificial intelligence could be about to take our place on Earth, according to James Lovelock. The leading environmental thinker, who became famous for Gaia theory and is soon to turn 100, said that the Earth was in dire trouble and could soon experience intense climate-related disasters. But he still believes himself to be an optimist and thinks that new kinds of life, in the form of AI, will be ready to take over from humans. Amid a flood in Islampur, Jamalpur, Bangladesh, a woman on a raft searches for somewhere dry to take shelter. Bangladesh is one of the most vulnerable places in the world to sea level rise, which is expected to make tens of millions of people homeless by 2050.

iPhone charger could change yet again as EU plans to make all handsets to have same plug

The Independent - Tech

Apple could be forced to drop the charging port in the bottom of its iPhones as part of new plans to help users. The company may be required to use another standard like USB-C instead, so that ports can be standardised across manufacturers. The European Union is looking at new ways of making phone companies all use the same phone chargers, which could include forcing companies to decide on a standard and use it in all phones.

Health insurance agency behind falling popularity of Watson - Korea Biomedical Review

#artificialintelligence

The "Watson sensation" that hit Korea's medical industry seems to be waning. The domestic hospitals competed to introduce the artificial intelligence program of IBM last year, but no more joined the boom this year. Starting with Gachon University Gil Medical Center which introduced the AI system in December 2016, eight hospitals jumped on the Watson bandwagon last year --Pusan National University Hospital, Konyang University Hospital, Keimyung University Dongsan Medical Center, Daegu Catholic University Medical Center, Chosun University Hospital, Chonnam National University Hospital and VHS Medical Center. Some attribute the lack of followers to skepticism about the AI system, which had grown since the U.S. MD Anderson terminated its contract with IBM Watson last year. More point out, however, that it is the systemic limitations that cooled down the Watson fervor in Korea.


How Machine Learning is Making Independent Living Safer for the Elderly - IEEE Transmitter

#artificialintelligence

The first three inputs are either too complex or not accurate enough, according to researchers from Nanjing University. Thus, they set out to refine a method for using a passive RFID tag hanging around the subject's neck to spot falls. In their study, they found that, focusing on Doppler frequency, "the value of a sudden fall was significantly higher than that of the other movements," enabling them to distinguish the falling action based on the change in speed.
