The Future Society
The Future Society is a nonprofit think-and-do-tank specialized in questions of impact and governance of Artificial Intelligence and emerging technologies. We are looking for a full-time Digital Marketing Intern to join our team for 10 to 14 weeks to work on the AI Civic Forum. The Future Society addresses the profound consequences of the current technological explosion. Our mission is to advance the global governance of Artificial Intelligence and other emerging technologies. About The Future Society: Our research addresses a range of AI governance topics, including AI ethics guidelines across sectors, policy frameworks for AI adoption in developing countries, AI for UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), geopolitics of AI, AI safety risks, and more.
Using AI to improve intelligence gathering
HANSCOM AIR FORCE BASE, Mass. Two members of the Digital Directorate's Command, Control, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance division at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia, collaborated with personnel from the Air Force Research Laboratory and Air Combat Command to see if real time analytics, or RTA, could act as an assistant to DCGS analysts. "Operational analysts have so much data to look at, and it's coming at them fast and furious," said Dr. Chris "Jake" Jacobson, solutions architect and product owner from ACC. "We wanted to see if we could use RTA to help with that overwhelming amount of data streaming at the analysts." RTA is an open, modular IT platform that acts as a harness to host AI and ML algorithms. Users identified full motion video, or FMV, as an initial area where they thought this could provide benefits.
How Japan's Tokio Marine uses AI to process insurance claims in 'minutes'
Until yesterday, most of Japan was under a state of emergency as the country dealt with the effects of the coronavirus on its aging population. Among the measures involved was a severe restriction on movement, which although not as strict as many of its neighbors, meant that performing tasks โ such as meeting up with one's insurance adjustors to process policy claims โ would not have been possible. It was around this time that Japanese insurer Tokio Marine, well known around Asia for handling property and other insurance products, decided to use an artificial intelligence (AI) solution to assess vehicular damage across its insurance operations โ helping to speed up claims processing for its automobile policyholders. The AI tech was developed by Tractable who had been working with Tokio Marine since 2018 to improve appraisal operations which need complex visual assessments, and came up with the AI solution based on computer vision. The AI allows the insurance firm to make sense of the full extent of vehicle repair options based on the photos of car damage, and will then recommend repairs, paint, and blending processes, as well as the costs involved including labor hours.

Big Tech searches for a way back into healthcare
Robert Wachter, a former member of Google's healthcare advisory board, remembers when the company first set its sights on the healthcare industry more than a decade ago. "They said: We're Google, we'll solve it," says Wachter, head of medicine at University of California, San Francisco. At the time, Google was trying to create individual accounts where users could store their electronic medical records. So when then-chief executive Eric Schmidt later abandoned the effort with an admission that Google had underestimated the challenge, it came as a shock. "They conquer industry after industry, it doesn't seem like this would be very different," Wachter says.
AI in Africa healthcare falls short of potential
Two days after the World Health Organization declared coronavirus a pandemic on March 11, the South African data science competition platform Zindi set a challenge. Budding data scientists were asked to come up with a model to predict the spread of Covid-19 using open-source data. A fortnight later, more than 500 hopefuls had entered, vying for the $5,000 prize. Entries will be judged in June against the spread of the disease measured in global deaths. Celina Lee, who co-founded Zindi in Cape Town 18 months ago, describes the platform as a way of showcasing budding African data scientists and matching them with companies that have data but lack the expertise to exploit it.
AI application launched for COVID-19 pneumonia detection
BioMind has launched an artificial intelligence (AI) application to assist in the detection of COVID-19 associated pneumonia on medical imaging. The AI application identifies anomalies in the lungs and assists in detection of COVID-19 pneumonia. It analyses the lung pathology on chest CT to aid in the assessment and comes with triage capability. With the sudden surge in admission of respiratory-related patients globally, triaging can help to reduce the increasing burden on the intensive care units (ICU) and address the shortage of medical resources. Raymond Moh, CEO of BioMind, said: "We are proud to receive the Health Sciences Authority's approval for our COVID-19 diagnostics support product. This was born out of the immense efforts and collaborations between clinicians, lung specialists and our engineers. In an unprecedented crisis like this, we hope to quickly scale our solution in Asia, Europe, Middle East and USA to equip physicians with smart tools to detect and manage COVID-19 pneumonia. Artificial intelligence will be their useful assistant daily in this long battle."
Nvidia Jetson Xavier NX review: Redefining GPU accelerated machine learning
Nvidia launched the Jetson Xavier NX embedded System-on-Module (SoM) at the end of last year. It is pin-compatible with the Jetson Nano SoM and includes a CPU, a GPU, PMICs, DRAM, and flash storage. However, it was missing an important accessory, its own development kit. Since a SoM is an embedded board with just a row of connector pins, it is hard to use out-of-the-box. A development board connects all the pins on the module to ports like HDMI, Ethernet, and USB. A Jetson module combined with a development board looks similar to a Raspberry Pi or other Single Board Computers (SBC).
How data analysis, AI, and IoT will shape the post-coronavirus 'new normal'
Pandemics are shocks to communities throughout the world. Each community's response emerges from the countless changes that individuals make in their daily lives to protect themselves while trying to maintain a semblance of normality. Grassroots responses often emerge first in such crises, but they may not be the most effective approach for slowing the contagion's spread. From a technological standpoint, solutions invariably involve various blends of remote collaboration, contactless transactions, and replacement of manual processes with automated, robotic, and other human-free processes. When a contagion is raging, grassroots responses can be counterproductive if everybody's operating at cross-purposes.
Everything You Wanted to Know About Machine Learning but Were Too Afraid to Ask
Machine Learning, AI, Deep Learning are buzz words being heard daily on TV, in workplaces, at gatherings, etc. Maybe you're a little bit embarrassed to ask what's Machine Learning or AI, or maybe you have the wrong understanding of Machine Learning. Either way that's okay because this article serves as an introduction to Machine Learning, I wrote it in a Q&A format so it becomes easy to follow and understand. Machine Learning is a subset of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and it's about writing software codes to enables computers (or machines in general) to get better at a given task on their own without human intervention. Some people argue that Machine Learning is a fancy way to say "Statistical Analysis" which is the science of collecting data and uncovering patterns and trends. Either way, think about all the data being generated daily and how people try to make sense of it to make their lives better, that's Machine Learning.
