Getting practical about the future of work

#artificialintelligence

What story will people tell about your organization over the next ten years? Will they celebrate an enthusiastic innovator that thrived by adapting workforce skills and ways of working to the demands of the new economy? Or will they blame poor financial or operational results, unhappy employees, and community disruption on a short-sighted or delayed talent strategy? Our modeling shows that by 2030, up to 30 to 40 percent of all workers in developed countries may need to move into new occupations or at least upgrade their skill sets significantly. Research further suggests that skilled workers in short supply will become even scarcer. Some major organizations are already out front on this issue. Amazon recently pledged $700 million to retrain 100,000 employees for higher-skilled jobs in technology (for example, training warehouse employees to become basic data analysts).


Are Advanced FPGAs the Activators of Smarter AI Features?

#artificialintelligence

FPGAs' ability to distribute massive workloads into parallel computation enables AI features to create highly efficient electronic devices. FREMONT, CA: Implementing FPGA increases the number of parallel computational elements and processing efficiency of the electronic devices. FPGAs that hold parallel and hardware-programmable feature enables electronics excellence at specialized workloads with high computational operations and optimal configurations. Over the past few years, FPGAs have proved to be the low-power solution, making it flexible and ideal for Neural Network (NN) architectures. Today, professionals are focusing on creating designs for supporting AI-based applications and functions.


Who is Winning the AI Race?

The average time it took from filing to issuance was 850 days. The patent that took the longest time to issue was U.S. Patent No. 10410308, System, method, and device for personal medical care, intelligent analysis, and diagnosis.


Data Classification: Not Just for CISOs Anymore

#artificialintelligence

Data classification has always been regarded as a foundational element of any viable data security strategy. After all, most organizations are creating, utilizing and storing more potentially sensitive data than ever before. The emergence of compliance guidelines and data privacy mandates, such as General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), puts data classification front and center. The necessity of classifying data has grown as organizations must ensure their data is compliant and protected. At the same time, data classification is proving to have equally valuable implications for corporate privacy initiatives.


Explained: The Artificial Intelligence Race is an Arms Race

#artificialintelligence

Most chess computers play a purely mathematical strategy in a game yet to be solved. They are raw calculators and look like it too. AlphaZero, at least in style, appears to play every bit like a human. It makes long-term positional plays as if it can visualize the board; spectacular piece sacrifices that no computer could ever possibly pull off, and exploitative exchanges that would make a computer, if it were able, cringe with complexity. In short, AlphaZero is a genuine intelligence.


Technology industry cheers Budget's focus on AI, ML; asks for revival of SEZ policy

#artificialintelligence

The technology industry has cheered the Union Budget 2020's thrust on the technology sector applauding various announcements including the Rs. While presenting the Union Budget, finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman said that technology, will be used for better monitoring of the economic data, building a preventive regime for diseases under Ayushman Bharat, capturing and protection of intellectual property rights, improving agriculture and sea-ports and delivery of government services. A new scheme for incentivising domestic manufacturing of electronics specifically mobile phones will also be announced, she added. Debjani Ghosh, President, NASSCOM said, "Budget 2020 and the finance minister's speech has well-articulated India's vision on not just being a leading provider of digital solutions, but one where technology is the bedrock of development and growth'. Nasscom welcomed the announcements on Quantum Computing, Data Center policy, IPR portal, CoE etc, along with the removal of Dividend Distribution Tax which was a long pending demand from the industry. It, however said that the Budget lacked focus on accelerating service exports from the country. "The technology services sector has been a key contributor to India's exports and GDP, NASSCOM had recommended that new investments by services companies in SEZs should also be eligible for the lower rate of 15%.


2nd International Research Meeting on Artificial Intelligence Excelia Group

#artificialintelligence

According to the 2018 report of the World Economic Forum, AI will be increasingly present in our professional and personal lives. Some people think that this is a great opportunity which will revolutionize the world and our daily lives. Others see it as a threat to jobs and freedom. According to J. G. Ganascia, a researcher at the Sorbonne-University Computer Laboratory (LIP6), AI refers to "a scientific discipline that aims to break down intelligence into elementary functions, to the point where a computer can be built to simulate them." The fields of AI and machine learning offer infinite opportunities for research and development and building solutions that can help human civilization and socities.


What Retail AI Looks Like in Western Europe

#artificialintelligence

Two-thirds of retailers in France considered the use of AI indispensable for ecommerce, and a further 18.5% said it was very useful, per Octopeek. "Besides customer experience, some AI implementations operate at the back-end of retail operations," said Karin von Abrams, eMarketer principal analyst and author of our latest report, "Western Europe Ecommerce Trends 2020: Consumer-Facing AI, Social Commerce and Delivery/Returns on the Agenda." "For example, fashion store H&M uses AI to analyze purchases and returns at physical stores; these patterns help determine whether a specific store should promote or increase stock of certain items," she said. Stores can also analyze consumers' online search behaviors over time to identify products that regularly attract interest but could be marketed more effectively. Retailers typically see consumer-facing AI as a natural extension of traditional in-store activities.


Bayesian Neural Networks with TensorFlow Probability

#artificialintelligence

Machine learning models are usually developed from data as deterministic machines that map input to output using a point estimate of parameter weights calculated by maximum-likelihood methods. However, there is a lot of statistical fluke going on in the background. For instance, a dataset itself is a finite random set of points of arbitrary size from a unknown distribution superimposed by additive noise, and for such a particular collection of points, different models (i.e. Hence, there is some uncertainty about the parameters and predictions being made. Bayesian statistics provides a framework to deal with the so-called aleoteric and epistemic uncertainty, and with the release of TensorFlow Probability, probabilistic modeling has been made a lot easier, as I shall demonstrate with this post (be aware that no theoretical background will be provided).


Predicting the Future of the Economy with Machine Learning

#artificialintelligence

Let us focus on all the subsequent discussion in this article with Warren Buffet's point of view. As our data has been collected from YouTube and Twitter, we have to benchmark the authenticity and genuinity of the text data with the thoughts being as close to the financial world. This is necessary because we are going to train our models to predict the future of the economy and our text data transcripts have to be related to finance and economics. While collecting the data we assumed that these financial investors are quite dedicated to their field and will mostly talk publicly every time related to finance and economics. But still, we have to validate our assumed heuristic.
