Artificial Intelligence's Foothold Increases Going Into 2020
Artificial intelligence (AI) continues to expand its footprint in the enterprise and the economy. That's the word from the AI Index, an annual data update from Stanford University's Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence Institute. The index tracks AI growth across a range of metrics, from papers published to patents granted to employment numbers. In terms of total employment, while AI-related jobs are but a small fraction, the share is rapidly expanding. In the U.S., the share of jobs in AI-related topics increased from 0.26% of total jobs posted in 2010 to 1.32% in October 2019 -- or five-fold growth.
Internet of Medical Things Comes of Age
What is the internet of medical things, or "IoMT" as it's sometimes called today? With the explosion of IoT use cases across industries, the medical space is no exception. Given the transformation of US healthcare to evidence-based outcomes with incentives that are beginning to align, metrics and patient feedback have become essential for care providers. Payers are increasingly interested in optimizing costs with treatments that are more effective than others. My personal experience with orthopedic sensors and the analytics possible with these sensors make me feel confident of a couple of things.
AI's Steady Takeover of the Hiring Process
Some of the largest employers in the world are increasingly, and in some cases controversially, relying on AI-based technologies to hire new workers. Companies like Tesla, Accenture and LinkedIn are using technology from Pymetrics to better vet qualified candidates and reduce the time and resources required for what has traditionally been a labor-intensive hiring process. The company, which boasts more than 80 global clients, uses a blend of data science and I/O psychology to create its "people recommendation engine." The Pymetrics platform is designed to improve employee retention while also increasing efficiency and diversity throughout the recruiting process. The results are parsed by AI to generate measurements related to candidates' problem-solving skills, ability to multitask and even their levels of altruism.
World's first robot employment agency launches in Israel offering firms the chance to hire robots
The world's first'employment agency' offering AI controlled robots to undertake'strenuous work normally endured by humans' has launched in Israel. MusashiAI, a joint venture between SixAI of Israel and Musashi Seimitsu of Japan has a completely autonomous forklift and a visual inspection robot on its books. The company says its fully autonomous robots will be able to integrate seamlessly with human workers in a modern factory environment. They say their model allows factories to hire robot labour by the hour or pay a task-completed rate, rather than buy expensive robot equipment outright. The world's first'employment agency' offering AI controlled robots to factories to undertake'strenuous work normally endured by humans' has launched in Israel.
Bloomingdale's iconic New York store on 59th Street adds robots to its holiday window displays
Robots are ringing in the holidays at Bloomingdale's New York store. Three of the 12 windows at the 59th street location feature robots in an bid to show how the retail company will'enhance the future retail experience'. Customers watch robots work together to create an'Autonomous Christmas Tree Decorating' display, play instruments in a full orchestra and sing'Christmas Carol Karaoke'. Bloomingdale's is known for its stunning and whimsical holiday displays, but this year it has teamed up with ABB robots and robot animator Andy Flessas to create a unique display to showcase how retailers can enhance the future retail experience. Two floor-mounted and two ceiling-mounted IRB 120 robots co-ordinate their movements to pass 20 gold ornaments to each other, placing them on the branches, before stripping the tree and starting the 30-minute process again.

Our Investment in Hugging Face
A seminal moment in machine learning took place on Sept 30, 2012 when a convolutional neural network called AlexNet achieved groundbreaking results in the ImageNet competition. This kicked off a race of rapidly improving computer vision models to the point where the technology outperformed humans in many tasks. These breakthroughs accelerated industries such as autonomous vehicles, consumer mobile applications, and created new multi billion dollar opportunities around computing architectures for machine learning training and inference. Natural Language Processing (NLP), another discipline of machine learning has seemed to lag behind in progress relative to computer vision. Recently NLP may have had its "ImageNet" moment due to new transformers models (e.g., GPT2 and BERT) shattering performance benchmarks.

Not smart enough: The poverty of European military thinking on artificial intelligence
"Artificial intelligence" (AI) has become one of the buzzwords of the decade, as a potentially important part of the answer to humanity's biggest challenges in everything from addressing climate change to fighting cancer and even halting the ageing process. It is widely seen as the most important technological development since the mass use of electricity, one that will usher in the next phase of human evolution. At the same time, some warnings that AI could lead to widespread unemployment, rising inequality, the development of surveillance dystopias, or even the end of humanity are worryingly convincing. States would, therefore, be well advised to actively guide AI's development and adoption into their societies. For Europe, 2019 was the year of AI strategy development, as a growing number of EU member states put together expert groups, organised public debates, and published strategies designed to grapple with the possible implications of AI. European countries have developed training programmes, allocated investment, and made plans for cooperation in the area. Next year is likely to be an important one for AI in Europe, as member states and the European Union will need to show that they can fulfil their promises by translating ideas into effective policies. But, while Europeans are doing a lot of work on the economic and societal consequences of the growing use of AI in various areas of life, they generally pay too little attention to one aspect of the issue: the use of AI in the military realm. Strikingly, the military implications of AI are absent from many European AI strategies, as governments and officials appear uncomfortable discussing the subject (with the exception of the debate on limiting "killer robots"). Similarly, the academic and expert discourse on AI in the military also tends to overlook Europe, predominantly focusing on developments in the US, China, and, to some extent, Russia. This is likely because most researchers consider Europe to be an unimportant player in the area.
