Interview With CEO of Growth Hackers Jonathan Aufray

#artificialintelligence

Take a look around and you will find a lot of self-proclaimed marketing professionals. However, there are only a few names who have actually made it to the top and gotten their art acknowledged. Today on Branex Talks, we are privileged to have such a gentleman with us. To date, he has helped businesses and startups founders scale their business. He has extensive experience working with various professionals in 70 countries, including Taiwan, Spain, Ireland, the US and the UK.


How Artificial Intelligence is Rewriting the Medical Coding Automation - Osplabs

#artificialintelligence

Overstating the importance of Artificial Intelligence is difficult. When implemented efficiently, AI holds the capacity to boost your billing business tenfold. In many cases, AI is the thing that is scaling the business rather than the physical workforce. The question on many business minds is how does AI change the way business is done? To help answer this question, we analyzed many billing and coding companies.


177 Startups Using Artificial Intelligence in Drug Discovery

#artificialintelligence

Uses AI to: Find combinations of genomic, phenotypic, and clinical features that define disease risk, prognosis, and therapy response in a complex disease population. Allows researchers to: Find novel drug targets in existing datasets, identify drug repurposing opportunities, and improve biomarker-driven patient stratification strategies.


Machine Learning: Its True Essence

#artificialintelligence

Conceptually, Machine Learning (ML) is the art of teaching machines. Now, obviously teaching is such that when a student is taught by a teacher/tutor, he is capable of facing and answering any question which is either explicitly taught or not. Say, there is a subject covering m number of possible questions. A student is taught n out of the m questions by a teacher (where n is less than m for sure). Now, say there is an examination in which there are x number of questions asked. And, it is found that out of the x questions, there are a questions from the set of n questions being taught and the remaining questions (x-a questions) are questions that are not taught explicitly to the student.


Rocks from Mars could be put in quarantine on the MOON to avoid 'War of the Worlds style disaster'

Daily Mail - Science & tech

Martian rocks could be locked down in quarantine on the moon to prevent them from contaminating Earth and creating a War of the Worlds-style disaster, an expert has claimed. Interplanetary infection is a major concern for ongoing space exploration, and all avenues are being investigated to ensure both Earth and Mars remain clean. Storing Martian rocks on the moon is being looked at as a potential solution as it would prevent the creation of a direct path to Earth's fragile ecosystems. This 150,000-mile (400,000-km) barrier would present its own issues, scientists acknowledge, but could offer invaluable protection to life on Earth. NASA and ESA are working together on the Mars2020 project which which will see two rovers roaming the red planet in search of alien life, among other goals.


This is how Facebook's AI looks for bad stuff

#artificialintelligence

The context: The vast majority of Facebook's moderation is now done automatically by the company's machine-learning systems, reducing the amount of harrowing content its moderators have to review. In its latest community standards enforcement report, published earlier this month, the company claimed that 98% of terrorist videos and photos are removed before anyone has the chance to see them, let alone report them. So, what are we seeing here? The company has been training its machine-learning systems to identify and label objects in videos--from the mundane, such as vases or people--to the dangerous, such as guns or knives. Facebook's AI uses two main approaches to look for dangerous content. One is to employ neural networks that look for features and behaviors of known objects and label them with varying percentages of confidence (as we can see in the video above).



The invisible workers of the AI era

#artificialintelligence

In the early days of research on Artificial Intelligence, Frank Rosenblatt, a scientist at Cornell University in the United States, invented what he called the "perceptron". The perceptron was an algorithm designed to classify objects it was shown and an ancestor of modern Artificial Intelligence. When Rosenblatt became a little boastful at a press conference in 1958, the New York Times picked up on it and went a little overboard with excitement. "NEW NAVY DEVICE LEARNS BY DOING; Psychologist Shows Embryo of Computer Designed to Read and Grow Wiser", read the title of an article. The Navy said the perceptron would be the first non-living mechanism "capable of receiving, recognizing and identifying its surroundings without any human training or control" Does this tone sound familiar?


Artificial Intelligence: A Trusted Partner for the Financial Industry

#artificialintelligence

The first Model Artificial Intelligence Governance Framework in Asia was released by Singapore in January this year, in collaboration with the World Economic Forum's Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution. AI, an emerging frontier in technology that allows technical systems to simulate human intelligence and behaviors, has vast applications in many fields. As part of its «Smart Nation» pursuits, Singapore launched its National Artificial Intelligence (AI) Strategy at the Singapore FinTech Festival and Singapore Week of Innovation and TeCHnology (SFF x SWITCH) conference. Within the next three years, AI-powered chatbots will become the first point of contact for residents to report issues with city services while marking systems in schools will soon be automated. Across the financial landscape, AI has also weaved itself into the workings of the industry.


AI Promises to Take Over Work, Can It?

#artificialintelligence

At a China Summit in the fall of 2019, Jack Ma and Elon Musk discussed their contradicting views on the future of artificial intelligence (AI). It was interesting discussion and I recommend watching it. In the talk, Musk lays out his fears that AI will quickly accelerate to push humans out of the way, a real-life Terminator. While Ma believes that AI will improve the human way of life and cause a quantum leap in human productivity to the point where we can all cut the number of hours we work while maintaining our lifestyles. Putting aside Musk's concerns of a computer takeover, I'd like to cast some doubt on Ma's hopeful outlook on the benefits of AI and why simply maintaining our lifestyles won't be enough.
