Technological infused Finns are envisioning vast opportunities in creating and adopting Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions in the business landscape. This year at Slush in Helsinki, Finland, the largest technology event for startups and venture capital investors in Europe, there seemed to be an Artificial Intelligence company in each and every direction you were looking. It seems like there is a good reason for that. An accelerator initiated in 2018 by the Ministry of Economic Affairs of Finland and Technology Industries of Finland is helping startups and SME deploy Artificial Intelligence (AI). Finland's Artificial Intelligence Accelerator (FAIA), publishes a curated list of the best AI companies in Finland twice a year.

How do clinicians set rules that allow professionals "to make good use of technology to find patterns in complex data" but also "stop companies from extracting unethical value from those data?" Geis, from the American College of Radiology (ACR) Data Science Institute, is one of the authors of a joint statement that addresses the potential for the unethical use of data, the bias inherent in datasets, and the limits of algorithmic learning, and was the moderator of a session on the topic at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) 2019 Annual Meeting in Chicago. There's a very big grey area between an absolute ethical approach to data use and decisions that are profit-driven, he told Medscape Medical News. "Sitting on the sainthood side, I can stick to doing only what I see as good for my patients, maybe even taking vows of poverty," he said. "On the extreme other side, I'm doing things that put me in prison."

Artificial intelligence is expected to reshape the future workplace - drastically changing or replacing entire jobs. In fact, companies are already employing AI-based technologies to recruit talent and evaluate workers' performance. The central question has emerged: To what extent will AI and automation continue to change the workforce and what does it mean for both blue-collar and white-collar workers? On Wednesday, November 20, POLITICO held a deep-dive conversation on how AI is transforming the American workplace and what legislative and policy solutions should be implemented to address this shift.

A collaborative project between three Finnish university hospitals has developed the first artificial intelligence (AI)-based algorithm designed for use in intensive care units for treating patients with severe traumatic brain injury. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant global cause of mortality and morbidity with an increasing incidence, especially in low-and-middle income countries. The most severe TBIs are treated in intensive care units (ICU), but in spite of the proper and high-quality care, about one in three patients dies. Patients that suffer from severe TBI are unconscious, which makes it challenging to accurately monitor the condition of the patient during intensive care. In the ICU, many tens of variables are continuously monitored (e.g.

CES 2020, the world's largest consumer electronics show kicks off on January 7 and runs through to January 10 in Las Vegas. As usual, the world leaders in the development of home, leisure, sports, and travel technology will use the occasion to show off their latest gadgets, gizmos, and devices. Amongst keynote announcements from the likes of Amazon, LG, and Toyota, as well as thousands of other exhibitors, the first CES of the 2020s will offer a glimpse into how we will be spending our spare and leisure time over the next decade. Trends which will be at the forefront are intelligent vehicles, health and fitness technology, 5G networks as well as anything involving data and analytics. Here's my rundown of some of the most interesting, exciting, or innovative products and services that you can expect to see at the show.

For the second consecutive year, the Department of Economic Development and Commerce announced the allocation of $100,000 from its Special Economic Development Fund, for 60 young people to participate in the IOTeen Eco Technology and Business Education Project, aimed at training them to master skills related to the Internet of Things (IOT), robotics and entrepreneurship. "For 18 consecutive Saturdays starting in January, these young people will meet at the Engine-4 facilities. This is an excellent opportunity for Puerto Rican youth to create and shape the Smart City that the Engine-4 team has been working on for a while," said Manuel Laboy, Secretary of Economic Development and Commers. He added that the lab's facilities in Bayamón are expanding, following a contribution from the Department of Economic Development, through its Youth Development Program and the municipality of Bayamón. Meanwhile, Roberto Carlos Pagán-Santiago director of the Youth Development Program, said "over time, technology has become an essential part of young people's daily lives. Every day, this field generates more interest among students, who decide to take on a university career focused on this field."

In the Industrial Revolution 4.0, it is no longer about if companies should integrate artificial intelligence (AI) into their organisation, but about when and how. While it is natural to worry about AI replacing humans, thankfully, a recent whitepaper by Live with AI noted that jobs brought by the AI revolution won't be only reserved to computer specialists, enhanced human roles will emerge as well. The whitepaper noted that this is due to AI disrupting jobs task by task and not by entire job roles – something HR leaders can leverage on to disrupt disruption. Think about using tasks to better track technology impact, chart clearer pathways between jobs, and improve work prospects for people. With human roles still being very relevant in the age of AI and automation, it is important to take into account the "human cause" in an automation journey, augmenting a task that satisfies the worker, not replacing it. This effectively places humans at the heart of the transformation process.

When Facebook started automatically tagging faces in uploaded images, nobody realized that this facial recognition technology would hike up to tracking people down while walking on the streets. In the past several years, this disruptive technology has gained immense popularity, that it is now used everywhere, from airports to shopping centers, to law enforcement. With its growing predominance in national safety and security, the face recognition market is estimated to reach USD 11.30 Billion by 2026. "Facial recognition has been around for a long time--like the 1960s. Perhaps the father of facial recognition, Woodrow Wilson Bledsoe, an American mathematician and computer scientist who classified photos of faces all by hand, (RAND tablet), even he might have been alarmed at how facial recognition technology is supercharged today by advances in computing power, 5G speeds and AI paired with machine learning."– Moreover, the advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning are bringing about an active expansion to this technology.

This story began in Madrid, Spain. The winter was comming, and a team of four young enthusiasts started a project. The initial idea was to create an app to learn Sign Language, not only because it is an interesting aspect of our society, but for those 34 million children with disabling hearing loss that need to learn it to communicate. The beauty of technology is that it can be used to help others too. We aimed to do exactly that.

Trials have begun at Haneda Airport in Tokyo on next-generation self-driving electric wheelchairs to help elderly and other people get to boarding gates more easily. Japan Airlines aims to start using self-driving wheelchairs as early as the business year that starts next April. Currently, JAL offers manual wheelchairs at airports across the country. The self-driving wheelchairs JAL aims to introduce are designed to allow users to move without any escort. They automatically return to their home positions after use, making it unnecessary for workers to go and collect them.
