On-Demand Webinar: Responsible AI for Enterprise
Ahead of this year's AI Summit London, part of London Tech Week, we invited three Enterprise AI experts to join us for the London Tech Week Digital Series, to discuss responsible AI for business. This webinar is moderated by Aditya Kaul, Research Director at Tractica, who has 12 years' experience in technology market research with a primary focus on artificial intelligence & robotics. Joining Aditya is Ivana Bartoletti, Founder of the Women Leading in AI Network, and Udai Chilamkurthi, Lead Architect for Retail & Logistics at one of the UK's largest supermarket chains, Sainsbury's. In this on-demand webinar, you'll learn how your business can build an ethical framework for responsible AI & unlock the full potential of AI & Machine Learning to transform your enterprise. By accessing this free on-demand webinar by the AI Summit, you'll automatically receive a 20% discount to the upcoming AI Summit San Francisco (Palace of Fine Arts, 25 - 26 September 2019).
Elon Musk and Jack Ma Furious Debate on AI in China
Jack Ma and Elon Musk hold debate in Shanghai. Alibaba co-founder and executive chairman #JackMa and Tesla CEO #ElonMusk hold a debate in Shanghai over artificial intelligence.#AI. In the debate over artificial intelligence, whose side is Elon Musk on? Musk, who's in charge of SpaceX, Tesla and the Neuralink brain interface venture, sized up the odds with Alibaba founder Jack Ma today during a widely watched one-on-one session at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai. The way Musk sees it, the prospects aren't great for humans if future AI agents decide to go rogue.
AIs that deblur faces could make people on CCTV easier to identify
Artificial intelligence is turning the "Enhance!" Vishal Patel at John Hopkins University in the US and his colleagues have developed an AI that can automatically deblur photographs of people's faces. The technology could eventually be used to improve facial recognition on long-distance surveillance images, such as those taken from a drone, says Patel.
Domino's trials neural network to tailor pizza deals
Domino's Pizza Enterprises built a proof-of-concept using machine learning to personalise vouchers and deals for customers in Australia. The master franchise, which operates in nine countries, is an early tester of an AWS service called Personalize, which was only made publicly available last month. Speaking at the recent AWS Summit in Sydney, Domino's lead data scientist Thomas Atkins said the pizza maker wanted to find a way to scale its ability to personalise deals using a wider array of "variants", such as time of day, pickup or delivery, price, and type of pizza. "Making communication via SMS and all our marketing channels personalised is a real challenge because of scale," Atkins said. "To get from segmented marketing to personalised marketing requires a really deep level of automation. "With the typical level of automation that we have, we can do campaigns with four to six variants relatively easily, but there are a number of manual steps that make this a little bit cumbersome.
AI-enhanced ECGs may soon assess overall health
An electrocardiogram, also known as an ECG or EKG, is a painless, simple test that records the electrical activity of a person's heart. A recent paper in the journal Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology, describes how the team developed an artificial intelligence (AI) tool to predict sex and estimate age from ECG data. The researchers, from the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science, in Rochester, MN, trained the AI tool, which is of a type known as a convolutional neural network (CNN), using ECG readouts from nearly 500,000 individuals. When they tested the CNN's accuracy on a further 275,000 people, they found that it was very good at predicting sex but less good at predicting age. The AI tool got the sex right 90% of the time but only got the age right 72% of the time.
Health and Interventions Monitoring with Artificial Intelligence โ HIMAI
AIMS invites applications from qualified men and women of any nationality for postdoc and PhD positions available in our Health and Interventions Monitoring with Artificial Intelligence (HIMAI) project. By using approaches substantially reliant on machine learning and AI, the HIMAI project seeks to transform the practice of pharmacovigilance and the diagnosis and control of various diseases. Successful applicants will be based in our Rwandan campus, and may be temporarily placed in collaborating wet/engineering labs in Rwanda and elsewhere, depending on their research topic. Successful PhD applicants may be required to take remedial courses in computing, calculus, and/or statistics. Email CV and cover letter to research@nexteinstein.org with the subject line "HIMAI application".
DreamPort ยท Tech Talk Series: Where do you start with AI and ML? Designing and building Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning from the ground up!
Abraham Lincoln once said, "Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe." Building out actionable Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a task that requires the right tools in order to be executed in an efficient manner. Visionaries across the government are looking for ways to apply AI to enable efficiencies, reinvent the way we defend the network, drive the missionโand change the world. Hostile actors are taking advantages of advances in technology and now every organization across the DoD is asking, What do I do next? Join NVIDIA, NetApp, and Cisco to learn about how to sharpen your IT infrastructure axe, so your organization can tackle your AI/ML tasks in the most efficient manners possible.
AI for Good Projects Need a Helping Hand
The almighty dollar is a powerful factor in the current wave of artificial intelligence (AI) adoption. And why shouldn't it be? For millennia, companies have relied on technological progress to grow sales, cut costs, and improve customer satisfaction. But if we take a wider view, we see there is tremendous potential for AI to benefit society as a whole. Unfortunately, these "AI for good" projects often face big obstacles to success.
AI Analysis Gives Guidance to Crisis Counselors
A study by Cornell University researchers and the Crisis Text Line crisis-counselor platform described how volunteer crisis counselors' use of language evolves. The team used state-of-the-art natural language processing to learn that the language employed by counselors systematically changes, based on their training and empathy for callers in distress, giving rise to unique voices for calming those distressed individuals. The researchers analyzed more than 1 million anonymized texts from about 3,500 counselors on the Crisis Text Line. Crisis Text Line's Robert Filbin said the study' insights will help the platform train and guide crisis counselors. Cornell's Cristian Danescu-Niculescu-Mizil said, "This is an example of how natural language processing techniques can assist the development of skills in conversation-heavy professions."
