The Non-Technical Guide to Artificial Intelligence
According to McKinsey, AI will create an estimated $13 trillion of GDP growth between now and 2030. As a comparison, the GDP of the entire United States of America was around 19 trillion in 2017. Leading AI scientists, like Andrew Ng, describe AI as the fourth industrial revolution or โthe new electricity". AI is undoubtedly a centerpiece of digital transformation and its application throughout the industry will dramatically change our world and how we do business. The problem is that many people want to participate in this AI-revolution but they are overwhelmed by its technological sophistication. They don't know what AI is capable of, let alone how they could use it for their company.

Cardiologist Eric Topol: 'AI can restore the care in healthcare'
Eric Topol is an American cardiologist and geneticist โ among his many roles he is founder and director of the Scripps Research Translational Institute in California. He has previously published two books on the potential for big data and tech to transform medicine, with his third, Deep Medicine, looking at the role that artificial intelligence might play. He has served on the advisory boards of many healthcare companies, and last year published a report into how the NHS needs to change if it is to embrace digital advances. Your field is cardiology โ what makes you tick as a doctor? I was in clinic all day yesterday โ I love seeing patients โ but I also try to use whatever resources I can, to think about how can we do things better, how can we have much better bonding, accuracy and precision in our care.
Venturing forth: Kos Technologies Artificial Intelligence (KOS Ai)
For most of us, caring for wounds is a matter of applying a bit of antiseptic to a cut finger and slapping on a bandage. But for Jerence Go, an Executive MBA participant at Cambridge Judge Business School (EMBA 2017), a traumatic event in his personal life led to a quest to improve wound care through artificial intelligence. In late 2015, Jerence recounts, his father was involved as a pedestrian in a serious road accident in the New York metropolitan area, causing lasting brain and bodily injuries. After his father had multiple surgeries, including neck and spinal titanium fusion, facial procedures and a tracheostomy, he spent the following years in hospitals, and acute and sub-acute facilities, before entering home care near New York City. At that time, Jerence was an executive responsible for EMEA sales and operations management for high-tech lasers and sensors automation company Keyence Corporation in Belgium.

AI for Administrative Tasks Can Make Life Easier at Work
Employers are using artificial intelligence (AI) in recruiting chatbots, in video interviews to assess job candidates' body language or word choices, or to extract themes from engagement survey responses. But how companies are using AI to benefit the employee experience, support compliance efforts and ease administrative workloads is not as well-known. "So much of the buzz about AI has been for its'sexy' uses around sourcing and screening in recruiting, but there are a growing number of other applications of value to HR to be aware of," said Jeanne Meister, founding partner of Future Workplace, an HR advisory and research firm in New York City. One example of AI's expanding utility: using it to audit employees' expense reports, to ensure they comply with company policy and avoid wasteful spending. AppZen in Sunnyvale, Calif., uses AI to read and extract information from receipts to catch duplicates, out-of-policy spending, incorrect amounts or suspicious merchants.
