Sorry Elon Musk But Artificial Intelligence Grows Jobs: Domino's Pizza CEO
"We employ a lot more people today than we did 10 years ago when people were taking calls and orders on the phone," he said in an interview with TheStreet. "Technology ultimately drives efficiency, it drives a better experience for the customer. If you do that, the business grows and it ultimately grows employment." Domino's employs some 14,100 people, as of January 1, 2017. About 60% of Domino's sales comes from digital.
Artificial Intelligence: Get your users to label your data
I wanted to call this article "Parasitic Labeling of AI Training Data," but apparently that's too complicated. What I want to tell you about is an often neglected aspect of machine learning: data labeling. Supervised machine learning with deep neural networks, is the most common kind of AI out there. Supervised learning means learning from labeled data. But often you don't have labeled data.
Modern Media Is a DoS Attack on Your Free Will - Issue 52: The Hive
It's not that James Williams, a doctoral candidate at the Oxford Internet Institute's Digital Ethics Lab (motto: "Every Bit as Good"), had a "God, what I have I done?" moment during his time at Google. But it did occur to him that something had gone awry. Williams joined Google's Seattle office when it opened in 2006 and went on to win the company's highest honor, the Founder's Award, for his work developing advertising products and tools. Then, in 2012, he realized that these tools were actually making things harder for him. Modern technology platforms, he explained to me, were "reimposing these pre-Internet notions of advertising, where it's all about getting as much of people's time and attention as you can." By 2011, he had followed his literary and politico-philosophical bent (he is a fan of George Orwell's 1984 and Aldous Huxley's Brave New World) to Oxford, while still working at Google's London office.
The Weather Company's CMO Explains How Data From Cars and Appliances Will Rocket AI Marketing
The digital transformation that is building speed with brands and agencies alike will increasingly be powered by more nimble use of data derived from IOT connections, then filtered through AI's machine learning by executives that have the merged mindset of a CMO and a CIO. And while that mouthful of reality hasn't been fully digested by the brand maketing ecosystem, Jordan Bitterman, CMO of IBM's The Weather Company, sees it close at hand thanks to the connected appliances and products around us. "AI can't be anything without data. So often we think of IOT as being Fitbits and Apple Watches and while that's true, there is a whole host of data that most of us in the advertising space haven't considered" including from elevators, airplanes dishwashers and cars, Bitterman explained during an interview with Adweek at Dmexco 2017 in Cologne, Germany. "All that data can play a role in an AI solution so they're totally linked," he added.
5 Steps from Business Analyst to Data Scientist
In the past, the terms business analyst and data scientist have sometimes been used interchangeably, and indeed, in a small company, the lines between the two sorts of jobs may blur. But as more and more companies look to big data for business insights, they are shifting from relying on business analysts to predict what the future of a business might look like, and moving towards using data scientists and machine learning to interpret data and predict trends. What's the difference, you might ask? While the end result of these two jobs is often similar, a business analyst and a data scientist use different tools to get there. In general, data scientists have much greater technical expertise, especially in computer programming, systems engineering, and statistics.
Google's Pixel 2 revealed ahead of unveiling next month
Google's Pixel 2 handsets have been leaked ahead on its unveiling on October 4th, it has been claimed. Droid Life claims to have images of the new handset, alongside a new mini wireless speaker, and images of an updated Daydream VR headset. Two versions of the handset will be launched, a Pixel and a Pixel XL. The LG-made Pixel 2 XL will come in a'Black & White' and'Just Black' colors and be available with 64GB or 128GB storage, according to the latest leaks The smaller Pixel 2 will be available in Kinda Blue, Just Black, and Clearly White, and will be sold with 64GB and 128GB of storage and priced at $649 and $749, respectively, according to the site. The larger LG-made Pixel 2 XL will come in a Black & White and Just Black colors and be available with 64GB or 128GB storage.
Automate This! Could autonomous robots put surgeons and pharmacists out of a job?
Welcome to the second instalment of'Automate This!,' a Day 6 series about the future of work in an artificially intelligent world. In 2011, Krista Jones was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. The next five years were a blur of doctor's visits and operations. "I think I saw seven doctors over that time period," Jones recalls. I was heading towards a double mastectomy, mostly out of fear for the fact that nobody could explain why [the tumours] were reoccurring." Jones' final treatment plan was built using algorithms and big data -- some of the precursors to today's A.I. technology. That plan made it possible for Jones to forgo a painful double mastectomy, and ultimately left her cancer-free. "Not only did it save my life but it left me whole in so many different ways," she says. "[It] avoided some of the scars, emotionally and physically, that most people who go through cancer treatment are left with." The treatment plan that helped Krista Jones beat a rare form of cancer was developed using machine learning algorithms and big data. She's seen the downsides of machine learning technologies, too. Her own son was forced to rethink his plan to become a radiologist after watching his career prospects dwindle thanks to automation. Still, Jones is convinced that artificial intelligence is the future of health care. "I think what we need to do is harness the good while regulating the bad," she says, "such that we don't get hung up and stop the development of life-saving treatments." "The only next step is now replacing those actual physical physicists and doctors that actually say: 'Yes, this is the right treatment plan'.
Google to take on Amazon with $49 mini smart speaker
Google is set to unveil a new mini smart speaker alongside its new Pixel handsets on October 4th, it is believed. According to Droid Life, the new Google Mini Home speaker, which will take on Amazon's tiny Echo Dot, will cost just $49 when it goes on sale - making the two the same price. It will use the same Google Assistant software as the larger Google home speaker, and be available in Chalk, Charcoal, and Coral colors. The Google Mini Home is expected to be unveiled on October 4th, and go on sale soon after. 'The Google Home Mini will be powered rather than wireless, at least according to the images here,' Droid Life said.
