AI reskilling: A solution to the worker crisis
We are excited to bring Transform 2022 back in-person July 19 and virtually July 20 - 28. Join AI and data leaders for insightful talks and exciting networking opportunities. By 2025, the World Economic Forum estimates that 97 million new jobs may emerge as artificial intelligence (AI) changes the nature of work and influences the new division of labor between humans, machines and algorithms. Specifically in banking, a recent McKinsey survey found that AI technologies could deliver up to $1 trillion of additional value each year. AI is continuing its steady rise and starting to have a sweeping impact on the financial services industry, but its potential is still far from fully realized. The transformative power of AI is already impacting a range of functions in financial services including risk management, personalization, fraud detection and ESG analytics.
3 Strategies To Redefine Your Executive Career Path With AI
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is disrupting businesses and job roles in every industry, causing concerns about long-term job security for low-skill manual jobs and management roles alike. To prepare for this AI-driven economy, many experienced managers and seasoned executives are turning to MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) to upskill in foundational data analytics and AI. This trend is unlikely to slow down anytime soon: The global MOOC market is expected to grow from $3.9 billion in 2018 to $20.8 billion by 2023, a CAGR of 40.1 percent. Business and technology-related courses make up 40 percent of these online courses. Many universities have also joined the drive to fill the AI leadership gap by offering high-touch executive education programs.
Building a culture of pioneering responsibly
As chief operating officer of one of the world's leading artificial intelligence labs, I spend a lot of time thinking about how our technologies impact people's lives โ and how we can ensure that our efforts have a positive outcome. This is the focus of my work, and the critical message I bring when I meet world leaders and key figures in our industry. For instance, it was at the forefront of the panel discussion on'Equity Through Technology' that I hosted this week at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Inspired by the important conversations taking place at Davos on building a greener, fairer, better world, I wanted to share a few reflections on my own journey as a technology leader, along with some insight into how we at DeepMind are approaching the challenge of building technology that truly benefits the global community. In 2000, I took a sabbatical from my job at Intel to visit the orphanage in Lebanon where my father was raised. For two months, I worked to install 20 PCs in the orphanage's first computer lab, and to train the students and teachers to use them.
Construct a biomedical knowledge graph with NLP
I have already demonstrated how to create a knowledge graph out of a Wikipedia page. However, since the post got a lot of attention, I've decided to explore other domains where using NLP techniques to construct a knowledge graph makes sense. In my opinion, the biomedical field is a prime example where representing the data as a graph makes sense as you are often analyzing interactions and relations between genes, diseases, drugs, proteins, and more. In the above visualization, we have ascorbic acid, also known as vitamin C, and some of its relations to other concepts. For example, it shows that vitamin C could be used to treat chronic gastritis.

Machine Learning and Reinforcement Learning in Finance
This course aims at providing an introductory and broad overview of the field of ML with the focus on applications on Finance. Supervised Machine Learning methods are used in the capstone project to predict bank closures. Simultaneously, while this course can be taken as a separate course, it serves as a preview of topics that are covered in more details in subsequent modules of the specialization Machine Learning and Reinforcement Learning in Finance. The goal of Guided Tour of Machine Learning in Finance is to get a sense of what Machine Learning is, what it is for and in how many different financial problems it can be applied to. The course is designed for three categories of students: Practitioners working at financial institutions such as banks, asset management firms or hedge funds Individuals interested in applications of ML for personal day trading Current full-time students pursuing a degree in Finance, Statistics, Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, Engineering or other related disciplines who want to learn about practical applications of ML in Finance Experience with Python (including numpy, pandas, and IPython/Jupyter notebooks), linear algebra, basic probability theory and basic calculus is necessary to complete assignments in this course.
lpSpikeCon: Enabling Low-Precision Spiking Neural Network Processing for Efficient Unsupervised Continual Learning on Autonomous Agents
Putra, Rachmad Vidya Wicaksana, Shafique, Muhammad
Recent advances have shown that SNN-based systems can efficiently perform unsupervised continual learning due to their bio-plausible learning rule, e.g., Spike-Timing-Dependent Plasticity (STDP). Such learning capabilities are especially beneficial for use cases like autonomous agents (e.g., robots and UAVs) that need to continuously adapt to dynamically changing scenarios/environments, where new data gathered directly from the environment may have novel features that should be learned online. Current state-of-the-art works employ high-precision weights (i.e., 32 bit) for both training and inference phases, which pose high memory and energy costs thereby hindering efficient embedded implementations of such systems for battery-driven mobile autonomous systems. On the other hand, precision reduction may jeopardize the quality of unsupervised continual learning due to information loss. Towards this, we propose lpSpikeCon, a novel methodology to enable low-precision SNN processing for efficient unsupervised continual learning on resource-constrained autonomous agents/systems. Our lpSpikeCon methodology employs the following key steps: (1) analyzing the impacts of training the SNN model under unsupervised continual learning settings with reduced weight precision on the inference accuracy; (2) leveraging this study to identify SNN parameters that have a significant impact on the inference accuracy; and (3) developing an algorithm for searching the respective SNN parameter values that improve the quality of unsupervised continual learning. The experimental results show that our lpSpikeCon can reduce weight memory of the SNN model by 8x (i.e., by judiciously employing 4-bit weights) for performing online training with unsupervised continual learning and achieve no accuracy loss in the inference phase, as compared to the baseline model with 32-bit weights across different network sizes.

K-12 Artificial Intelligence Market Set to Explode by 2024
The use of artificial intelligence in education is expected to explode to a worldwide market value of $6 billion over the next six years, with about 20 percent of that growth coming from applications for U.S. K-12 classrooms and consumers, according to a report by Global Market Insights. In fact, the U.S. education market combined--consisting of K-12, higher education and corporate training--represents more than half of that anticipated growth, reaching about $3.4 billion by 2024. Of that, about $1.2 billion is expected to come from K-12 uses, the Selbyville, Del.-based market research firm indicated. That's a far cry from where the nascent industry started. In 2017, artificial intelligence--broadly defined as the attempt to simulate intelligent behavior in computers that is similar to the functions of human behavior--accounted for more than $400 million among all education segments worldwide, including higher education and corporate training purposes, according to the study.
