Deloitte Introduces ReadyAI Artificial Intelligence-as-a-Service Solution
Deloitte introduced ReadyAI, a full portfolio of capabilities and services to help organizations accelerate and scale their artificial intelligence (AI) projects. ReadyAI brings together skilled AI specialists and managed services in a flexible AI-as-a-service model designed to help clients scale AI throughout their organizations. The AI market is expected to exceed $191 billion by 2024, growing at 37% compound annual growth rate.

Creating and sustaining AI models at scale typically requires people with capabilities across data science, IT operations and user experience (UX) who work seamlessly towards a common goal.
Ethics-Based Auditing to Develop Trustworthy AI
Mokander, Jakob, Floridi, Luciano
A series of recent developments points towards auditing as a promising mechanism to bridge the gap between principles and practice in AI ethics. Building on ongoing discussions concerning ethics-based auditing, we offer three contributions. First, we argue that ethics-based auditing can improve the quality of decision making, increase user satisfaction, unlock growth potential, enable law-making, and relieve human suffering. Second, we highlight current best practices to support the design and implementation of ethics-based auditing: To be feasible and effective, ethics-based auditing should take the form of a continuous and constructive process, approach ethical alignment from a system perspective, and be aligned with public policies and incentives for ethically desirable behaviour. Third, we identify and discuss the constraints associated with ethics-based auditing. Only by understanding and accounting for these constraints can ethics-based auditing facilitate ethical alignment of AI, while enabling society to reap the full economic and social benefits of automation.

In fact, according to a recent Accenture report, 7% of organizations (considered'future-ready') are around twice as efficient and three times as profitable as their peers. So how have these companies shot so far ahead of the rest, and what does this mean for organizational structures and employment as we transition into a more digitized future?

Artificial intelligence, jeopardises employment
Do millennials face economic uncertainty in the future? As employment increasing become more automated, McKinsey & Company (Global management consultants) predicts that, "60% of all work activities could be automated by 2055". As far back as the 16th century, mechanisation was introduced in the form of looms, that were used to weave the material used for stockings and rugs. However, Queen Elizabeth I, was very reluctant to encourage this industry as she felt that "stocking knitters" would become redundant in this field. By the 19th century, textile workers were facing life changing inventions, as the Industrial Revolution became the catalyst to transform economies based on steam-powered machines.
Only 6% of companies have adopted AI, study finds
In a new survey of over 700 C-suite executives and IT decision-makers examining AI adoption in the enterprise, Juniper Networks found that 95% of respondents believe their organization would benefit from embedding AI into their daily operations. However, only 6% of those respondents reported adoption of AI-powered solutions across their business. The findings agree with other surveys showing that, despite enthusiasm around AI, companies struggle to deploy AI-powered services in production. Enterprise use of AI grew a whopping 270% over the past several years, Gartner recently reported, while Deloitte says 62% of respondents to its corporate October 2018 study adopted some form of AI, up from 53% in 2019. But adoption doesn't always meet with success, as the roughly 25% of businesses that have seen half their AI projects fail will tell you.
Unlock New Levels of Innovation and Business Agility with Intelligent Automation
As companies continue to pivot and adapt in response to the pandemic, more of them have turned toward automation, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML)--the trifecta behind intelligent automation--to help them streamline their business processes and better prepare for future "what if" scenarios. In a recent refresh of its Automating with Intelligence study, Deloitte saw a significant uptick in the adoption of intelligent automation in 2020, with 73 percent starting their intelligent automation journey--a 15 percent increase over 2019. Of those, 37 percent are piloting (1–10 automations), 23 percent are implementing (11–50 automations), and 13 percent are scaling (51 automations). According to the study, companies deploying new intelligent automation initiatives expect a 15 percent revenue increase in the targeted areas and a 24 percent average cost reduction over the next three years. The number of organizations deploying at scale nearly doubled, and Deloitte expects a bigger return on investment versus the 2019 study.

Driven by the wide availability of cloud-based computing power, storage capacity, and easy-to-use AI toolsets, the normalization of AI and ML continues at a rapid pace.
Freelancing, Self-Learning, and the Importance of Choosing Your Projects Wisely
I was at work as a postman. I hated my job, but I had to do it to fund my way through college. Whenever I was on my post walks, I'd listen to interviews of people I admired. One day, I just so happened to be listening to a Bill Gates interview, and someone from the audience asked him what he'd be doing if he hadn't created Microsoft. He responded along the lines of "I'd be testing the limits with Natural Language data," and that he'd be an AI researcher.
