Automation is usually associated with machines. But it's office jobs that are most under threat

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence and automation are seeping into our daily working lives -- and female office workers are among those whose jobs are being taken over by machines. That's according to new research provided to ABC News by an Australian teaching organisation that's urging people to upskill so they don't find themselves out of work. Pearson's research looks at roles that are likely to be automated as technology advances. Historically, much of the conversation when it comes to automation has been about robots taking over factory jobs, or even replacing retail assistants in the form of self-service check-outs at supermarkets. Pearson's data also shows the less obvious pictures of automation encroaching into office environments, including for medical receptionists, accountants and personal assistants.

Amazon's Echo Show 10 is on sale for $200 right now

Engadget

The retailer has also discounted the Echo Show 10. After a 20 percent price drop, the device is $200, down from $250. Both the Charcoal and Glacier White colors are included in the company's latest promotion. We saw Amazon discount the Echo Show 10 to $180 during Prime Day in July, making this the best price we've seen since then. Alongside the Echo Show 15, The Echo Show 10 is one of the more unusual products in Amazon's smart display lineup. Engadget awarded the device a score of 83 in 2021.

Artificial Superintelligence: Coordination & Strategy: Yampolskiy, Roman V, Duettmann, Allison: 9783039218547: Amazon.com: Books

#artificialintelligence

Attention in the AI safety community has increasingly started to include strategic considerations of coordination between relevant actors in the field of AI and AI safety, in addition to the steadily growing work on the technical considerations of building safe AI systems. This shift has several reasons: Multiplier effects, pragmatism, and urgency. Given the benefits of coordination between those working towards safe superintelligence, this book surveys promising research in this emerging field regarding AI safety. On a meta-level, the hope is that this book can serve as a map to inform those working in the field of AI coordination about other promising efforts. While this book focuses on AI safety coordination, coordination is important to most other known existential risks (e.g., biotechnology risks), and future, human-made existential risks.

The 9 Trends Defining eCommerce AI in 2022 & 2023

#artificialintelligence

Today, artificial intelligence (AI) has become an irreplaceable part of how we shop and do business on the web. It's a key component of the underlying infrastructure that brands and retailers rely on to engage customers, track trends, make better business decisions, and provide the most optimal, personalized customer experiences possible. Here are the top nine trends in eCommerce AI that you can expect to see in 2022 and 2023. AI voice assistants like Amazon's Alexa, Apple's Siri, and Google Assistant have become household names used by millions of people worldwide. In fact, 27% of shoppers took advantage of voice assistants to make online purchases in 2020, accounting for $40 billion of revenue in the U.S. and the UK alone.


Canada: twelve new AI projects and $50M investment for SCALE AI - Actu IA

#artificialintelligence

Canadian supercluster based in Montreal, SCALE AI acts as an investment and innovation hub to accelerate the adoption and rapid integration of AI in Canada. This Monday, August 22, it unveiled twelve new projects aimed at optimizing production and transportation through AI. With the goal of addressing critical challenges currently facing supply chains, including the impact of the pandemic, labor shortages, and environmental requirements, it will provide $50 million in unprecedented financial support. Funded by the federal and Quebec governments, SCALE AI brings together the retail, manufacturing, transportation, infrastructure and information and communications technology (ICT) sectors to build smart supply chains. The supercluster has nearly 500 industrial partners, research institutions and other AI players with whom it develops programs to support investment projects by companies implementing concrete AI applications.


AWS Deep Learning Challenge sees innovative and impactful use of Amazon EC2 DL1 instances

#artificialintelligence

In the AWS Deep Learning Challenge held from January 5, 2022, to March 1, 2022, participants from academia, startups, and enterprise organizations joined to test their skills and train a deep learning model of their choice using Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) DL1 instances and Habana's SynapseAI SDK. The EC2 DL1 instances powered by Gaudi accelerators from Habana Labs, an Intel company, are designed specifically for training deep learning models. Participants were able to realize the significant price/performance benefits that DL1 offers over GPU-based instances. We are excited to announce the winners and showcase some of the machine learning (ML) models that were trained in this hackathon. You will learn about some of the deep learning use cases that are supported by EC2 DL1 instances, including computer vision, natural language processing, and acoustic modeling.
