The AIOps Catalyst team's work has resulted in a new collaborative workstream focused around the topic within TM Forum. Artificial intelligence (AI) offers huge opportunities for communications service providers (CSPs) to do things better, faster and cheaper. In fact, they have no choice but to introduce AI into operations and business processes due to growing complexity and the sheer volume of data and transactions. However, as well as delivering huge benefits, the introduction of AI also creates new challenges relating to the management of services and processes. A TM Forum Catalyst team is taking a two-pronged approach, tackling both these areas simultaneously to ensure CSPs – and their customers – reap the rewards of AI.

In mid December, LinkedIn revealed that Artificial Intelligence (AI) Specialist was the top emerging job for 2020; this may not be of much surprise but it does beg the question of what AI specialists actually do, and what the job entails. What are the exact skills and knowledge businesses need from AI Specialists? Artificial Intelligence is a huge buzz word, and is discussed regularly in the media, sometimes conjuring images of robot workers and other futuristic scenarios. We want to break through the AI haze and confusion, and drill down on what AI actually is; if these specialists are so in demand this calendar year, what is it that they will actually be delivering for small business? Dynamic Business has previously explored what AI is, and today we are building on that understanding, with an interview from Jeff Olson, who is Head of Applied AI & Analytics for ANZ, Cognizant.

WIRED'S editors and writers will be at the annual consumer tech trade show all week seeking out the latest trends, products, services, oddities, and absurdities that will help set the tone for technology in 2020. As usual, our coverage comes with a caveat: Most of the new tech we see in Las Vegas won't ship right away, or possibly ever. But strip away all the glitz and hype, and CES remains a good opportunity to get a sense of how tech-makers are thinking about the coming months or years. Here's what the tech industry is buzzing about on the way to CES 2020. Even after all the talk about how it's going to change the way our devices connect to the internet and to each other, 5G was a bust at last year's CES.

This year, chip developer Qualcomm showed off its new Snapdragon Ride platform. The Qualcomm Snapdragon Ride is a car-based computer system that can outfit a vehicle with anything between Level 1 (parking assistance) and Level 5 (no human driver whatsoever) autonomy. At present, Qualcomm is working with almost every major auto manufacturer to bring these systems into consumer cars within the next few years. To learn how Snapdragon Ride works, I met with Qualcomm at CES 2020. The company briefed me on the technology, then gave me a firsthand demo of how the system might work in practice.

--This letter investigates a channel assignment problem in uplink wireless communication systems. Our goal is to maximize the sum rate of all users subject to integer channel assignment constraints. A convex optimization based algorithm is provided to obtain the optimal channel assignment, where the closed-form solution is obtained in each step. Due to high computational complexity in the convex optimization based algorithm, machine learning approaches are employed to obtain computational efficient solutions. More specifically, the data are generated by using convex optimization based algorithm and the original problem is converted to a regression problem which is addressed by the integration of convolutional neural networks (CNNs), feed-forward neural networks (FNNs), random forest and gated recurrent unit networks (GRUs). The results demonstrate that the machine learning method largely reduces the computation time with slightly compromising of prediction accuracy.

The advent of Artificial Intelligence into the world we live in is furiously gaining momentum, where products like Google Duplex, Amazon Alexa, and others are finding residence in more and more mobility applications. Everyday cars are becoming more and more technologically advanced. But, says Hedley Judd, National Director of the Tyre, Equipment, Parts Association (TEPA), an association of the Retail Motor Industry Organisation (RMI), this should not be intimidating but rather exciting news for motorists. The motor vehicle has an Engine Control Unit (ECU), Body Control Module (BCM), screens of different types, and of course the communication system to the outside world, either via a WIFI-linked hotspot or a Bluetooth link to the cell network. "The ECU and the BCM are both effectively computers with processors and memory that are programmed to function according to set rules depending on the external input from the engine or the vehicle via the driver. The screens referred to are the infotainment screen and nowadays in many vehicles the instrument cluster has become a computer-like screen as well. Finally, the communication language would be understandable to the drivers of today's vehicles."

Google's I/O 2018 asserts one thing – the next wave of smartphones will run on a generous amount of Artificial Intelligence. Even the recent Mobile World Congress (MWC) also had conversations that were largely revolving around Artificial Intelligence. Major smartphones makers, led by Apple, Google, Samsung, and many others are creating operating systems, mobile apps and even smartphone that have Artificial Intelligence at their core. McKinsey Global Institute estimates that the investments in Artificial Intelligence R&D made by tech giants by Google and Baidu to be in the range of $20 Billion to $30 Billion. In fact, Ai is ranked to be one among the 5 disruptive Technologies that are shaping up our future digital landscape.
