5 Practical (and Unpretentious) Ways AI Will Change Marketing by 2020
If you have a Google Analytics account, test it out free here. By 2018, Gartner predicts that 20 percent of all business content will be authored by machines. I wanted to find out more about Quill, so I reached out to Narrative Science, the company that makes the solution. Narrative Science helps enterprises use natural language generation to analyze and tell stories from their data. "We hear all the time that content is king--but what's really helping many of our customers is that AI can help automate a lot of high-quality content at scale," Katy De Leon, Narrative Science's VP of marketing, told me via a Skype interview.
How Today's Jungle of Artificial Intelligence Will Spawn Sentience
From time to time, the Singularity Hub editorial team unearths a gem from the archives and wants to share it all over again. It's usually a piece that was popular back then and we think is still relevant now. This is one of those articles. It was originally published August 10, 2010. We hope you enjoy it!
The future of robotics and artificial intelligence in Europe
I would like to thank the European Parliament for the invitation to speak at this seminar on a topic which is at the heart of the European Commission's activities, especially those of the Directorate-General I represent, DG Connect. Let me first state that we greatly appreciate and welcome the publication of the report of the European Parliament Legal Affairs Committee. Given the great public attention currently devoted to robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) this report is very timely and points at some crucial issues that need to be addressed. It highlights the opportunities robotics and AI offer and points towards the clear need for a coherent European approach and for Europe to have a strong presence and investment in this technology in order to maintain leadership in it. Many aspects of the report are directly in line with the Digitising European Industry strategy we launched in April 2016.
Pikazo Uses Artificial Intelligence to Turn Pics into Masterpieces - iQ by Intel
The Pikazo app uses a special neural algorithm to transform snapshots into works of art. Many children are natural-born artists, creating crayon masterpieces that their parents hang on their refrigerators. As they become adults they often lose the freedom to express themselves in art. When a coworker says she's spending the weekend painting, most people assume she's painting her house. That innate talent is something artificial intelligence (AI) designers built into the Pikazo app, which allows mobile phone shutterbugs to fuse their photos with masterpiece patterns to create unique pieces of digital art.
Adaptive artificial intelligence must for smart cities
HYDERABAD: For India's smart city initiative to succeed there is a need to build artificial intelligence (AI) systems that are adaptive in nature. This was the theme set at the "Artificial intelligence and society" symposium held at International Institute of Technology (IIIT) on Saturday. "The first computer came to India in 1964. We have moved a long way from there. In 1968 we went for government permission to use computers in Mumbai electrical grid, it took us one year to negotiate and implement. We were among the first countries to do it," said FC Kohli, founder of Tata Consultancy Services (TCS).

Why machine learning is critical to multi-touch attribution
Until six or seven years ago, econometric models offered the best way to measure multi-touch attribution. These methodologies, like MMM (marketing mix modeling), turned statistical analyses into predictions and answers to high-level questions: How much revenue is generated from each channel? How much do I need to spend in each channel to optimize my mix? Econometric models rely on complex information and assumptions by human experts, and these models did (and still do) provide valuable insight into big-picture forecasts. Two recent shifts, however, have necessitated a new way to address multi-touch attribution: big data and user-level analysis.
Microsoft tries again in healthcare, this time with cloud, AI
Microsoft Corp. is trying again in health care, betting its prowess in cloud services and artificial-intelligence can help it expand in a market that's been notoriously hard for technology companies. A new initiative called Healthcare NExT will combine work from existing industry players and Microsoft's Research and AI units to help doctors reduce data entry tasks, triage sick patients more efficiently and ease outpatient care. "I want to bring our research capabilities and our hyper-scale cloud to bear so our partners can have huge success in the health-care world," said Peter Lee, a Microsoft Research vice president who heads Healthcare NExT. Microsoft has tried to expand in health care before, with mixed results. It had a Health Solutions Group for many years, but combined that into a joint venture with General Electric Co.

Gartner 2015 Hype Cycle: Big Data is Out, Machine Learning is in
Autonomous vehicles, their placement is shown to have shifted from pre-peak 2014 to peak 2015 of the Hype Cycle. According to Gartner, "while autonomous vehicles(like driverless cars) are still embryonic, this movement still represents a significant advancement, with all major automotive companies putting autonomous vehicles on their near-term roadmaps". Internet of Things (Network of Intelligent objects around us coordinating activities) remains consistently almost at the Peak in both years. It is thought of as the most disruptive technology in decades once widely deployed. Natural Language Process Question Answering, last year's winner, is on its slide down to the Trough.
