HARMAN participated at IBM's World of Watson event in Las Vegas to announce how we are integrating the cognitive technology capabilities of IBM Watson with HARMAN's powerful enterprise IOT solutions. Drawing on our extensive enterprise IOT solutions, HARMAN is providing the'central nervous system' to the IBM Watson'brain' for more intuitive, connected experiences in healthcare, hospitality and corporate settings. The result: voice enabled cognitive rooms by HARMAN. Mohit Parasher, executive vice president and president, Professional Solutions at HARMAN, participated on stage to discuss how HARMAN and IBM successfully tested a prototype voice-activated JBL speaker solution at Thomson Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia that allows patients to control their environment directly and answer questions with the goal of improving patient experiences and care. Eighty percent of physicians describe themselves as overextended or at capacity.

I'm sure you've heard by now, that artificial intelligence is coming to Human Resources. Of course, the manifold marketing materials and click baiting content dedicated to this growing, uh, phenomenon are predicated on the assumption that there was actual intelligence in the HR function to begin with. This point can probably be debated, which brings us to the larger question: why are we talking about AI in HR, anyways? The fact of the matter is, the problems most endemic to HR, the biggest challenges facing our profession are inherently the holes in even the most sophisticated AI solutions. Whether in reality or in speculative Science Fiction (or somewhere in between, like your provider's "product roadmap"), true AI is the HR Technology equivalent of tilting at windmills.

In information societies, operations, decisions and choices previously left to humans are increasingly delegated to algorithms, which may advise, if not decide, about how data should be interpreted and what actions should be taken as a result.1 Examples abound. Profiling and classification algorithms determine how individuals and groups are shaped and managed (Floridi, 2012). Recommendation systems give users directions about when and how to exercise, what to buy, which route to take, and who to contact (Vries, 2010: 81). Data mining algorithms are said to show promise in helping make sense of emerging streams of behavioural data generated by the'Internet of Things' (Portmess and Tower, 2014: 1). Online service providers continue to mediate how information is accessed with personalisation and filtering algorithms (Newell and Marabelli, 2015; Taddeo and Floridi, 2015). Machine learning algorithms automatically identify misleading, biased or inaccurate knowledge at the point of creation (e.g.

The capabilities of artificial intelligence and machine learning are accelerating, and many cybersecurity tasks currently performed by humans will be automated. There will still be plenty of work to go around so job prospects should remain good, especially for those who keep up with technology, broaden their skill sets, and get a better understanding of their company's business needs. Cybersecurity jobs won't go the way of telephone operators. Take, for example, Spain-based antivirus company Panda Security. When the company first started, there were a number of people reverse-engineering malicious code and writing signatures.

Image recognition has progressed in leaps and bound over the years. Not too long ago, a challenging recognition task involved asking an AI "Is there a human in this image?" More recently, however, the bar has been raised -- and a new research project carried out at the University of Maryland and University of Colorado has another recognition task in its sights: whether or not an AI can read comic books. In some ways, this is deeply ironic. For a long time, comics were dismissed as a junk medium for kids and barely-literate adults.

On the heels of a report showing the inefficacy of government-run cyber security, it's imperative to understand the limitations of your system and model. As that article shows, in addition to bureaucratic risk the government also needs to worry about gaming-the-bureaucracy risk! Government snafus aside, data science has enjoyed considerable success in the past few years. Despite this success, models can fail in surprising ways. Last year we saw how deep neural nets for image recognition fail on noisy data.

What is the difference between AI, Machine Learning, NLP, and Deep Learning? AI (Artificial intelligence) is a subfield of computer science that was created in the 1960s, and it was/is concerned with solving tasks that are easy for humans but hard for computers. In particular, a so-called Strong AI would be a system that can do anything a human can (perhaps without purely physical things). This is fairly generic and includes all kinds of tasks such as planning, moving around in the world, recognizing objects and sounds, speaking, translating, performing social or business transactions, creative work (making art or poetry), etc. NLP (Natural language processing) is simply the part of AI that has to do with language (usually written). Machine learning is concerned with one aspect of this: given some AI problem that can be described in discrete terms (e.g.
