5 ways that future A.I. assistants will take voice tech to the next level

#artificialintelligence

Since Siri debuted on the iPhone 4s back in 2011, voice assistants have gone from unworkable gimmick to the basis for smart speaker technology found in one in six American homes. "Before Siri, when I talked about [what I do] there were blank stares," Tom Hebner, head of innovation at Nuance Communications, which develops cutting edge A.I. voice technology, told Digital Trends. "People would say, 'Do you build those horrible phone systems? That was one group of people's only interaction with voice technology." According to eMarketer forecasts, almost 100 million smartphone users will be using voice assistants by 2020.


90 Startups Using AI In Healthcare

These startups are applying AI to discover new drugs, remotely monitor patients, securely transfer patient data, and more. Healthcare has become a crucial area for artificial intelligence research and applications. Startups in the space are leveraging AI technology to help individual consumers, clinicians, and hospital systems improve everything from fitness to clinical trials to diagnostics. For example, consumers are adopting virtual assistants to inquire about symptoms and using applications to track fitness metrics. Meanwhile, radiologists are using computer vision to discern between malignant and benign cells, while hospital systems are deploying AI-driven software to analyze the financial risk of individual patients on behalf of insurers.


Top Machine Learning Applications in Everyday Life Scenario

AI-Assisted Digital Assistants Really Work

#artificialintelligence

Black & Veatch, an employee-owned, global leader in building critical human infrastructure in energy, water, telecommunications, and government services, is on a journey to leverage AI-assisted bots, called virtual experts, to better capture and interact with engineering knowledge and standards. The goal of this emerging effort is to experiment with ways to better capture knowledge and expertise within the company. Ultimately, this initiative would lead to a reduced amount of time required to locate desired information and create an opportunity for continued innovation to better support the future. Knowledge and standards were generally captured in written form, which led to an abundance of Microsoft Word documents that were difficult to search and a burden to continually refresh. Up to this point, access to content was through best practice document and folder organization and traditional search functions.


Smart homes are becoming more popular. Here's how to make sure yours is working

USATODAY - Tech Top Stories

Question: Is there a way for me to reboot my Wi-Fi network when I'm on vacation so I can reconnect to all of my smart home devices? Answer: The popularity of smart home devices has put a whole new emphasis on having a solid Internet connection at home. Web cams, motion sensing lights and your perimeter monitoring devices can't alert you if they lose their connection to your network. You've probably seen how rebooting your computer can solve lots of simple issues. The same holds true for your router and Internet modem because they're essentially small computer systems.


Scientists Came Up With 1,000 Questions That Stump Computers

#artificialintelligence

In 2011, America's favorite quiz show, Jeopardy!, exposed viewers to what was for many their first brush with artificial intelligence when IBM's Watson faced off against two of the show's greatest champions, Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter. Watson stumbled a bit on the first day but dominated day two and ended the three-round competition with more than three times its opponents' winnings. "I, for one, welcome our new computer overlords," Jennings wrote on his video screen after Watson's win. While artificial intelligence has developed tremendously since then and AI assistants like Siri and Alexa have proliferated in our pockets and homes, there are still plenty of scenarios where these assistants don't seem so smart. A team of researchers at the University of Maryland capitalized on this in an article published in the 2019 issue of the journal Transactions of the Association for Computational Linguistics, creating a set of questions that stumped computers in order to learn more about how they think -- and perhaps teach them to think even better.


12 Examples of Artificial Intelligence

#artificialintelligence

While examples of artificial intelligence are numerous across business, AI is still often perceived to be a nascent, still emerging force. In fact, AI is widely deployed. It is critical to the tech platforms of many businesses, across finance and retail and healthcare and media. AI and deep learning examples are so myriad, in fact, that choosing the representative AI example below was a matter of picking among the excess. While the examples of AI below are very different from one another, they all share one common trait: the more data they are fed, the more they learn.
