bcr vidcast 108: 3 AI and ML predictions - Better Communication Results
G'day, I'm Lee Hopkins, and this is bcr vidcast edition 108. Three things to consider today: AI and the pharmaceutical industry; will AI kill off too many jobs? Pharmaceutical companies are adopting an'Us WITH Them' approach to AI. 'Augmented intelligence' is the catchphrase that Pamela Spence uses; Pamela is EY's global sector leader for life sciences. Data is being analysed by algorithms, then suggestions are made to human decision-makers. AI is not making decisions by itself.
The Two Sides of the Artificial Intelligence Coin
The growth of artificial intelligence in recent years has been astounding -- yet AI is still in the very early stages of growth. Where are we today with this new technology, and where are we heading? Which companies are struggling, and why? AI for years has been a staple of science fiction -- from the starship Enterprise's talking computer in Star Trek in the 1960s, to the bionic Steve Austin in The Six Million Dollar Man in the 1970s, to Arnold Schwarzenegger's time-traveling killer robot in the Terminator movies of the 1980s, to give just a few examples. Now AI has moved beyond sci-fi and become real, with all sorts of technologies.

How is Artificial Intelligence Reinventing The Mobile Healthcare Ecosystem?
The mobile health applications have taken the driver seat in the healthcare landscape that's making everything possible at the flick of the button effortlessly. Now, the AI technology integration is making the mHealth solutions- The Hospital of The Future. Yes, it's not a tale of a distant future where patients don't need to physically step inside the hospital to get the doctor consultation, while the virtual assistants on the mobile app book the appointment with the doctor on your behalf, design treatment plans for you after diagnosing the health, make advice for the speedy recovery along with a list of to Do's and Don'ts, even identify the errors in the medical test reports and so on. It sounds like a fiction, but in reality, it's not. Artificial intelligence is making the world so small that it can be encompassed in the palm of your hands.
That fancy Cortana thermostat now supports Alexa and Google Assistant
If you've been eying Johnson Controls' slick, Microsoft-backed GLAS thermostat ever since it was unveiled in 2017, it's finally close at hand -- and you won't have to rely on Cortana for voice control, either. The $319 climate controller will ship on August 24th with support both Amazon's Alexa and Google Assistant, helping it slip more gracefully into more smart home setups. This probably won't wound Microsoft's pride too much. It's aware that Cortana has just a small slice of the voice assistant market, and it's already getting cozy with Alexa on its own platforms. Apart from voice control, the star of the show is undoubtedly the thermostat's translucent OLED touchscreen.
Match Group, IAC Face Suit Over Tinder Valuation
Three of Tinder's founders and a handful of current executives say the popular dating app's parent companies cheated them out of as much as $2 billion by manipulating financial information to undermine its valuation, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday. The co-founders and executives claim that Match Group Inc. MTCH -0.21% and IAC/InterActiveCorp . IAC 0.18% hid projections of Tinder's rapid growth in order to reduce payments to the holders of stock options, which were based on the company's valuation. The suit, filed by 10 plaintiffs in New York Supreme Court, also says that Greg Blatt, a longtime executive of IAC who served as interim chief executive of Tinder, groped and sexually harassed Tinder's vice president of marketing and communications, Rosette Pambakian, during the Los Angeles-based company's 2016 holiday party. Mr. Blatt didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
The Emergence of AI Driving Revenue-related KPIs - ReadWrite
Some form of Artificial Intelligence (AI) project can now be found in most companies, with the remainder seeming to at least have several projects in a planning stage. If Marc Andreessen's now famous "software will eat the world" Wall Street Journal essay was on its way to being true when he wrote it seven years ago, the "eats the world" statement is equally true today regarding AI. AI, or at least something claiming to be AI, can be seen throughout the consumer and business landscape. Are the recommendation engines that power Amazon and Netflix suggestions AI? In Netflix's case, they made a move a few years ago to have their "you might like" recommendation based on analysis of content you've liked, instead of only on what you've watched.
Microsoft and Amazon made their voice assistants into friends. Here's how that relationship works.
Amazon.com and Microsoft have officially set up the friendship between their two voice assistants, Alexa and Cortana, a year after announcing the partnership to expand the reach and abilities of the competing assistants. But how does this relationship of rivals work? To talk to one assistant through the other, customers have to say either "Cortana, open Alexa" or "Alexa, open Cortana." From there, people can talk to the other assistant as usual. What they don't get is access to each others' data, according to statements from both companies Wednesday. Data collected from each assistant will be controlled by their respective companies -- and covered by their corresponding privacy policies.
People with regional accents are changing the way they talk so Alexa and Siri can understand
Britons with regional accents are having to change the way they talk so they can use voice recognition devices such as Alexa. A study found those fed up with repeating requests to devices – including Google Home, Amazon's Alexa, and Siri on the iPhone – have to use a more'standard' form of English instead. Some 79 per cent of those with regional accents regularly alter the way they speak just to be understood by their devices, according to the poll by the Life Science Centre museum in Newcastle upon Tyne. A study found those fed up with repeating requests to devices – including Google Home, Amazon's Alexa (pictured), and Siri on the iPhone – have to use a more'standard' form of English instead. Of the 444 visitors who completed the survey, 33 per cent said they changed the way they spoke'a lot', while 48 per cent expressed concern that use of voice recognition could'stamp out' regional accents.
