Gene Chao is senior vice president and general manager, enterprise computing solutions, at Unisys. Whether you're a banker, a farmer or an Uber driver, technology is a cornerstone of your business. Adopting technology is not about having cool stuff. The value of technology is in how it's applied. That may involve applying technology to improve our daily lives, enhance a vehicle or other product, or rethink the way we run a business. C-level business leaders such as chief information officers, chief technology officers and chief financial officers must strive to understand that.

The scariest part of Halloween this year could be how much we're spending on it. American's are shelling out more than $10 billion – a whopping two billion dollars more than in 2020. We're buying up everything from "Squid Game" costumes and candy corn – both top Halloween searches via Google – to TikTok-trendy must-haves like vintage decorations, scary movies and even good old fashioned snail-mail greeting cards. If the high cost of it all is more trick than treat for you, here are several ways to turn your already smart home into a spook-tacularly genius haunted house. Protect your kids' privacy: Google tool lets minors pull images of themselves from search results An estimated one in every fourpeople in America own a smart speaker and 70% of those are Amazon Echo devices, according to analytics site eMarketer.

Today's deal will eliminate that hassle from your life. Amazon is selling the SharkNinja Shark IQ AV970 robot vacuum for $250. It's not clear when the sale price will end. This robovac features Wi-Fi, and the accompanying smartphone app allows you to set schedules or start a cleaning session. It also works with Amazon's Alexa and Google Assistant for activation via voice control.

Artificial Intelligence is slowly becoming the driving force behind much of the technology innovation of the 21st Century. Almost every industry is trying to find ways to use AI to supplement or even replace the human workforce. The processing power of AI and its consistent availability makes it a very valuable resource for many companies. Video Games: Video games hold one of the most advanced and practical AIs that are used at scale. Most video games allow you the ability to play against AI players, which are machines that can mimic and compete with real-life players.

Today's Article focuses primarily on the 3 Different Types of AI, Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI), Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI). Today, most experts and AI Practitioners agree that ANI is still a maturing science, AGI is at least a couple of decades away from maturity, and ASI is even farther off, possibly a century or two away. Siri, Cortana, and Google Assistant are all examples of narrow AI, but they are not good examples of a weak AI, as they operate within a limited pre-defined range of functions. They do not implement parts of minds; they use NLP together with predefined rules. They are not examples of strong AI as there is no actual intelligence or proper self-awareness.

AI technology is associated with making machines and related processes intelligent through the use of advanced computer programming solutions. The AI technology market is poised to grow at a robust pace driven by its increasing adoption in an expanding range of applications in varied industries. The growing need to analyze and interpret burgeoning volumes of data and the escalating demand for advanced AI solutions to improve customer services are expected to fuel growth in the AI market. With significant improvements being seen in data storage capacity, computing power and parallel processing capabilities, the adoption of AI technology in various end-use sectors is on the rise. The rising adoption of cloud-based services and applications, rapid growth of big data, and the increasing need for intelligent virtual assistants are also contributing to the rapid growth of AI market.

We consider the problem of generating rankings that are fair towards both users and item producers in recommender systems. We address both usual recommendation (e.g., of music or movies) and reciprocal recommendation (e.g., dating). Following concepts of distributive justice in welfare economics, our notion of fairness aims at increasing the utility of the worse-off individuals, which we formalize using the criterion of Lorenz efficiency. It guarantees that rankings are Pareto efficient, and that they maximally redistribute utility from better-off to worse-off, at a given level of overall utility. We propose to generate rankings by maximizing concave welfare functions, and develop an efficient inference procedure based on the Frank-Wolfe algorithm. We prove that unlike existing approaches based on fairness constraints, our approach always produces fair rankings. Our experiments also show that it increases the utility of the worse-off at lower costs in terms of overall utility.

Recently, interactive recommendation systems based on reinforcement learning have been attended by researchers due to the consider recommendation procedure as a dynamic process and update the recommendation model based on immediate user feedback, which is neglected in traditional methods. The existing works have two significant drawbacks. Firstly, inefficient ranking function to produce the Top-N recommendation list. Secondly, focusing on recommendation accuracy and inattention to other evaluation metrics such as diversity. This paper proposes a deep reinforcement learning based recommendation system by utilizing Actor-Critic architecture to model dynamic users' interaction with the recommender agent and maximize the expected long-term reward. Furthermore, we propose utilizing Spotify's ANNoy algorithm to find the most similar items to generated action by actor-network. After that, the Total Diversity Effect Ranking algorithm is used to generate the recommendations concerning relevancy and diversity. Moreover, we apply positional encoding to compute representations of the user's interaction sequence without using sequence-aligned recurrent neural networks. Extensive experiments on the MovieLens dataset demonstrate that our proposed model is able to generate a diverse while relevance recommendation list based on the user's preferences.
