AI's growing impact

Smart machines are giving storytellers and risk managers alike a helping hand. Burgeoning data analyzed by ever more intelligent machines are opening pathways to surprising applications and providing solutions to problems that have been out of reach. In the film industry, machines "watch" movies and videos, charting their emotional intensity and giving content creators clues about to how to make stories more appealing. And in banking, AI's ability to detect anomalies among millions of transactions helps bank risk officers eliminate false positives that are a drain on productivity. For a growing number of industries, AI is tilting the playing field--you'll need to understand how before your competitors do. Machine-learning models can help screenwriters and directors fine-tune scripts and imagery.
