Trauma prevalence is vast globally. Evidence-based digital treatments can help, but most require human guidance. Human guides provide tailored instructions and responsiveness to internal cognitive states, but limit scalability. Can generative AI and neurotechnology provide a scalable alternative? Here we test ANTIDOTE, combining AI guidance and pupillometry to automatically deliver and monitor an evidence-based digital treatment, specifically the Imagery Competing Task Intervention (ICTI), to reduce intrusive memories after psychological trauma. One hundred healthy volunteers were exposed to videos of traumatic events and randomly assigned to an intervention or active control condition. As predicted, intervention participants reported significantly fewer intrusive memories over the following week. Post-hoc assessment against clinical rubrics confirmed the AI guide delivered the intervention successfully. Additionally, pupil size tracked intervention engagement and predicted symptom reduction, providing a candidate biomarker of intervention effectiveness. These findings open a path toward rigorous AI-guided digital interventions that can scale to trauma prevalence.

Resource limitations make it hard to provide all students with one of the most effective educational interventions: personalized instruction. Reinforcement learning could be a key tool to reduce the development cost and improve the effectiveness of intelligent tutoring software that aims to provide the right support, at the right time, to a student. Here we illustrate that deep reinforcement learning can be used to provide adaptive pedagogical support to students learning about the concept of volume in a narrative storyline software. Using explainable artificial intelligence tools, we extracted interpretable insights about the pedagogical policy learned and demonstrated that the resulting policy had similar performance in a different student population. Most importantly, in both studies, the reinforcement-learning narrative system had the largest benefit for those students with the lowest initial pretest scores, suggesting the opportunity for AI to adapt and provide support for those most in need.


Spotify Debuts a New AI DJ, Right in Your Pocket

#artificialintelligence

The popular music platform Spotify is launching a new AI-powered feature, empowering users to have their own personal DJ on their mobile phones. Spotify is a music application that offers a personalized navigation experience to the user. It is even considered particularly effective in this. Its functions, such as Discover Weekly or Wrapped, help everyone listen to and discover songs that belong to their musical tastes. Now, Spotify will take this usage one step further.

AI Guide for Businesses Created by CompTIA Artificial Intelligence Advisory Council

#artificialintelligence

As more companies explore the viability of adding artificial intelligence into their business processes, a new resource from CompTIA, the nonprofit association for the information technology (IT) industry and workforce, offers guidance, answers questions and provides information to help in the decision-making process. "Artificial Intelligence in Business: Top Considerations Before Implementing AI" was produced by the CompTIA Artificial Intelligence Advisory Council, a group of thought leaders and innovators committed to accelerating the adoption of AI and machine learning technologies. "AI is already prevalent in many business processes and applications used daily, and there are almost limitless other opportunities where it can be utilized," said Annette Taber, senior vice president for industry outreach and relations at CompTIA. "However, AI processes are complex. The key to a successful deployment is asking the right questions and understanding what's involved before making any investments."

"However, AI processes are complex. The key to a successful deployment is asking the right questions and understanding what's involved before making any investments." The guide identifies more than two dozen factors that should be thoroughly considered and addressed by business decision makers and AI practitioners.


Minister sets out plan for new technologies to transform public services

#artificialintelligence

A plan for how the government can harness new technologies to transform public services has been set out by the Minister for Implementation, Oliver Dowden. In a speech at the start of London Tech Week today (10 June), the Minister launched a new guide to help government embrace artificial intelligence and an online marketplace to support tech start-ups sell to the public sector. These measures accompany a new Technology Innovation Strategy, setting out the government's approach to enabling widespread adoption of new technologies across the public sector. The new AI Guide will be used across government to help departments implement new opportunities for AI, such as how to make cancer diagnosis more reliable and reduce fraud, in an ethical and safe way. The guide also brings together, for the first time, research on how artificial intelligence is already being used by the public sector to save money and improve services.


The Complete Guide to Artificial Intelligence for Kids

#artificialintelligence

On top of the printed / ebook AI guide, if we can get the campaign to $4000, I will create a high quality video readthrough of the guide. Do you sometimes wonder how to best prepare your kids for an uncertain and technology-filled future? Does all the talk about STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths), STEAM (the A is Art), STREAM (the R is robotics), artificial intelligence, automation and coding sometimes seem overwhelming? If you answered yes to any of the questions above, then you're not alone. Many teachers, parents and carers regularly have these thoughts.


A machine learning and AI guide for enterprises in the cloud

#artificialintelligence

AI technologies, including machine learning, give enterprises more insight into their data, streamline IT management tasks and provide a number of other benefits. Machine learning achieves these benefits by finding patterns in enterprise data sets and predicting possible outcomes -- all without the need for human intervention, which frees up admins for other tasks. Machine learning and AI services from major public cloud providers, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Azure and Google, make these technologies more accessible to enterprises. But before jumping in, organizations need to ensure that they have the necessary IT skill sets, carefully evaluate their service options and then implement them effectively. Use this guide to tackle some of those challenges and to get started with machine learning and AI cloud services in your organization.
