Fox News correspondent Matt Finn has the latest on the impact of AI technology that some say could outpace humans on'Special Report.' Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt said the tech industry will face a "reckoning" over artificial intelligence, comparing the potential dangers of the technology to the risks associated with social media when the platforms were first rolled out years ago. "What happened with social media is we, including myself, just offered social media because we had a simple model of how humans would use social media. But, instead, look at how social media was used to interfere in elections, to cause harm. People have died over social media," Schmidt told ABC News on Sunday.

Veryfi, using artificial intelligence (AI) technology to transform documents into structured data in just seconds, has announced continued strong business momentum and growth in the second quarter. As economic concerns increase, many companies begin to reduce their staff to control costs; 88 percent of job loss in routine occupations occurs within 12 months of a recession. While economic uncertainty continues, Veryfi has emerged as a trusted, reliable partner for companies seeking greater efficiency and stronger customer relationships, continuing its strong annual recurring revenue (ARR) growth. In the second quarter, Veryfi added over a dozen new logos and major accounts including a top supplier of enterprise resource planning software and one of the world's largest CRM/Direct Marketing Network companies. "As companies seek new ways to increase efficiency and manage costs to position themselves for a challenging economy, Veryfi is leading the way, applying AI to automate routine data entry and streamline business processes," said Ernest Semerda, co-founder and CEO of Veryfi.

Leica Microsystems of Wetzlar, Germany, markets Digital Image Hub Enterprise, its clinical workflow software for digital pathology. It provides image management, integration, and communication capabilities in conjunction with the client viewer, SlidePath Gateway. Digital Image Hub Enterprise utilizes slide barcodes to identify and automatically consolidate multiple slides within a case into a work list. Pathologists can also view their digital slides through internet browsers and on an iPad, allowing access anytime and anywhere.

If you've used Google Maps, you've experienced artificial intelligence ( AI) firsthand. It's a prime example of how AI technology today enables computers to take on tasks formerly reserved solely for humans -- such as reading a map. In this case, Google uses historical and real-time data to visualize current traffic patterns and then applies AI to predict future traffic flow, with the objective to plot the quickest route to a destination. Three important trends have made recent advancements in AI possible: big data collection, reduced computing costs, and improvements in algorithms. Data these days are easy to collect and cheap to store, while the advent of cloud computing has made it much more affordable to crunch all that data.

There's no doubt that artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming a key part of our lives as the technology finds its way into more and more real-world applications. In fact, the massive spurt in real-world AI use across several verticals -- including business services, healthcare, and automotive -- could boost AI revenue from just $3.2 billion in 2016 to almost $90 million by 2025, according to Tractica. There are several ways to buy into the AI market, with tech giants like NVIDIA and Alphabet among the top picks. AI deployment requires storage and processing of large amounts of data. For instance, self-driving cars that run with the help of AI gather data from several sensors and cameras, this data is then processed on the vehicle itself or is sent to the cloud.

Predictions about the economic impact of artificial intelligence swing from increased productivity to the complete annihilation of industries. Clearly, nobody really knows how the introduction of autonomous decision-making software is going to shape our world. But there are some early reasons for optimism: new jobs are already being created due to the AI boom, according to Nov. 16 research from Glassdoor Economic Research, a website that analyzes the labor market. The most common new AI-related job is AI software engineer, comprising 11% of Glassdoor's 512 AI-related job postings. However, new professions are also emerging, some less technical and more AI-adjacent.

NASA's Earth Exchange used a deep learning algorithm on satellite images to figure out the amount of land covered by trees across the United States. That information could improve scientists' understanding of American ecosystems, plus how to most accurately model climate change's effects on our planet.

Canada's fast-growing artificial intelligence industry has received another shot in the arm. Element AI, a Montreal-based startup, has raised $137.5 million in what Element is calling the "largest Series A funding round for an artificial intelligence company in history." Element has previously described itself as an artificial intelligence startup incubator, with the company hoping to build AI businesses from research being done at leading Canadian schools, including the Université de Montréal, where Element Co-Founder Yoshua Bengio teaches. "We have this lead and we have built a huge group here in Montreal that's now attracting industry, startups, new companies like Element AI -- it's amazing how much things are moving and how much energy there is," Bengio told BNN in a recent television interview from the C2 tech conference in Montreal. Famous investor Mark Cuban thinks so.
