Saildrone Explorer unmanned surface vessels (USV) operate with USS Delbert D. Black (DDG-119) on Oct. 7, 2022. The Navy is thinking about artificial intelligence in two ways: the infrastructure to make unmanned systems work and technology meant to enhance how sailor and their commanders make decisions, a panel of technical and policy experts said Tuesday. The output provided by AI is there help the human or supplement manned operations with unmanned assets, said Brett Vaughan, Navy Chief AI Officer, speaking at the U.S. Naval Institute on Tuesday. A human will always be in the loop and play a central role. "By and large, the AI is there to augment and provide a human decision maker a range of options and recommendations," Vaughan said.

While 2018 saw the artificial intelligence sales revolution beginning to gain momentum, the applications were limited. In 2018, the percentage increased by a mere 2% to 53% adoption. This year, artificial intelligence will increasingly play a vital role in sales organizations. One of the most profound implications will be in the context of CRMs. CRMs have long struggled to gain the favor of sales professionals.

In a 2015 interview, Bill Gates imagined a world where Artificially Intelligent Tutoring Systems (AITS) have transformed learning. He spoke of AI-powered tutors offering a personalized approach for each student. They could work with a kid struggling to wrap his head around algebra while his classmates moved on to something more advanced; they could work with a grandmother determined to learn a new language. These systems wouldn't replace teachers. Rather, they'd enhance human teachers' abilities to tailor lessons to each student without knocking their class schedule off track.

We don't have to wait for the patient to get sick and present themselves anymore. Now, we can intervene before they end up in the ED or go to see the specialist. Illness is usually detectable to an algorithm before it is detectible to a patient. The fact that we wait long enough for someone to acknowledge that they should get some help is an artifact of the traditional notions we have about healthcare.

From categorization to standardization, artificial intelligence promises to upend retail's present and future, starting with big data. There's something the apparel retail industry doesn't want to talk about. Consumers are spending less on clothing. It doesn't take an analyst to spot that this is problematic for retailers. To make matters worse, rent prices are rising, product cycles are getting shorter and fast-fashion retailers -- with their low prices and enviably speedy reactions -- are eating up market share.

"We move from being kings of process to kings of decisions," Douglas Nicol founder of chatbot service On Message said about the artificial intelligence opportunities for marketers at an IAA and Mumbrella panel discussion this morning. "My criticism of the world of marketing is we have become too obsessed by process so consequently we've lost sight of our jobs as marketers. I think AI is always best in terms of the problems it solves and I think the exciting think in the marketing world is it takes away a lot of the process and allows us to focus on our jobs." Nicol was speaking at the'Artificial intelligence just got real' panel held by the International Advertising Association (IAA) and Mumbrella on how AI promises to change marketing along with almost every other industry. Kirsten Riolo, the director of social exchange at researcher Ipsos, agreed with Nicol on AI's impact on business: "A lot of the grunt work is being assisted by these machine learning tools. It enables us to take on the issues and really tease them out. "For us it means we are able to put our researcher hats on and think more around what are the problems we are working on with our clients," she continued. "We can use machine learning to get through the datasets, to get to the issue and work more around strategic issues at play than spending inordinate amounts of time on data" Asia Pacific technical executive for IBM Watson, Dev Mookerjee, said the changes occurring in marketing have already been seen in consumer behaviour, citing how Uber and AirBnB have been embraced despite initial privacy and safety concerns. "I have just come to a new city, with no idea about the city," Mookerjee said. "I have got into the car of a person I've never before met, I trust this person who takes me to someone else's house – who I've never met before and I'm going to live in that person's house.

Artificial intelligence can boost corporate profits by 38 percent by 2035, according to an Accenture report that gauges AI's economic impact across various industries. The report noted that AI could boost gross value added across 16 industries in 12 economies by about $14 trillion. Accenture's research team developed the report with Frontier Economics. When AI is integrated into the economy, growth rates can grow about 1.7 percent higher than the baseline. By industry, information and communication will get an AI growth rate boost of 4.8 percent by 2035, followed by manufacturing at 4.4 percent and financial services at 4.3 percent.
