Later this year, millions of Apple devices will begin running Apple Intelligence, Cupertino's take on generative AI that, among other things, lets people create images from text prompts. But some members of the creative community are unhappy about what they say is the company's lack of transparency around the raw information powering the AI model that makes this possible. "I wish Apple would have explained to the public in a more transparent way how they collected their training data," Jon Lam, a video games artist and a creators' rights activist based in Vancouver, told Engadget. "I think their announcement could not have come at a worse time." Creatives have historically been some of the most loyal customers of Apple, a company whose founder famously positioned it at the "intersection of technology and liberal arts."

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) technologies continue to expand in their applications, uses and benefits for lenders and financial institutions. Because of this maturity and expanded adoption rate, AI/ML is helping to solve highly complex solutions that generate positive ROI across business segments. A majority of financial services providers and lenders acknowledge they are deploying these technologies across their businesses to support areas such as risk management, reducing friction in loan origination departments, income and verification controls, fraud reduction, and the compliance and auditing processes. Ultimately, financial services providers continue to strive toward lowering the cost of credit using AI/ML for real-time transparency, greater financial inclusivity, and improved compliance. Conversational chatbots help lenders interact with customers in a more conversational way. Consumers desire the same level of customer service they receive from leading tech-forward companies like Amazon, Netflix and Lyft.

Machine learning is a promising technology for improving the customer experience. Why? It’s simple: because it can predict customer behaviors. Prediction as a capability is the Holy Grail for foreseeing each customer need and personalizing products and services accordingly. From the consumer’s perspective, when ML’s ethical pitfalls are avoided, prediction can be the ultimate antidote to the information overload that we all face every day. By deploying ML to predict which content is most relevant for each individual, customers can receive better recommendations, less junk mail, very little inbox spam, and higher quality search results, among many other things. These improvements to customer experience aren’t only a nice-to-have, pleasant side-effect of profit-driven ML deployments. They pursue the raison d’etre of any company — to serve customers — and will ultimately translate into further benefits for the business. After all, a happier customer is a more loyal customer, and a higher customer retention rate means a higher customer growth rate.

OpenAI is ready to start capitalizing on ChatGPT's buzz. On Wednesday, the firm announced it will offer a pilot $20-a-month subscription version of the chatbot called ChatGPT Plus, which gives priority access to users during peak time and faster responses. The free version remains available but is so popular that it is often at capacity or slow to give responses. In a clear push for commercialization, OpenAI also said it will roll out an API waitlist, different paid tiers, and business plans. OpenAI, it seems, believes enterprises will be willing to pay for its chatbot's capabilities.

The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) launches tomorrow, January 5th, the first time the world's largest technology exhibition has been properly running for two years. If you're not 100% sure CES is, it's a global tech trade show organized by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), held every year (apart from when Covid messes it up) in Las Vegas, Nevada. It's widely considered one of, if not the, influential technology trade show in the world. The show attracts companies and professionals from around the globe, showcasing the latest and greatest in consumer electronics, including smartphones, laptops, TVs, home appliances, and much more. CES also features keynote speeches, panel discussions, and other events, giving attendees the opportunity to learn about the latest trends and innovations in the technology industry.

How your business can improve the skills of its talent to take greater advantage of AI. There's no doubt that artificial intelligence (AI) is changing the way business is done today. AI will ultimately transform every business in every industry. However, despite their desire to use data science when making decisions, many organizations can't find enough qualified data scientists to develop and run their data science initiatives. Nonetheless, with online training and readily available tools, any software engineer -- or even a business user with a math background -- can become a data scientist.

Retailers today are faced with mounting pressure to maximize their bottom lines while maintaining cost expectations for consumers. But amid volatile market changes, ever-evolving customer expectations and increased competition online, this is increasingly challenging to realize. Many retailers are turning to AI to help boost productivity while keeping costs in check. Research finds the global market size for AI in retail is expected to grow drastically, from $4.84 billion in 2021 to $31.18 billion in 2028. This sharp increase is attributed to surging demand for AI-powered retail solutions as the industry continues to undergo digital transformation.

Technology has played a pivotal role in transforming how businesses operate, for the better and for the worse. The development of semiconductors and the computing revolution that followed changed the business landscape dramatically in a few decades. The next transformational change in business will be brought about by artificial intelligence. Artificial Intelligence or AI tries to mimic human intelligence with computing power. Complex statistical operations are applied to huge amounts of data to train computers to learn some aspects of human intelligence.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer a flashy term thrown around without merit. Rather, industries across the board are broadening use of technology applications to improve industry standards and drive greater efficiency. Over centuries of operating supply chains, humans improved operations to the point where shipments could be completed in less than 24 hours. But with technology entering the picture only a few decades ago, and quickly advancing to the point of surpassing human intelligence, it's time to investigate specific areas across the industry where technology can further enhance operations, simplify and automate tasks, boost safety measures and, ultimately, improve bottom lines. AI enables machines to mimic human processes, all while doing it better.
