The addition of App IQ and IAP SKU (In-App Purchase SKU) will provide insights to drive effective consumer strategies. Digital success requires engaging with consumers where they spend the vast majority of their time - mobile. The challenge is that mobile app store categories are antiquated causing enterprise teams to spend precious bandwidth on onerous research and manual analysis of competitors. App IQ illuminates the digital landscape by providing an industry-first, robust taxonomy (19 genres / 152 subgenres), combining both app stores. Enterprises can now identify new partnership opportunities, competitive threats and quickly react to the ever-changing landscape.

Research and innovation in artificial intelligence in the food manufacturing sector are on the rise. The most recent figures show the number of AI patent applications in the industry stood at 17 in the three months ending September – up from 11 over the same period last year. Figures for patent grants related to AI followed a similar pattern to filings – growing from 14 in the three months ending September last year to 29 this year. The figures are compiled by GlobalData, which tracks patent filings and grants from offices around the world. Using textual analysis, as well as official patent classifications, these patents are grouped into key thematic areas, and linked to key companies across various industries. AI is one of the key areas tracked by GlobalData.

Artificial intelligence applied to healthcare includes a collection of technologies that enable machines to sense, interpret, act and learn. AI implementations for digital health can be relatively simple when they are focused largely on personal patient engagement, or vastly complex when working with big data sets, highly specialized diagnostics, and the workflows of multiple highly complicated organizations. The addition of Internet of Things sensor data from connected health and related devices adds a new layer of critical, real-time contextual data. The uses cases for IoT sensor-informed healthcare applications can include home security and access control for vulnerable loved ones, remote patient monitoring of vitals, activity monitoring and anomaly detection, safety of the home and mobile environments, environmental monitoring for chronic conditions, and more. These use cases provide opportunities for the application of artificial intelligence and machine learning to transform healthcare functions into data-driven services that can improve outcomes and deliver healthcare more efficiently.

Most people think they know what the term "artificial intelligence" means, based on the results of a survey Pegasystems released Tuesday. However, their responses suggested that they probably don't fully understand how it's being used today, including in the customer service realm. Researchers polled 6,000 adult consumers in the United States, the UK, the Netherlands, France and Germany. Seventy-two percent of the survey participants said they understood what was meant by "artificial intelligence." While 32 percent said they weren't sure if they had interacted with AI, 34 percent said they had.

New Delhi: Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the top themes this year among consumer trends as consumers see it playing a more prominent role than before, according to Ericsson's annual trend report, 'The 10 Hot Consumer Trends for 2017 and Beyond', which was released on Wednesday. But while consumers see possibilities with AI, they also worry about risks; almost half of respondents are concerned that AI robots will soon make a lot of people lose their jobs. Two in five advanced Internet users believe their phones will soon learn what we do and perform activities for us automatically, and smartphones could soon interact with a wealth of other devices on our behalf. One in two smartphone owners believes he will be able to talk to household appliances, while almost three in four believe multiple wearables and sensors will help them interact with other devices and physical things around them. When crossing a street, pedestrians are more vulnerable than other traffic subjects.
