For Christians, Easter is a time to remember how Jesus was killed on the cross before returning three days later. But now, around 2,000 years later, the messiah has returned once more - this time as an AI influencer. The AI Jesus chatbot allows you to video call the son of God in real-time from the comfort of your computer. But faithful followers should be warned that there is a fairly major catch. This AI chatbot has been built not only to deliver words of wisdom and comfort, but also to advertise products. Designed as a'satire on spiritual consumerism', the bizarre website's creators say that the AI Jesus will always make sure to suggest a'strangely fitting product'.

People can use various tools, such as high-fidelity players and streaming apps, to enjoy In this work, we introduce a novel NLP task: assessing music at any time. Listeners can simply go the positive and risky messages of a music online, press the PLAY button, and find themselves item. We study the messages that a music item invigorated after a bad day. However, this easy access conveys from five significant dimensions regarding also raises concerns that children and adolescents appropriateness: Positive Messages, Violence, may have a higher chance of being exposed to Substance Consumption, Sex, and Consumerism risky content.

Listen to this episode from Tcast on Spotify. Artificial Intelligence is all the rage these days. There are universities doing research, op-eds in newspapers, and even several articles in this space talking about artificial intelligence and machine learning and how it will affect our lives in the years to come. Unfortunately, most of the focus has been on how it can be used to improve the bottom lines for businesses around the world. Don’t get us wrong, we’re not knocking the profit motive. However, we are knocking the idea that you have to keep on making more and more profit. That drive has a way of dehumanizing people (and frankly even the people with the drive) and making people lose focus on the things that really matter in the world.  One of the effects of the constant drive for more profits is the drive to consume more things. More and more we look like Huxley’s Brave New World in which consumerism is promoted by the state, to the extent they put out slogans like “the less stitches, the more riches” to promote people buying new clothes instead of mending what they already have. Every economic ‘stimulus’ is given in the hopes that people use that money to go buy a bunch of stuff to keep things moving. Consumerism is a huge problem in the modern world. This is true both spiritually and materially, though for this article we’ll be focused on the material problems.  Whether it is the government or business telling us that the way to happiness is the latest and greatest smartphone, TV, car, etc. this creates problems. All of that stuff requires resources to make. Minerals, trees, oils and who knows what are used every time something like that is purchased. And the old goes into landfills, which are gigantic, so gigantic in some places that people literally live on them in places like India, making a living off reselling some of the things in them. We’ve gotten better at reusing a lot of that stuff, being able to recycle things made of the rare minerals mined in Africa or melting down plastics so they can be remolded into something else. However, there is a finite amount of stuff on the planet and a growing population that will naturally keep using that stuff. We might well find ourselves able to get into space and use resources there before much longer, but it wouldn’t hurt to also reduce our dependency on the drive to constantly have more stuff as well.  Which brings us back to our primary issue for this article, how can we use our digital technology to reduce that need? How can we use things like AI to make things more sustainable? Fortunately, our ability to collect and analyze data is just as unparalleled as our increased drive to consumerism. Improved analytics can be used for a variety of efforts that will make farming more efficient, enabling people to get the most food out of a plot of land while doing the least amount of harm to the environment.  We can learn how to build safer, smaller, and lighter vehicles so that they use fewer resources, are more fuel efficient and still allow people to get from point A to point B. AI can be used to study the effects of different zoning laws. Would it be better to allow more mixing of business and residential areas so people don’t need to drive ten minutes whenever they need a gallon of milk?  There is a lot of potential here. And a lot of ways that potential can be undermined. We’ll be exploring both of those a bit more next time. What’s your data worth? www.tartle.co

This past year certainly showed that artificial intelligence has a huge role to play in the healthcare industry. From clinical use-cases to operational efforts, AI can improve care, gain efficiencies and enhance the experience, many forward-looking healthcare provider organizations have proved. Many health IT experts say that AI is going to have a larger role to play in healthcare in 2020 as the complex technology continues to mature in the industry. Here, three health IT experts discuss places where AI can make advances this year. Salucro, a healthcare financial information systems vendor, is betting that 2020 will bring some transformative changes to the healthcare market through artificial intelligence.

Technology and technological familiarity have spurred a new wave of digital consumerism. Whether customers are seeking answers through email correspondence or finalizing their online purchases, today's buyers are aware of what technology can do and, accordingly, want to partner with businesses that can meet their demands for tech-friendly consumerism. Artificial Intelligence is the source of many of the tectonic shifts in emerging digitized relationships between customers and businesses. Successful businesses are learning that the key to customer satisfaction across digital platforms is harnessing the power of AI technology to facilitate a strong customer experience and digital presence. In fact, 61% of businesses reported by Narrative Science and the National Business Research Institute had already implemented AI into their business practice in 2017, with many more following suit.

Forrester Research has published a report summing up its impressions from the HIMSS19 Global Conference & Exhibition. Experts said they came away from the show convinced that big momentum is building behind interoperability, and it's not coming from the places one might expect. Health systems will need to do better with the management and sharing of more data than ever if they hope to stay competitive in a value-based care landscape where patients have more choice than ever about where they get their care, according to the study. WHY IT MATTERS As interoperability continues to gain steam, it's set to boost the profiles of an array of other key technologies, said Forrester researchers. At HIMSS19, it was clear that tools "supporting data management and interoperability, including cloud and AI, showcased their ability to add value and hit on the quadruple aim: improving the customer experience, driving better outcomes, lowering costs, and supporting the whole care team," they said.

Health IT giant Allscripts Healthcare Solutions will have a massive footprint on the HIMSS19 exhibit floor. It will be showcasing its popular electronic health record system and other related technologies. And the company will be focusing discussions with HIMSS19 attendees on two trends it says are key in 2019: consumers demanding better healthcare and technology experiences and machine learning gleaning more insights from patient data. The transition from patient to consumer has progressed, said Allscripts CEO Paul M. Black. "People are taking more ownership of their healthcare, and they expect user-friendly technologies to help them do so," he said.

Virtual reality is becoming increasingly popular and sophisticated in the modern-day world, providing people with the opportunity to experience new worlds and enter entirely alternate realities. But there is a darker side to the ever-improving technology - one that has been candidly portrayed in a set of illustrations, which depict a desolate and empty world destroyed by a war between robots and people as a result of humans' obsession with virtual reality. Set two decades ago, in 1997, the artwork by Swedish author and illustrator Simon Stålenhag charts the travels of a young girl and her robot toy as she journeys across a horrifying wasteland, which is all that remains of the US. Thought-provoking: Many of Simon's illustrations show deserted areas that seem to reflect this reality's extreme poverty In Stålenhag's reality, there is no Bill Clinton, no OJ Simpson trial, and no Britney Spears to fill up the minds of Americans. Instead, the world looks as if it's about to end, having been crushed to ruins by the excesses of a human race overtaken by consumerism.
