The Impact of ML DataOps on Different Sectors
Commercial machine learning (ML) applications have progressed from conceptualization to testing to deployment over the past decade. The need for efficient and scalable operations has led to the establishment of MLOps as a vital function within firms developing artificial intelligence (AI) as the industry has progressed through this cycle. As a result, it is critical to understand what ML DataOps is and how it affects various sectors. ML relies heavily on the collection, analysis, and creation of data. Over the past year, the AI ecosystem has witnessed a push to move to a more data-centric approach from the current model-centric one.

Workplace AI will get hella boring before it becomes life-changing
This article is part of our series that explores the business of artificial intelligence. Digital technologies, and at their forefront artificial intelligence, are triggering fundamental shifts in society, politics, education, economy, and other fundamental aspects of life. These changes provide opportunities for unprecedented growth across different sectors of the economy. But at the same time, they entail challenges that organizations must overcome before they can tap into their full potential. In a recent talk at an online conference organized by Stanford Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI), Stanford professor Erik Brynjolfsson discussed some of these opportunities and challenges.

Brynjolfsson, who directs Stanford's Digital Economy Lab, believes that in the coming decade, the use of artificial intelligence will be much more widespread than it is today.
Applications of Natural Language Processing in Different Sectors
Natural language processing, frequently known as NLP, alludes to the ability of a computer to comprehend human speech as it is spoken. NLP is a key segment of artificial intelligence (AI) and depends on machine learning, a particular type of AI that analyzes and utilizes patterns in information to improve a program's comprehension of speech. Analytics Insight has forecasted the Market Revenue of NLP to at US$8,319 million, with a CAGR of 18.10% between 2019 and 2024. Natural language processing (NLP) can be effectively used in education for promoting language learning and improving the academic performance of the students. It assists in developing an effective process of learning in the educational setting by developing scientific approaches which can process of using computer and internet for enhancing the learning.

Mitigating Bias in Online Microfinance Platforms: A Case Study on Kiva.org
Sarkar, Soumajyoti, Alvari, Hamidreza
Over the last couple of decades in the lending industry, financial disintermediation has occurred on a global scale. Traditionally, even for small supply of funds, banks would act as the conduit between the funds and the borrowers. It has now been possible to overcome some of the obstacles associated with such supply of funds with the advent of online platforms like Kiva, Prosper, LendingClub. Kiva for example, works with Micro Finance Institutions (MFIs) in developing countries to build Internet profiles of borrowers with a brief biography, loan requested, loan term, and purpose. Kiva, in particular, allows lenders to fund projects in different sectors through group or individual funding. Traditional research studies have investigated various factors behind lender preferences purely from the perspective of loan attributes and only until recently have some cross-country cultural preferences been investigated. In this paper, we investigate lender perceptions of economic factors of the borrower countries in relation to their preferences towards loans associated with different sectors. We find that the influence from economic factors and loan attributes can have substantially different roles to play for different sectors in achieving faster funding. We formally investigate and quantify the hidden biases prevalent in different loan sectors using recent tools from causal inference and regression models that rely on Bayesian variable selection methods. We then extend these models to incorporate fairness constraints based on our empirical analysis and find that such models can still achieve near comparable results with respect to baseline regression models.

Niti Aayog, MeitY want 'responsible AI' but don't say whose job it is to do that
There has been a slew of newer sector-specific strategy documents in India that have discussed the role of artificial intelligence as a disruptive technological force in the future. But these strategy documents mentioning AI need to do more to highlight its implications for access to services in a particular sector. Researchers need to bring specificity in not just impact, but also applications and ethics into their analysis. As per the report of the'Steering Committee on Fintech Related Issues' released in September, "AI is expected to transform the manner in delivery of such (financial) services". The roadmap for'Health System for a New India' released by Niti Aayog on 18 November mentions the need to keep up with global technological changes such as AI to "augment clinicians' knowledge".
