The world's fourth industrial revolution is ushering in big shifts in the workplace. Professor Steven Dhondt has a reassurance of sorts for people in the EU worried about losing their jobs to automation: relax. Dhondt, an expert in work and organisational change at the Catholic University Leuven in Belgium, has studied the impact of technology on jobs for the past four decades. Fresh from leading an EU research project on the issue, he stresses opportunities rather than threats. 'We need to develop new business practices and welfare support but, with the right vision, we shouldn't see technology as a threat,' Dhondt said.

You can create text shorts on iPhones and Android phones. You know what they say about the American dream, right? Think about it -- a decently sized home, kids playing in the yard, neighbors discussing last night's game across white picket fences.

The digital revolution is in full swing, and the insurance industry is no exception. Insurance companies are under pressure to modernize their operations and adopt new technologies to remain competitive. Digital transformation is bringing new opportunities for growth and efficiency, as well as challenges. In this blog post, we'll take a look at how the digital revolution is impacting the insurance industry and what insurers need to do to stay ahead of the curve. With media attention on the insurance industry and how companies interact with consumers rising, businesses are feeling the pressure to ensure their practices are more transparent and that they provide a fairer value for customers.

We are in or about to enter a Fourth Industrial Revolution and I think that the coincidental occurrence of COVID has accelerated that. To be honest my fascination of the 4th Industrial revolution started from when I first realised all the stocks had plummeted. Naturally this made my curiosity peak watching videos trying to soak as much information as possible down the You tube rabbit hole. Now before COVID the only other time that I can remember the stocks plummeting were from significant events such as the dot com crash of the early 2000's and the financial crisis of 2008. These two events were associated with periods of rapid economic growth due to what I'd say were the 3rd and 4th Industrial Revolutions.

TU Wien Informatics will be welcoming Toby Walsh, AI expert and "rock star" of Australia's digital revolution, for the Gödel Lecture 2022. Artificial intelligence is an essential part of our lives – for better or worse. It can be used to influence what we buy, who gets shortlisted for a job, and even how we vote. Without AI, medical technology wouldn't have come so far, we'd still be getting lost on backroads in our GPS-free cars, and smartphones wouldn't be so, well, smart. But as we continue to build more intelligent and autonomous machines, what impact will this have on humanity and the planet?

We are in the middle of a digital revolution in medicine. This raises the question of whether subjects such as radiology, which is superficially concerned with the interpretation of images, will be particularly changed by this revolution. In particular, it should be discussed whether in the future the completion of initially simpler, then more complex image analysis tasks by computer systems may lead to a reduced need for radiologists. What distinguishes radiology in particular is its key position between advanced technology and medical care. This article discusses that not only radiology but every medical discipline will be affected by innovations due to the digital revolution, and that a redefinition of medical specialties focusing on imaging and visual interpretation makes sense and that the arrival of artificial intelligence (AI) in radiology is to be welcomed in the context of ever larger amounts of image data-to at all be able to handle the increasing amount of image data in the future at the current number of radiologists.

A large ecommerce company has allocated a hefty budget for marketing activities before its upcoming sale event--its biggest in the year. The marketing team needs to come up with the messaging to be delivered during the marketing campaign to attract maximum customers. The big question is what should that messaging be? Should it be, "Get the best discounts," or should it be, "Get the best international brands," or will "Get best quality at best rates" work better? Should all three messages be employed?

In an increasingly competitive world, we should have a deep understanding of the business in which we operate, how it is evolving, and the new innovations that we could embrace or build to remain competitive and conquer new market segments. To do this, we must be able to develop a clear vision of transformation that takes us to another level of performance. By embracing Digital Transformation, we will deal with artificial intelligence, machine and deep learning, virtual reality, and a lot of other innovative technologies. At first sight, it might even sound fearful to lead the business in such a complex and intricate direction. With this in mind, we will consider some strategies to better understand and take competitive advantage of the huge streaming of data in the current era of the digital revolution.

There’s no doubt that digital technology has been highly disruptive. In industry after industry, from retail to media to travel and hospitality, nimble digital upstarts have set established industries on their head, completely changing the basis upon which firms compete. Many incumbents haven’t survived. Many others are greatly diminished. Still, in many ways, the digital revolution has been a huge disappointment. Besides the meager productivity gains, we’ve seen a ​​global rise in authoritarian populism, stagnant wages, reduced productivity growth and weaker competitive markets, not to mention an anxiety epidemic, increased obesity and, at least in the US, decreased life expectancy. We can—and must—do better. We can learn from the mistakes we made during the digital revolution and shift our mindset from disrupting markets to tackling grand challenges. This new era of innovation will give us the ability to shape the world around us like never before, at a molecular level and achieve incredible things. Yet we can’t just leave our destiny to the whims of market and technological forces. We must actually choose the outcomes we prefer and build strategies to achieve them. The possibilities that we will unlock from new computing architectures, synthetic biology, advanced materials science, artificial intelligence and other things will give us that power. What we do with it is up to us.

Since the middle of the last century, a digital revolution has slowly taken place, it has become part of our households, empowering cars, appliances, and mobile devices. Technologies are fundamentally changing the way people and businesses think and work together. The digital revolution is blurring the boundaries between the physical, digital, and financial world, delving into biology and genetics. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing the world as we know it, bringing in new possibilities that can be applied to a large number of undertakings to benefit organizations seeking to improve outcomes and productivity, slowly becoming mainstream, as large corporations look for the right technologies such as visual perception, speech recognition, and even decision making. Having said that, as the digital revolution takes place, new services are coming up, changing the way businesses perceive demand, provision the supply and deliver, thus fulfilling a new market demand.
