Lisa Amini (IBM Research), Henr y F. Kor th (Lehigh University), Nita Patel (Otis), Evan Peck (University of Colorado Boulder), Ben Zorn (Microsoft) It is believed by some that we are entering a new age of technology, characterized by advanced, per vasive Ar tificial Intelligence (AI), during which the rate of workforce and economic disruption will be substantially greater than previous periods. Regardless of whether a new era has commenced, AI is increasing in capability, speeding integration into the workplace and our homes, and prevailing in both technical and non-technical contexts and occupations. New skills and professions -- many of which are not yet conceived -- will arise, as will widespread job displacement. Just as the Information Age required national imperatives for computing education, similar imperatives exist for the rise of AI. In a sur vey of 4702 CEOs, 70 percent say AI will significantly change the way their companies create, deliver, and capture value over the next three years, and 45 percent believe their companies will no longer be viable in ten years if they continue on their current path.

Vancouver, Kelowna, and Delta, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 15, 2022) - Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering technology and AI stocks releases a special report covering the growth in AI technology utilization in the insurance industry, featuring FatBrain AI (LZG International Inc.) (OTC Pink: LZGI). AI technology utilization in insurance has been spurred partly by the changing work landscape caused by COVID-19 and businesses now adopting some form of remote work options as well as the general adoption of technology in the workplace and at home and how big data collection can work with AI to allow for more effective and customized insurance solutions. A recent article from Mkinsey.com titled "Insurance 2030-The impact of AI on the future of insurance" discussed how AI technology is currently impacting the insurance landscape as "AI's underlying technologies are already being deployed in our businesses, homes, and vehicles, as well as on our person. The disruption from COVID-19 changed the timelines for the adoption of AI by significantly accelerating digitization for insurers. Virtually overnight, organizations had to adjust to accommodate remote workforces, expand their digital capabilities to support distribution, and upgrade their online channels. While most organizations likely didn't invest heavily in AI during the pandemic, the increased emphasis on digital technologies and a greater willingness to embrace change will put them in a better position to incorporate AI into their operations."

As Artificial Intelligence (AI) becomes more mainstream, technology companies such as Intel seems to latched on to the trend. Intel plans to launch several initiatives such as'AI for future workforce' and'AI for current workforce' by the end of this year with an aim to build skill-ready workforce, Shweta Khurana, senior director – Asia Pacific and Japan (APJ), government partnerships and initiatives, global government affairs, Intel told FE Education Online. "AI for future workforce will cater to 18 years and above and AI for current workforce is for professionals with primary focus on women driven small and medium enterprises (SMEs)," Khurana said. The programme will be delivered virtually by an Intel certified coach. As per the company, the curriculum designed for AI for future workforce is technical; however; students does not require any prior domain knowledge. Furthermore, projects under the programme are focussed on industrial impacts such as common trade application, predictive maintenance, viral post protection, insurance fraud protection among others.

Music and entertainment are among the fastest-growing industries today, globally and in India. Digital media and the internet have broken down the geographical boundaries, making the entire global population a potential audience to music and entertainment. On December 30, 2019, an AI-driven health monitoring platform called BlueDot spotted a cluster of unusual pneumonia cases occurring in Wuhan, China. The Canadian company sent out a warning to its customers the next day -- December 31. They had identified what would come to be known as COVID-19 a week before the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in USA or 2 weeks before WHO was able to spot it. Artificial Intelligence, or AI, has played a key role in identifying and addressing the pandemic.

LivePerson, a leading technology company making new waves in the artificial intelligence world, is helping brands leverage AI technology to engage with their customers virtually. Artificial intelligence works together with employees to promote customer satisfaction by reducing the length of wait times, and providing the customer with an immediate response to their inquiry. Bots help customer engagement teams connect with customers in the most meaningful way by filtering out questions that are easiest to answer and leaving more time for representatives to connect directly with customers who have highly complex requests. Ultimately, this led to the overall success of the customer engagement team because they were able to cultivate meaningful relationships with customers and focus on those high complexity, high value interactions instead of the ones bots could handle on their own. Technology like conversational AI helps brands reach their customers, and only makes the role of customer engagement representatives more essential, more streamlined, and more important.

Society has long been fascinated by artificial intelligence. Countless movies have been made about robots taking over the world, and while they make for good entertainment, it's just not realistic. This fear is far from being founded in truth. In fact, AI is actually helping us keep our jobs. The direction artificial intelligence is taking as an emerging technology offers us new degrees of efficiency and productivity we have not been able to achieve before.

We need to recognize that creativity is now a core capability. To stand out in their jobs, our kids must be outfitted to express their ideas visually, to quickly put together a compelling video, or to build a simple prototype to pitch a new idea. We need to give the same emphasis to the principles of design that we give to the grammar of sentences, the same attention to color theory that we give to statistics, and teach kids to use video-editing software like we teach them to use spreadsheets. Success for the next generation of workers will come down to making an impact in ways robots cannot.

Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Digitalisation – despite all the success stories it has written, the digital revolution is often also linked with the fear of people that it will eventually cost them their jobs. How realistic are these fears and how do individuals and companies need to face the digital transformation of the workforce? Cyborgs that hunt and eradicate humans, board computers of space ships that kill the crew, or an Artificial Intelligence that enslaves the human race – Terminator, 2001: A Space Odyssey or The Matrix are just three examples of a long list of movies about the dangers of AI. When we speak about Artificial Intelligence, we regularly are reminded of the science fiction stories that warn us about the rise of AI and its unintended consequences. Such scenarios – if ever realistic – at least seem very distant.

Here are the top news stories in talent & organization from this week. Female founders and women in business are changing the world, so it's time to drop words such as "mompreneurs" and "she-E-Os", argues Leigh Buchanan. "From a semantic viewpoint, the words or phrases express meanings antithetical to their intent. The word entrepreneur derives from the Old French: to undertake an enterprise. "As for she-E-O, the word being replaced is chief.
