U.S. Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall took a history-making flight in an AI-controlled F-16 on May 3, 2024. U.S. Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall rode in the cockpit of a fighter jet on Friday, which flew over the desert in California and was controlled by artificial intelligence. Last month, Kendall announced his plans to fly in an AI-controlled F-16 to the U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee's defense panel, while speaking about the future of air warfare being dependent on autonomously operated drones. On Friday, the senior Air Force leader followed through with his plans, making what could be one of the biggest advances in military aviation since stealth planes were introduced in the early 1990s. Kendall flew to Edwards Air Force Base – the same desert facility where Chuck Yeager broke the sound barrier – to watch and experience AI flight in real time. US MILITARY'OUT OF TIME' IN PUSH AGAINST ADVERSARIES' MODERNIZATION, AIR FORCE SECRETARY SAYS The X-62A VISTA aircraft, an experimental AI-enabled Air Force F-16 fighter jet, takes off on Thursday, May 2, 2024, at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif.

The general consensus appears to be leaning towards the idea that artificial intelligence can replace the role of human financial advisors and therefore, those in the industry must adapt or risk getting left behind. But before jumping to that conclusion, it's worth exploring some important questions: what's next, what is needed and who needs it? And, perhaps crucially, whether AI will ever remove the need for human advisors in the financial industry. AI transforming financial sector Business leaders have revealed that the use of technology including AI plays a significant role in filling gaps within financial services offerings. Jim Pendergast, Senior Vice President and General Manager at AltLINE by The Southern Bank, has said that AI can improve the consistency of financial advice.

Forget Skynet gaining sentience and starting a nuclear apocalypse aimed at humanity. The real fear a lot of folks have about artificial intelligence, robots and other automated processes is what it means for all of our jobs. According to a famous Oxford University study, around 47% of currently existing jobs could potentially be automated away within the next 15 years. While it's inarguable that a certain number of jobs will vanish in the wake of automation, lots of new jobs are going to be created by technology as well. Jobs like data analyst, machine learning scientist, process automation specialists and digital marketing experts are all roles that we're going to see a whole lot more of in the decades to come.

This is a preview of an upcoming webinar: AI and the Future Role of the Salesperson, featuring Madhukar Kumar, Oracle's VP of Product Strategy and Marketing for CX Cloud. Disruption may be a principle of progress; but the current pace of disruption can be maddening. This is especially true for salespeople desperate to show results today. The answers are always going to be the same. But it's difficult to keep investing in emerging technology because sales leaders need to show results with the investments they've already made.

Investment and interest in Artificial Intelligence (AI) is now white hot as we enter the second decade of the 21st century. Interestingly, AI is now almost a passé term. Machine Learning and advanced pattern recognition is now gaining notoriety as the "new" approach to apply the concept of AI, having been successfully applied to many problems in academia and industry. Several use cases have been identified delivering legitimate Return on Investment. These recent advances can be attributed to the presence of greater access to more data, coupled with new, more powerful computer hardware and processing power.

What is Cryptojacking and Why Is It a Cybersecurity Risk? Artificial intelligence is already redefining cybersecurity, exposing sophisticated attacks and adding a level of Terminator-style relentlessness to threat detection tools and anti-malware software.

Artificial intelligence is already redefining cybersecurity, exposing sophisticated attacks and adding a level of Terminator-style relentlessness to threat detection tools and anti-malware software. AI is even being used by a startup to scour the dark web for evidence that its customers have been hacked and their sensitive data is being peddled on illicit marketplaces. But what does the future hold for AI in cybersecurity? Here's what they had to say. "The future will see self-healing and self-defending networks, which can leverage AI to take steps to fight and defend the network," said Tom McAndrew, COO of Coalfire, a provider of cyber risk management and compliance services.

The future of the U.S. military may be focused on artificial intelligence (A.I.), an effort that could improve cybersecurity, precision weaponry and other military functions. A recent report from the Harvard's Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs states that advancements in the last five years have made it possible for the U.S. military to expand its use of A.I. in the near future-- but only if certain questions are addressed first. "Though the United States military and intelligence communities are planning for expanded use of A.I. across their portfolios, many of the most transformative applications of A.I. have not yet been addressed," the report, written by Greg Allen and Taniel Chan, states. "We propose three goals for developing future policy on A.I. and national security: preserving U.S. technological leadership, supporting peaceful and commercial use and mitigating catastrophic risk." The researchers examined nuclear, aerospace, cyber and biotech opportunities to develop recommendations for national security policy involving A.I .funding

According to Google Trends, machine learning has shown a steady (almost threefold) increase in interest since 2015. Coursera and Udacity machine learning courses are both in the top ten related topics. It appears that many people want to learn more about it. If you have ever used Google, Netflix, Amazon, Gmail, then you have interacted with machine learning (ML). It has become an important component in online retail, recommendation systems, fraud detection and others.
