The MIT alumni-founded Overjet uses artificial intelligence to annotate dental X-rays for dentists. MIT alumni-founded company analyzes and annotates dental X-rays to help dentists offer more comprehensive care. A hospital radiologist is often pictured as a specialist who sits in a dark room and spends hours poring over X-rays to make diagnoses. Contrast that with your dentist, who in addition to interpreting X-rays must also perform surgery, communicate with patients, manage staff, and run their business. When dentists analyze X-rays, they generally do so in bright rooms and on computers that aren't specialized for radiology, often with the patient sitting right next to them.

When dentists analyze X-rays, they do so in bright rooms and on computers that aren't specialized for radiology, often with the patient sitting right next to them. Is it any wonder, then, that dentists given the same X-ray might propose different treatments? "Dentists are doing a great job given all the things they have to deal with," says Wardah Inam SM '13, Ph.D. '16.

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed a deep learning model that can rapidly predict the likely three-dimensional shape of a molecule, given a two-dimensional graph of its structure. The deep learning GeoMol model developed by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers can rapidly predict the three-dimensional shapes of drug-like molecules, which could expedite drug discovery. GeoMol's predictions are based solely on two-dimensional molecular graphs, and it can process molecules in seconds while outperforming other machine learning models, according to the researchers. The system utilizes a message passing neural network to forecast the lengths of chemical bonds between atoms and those bonds' angles; GeoMol then predicts the structure of each atom's local neighborhood and constructs neighboring pairs of rotatable bonds by computing and aligning torsion angles. MIT's Octavian-Eugen Ganea said GeoMol could help drugmakers indentify new drugs faster by reducing the number of molecules on which they must experiment.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is shedding light on one of the most examined yet least understood experiences of modern life: the customer journey. From shopping malls and sports arenas, to train stations and city streets, C2RO is an AI-powered video analytics platform that captures anonymized data about people's movement so organizations can improve the customer experience. "We analyze human behaviour in physical spaces, and transfer it into actionable data," said Tim Heaney, vice president of sales at C2RO. "With a fact-based understanding of the amount of people coming into a space, how they move through it with whom, where they linger, and what they touch and eventually purchase, organizations can manage physical environments more efficiently to improve the customer experience and business results." A transportation organization used data from C2RO to improve subway train and bus terminal planning. "Based on the number of people boarding and leaving trains at certain times and days, as well as which direction they're headed at terminals, transportation managers could alleviate traffic crunches," said Heaney.

The seas were blessedly calm as we sailed across the channel and straight up the Seine, into the heart of Francia. The skald led us in song, our voices booming across the placid waters, thundering in our veins. We leaped from our longboat onto the shores of Francia, shouting glory to the All-Father as we charged up the beaches. The sounds of glorious battle filled the air. Squelch, squelch, squish, grunt, clang, yell, grunt, clang, squish, squish, squidge.

New research from AI content generation and decisioning platform Persado, which aims to unlock the value of the right words at every customer interaction, provides insights on CMOs' perceptions of their company's readiness, and best practices for applying AI to an area of business that receives significant time, energy, and investment: the creative process. The firm's newly released report, 2021 State of AI and Creativity, surveyed more than 400 chief marketing officers and senior marketing leaders, and found a growing trend to leverage AI and machine learning in new ways to deliver more effective messages to prospects and customers. Key findings of the survey from U.S. respondents include: "Marketers have been leveraging technology to gain insights and improve performance across their portfolios for many years--applying AI to targeting and segmentation, marketing mix optimization, promotions and discounts, and dynamic pricing," said Amy Heidersbach, chief marketing officer of Persado, in a news release. "But how to optimize creative at scale has largely remained a blind spot for data-driven, digital-first companies. Now, it's clear that marketing leaders are turning their attention toward creative to unlock new sources of value--replacing human-only guesswork with human-plus-machine certainty."

Persado's 2021 State of AI and Creativity Survey highlights the growing importance of technology to generate and deliver more predictive, personalized creative that can be directly attributed to business outcomes NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#AI–Persado, the leading AI content generation and decisioning platform that unlocks the value of the right words at every customer interaction, today announced the results of a first-of-its kind survey: 2021 State of AI and Creativity. More than 400 chief marketing officers and senior marketing leaders were asked to provide input on their company's readiness, and on best practices for applying AI to an area of business that receives significant time, energy, and investment: the creative process. The survey found a growing trend among senior marketing leaders to leverage AI and machine learning in new ways to deliver more effective messages to prospects and customers. Key findings of the survey from U.S. respondents include: "Marketers have been leveraging technology to gain insights and improve performance across their portfolios for many years – applying AI to targeting and segmentation, marketing mix optimization, promotions and discounts, and dynamic pricing," says Amy Heidersbach, Chief Marketing Officer of Persado.

Now, it's clear that marketing leaders are turning their attention toward creative to unlock new sources of value – replacing human-only guesswork with human-plus-machine certainty."

Artificial intelligence (AI), the use of human-like intelligence through software and mechanisms, enables the disruption of the most diverse segments. After all, this is an industry that has grown an average of 20% per year for the past 5 years, according to a survey by BBC Research. Many organizations have already joined the "future" and gained space by efficiently applying AI in everyday activities. For example, some banks started to perform financial services without the help of a human; farms use drones capable of identifying points in a crop that need more irrigation and automatically trigger sprinklers. AI is not set to replace the recruiter's work, the importance of the interview, the empathy, and the sparkle in the eye that we sometimes feel when interviewing a candidate.

It's no surprise that artificial intelligence is a significant topic of conversation these days. Affirming tremendous cost and time savings, businesses from almost every industry are keen to see how they can leverage AI to enhance their operations and gain a competitive edge. While many companies have already implemented some forms of AI, some are still expecting significant barriers to adoption. The truth is, regardless of all the hype around AI, many are still unsure of how to implement and leverage AI. Nowadays, with AI-focused solutions ranging from plug-and-play to fully customized, it's easier for businesses of all sizes to get started with AI. For marketing professionals, a key area where artificial intelligence is impactful is in content marketing.
