Applications of human activity recognition in industrial processes -- Synergy of human and technology

Niemann, Friedrich, Reining, Christopher, Bas, Hülya, Franke, Sven

Human-technology collaboration relies on verbal and non-verbal Christopher Reining communication. Another field of application is the detection of hand Increasing automation in production and logistics movements. This not only facilitates human-machine with simultaneous increases in the complexity of manual interaction [3] but also communication in the context of processes is leading to more and more interaction recognising sign language. Synergetic collaboration application, the industry deserves special mention. While fitness trackers use HAR human factor is still a crucial variable, which is wrongly to distinguish between step and no step, the movements assumed to be deterministic in planning and simulation to be analysed in the industry are more complex. The time data is necessary to implement a datadriven movements become more complex and more detailed, simulation that considers the non-deterministic automatic recognition of activities will become less motion behaviour of humans.


Ethical implications of AI and the future of work

#artificialintelligence

As the future of work rapidly evolves, and organizations are integrating people, technology, alternative workforces, and new ways of working, leaders are wrestling with an increasing range of resulting ethical challenges. These challenges are especially pronounced at the intersection between humans and technology, where new questions have risen to the top of the ethics agenda about the impact of emerging technologies on workers and society. How organizations combine people and machines, govern new human-machine work combinations, and operationalize the working relationship between humans, teams, and machines will be at the center of how ethical concerns can be managed for the broadest range of benefits. Organizations that tackle these issues head-on--changing their perspective to consider not only "could we" but also "how should we"--will be well positioned to make the bold choices that help to build trust among all stakeholders. The Readiness Gap: Seventy-five percent of organizations say ethics related to the future of work are important or very important for their success over the next 12 to 18 months, but only 14 percent say they are very ready to address this trend.


A machine should be like a personal trainer for learners

Edy Portmann explains why it is important for schools to reinforce the scientist that lies within every child. He talks about intelligent learning systems and how they can be used to build collective intelligence, as well as to encourage students' creativity and help them learn to work together to solve problems. Sabine Gysi: In discussions of the digital transformation in education, skeptics often complain that reality is being pushed aside in favor of the digital. Does it make sense to look at the "real" world and the digital world as opposites? Edy Portmann: I've heard some teachers say that technological tools are "artificial."


Are You Ready to Manage Digital Labor?

#artificialintelligence

During Aragon Research's research community meeting this week, Jim and I were discussing what it will take to manage your workforce in the future; a hybrid mixture of humans and digital labor. The discussion got us thinking about what it means to manage technology versus what it takes to manage people, and how this will change as organizations introduce AI-enabled technologies. In this blog, we explore the differences and similarities between managing humans and technology to understand how management will change as we introduce technologies that can learn, recognize patterns, and change/respond. Digital labor is a term that applies to the automation of tasks that are performed by computer applications. Our future workforce will be a hybrid combination of humans and AI-enabled technologies (i.e., bots, assistants, robotics, etc.), supported by traditional non-AI technology.

Actuaries will be among those affected by new technology. But in the future, it will not be a question of machines or humans; rather, there will be a partnership between humans and technology. One day the world will be run by machines and there will be little meaningful work left for humans to do. It's a scenario that's been used by writers of fiction since the start of the 19th century, but reality has not played out that way. Fast forward to the year 2018 and many of us are arguably working more hours and longer weeks than has been the case during the last several decades.


Futurist says humans and technology are slowly merging in biggest revolution for species

Daily Mail - Science & tech

According to one futurist, the next frontier for human innovation is the body itself. In a talk at Fast Company's European Innovation Festival, historian and international bestselling author, Yuval Noah Harari, said that the human body is on a crash course with technology. 'It's increasingly hard to tell where I end and where the computer begins,' Harari said, as reported by Fast Company. In the future, humans and technology will be impossible to differentiate from one another says one prominent futurist. Yuval Noah Harari (pictured, file photo) spoke recently during Fast Company's European Innovation Festival'In the future, it is likely that the smartphone will not be separated from you at all,' Harari said.


Social Selling: The Symbiosis of Human and Technology - Digital Leadership Associates

#artificialintelligence

This isn't another post about how we are about to be overrun by cyborgs and that this is the end of humanity as we know it. What is evident, however, is that the sales and marketing functions are about to move into an entirely new era. Their roles are being fundamentally changed by technology. This is a blend of AI, machine learning, data analytics, video, voice and automation. Central to all of it is the customer buying behaviour.

The Division of Information and Intelligent Systems (IIS) studies the inter-related roles of people, computers, and information. IIS supports research and education activities that 1) develop new knowledge about the role of people in the design and use of information technology; 2) increase our capability to create, manage, and understand data and information in circumstances ranging from personal computers to globally-distributed systems; and 3) advance our understanding of how computational systems can exhibit the hallmarks of intelligence. Cyber-Human Systems (CHS) - In a world in which computers and networks are increasingly ubiquitous, computing, information, and computation play a central role in how humans work, learn, live, discover, and communicate. Technology is increasingly embedded throughout society, and is becoming commonplace in almost everything we do. The boundaries between humans and technology are shrinking to the point where socio-technical systems are becoming natural extensions to our human experience – second nature, helping us, caring for us, and enhancing us.


Futurist: We'll someday accept computers as human - CNN.com

Ray Kurzweil, the acclaimed inventor and futurist, believes that humans and technology are merging Kurzweil on portentous sci-fi fears about computers: "I don't see it as them vs. us" He spoke to a crowd of more than 3,000 at the South by Southwest Interactive conference Kurzweil on portentous sci-fi fears about computers: "I don't see it as them vs. us" Any author or filmmaker seeking ideas for a sci-fi yarn about the implications of artificial intelligence -- good or bad -- would be smart to talk to Ray Kurzweil. Kurzweil, the acclaimed inventor and futurist, believes that humans and technology are blurring -- note the smartphone appendages in almost everyone's hand -- and will eventually merge. "We are a human-machine civilization. Everybody has been enhanced with computer technology," he told a capacity crowd of more than 3,000 tech-savvy listeners Monday at the South by Southwest Interactive conference. "They're really part of who we are. "If we can convince people that computers have complexity of thought and nuance ... we'll come to accept them as human." A pioneer in the field of speech recognition, Kurzweil is perhaps best known for his bestseller, "The Singularity is Near," which predicts that in the future we will augment our bodies with technology, including robotics and artificial intelligence. "We created these tools to extend our reach," he said -- something we've been doing as humans "ever since we first picked up a stick to reach a tree branch." Asked by interviewer Lev Grossman whether artificial intelligence will lead to malevolent machines that will come to dominate humans, he said he was more concerned about what humans will do to themselves. "I don't see it as'us vs. them.'
