Gathr, the all-in-one data pipeline platform, has recently been analyzed by Bloor Research for its impact on the analytical-driven transformation of the automotive insurance industry. Bloor Research, a leading globally recognized research and analyst firm, has published an insightful industry impact report, demonstrating Gathr's ability to create customer-driven analytics solution using the automotive insurance industry as a guiding example. The analyst report has listed the common issues faced by the industry to ingest, store, transform, enrich, and ultimately analyze customer data at scale, and how Gathr solves these instances. Furthermore, the report has demonstrated Gathr's involvement in the end-to-end data transformation process for a leading automotive insurance company. The report has further elucidated how Gathr can automate risk analysis through the creation and application of predictive machine learning models.

Artificial intelligence that surpasses our own intelligence sounds like the stuff from science fiction books or films. What do experts in the field of AI research think about such scenarios? Do they dismiss these ideas as fantasy, or are they taking such prospects seriously? A human-level AI would be a machine, or a network of machines, capable of carrying out the same range of tasks that we humans are capable of. It would be a machine that is "able to learn to do anything that a human can do," as Norvig and Russell put it in their textbook on AI.1 It would be able to choose actions that allow the machine to achieve its goals and then carry out those actions.

With the advent of Transformative Artificial Intelligence, it is now more important than ever to be able to both measure and forecast the transformative impact/potential of innovation. However, current methods fall short when faced with this task. This paper introduces the Transform-o-meter; a methodology that can be used to achieve the aforementioned goal, and be applied to any innovation, both material and immaterial. While this method can effectively be used for the mentioned purpose, it should be taken as a first approach; to be iterated, researched, and expanded further upon.

This article compares artificial intelligence with the invention of electricity while talking about its transformative impact because when discovered electricity and when it was widely adopted, it had a radical impact on the global economy and as well as on our day-to-day existence. The widespread adoption of electricity radically transformed every sector of the economy, including agriculture, manufacturing, and services, and it also radically altered virtually every aspect of our existence. In this regard, artificial intelligence is somewhat similar to electricity as far as its transformative impact is concerned. How will A.I. Boost the Country's Growth and Economy? Artificial intelligence is not just a futuristic technology, but it has already embedded itself into our daily lives.

COVID-19 has impacted the world in unprecedented ways, fast-tracking the use of digital tools and innovation to adapt. In a previous blog, we outlined six key technology trends driving social and behavioural changes in West Africa as a result of COVID-19. As we look towards life after the pandemic, we revisit some of these trends and detail key frontier technologies gaining traction in developing economies. The pandemic has driven the uptake of big data public-private partnerships for crisis response. Layering multiple types of data points (including mobile phone data, satellite imagery, ground weather measurements and open street maps) can be extremely effective when combined.

Artificial intelligence is not just a futuristic technology, but it has already embedded itself into our daily lives. Be it the customized recommendations that we get on our phones and websites, or be it GPS-based navigation, or be it a predictive text that completes the sentences when we try to send an e-mail or a message, they're all driven by artificial intelligence-based smart algorithms.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is having a transformative impact on the financial markets. While delivering enormous efficiencies and lowering barriers to entry, the technology also brings challenges and risks with it – and particularly so when it comes to the overall stability of the market. Distilling insights from the 15 sources including Accenture, Deloitte, HFS Research, McKinsey, Thomson Reuters & PWC, this Impact Brief provides time-poor professionals with insights that are easy-to-read and digest, and can be read in less than 10 minutes.

Keeping'an ear to the ground' through social media to follow and join in conversations regarding the impact and potential of AI in radiology applications is increasing gaining new'followers'. In a study published in the Current Problems in Diagnostic Radiology, researchers present an overview of using Twitter to characterise public perspectives regarding AI and radiology. The report states that while there remain to be challenges, the discussions analysed were overwhelmingly positive toward the transformative impact of AI on radiology. In addition, the overall consensus showed perspectives were against the argument that AI may be replacing radiologists. The researchers suggest that radiologists should engage more in this online social media dialog.

In October, Ireland-based travel tech firm Avvio launched a world first: a booking platform powered by artificial intelligence. It's called Allora and, according to Frank Reeves, Avvio's Co-founder and CEO, it promises to transform not only hotel bookings, but the hotel experience. Frank told us more about how the platform works, how it's already challenging Booking.com and Expedia's dominance, and why AI is something to embrace, not fear, for hospitality staff. "Allora's aim is to help hotels increase their direct bookings, by which I mean bookings from their own website. The biggest pain point hotels have right now is the dominance of online travel agents like Booking.com and Expedia – they drive the lion's share of direct bookings, and take commissions of between 15 and 25% in some cases. "Our platform, which optimises itself using AI, personalises not just individual guest experiences, but the outcomes of those experiences – so it can do a better job the next time around.

The paper takes a look at how brands can make the most of machines in 2018, from facilitating seamless consumer experiences to delivering greater efficiencies. Feedback shows that the transformative impact of Voice, AI, and Machine Learning is being felt across the entire business landscape with 55% of marketers surveyed agreeing that Machine Learning will allow them to make better decisions in 2018. "In an increasingly complex digital economy, Machine Learning is set to play a pivotal role in our ecosystem. In India, we are already feeling these forces of change – driving better data understanding, enabling personalized conversation at scale and delivering greater efficiencies. We are at an inflection point where brands need to learn how to marry human capital and machines in order to succeed in the transformation that lies ahead," said Rubeena Singh, CEO, iProspect India.
