For what purpose was the dataset created? Was there a specific task in mind? The specific task in mind was freeway traffic anomaly detection at the lane level, which involves detecting unusual incidents like vehicle accidents, malfunctions, or severe weather conditions that could affect traffic flow. Who created the dataset (e.g., which team, research group) and on behalf of which entity (e.g., Who funded the creation of the dataset?

Remember when AI came onto the scene and shook, well, everybody? Most people were fascinated by it, and others thought (or wished) the AI hype would die out eventually. The fact of the matter is AI is here to stay, and it might be time to start learning how to use it to your advantage. Just imagine saving time at work--that's what AI can help you do, as well as attending meetings for you and checking off your never-ending list of to-dos from your boss. The only downside is if you're new to the tool, you probably don't know which platform to use.

Workday, the HR and finance management company, is the latest tech giant to lay off a mass of employees in the name of AI. In a Wednesday announcement titled "Changes to Position Workday for the Future," the organization shared that it's eliminating 1,750 employees, about 8.5 percent of its workforce. The public statement from CEO Carl Eschenbach was initially emailed to employees. Within a series of paragraphs in which Eschenbach acted really torn up about choosing AI over people, he summed up this trend pretty clearly: "Companies everywhere are reimagining how work gets done, and the increasing demand for AI has the potential to drive a new era of growth for Workday." Eschenbach later adds that Workday will be "prioritizing innovation investments like AI and platform development, and rigorously evaluating the ROI of others across the board."

Artificial intelligence is likely to replace or at least lend a hand in tasks that take up almost three-quarters of the time bank employees now spend working. That's the conclusion of a new analysis by consultancy Accenture, which said banking has the potential to benefit more from the technology than any other industry. Just 27% of employees' time currently has a low potential of being transformed, according to the analysis. "There is a reinvention that is happening across banks, a way for firms to step back and reevaluate ways of working," Keri Smith, global banking data and AI lead at Accenture, said in an interview.

This article is from Big Technology, a newsletter by Alex Kantrowitz. This week, Microsoft and Google introduced generative A.I. tools that make attending meetings, writing emails, scheduling travel, and catching up on projects vastly easier. The products channel the wonder of buzzy A.I. products like ChatGPT, DALL-E, Midjourney, and Bard into clear, applicable uses. And these obvious uses just happen to be in the workplace. About a year into the generative A.I. phenomenon, it's becoming evident that the technology is most useful in enterprise first, with broader consumer adoption perhaps to follow.

There's been a lot of discussion on the use of artificial intelligence and the future of work. Will human creativity be usurped by bots? How will A.I. be incorporated into the finance function?
