Will smart machines really replace human workers? Probably not. People and AI both bring different abilities and strengths to the table. The real question is: how can human intelligence work with artificial intelligence to produce augmented intelligence. Chess Grandmaster Garry Kasparov offers some unique insight here. After losing to IBM’s

Machine learning is an application of artificial intelligence (AI) that provides systems the ability to automatically learn and improve from experience without being explicitly programmed. Machine learning focuses on the development of computer programs that can access data and use it to learn for themselves.
XAI Can Help Banks Confront The “Black-Box” Nature Of Their Machine Learning Models By Making AI More Explainable, Intuitive, And Understandable
In 2016, author and trained mathematician Cathy O’Neil posited that machine learning models, left unchecked, can easily turn into “Weapons of Math Destruction.” She further suggested that as these algorithms become “highly efficient, seemingly arbitrary, and utterly unaccountable… no one will understand their logic or be able to explain it.”
Prescriptive Analytics: The Final Stage Of Business Analytics
Technology has given us the ability to forecast enterprise trends and predict success in ways the business leaders of yesterday couldn’t fathom. In the past, successful businesses had to rely on small sample sizes, simple questionnaires, and other ways of gathering of data to predict general trends, but not anymore.
Deep Learning Shows Some Promises, But Yet To Deliver On Its Own Hype
A few years back I jumped on the “machine learning will eliminate the need for radiologists” bandwagon. It wasn’t my smartest prediction. In my failure, however, I’m joined by the biggest experts in deep learning, like Geoffrey Hinton, who in 2016 proclaimed it was “just completely obvious [that] within five

There Were Scattered Successes But In General, Diagnosing Covid, Predicting Its Course, And Managing The Care, Why AI-Based Decision Tools Failed To Deliver
The pandemic could have been the moment when AI made good on its promising potential. There was an unprecedented convergence of the need for fast, evidence-based decisions and large-scale problem-solving with datasets spilling out of every country in the world. Instead, AI failed in myriad, specific ways that underscore where
To Implement, Scale, And Maintain AI Ethical Risk Mitigation Strategies, Companies Should Begin With Understanding Of The Problems They’re Trying To Solve
While concerns about AI and ethical violations have become common in companies, turning these anxieties into actionable conversations can be tough. With the complexities of machine learning, ethics, and of their points of intersection, there are no quick fixes, and conversations around these issues can feel nebulous and abstract. Getting
AI Model Bias Can Significantly Damage Trust Of Employees, Customers, And The Public, But There Are Ways To Prevent It
AI influences decisions across the enterprise, but bias can do far-reaching damage to trust and stakeholder relationships. The good news is that there are ways to protect yourself.
