The initial promise of artificial intelligence as a broad – based tool for solving business problems has given way to something much more limited but still quite useful: algorithms from data science that make predictions better than we have been able to do so far. In contrast to standard statistical

Artificial Intelligence – What, How And Why?
What I learnt after a year in an AI consultancy and how it can accelerate your understanding of AI. Last week marks my one year in business development for a London-based AI consultancy. During that time, I have been challenged by the sheer scale of the learning curve presented by
How To Use Artificial Intelligence For Social Good – AI For Future
As the Fourth Industrial Revolution evolves, frontier technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) are reshaping our economies, societies and the environment. AI is opening up economic opportunities with companies large and small empowered to grow their businesses. From a social perspective, AI provides a host of benefits. Machine learning algorithms
Augmented Intelligence – Go Beyond Artificial Intelligence
The nasal test for Covid-19 requires a nurse to insert a 6-inch long swab deep into your nasal passages. The nurse inserts this long-handled swab into both of your nostrils and moves it around for 15 seconds. Now, imagine that your nurse is a robot. A few months ago, a
Artificial Intelligence – Five Years From Now
The field of artificial intelligence moves fast. It has only been 8 years since the modern era of deep learning began at the 2012 ImageNet competition. Progress in the field since then has been breathtaking and relentless. If anything, this breakneck pace is only accelerating. Five years from now, the
Not Just How You Do But, What You Do Also Change By Artificial Intelligence
Few leaders would dispute the fact that business today is driven by data and smart algorithms. Yet, rather than real digital transformation, many instead pursue digital incrementalism, using automation to cut costs or, worse – cut jobs. Doing so might buy you some time from impatient shareholders, but it will

Why Artificial Intelligence Revolution Is Matter To Your Business?
As a species, humanity has witnessed three previous industrial revolutions: first came steam/water power, followed by electricity, then computing. Now, we’re in the midst of a fourth industrial revolution, one driven by artificial intelligence and big data. I like to refer to this as the “Intelligence Revolution.” But whatever we
Why You Should Use Artificial Intelligence To Make More Intelligent Products
Thanks to the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and advances in sensor technology, a whole host of everyday products are getting smarter. We have smart TVs and smartwatches. We have smart running shoes – or rather, smart insoles – that gather data on your running performance. You can
How SMEs Can Compete Against Big Companies With The Help Of Artificial Intelligence
The current economic environment enables many large companies to succeed, while many small and medium businesses (SMBs) are suffering. Adding to this divide are the changes created by AI. Right now, larger companies are investing in AI because they recognize the opportunity to dominate a market using this technology. Big
An Interview With Dr. Ben Goertzel – Is Artificial General Intelligence Really Here?
The ultimate vision of artificial intelligence are systems that can handle the wide range of cognitive tasks that humans can. The idea of a single, general intelligence is referred to as Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), which encopmasses the idea of a single, generally intelligent system that can act and think
Fully Automated Luxury Capitalism And Artificial Intelligence
In the future, machines will replace humans in jobs. This is not controversial: it’s what machines have done since well before the start of the industrial revolution. Petrol pump attendants were replaced by automated pumps, secretaries were replaced by Microsoft Office. This is what economists call the substitutive effect of automation: humans are substituted in jobs by machines.
