So much debate still rages about Artificial Intelligence (AI) and what it means for the future of society and humanity. While this continues, governments around the world are actively embracing the prospect of transforming their departments into smart digital governments that are able to deliver improved services to organisations and
Considering the growing amount of data available and the rise of edge computing, we can expect rapid growth for AI and decisions on the edge (addressed in AI on the edge will kick IoT market adoption, not 5G). All of this influences how we can cope with the speed of
The question of what happens to the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland as the UK leaves the European Union is one of the most taxing challenges affecting the Brexit negotiations. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is not something that magically produces an answer to every difficult question –
Incontrare Roberto Verganti in occasione di Analytics Experience 2018 è stata una grande emozione. E' un enorme piacere ascoltare dal vivo questo professore del Politecnico di Milano, che dal palco trasmette la stessa energia che ritroviamo nei suoi libri. Ho sentito parlare per la prima volta di lui nel 2010 quando
I have a confession to make. I’m a gaming enthusiast. Possibly even a gaming nerd. I really love computer games, and not just to play them. I’m interested in how they are made, how they work, and how they might develop in future. I’m particularly interested in how artificial intelligence
A picture paints a thousand words – to humans, at least. Traditionally, however, images have made little sense to computers, which have no conception of the meaning behind the strings of code that make up a digital image. Of course, some computers have long had the ability to identify and
Listening to Roberto Verganti at Analytics Experience 2018 was a great experience. It is an enormous pleasure to watch this professor from Milan Polytechnic, who transmits the same energy in person that he puts into his books. I first came across him in 2010, when thanks to SAS, I took
A recent survey by Forbes found that 73 percent of organisations are already piloting, experimenting or planning to deploy artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms. AI is driving a transformation across industries. In banking, for example, natural language processing is being used to explore sources of unstructured data such as customer comments,
The epoch of artificial intelligence and real-time decision engines is not the first time that historical and actual behaviour of customers has been tracked and analysed. The practice of making decisions based on these findings and applying them in real time to customer interactions was already going on in the
AI is everywhere these days, whether in reality or just as a hyped-up label for some simple rules based decisioning, and this has led to some interesting problems. The first of these is mistrust, as noted by the incoming president of the British Science Association, Professor Jim Al-Khalili: “There's a
