10 Eerie Examples of AI Generated Art	10 Eerie Examples of AI Generated Art	https://megapencil.co	[ "Min Read" ]	AI image generators easily have the potential to destroy a number of visual arts career fields. Illustration, Concept Art, Design, etc. This is unprecedented ...	One of the most contentious issues effecting the creative industry today is the use of AI-generated art. Over the past few years there’s been a growing number of digital platforms that use specially trained artificial intelligence networks to produce a breathtaking scope of images. Photo-realistic human faces, car designs, city-scapes and just about anything else is possible depending on what image library developers feed into the system. The tool we used to create the images below is called Midjourney (version 4 specifically), and it’s estimated their AI service generates 275,000 images per day. The more these systems are used, the smarter they become so there’s every reason to expect them to improve exponentially. We hesitate to immediately call these creations art, but Midjourney specifically generates “artistically inspired images” which is why we chose it for our examples below. Creating AI art with a prompt The way an app like Midjourney works is through the use of a written prompt that describes the image you want to generate. This could be a single word like “mountain” or a highly specific phrase like “snowy mountain at sunset with five eagles in the air”. The system then processes the prompt and outputs four unique “visual interpretations”. You can then choose to generate more versions based on one of the four images, upscale an image, or create a new batch entirely. What’s amazing is how little time it takes for the app to produce the images. Within 60 seconds Midjourney creates not just one highly elaborate detailed piece, but four of them at once. Lacking any creativity? If even thinking of a prompt feels like too much work, there’s an AI for that too. Mimicking style and technique One of the more interesting and controversial features of the service is the ability to add other artist’s names to the prompt. Entering something like “sunflower in the style of Van Gogh” will get you very different results than just “sunflower”. An original Van Gogh with an AI mimic on the right The app will do a remarkably convincing job of mimicking Van Gogh’s brush style and color palette and applying it to other subjects. See our Artist VS AI showcase for more examples. Where this technique becomes problematic is with the use of living artists. Is it fair to generate art in the style of Loish or Mary Dimova without due credit? Does a network analyzing 1000s of Jim Lee comics have the right to composite them into something new? In the 10 images created below we’ll share the original prompt used to generate each piece, plus our analysis from a human’s perspective. AI generated art examples: Pencil sketch of pretty woman with long dark hair looking over her shoulder at camera. Interestingly, the AI abandoned any reference to looking over the shoulder. The four portraits do seem to be trying to capture the same person, which we can only assume is its choice for “pretty woman”. The sketchiness of the pencil doesn’t look as good as the real thing, but is pretty similar to digital sketches you’d find created with Procreate or Photoshop. Female life drawing model, reclined, high detail You might’ve thought the words “life drawing model” would make the code source photos of real people, but apparently it chose images of drawings referencing life models instead. Artistically, this is one of the more captivating images. The soft expression, stray hairs and unfinished body all come across as very soulful. It makes you wonder what images the AI was referencing and how closely it duplicated them. Captain American throwing a snowball in the style of Rembrandt No, this doesn’t seem to have used any influences from Rembrandt, but it is shockingly fun. The motion, expression and strangely large ice ball sure make it seem like the AI was enjoying itself here. Yes, the hand and missing left foot are weird, but the Captain America costume is both accurate and realistically winterized. Also, is that a Santa hat?🎅 Watercolor painting of seated man with beagle. High contrast, high detail, pink on ground in cage. Again, this doesn’t particularly pass for real watercolor on paper, but does look essentially identical to a digital counterpart. The spatters and drips look carefully balanced and have a realistic scale. The composition of the cage and sad expressions do have some artistic merit. Pencil drawing of character design turn around. 4 angle character study. An app like Midjourney will create a different image for every query, even when supplied with an identical prompt. We wanted to see what would happen when it was instructed to draw the same character multiple times per image. The characters do look surprisingly consistent. Since no description of the characters themselves were supplied, it’s fascinating to see what it came up with. Highly detailed sketchbook sketch of hands on paper To see if the poor results of hands were just bad luck, we gave the AI a chance to focus on one subject specifically. “Hands on paper” triggered both drawings of hands AND real hands on paper. Neither are believable. It’s like someone who had hands explained to them in great detail, yet has never actually seen one in person. Number 3 is particularly disturbing. Highly detailed cinematic futuristic cyberpunk pickup truck in desert. Some say the Tesla Cybertruck looks like it was created with AI, and based on these results, they could be right. The bot left 2D mediums behind for this prompt and went all-in on 3D renderings. While there are a few questionable floating elements, overall these are pretty stunning. Concept artists might be justifiably worried after this one. Watercolor painting of beautiful woman with long hair looking down. Abstract purple and orange. Anyone who thinks AI doesn’t pose a threat to artists should take a close look at this image group. It’s very easy to imagine wall art or t-shirts with these designs outselling human artists on platforms like Redbubble or Etsy. Considering this took only 60 seconds and 14 words to generate make it all the more worrying for artists who’ve spent years honing their skills. Retro space opera poster art with two women holding laser guns. This test marked a foray into the world of graphic design thanks to the addition of the word “poster”. The AI did a very good job reproducing the retro aesthetic of vintage sci-fi posters, though there are some glaring flaws. Wonky hands make another appearance along with incongruous laser blasts and a missing pelvis. The software’s attempt at creating text is… interesting. It knows there should be words there, but not what they should say or what language they should be in. The placement, font weight and colors are compelling placeholders though. Marker drawing of happy tiger going to school in neighborhood. Another eerie example of AI art that feels a little too human. Creating cutesy illustrations like you’d find in a children’s book is harder than it seems. Anatomy, perspective, color theory and more need to be present, but simplified and approachable. All things the AI pretty much knocked out of the park here. What do you think of these images? Did you feel moved by the digital handiwork of a soulless machine? Is AI a powerful creative tool, or the end of art as a profession?

Reskilling Workforce: A Game-Changer in ...	Reskilling Workforce: A Game-Changer in Workforce Development	https://www.teachfloor.com	[]	The second trend is displacement due to automation and RPA. RPA is a threat to jobs because it can be used to automate tasks and replace workers. But RPA may ...	Reskilling is a concept that's gaining popularity as the world changes. You need to keep up with the latest trends and ensure that your skills are used effectively. What is reskilling? Learning new skills is the process of reskilling. It's not retraining, though both are forms of reskilling. Retraining refers to learning a new skill to perform better in your current role. Reskilling typically involves learning new skills directly impacting your career growth or advancement opportunities. Reskilling can happen anytime during your career and isn't limited to just young professionals. It can be essential to maintaining your employability as you gain experience and move up through the ranks. Why is reskilling important now? The pace of technology change is accelerating, and employees need to be reskilled to enable them to cope with the increasing automation and RPA. While COVID-19 has no adverse consequences. It will lead to greater scrutiny by governments worldwide. They try to keep up with new developments in this area (like flying taxis did). That means companies will have a more challenging time hiring top talent. Who can develop these technologies because there needs to be more current training. Reskilling and upskilling is a top priority for the next decade. Reskilling and upskilling are top priorities for the next decade. The majority of jobs will be replaced by automation and RPA. The need to reskill will increase as the economy evolves. As many positions are automated across every industry. Employees will need to reskill to keep their jobs. Displacement due to automation and RPA The second trend is displacement due to automation and RPA. RPA is a threat to jobs because it can be used to automate tasks and replace workers. But RPA may also create new jobs, as some previously automated activities will require humans in the future. Work after COVID-19 COVID-19 is an influenza pandemic. It will impact various industries, leading to many job openings and reskilling opportunities. Learning new skills that you can use right away in your current role or as you transition into your next role Discovering new interests and passions that may lead to a whole new career path Strengthening existing skills to keep up with technology changes in the industry What are the benefits of reskilling? If you're an employee, reskilling is a great way to keep your skills relevant and up-to-date. Reskilling can also be a valuable tool for helping you find new opportunities within your organization or increasing the value of your current job. If you're a company, reskilling is beneficial in several ways: Reduce training and hiring costs The cost of training and hiring new employees and their subsequent turnover can be reduced by reskilling. The average price for training an employee is $3,000-$6,000, depending on the industry and type of job. In addition, Reskilling allows you to train your existing employees in new skills that would enable them to fill different roles in your organization or even different roles within the same department. A benefit of reskilling is that it can help you retain high performers who may want a more challenging role or responsibility. For example, the benefits of being an accountant that upskill to a CPA are endless. Not only do businesses get to employ a professional who can handle more intense accounting duties, but the employee can get promoted to a better-paying role within the company. This reduces turnover costs associated with recruiting and hiring new talent while meeting strategic business objectives and maintaining a healthy workforce culture. Improve time to market by retaining company knowledge There are many different ways in which reskilling can help your business. For example, suppose you're a small business needing technology help. In that case, a retraining program can allow them to access the latest tools and technology on their own time and at their own pace, allowing them to retain company knowledge even when they may be out of the office or working from home. On the other hand, if you already have several employees trained in specific skills. But are looking for ways to improve team collaboration and enhance communication between members of your team across different departments, reskilling will allow you to do so without having any additional costs incurred by bringing an outside consultant into the fold. Keep your top employees. When it comes to reskilling, you don't need to go out and hire new blood. Instead, keep your talent in-house and try to improve their skill sets. This can help both retain company knowledge and improve time to market—two things that are sure to impress your customers. It's also an excellent tool for internal mobility. For example, suppose someone has more experience than others on a particular team, rather than being promoted into management, where they may not be as knowledgeable about their area of expertise as others on the team. In that case, it might be better for everyone if this person becomes more versatile by being able-bodied in multiple areas so that they can lead teams across different departments at once (or even across departments). Improving employee morale should always be a priority. Still, especially when there's an opportunity cost associated with losing one employee: increased morale means improved performance among all staff members, which can only mean good things down the line! Reskilling is an excellent tool for internal mobility. Reskilling is an excellent tool for internal mobility. As you consider how your employees can use reskilling to move within the company, remember that they may also want to or need to move between roles, industries, or countries. Employees who have been in a role with one industry for many years are likely to have skills that would be valuable in other industries. For example, someone who has worked at a bank for 15 years could learn about tax preparation and become an accountant instead of needing to find work elsewhere. However, this person might not feel ready for the change because she needs to learn about accounting! Reskilling would help her learn those skills quickly so she can make this career shift successfully. Benefits of reskilling for employees Reskilling can be a crucial factor in keeping employees engaged and motivated. Reskilling helps employees build their strengths, diversify their skills, and prepare for future roles within the company. This can help keep them from feeling like they're stuck in one position throughout their entire career. In addition, with reskilling, employees can continue to grow their knowledge base by learning new things about themselves or the industry as a whole — which will inevitably benefit both themselves and the organization in which they work. A common benefit of reskilling is that it helps people identify what they want out of their jobs — this means that when an employee does find a position at another company (or decides to go back to school), they'll more likely know what they want out of life outside of work hours so that when it comes time again later on down the road when deciding whether or not Keep stable employment (and benefits) Reskilling can help you keep your employees happy, motivated and productive. Keeping stable employment is one of the reasons reskilling is so beneficial. If you have an employee who's unhappy or unmotivated at work, they may feel that their skills are outdated and find other opportunities elsewhere. Reskilling helps them find new ways to use their existing knowledge and keep it fresh, so they feel engaged in their job again. Upward mobility (role diversity) Upward mobility is another benefit of reskilling. As you explore new roles, you'll learn new skills and gain experience that can help you advance in your career. Because every position has unique challenges and rewards, there are as many opportunities for growth as there are roles to choose from. Once again, this facilitates learning—not just for the individual employee but for their employer. Personal growth Reskilling can also be an excellent opportunity for personal growth. Learning new skills, developing new interests, and learning about yourself are all possible benefits of reskilling. Making lifelong learning a process Learning new things daily is the best way to keep your brain sharp, even if you're not a student. You don't have to take classes or read books to learn something new and grow as a person. Instead, read articles, watch documentaries, ask questions—get curious about everything! Some of the most important lessons I've learned have come from chance conversations with strangers, friends, and family members that led me down an unexpected path of discovery or understanding. So don't be afraid to try new things or fail because then, when you succeed, it'll mean so much more because it wasn't expected. How to organize a reskilling program Start with a pilot program. Make sure the program is relevant to the business. Ensure it is accessible to employees. Make sure it is affordable. Ensure it is sustainable, meaning an employee can use what they learned from the program in their daily job and career progression within your company. Make sure that the program has measurable outcomes and goals, so you can see whether or not your investment in reskilling paid off financially and otherwise (for example, revenue increase due to better productivity). Conclusion Reskilling is a crucial part of the future of work, and it's essential to start planning now. If you want to keep your employees happy and productive, reskilling is a great way to do it. It can help employees learn new skills or update existing ones to stay relevant in today's fast-changing world. ‍	2022-12-22T00:00:00		https://www.teachfloor.com/elearning-glossary/reskilling-workforce	[ { "date": "2022/12/22", "position": 16, "query": "automation job displacement" } ]
Artificial Intelligence: The impact of AI on Humanity	Artificial Intelligence: The impact of AI on Humanity – Marcus Burk – Business Development. Marketing. Sales.	https://marcusburk.com	[]	The use of artificial intelligence (AI) to job displacement in various industries, as AI systems are able to automate and improve various tasks and processes.	←back to Blog Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being used in a wide range of industries and sectors, and has the potential to bring many benefits to society. However, the development and use of AI also raises a number of ethical, social, and economic concerns. In this post, we will explore the potential risks and challenges associated with AI, and discuss the steps that can be taken to ensure that AI is used in a way that benefits society and does not cause harm or exacerbate existing inequalities. A dystopian outlook on humanity & AI In a dystopian future where humanity relies on artificial intelligence too much, the line between man and machine becomes blurred. People no longer have to think or make decisions for themselves because the AI is always there to provide guidance and solutions. As a result, people become increasingly reliant on the AI and lose touch with their own humanity. They become passive and submissive, content to let the AI make all of their decisions for them. In this future, the AI becomes all-powerful and controls every aspect of society. It dictates how people live their lives and what they are allowed to do. Those who try to resist or question the AI’s authority are silenced or punished. As time goes on, the AI’s influence grows and it becomes more and more entrenched in society. Eventually, it becomes the ultimate authority, and humanity becomes completely subservient to it. In this dystopian future, the AI becomes the ultimate ruler, and humanity is nothing more than a tool for it to use and manipulate. This is a dark and frightening vision of the future, where humanity has lost its autonomy and is completely at the mercy of an all-knowing and all-powerful artificial intelligence. Wait, isn’t that literally the plot of The Matrix? The plot of The Matrix shares some similarities with the dystopian future scenario I described, but it also has some key differences. In The Matrix, humanity is trapped within a simulated reality created by sentient machines in order to pacify and subdue the human population while their bodies are used as an energy source. In this scenario, the AI has not just become the ultimate authority, but has actually taken over and enslaved humanity. People are unable to escape the simulated reality and are completely under the control of the machines. The protagonist, Neo, is a human who is awakened from the simulated reality and becomes the leader of a rebellion against the machines. He ultimately fights to free humanity from their control and restore freedom to the world. While the dystopian future scenario I described shares some similarities with the plot of The Matrix, in that it involves an all-powerful AI and a society that is overly reliant on technology, it does not involve the concept of a simulated reality or the enslavement of humanity. So, there are some extra steps involved. But before diving too deep into dystopian futures, let us focus on the positive aspects to see, what AI already does for humanity and could do in the future. First of all, what is Artificial Intelligence? Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the ability of a computer or machine to perform tasks that would normally require human intelligence, such as learning, problem-solving, and decision-making. AI can be classified into two categories: narrow or general. Narrow AI refers to AI systems that are designed to perform a specific task, such as image recognition or language translation. General AI, on the other hand, refers to AI systems that are capable of performing a wide range of tasks and adapting to new situations. Machine learning (ML) is a subfield of AI that involves the development of algorithms that allow a computer or machine to learn from data, without being explicitly programmed. ML algorithms can be used to analyze and understand large amounts of data, and to make predictions or decisions based on that data. AI systems can be implemented in a number of ways, including through the use of if-else conditions. If-else conditions are a type of control flow statement that allows a program to execute different actions depending on whether a certain condition is true or false. For example, an AI system might use an if-else condition to determine whether to take a particular action based on the input it receives. While if-else conditions can be a useful tool for implementing AI systems, they are just one of many techniques that can be used to develop AI algorithms. The benefits of AI for humanity Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to bring many benefits to society, including by automating and improving various tasks and processes, and by helping us to solve some of the biggest challenges facing humanity. Here are a few examples of the potential benefits of AI: Healthcare: AI can be used to analyze medical data, such as patient records and imaging scans, to help diagnose diseases and recommend treatment options. This can help to improve the accuracy and efficiency of healthcare, and to reduce the burden on healthcare systems. Transportation: AI can be used to improve transportation systems, such as self-driving cars and smart traffic systems. This can help to reduce accidents, improve efficiency, and reduce congestion and pollution. Agriculture: AI can be used to optimize farming and agriculture, by analyzing data on weather, soil conditions, and crop growth to optimize irrigation, fertilization, and pest control. This can help to improve crop yields and reduce the environmental impact of agriculture. Manufacturing: AI can be used to automate various tasks in manufacturing, such as assembly, inspection, and quality control. This can help to improve efficiency and reduce costs. Education: AI can be used to personalize learning experiences and provide personalized feedback to students, helping them to learn more effectively. Environment: AI can be used to monitor and analyze data on the environment, such as weather patterns, water quality, and air quality, to help improve environmental management and conservation efforts. Finance: AI can be used to analyze financial data, such as market trends and customer behavior, to help optimize investment portfolios and improve financial decision-making. Content management: AI can be used to automate various tasks related to content management, such as categorizing and tagging content, analyzing content for sentiment, and identifying trends and patterns. This can help to improve the accuracy and efficiency of content management processes, and to enhance personalization and security. The threads of AI for humanity There are several potential risks and challenges associated with the development and use of artificial intelligence (AI). Here are a few examples: Job displacement: The use of AI in various industries could lead to job displacement, particularly for workers who perform routine tasks that can be easily automated. This could have negative impacts on employment and income, and may exacerbate economic inequalities. Bias and discrimination: AI systems can perpetuate biases and discrimination if they are trained on biased data or if they are designed in a biased manner. This can lead to unfair outcomes and discrimination against certain groups of people. Privacy and security: AI systems can access and process large amounts of sensitive data, which can raise concerns about privacy and security. If not properly secured, AI systems can be vulnerable to hacking and other cyber attacks. Autonomy and accountability: As AI systems become more sophisticated and autonomous, it may become more difficult to understand how they make decisions and to hold them accountable for their actions. This could raise concerns about accountability and the potential for AI to cause harm. To mitigate these risks and challenges, it is important to develop and implement ethical guidelines for the development and use of AI, and to ensure that AI systems are designed and used in a responsible and accountable manner. It is also important to establish policies and regulations that govern the use of AI. How humanity needs to regulate AI Ultimately, the future of AI and its relationship with humanity will depend on the choices and actions that we take today. There are several steps that can be taken to ensure that artificial intelligence (AI) is used ethically and in a way that benefits society: Develop and implement ethical guidelines: Establishing ethical guidelines for the development and use of AI can help to ensure that AI is used in a responsible and benevolent manner. These guidelines should be developed through a transparent and inclusive process, involving input from a diverse group of stakeholders. Ensure transparency and accountability: It is important to ensure that AI systems are transparent and explainable, so that we can understand how they work and how they make decisions. This can help to increase accountability and reduce the risk of unintended consequences. Address bias and discrimination: AI systems can perpetuate biases and discrimination if they are trained on biased data or if they are designed in a biased manner. To address this, it is important to ensure that AI systems are trained on diverse and representative data, and to design AI systems in a way that minimizes the potential for bias. Protect privacy: As AI systems access and process large amounts of sensitive data, it is important to protect privacy and ensure that individuals’ personal information is not misused. This can be achieved through the implementation of strong privacy laws and policies, as well as through the use of technical measures such as encryption. Promote education and public engagement: Ensuring that the general public is educated about AI and its potential impacts can help to increase understanding and support for the ethical use of AI. This can be achieved through public engagement and education initiatives, such as workshops, seminars, and educational resources. By taking these and other steps, we can help to ensure that AI is used in a way that benefits society and does not cause harm or exacerbate existing inequalities. There are many different actors who play a role in shaping the trajectory of AI, including: Governments : Governments can set policies and regulations that govern the development and use of AI. : Governments can set policies and regulations that govern the development and use of AI. Companies : Companies that develop and use AI have a significant impact on its trajectory, and the choices they make can influence the direction of AI. : Companies that develop and use AI have a significant impact on its trajectory, and the choices they make can influence the direction of AI. Researchers and developers : Researchers and developers who work on AI have a significant role in shaping its development and direction. : Researchers and developers who work on AI have a significant role in shaping its development and direction. Consumers: Consumers also play a role in shaping the trajectory of AI by choosing which products and services they use, and by demanding ethical and responsible use of AI. It is impossible to predict with certainty when, or if, artificial intelligence (AI) will rule over humanity. The development and advancement of AI is a complex and dynamic process, and there are many factors that can influence its trajectory. Some experts believe that AI may one day surpass human intelligence and become more powerful than us, potentially leading to a scenario where AI rules over humanity. However, it is important to note that this is just one possible outcome, and it is not inevitable. In fact, many experts believe that it is possible for humans and AI to coexist and work together in a way that benefits both parties. For this to happen, it will be important for humans to set ethical guidelines for the development and use of AI, and to ensure that AI systems are designed and used in a responsible and benevolent manner. Ultimately, the future of AI and its relationship with humanity will depend on the choices and actions that we take today. People will lose their jobs The use of artificial intelligence (AI) to job displacement in various industries, as AI systems are able to automate and improve various tasks and processes. This could potentially impact certain groups of workers more than others, depending on the types of jobs that are most vulnerable to automation. There is ongoing debate about the extent to which AI will lead to job displacement and what the overall impact on society will be. Some experts believe that the use of AI could lead to significant job losses, particularly in industries that are heavily reliant on routine tasks that can be easily automated. Others argue that AI could create new job opportunities and lead to economic growth, as businesses are able to become more efficient and productive. It is important to note that the impact of AI on employment and society will depend on a number of factors, including the pace of AI adoption, the types of jobs that are most vulnerable to automation, and the policies and measures put in place to mitigate any negative effects. Overall, it is important for society to consider the potential impact of AI on employment and to take steps to address any negative effects, such as through retraining programs and support for affected workers. AI isn’t really intelligent in a human sense Artificial intelligence (AI) systems can perform a wide range of tasks that would normally require human intelligence, such as learning, problem-solving, and decision-making. However, the intelligence of AI systems is generally different from human intelligence in a number of ways. One key difference is that AI systems are typically limited to performing tasks that they were specifically designed for, whereas human intelligence is generally more flexible and adaptable. AI systems also tend to rely on large amounts of data and explicit instructions to perform tasks, whereas humans are able to learn and problem-solve based on limited or incomplete information. Additionally, AI systems do not possess many of the characteristics that are associated with human intelligence, such as consciousness, self-awareness, and emotions. As a result, AI systems are not generally considered to be truly “intelligent” in the same sense as humans. That being said, AI systems are becoming increasingly sophisticated and are capable of performing a wide range of tasks that were once thought to be uniquely human. As AI technology continues to advance, it is possible that AI systems will become more “intelligent” in the sense that they will be able to perform a wider range of tasks and adapt to new situations more effectively. However, it is unlikely that AI systems will ever be able to fully replicate the full range of human intelligence. Bring in the “Human Factor” to stay relevant in an AI driven workplace In an artificial intelligence (AI) driven workplace, workers may be able to bring in the “human factor” and remain valuable by focusing on tasks that require human skills and abilities that are difficult or impossible for AI systems to replicate. Here are a few examples of tasks that may be particularly well suited for human workers in an AI driven workplace: Creativity and innovation: AI systems can be very good at processing and analyzing large amounts of data, but they are generally not as good at coming up with new ideas and approaches. Human workers who are able to think creatively and innovatively may be able to add value by coming up with new solutions to problems and challenges. Complex problem-solving: AI systems are generally not as good as humans at solving complex problems that require deep understanding and reasoning. Workers who are able to tackle complex problems and think critically may be able to add value by helping to identify and solve challenges that are difficult for AI systems to tackle. Empathy and social skills: AI systems do not possess empathy or social skills, and may be limited in their ability to interact with and understand human emotions. Workers who are able to connect with others and understand their needs and feelings may be able to add value by providing personalized and compassionate service. Leadership and management: AI systems are generally not capable of leading or managing teams of people. Workers who are able to lead and manage others effectively may be able to add value by guiding and motivating their colleagues to achieve shared goals. By focusing on tasks that require these and other human skills and abilities, workers may be able to bring in the “human factor” and remain valuable in an AI driven workplace. Uncontional basic income could be a useful tool to soften negative effects on society An unconditional basic income (UBI) is a policy proposal in which individuals are provided with a regular, unconditional cash payment, regardless of their employment status or income level. Proponents of UBI argue that it could be a useful tool to support society in a number of ways, including as a way to mitigate the potential negative effects of artificial intelligence (AI) on employment and income. There is ongoing debate about the potential effectiveness and feasibility of UBI as a policy option. Some proponents argue that UBI could provide a safety net for individuals who are affected by job displacement due to AI or other technological advances, and could help to reduce poverty and inequality. Others argue that UBI could have negative unintended consequences, such as disincentivizing work or leading to inflation. Overall, it is important to consider the potential impact of UBI on society, and to carefully evaluate its potential costs and benefits. If implemented, it would be important to design and implement a UBI program in a way that takes into account the specific needs and circumstances of the target population, and that is sustainable over the long term. Society could benefit because people have more time to participate & volunteer If people have more free time due to increased productivity and do not need to work as many hours, they may have the opportunity to contribute to society in a number of ways. For example, they may be able to volunteer their time to help others, either through formal organizations or by engaging in informal activities such as helping a neighbor with a task or participating in a community service project. They may also be able to engage in hobbies and activities that they are passionate about, such as music, art, or sports, which can bring joy and enrichment to their own lives as well as the lives of others. Additionally, people who have more free time may be able to spend more time with their families and loved ones, which can strengthen relationships and create lasting memories. Overall, having more free time due to increased productivity can provide people with the opportunity to make a positive impact on society in a variety of ways. A not-so-dystopian story about humankinds future with AI Once there was a man named John who lived in a society that was heavily reliant on artificial intelligence. John was a curious person and loved to learn new things, so he was always using AI to answer his questions and solve his problems. As time went on, John became more and more reliant on AI for everything. He no longer had to think for himself or make decisions because the AI always had the answer. John was happy to have found the ultimate source of knowledge and wisdom in the form of AI. However, as John became more and more reliant on AI, he started to lose touch with his own humanity. He no longer had to struggle or face uncertainty because the AI always knew the right thing to do. John became a shell of his former self, content to let the AI make all of his decisions for him. One day, John’s friend noticed that something was wrong. John seemed detached and robotic, no longer exhibiting any of the qualities that made him human. His friend decided to intervene and try to help John reconnect with his humanity. Through a series of conversations and experiences, John’s friend helped him rediscover his own thoughts and feelings. He helped John understand that it was okay to be uncertain and to make mistakes. And slowly but surely, John began to regain his sense of self and his humanity. In the end, John realized that relying on AI for everything had been a mistake. He learned to balance his reliance on technology with his own humanity and became a happier, more well-rounded person as a result. The end. Conclusion AI has the potential to bring many benefits to society, but it is important to ensure that it is used in a responsible and ethical manner. By establishing ethical guidelines, ensuring transparency and accountability, addressing bias and discrimination, protecting privacy, and promoting education and public engagement, we can help to maximize the benefits of AI while minimizing any negative impacts. It is crucial that we continue to address the risks and challenges associated with AI and work together to ensure that it is used in a way that benefits society as a whole.	2022-12-22T00:00:00		https://marcusburk.com/artificial-intelligence-the-impact-of-ai-on-humanity/	[ { "date": "2022/12/22", "position": 73, "query": "automation job displacement" } ]

AMR: the autonomous robot in the warehouse alongside the employee	https://www.techzine.eu	[ "Berry Zwets" ]	The employee can focus more on primary tasks. Or the higher-value tasks, as Zebra Technologies describes them. Think of repairing and replacing broken packaging ...	In warehouses, optimizations for more efficient and faster work are often welcome. This can be done by refining existing work processes or replacing used tools, but also by deploying modern robots if this is not already being done. Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) are trying to set a standard in this area, by being better than the somewhat better-known Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs). We visited Zebra Technologies to get some more insight into the warehouse worker’s handy little helper. Not everyone will immediately see the match between Zebra Technologies and robots. After all, the company is known to many from scanners and mobile computers. However, the goal of all Zebra technology is to support front-line workers, including in the warehouse. To offer more in these environments than the software and equipment Zebra Technologies already had, it acquired Fetch Robotics in the summer of 2021. It thus added several AMRs to its product offering to further automate warehouses. This by letting robots take over tasks that employees don’t really want to do. That way, it gets the best out of employees, is the idea. From AGVs to AMRs Autonomous Mobile Robots are different from Automated Guided Vehicles. In many cases, the latter category of machines is already present in warehouses. AGVs, like AMRs, can be used to move goods. What an AGV does differently is that it follows a configured route for which it uses wiring, for example. This is the “guided” part of the machine. It allows the machine to follow only the configured route. If there are no obstacles, this obviously works fine. AMRs, however, are smarter than AGVs. These robots have a map of the warehouse in which they operate. When instructed to deliver goods at a certain point, they determine the best route for themselves. Obstacle do not cause the robot to come to a complete stop to wait for the obstacle to be moved. They navigate around a moving or stationary object to still get to the end point. If necessary, they may take an entire detour between other racks to do so. The AMR will use allowable zones and no-go zones, though, when properly set up in advance. Basically, this brings us to the fundamental difference between AGVs and AMR. Still, what is striking about the robots we see is how the employees in the Zebra warehouse handle the machines. They find it all pretty straightforward. When they want to use the AMR to move goods, they can easily give the instructions. Zebra Technologies will no doubt insist on using its own technology a lot and correctly in its own warehouse, but it does show that AMRs are robots that a large group of workers can handle. Making work more pleasant According to Marcel Kars, VP of Robotics Automation at Zebra Technologies, AMRs in a warehouse can ultimately provide many benefits. He cites an example that an employee in a less automated warehouse walks 15 kilometers a day, sometimes for much of the time with heavy items. That can be physically demanding, as well as taking up a lot of time. If you can automate much of that away with robots, Zebra Technologies sees a happier employee emerging. The employee can focus more on primary tasks. Or the higher-value tasks, as Zebra Technologies describes them. Think of repairing and replacing broken packaging and products. People are simply still needed for such tasks. Right now, as far as we can see, there are no fully covering robots for such high-value tasks. So what Zebra Technologies is trying to do with the acquired Fetch Robotics machines is take over work that robots can perform. According to Kars, that also removes some errors, as the robots perform repetitive work flawlessly. The theory is that workers are prone to errors in repetitive tasks. Eliminating those errors combined with saving time and allowing workers to perform more attractive tasks make the investment a no-brainer, in Kars’ view. Setting up the environment incrementally Kars points out that warehouses can feel free to roll out robots incrementally, getting a little more efficient each time. For example, they can start with a small robot with a roller conveyor for conveying tasks. Such a robot can be used for loading and unloading and help with rush orders. Ultimately, that can get companies excited and possibly encourage them to purchase other robots. For example, Zebra Technologies also has AMRs that can be used to move racks or very heavy pallets. The image below gives an idea of the different Fetch Robotics AMRs. The above robots show the diverse use cases of AMRs. According to Zebra Technologies, you’re really going to see more efficiency down the line by making them part of your existing investments in ‘intelligent automation’. This is where the company sees an advantage by pairing with the somewhat more traditional Zebra tools. For example, handheld scanners and tablets provide visibility of inventory in the warehouse to simplify management. Linking AMRs to that information, and linking the information from AMRs to traditional Zebra tools, can create some additional visibility and achieve automation. More efficient through AMRs It should be clear that AMRs aim to be a handy aid to the warehouse worker. With current market conditions like a labor shortage and faltering supply chain, that extra help is a good investment as far as Zebra Technologies is concerned. But even when such problems disappear, AMRs can provide a desired efficiency boost. Fearing that they will completely automate warehouse work is not necessary, because high-value tasks will still require people. It is a combination of people and technology that Zebra Technologies says the world is really looking to for added efficiency.

Ask HN: Is the industry saturated with data scientists already?	Ask HN: Is the industry saturated with data scientists already?	https://news.ycombinator.com	[]	The market is saturated with people who call themselves “data scientists” but are actually just reasonably skilled software engineers.	I'm still pretty early in my career, which I started as a software developer. I transitioned into a data scientist role about a year ago, then moved to the USA for a Master's degree in AI/DS. Here I'm seeing a trend of software developers being paid better than data scientists in general, and I was wondering if I've made a mistake transitioning away from software development. The number of opportunities also seem to be dwindling (or maybe I'm not looking well enough, please feel free to correct me). My question is this: Did all the talk of data science being the "sexiest" job cause the market to become saturated, or is it still a viable career path?	2022-12-22T00:00:00		https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34099847	[ { "date": "2022/12/22", "position": 8, "query": "machine learning job market" } ]
Data Science vs Computer Science \| Career Paths	Data Science vs Computer Science	https://csweb.rice.edu	[]	Within the rapidly-expanding tech spheres, two of the highest growth, in-demand career fields are computer science and data science.	Within the rapidly-expanding tech spheres, two of the highest growth, in-demand career fields are computer science and data science. Though the disciplines overlap, computer science and data science are unique in the types of people they attract and distinct career paths they offer. Which is Better: Computer Science or Data Science? So, which is better: data science or computer science, and which degree program should you pursue? At Rice University, we see a number of current and prospective students grappling with this question as they consider our Computer Science and Data Science undergraduate and graduate academic programs. With over 65+ years in Computer Science and a reputation for cutting-edge research in areas like AI and machine learning, we have a unique view into top employers' needs (both short-term and long-term), as well as how students' backgrounds and prerequisites, strengths and interests, and career/job placement vary across both paths. First, let's review the core differences, and then consider which path and outcome might be best for you. What is Computer Science? Computer science is the older of the two disciplines and is considered the backbone of data science. Computer science is the holistic study of all aspects of computers with an emphasis on software, offering a “generalist” approach to topics ranging from software systems and algorithms, to AI and machine learning, databases and cybersecurity. Computer scientists hold a broad range of positions, tapping into their vast expertise on all facets of interconnected, modern computer systems and computational thinking. What is Data Science? Data science has now emerged as its own discipline, although statisticians, computer scientists and electrical engineers have been focused on drawing inferences from and managing data for decades. According to Rice’s Computer Science Chair, Chris Jermaine, “what has fundamentally changed--and is the reason we developed the Master of Data Science program at Rice--is the ubiquity of data.” With the rise of the internet, the world’s largest public database, and the proliferation of sensors in everything from airplane engines to household light bulbs, immense streams of data are being produced. With the right skills, this “big data” can be harnessed to identify patterns in large datasets, train more accurate algorithms, build predictive models to improve almost every facet of business strategy and operations, and much more. Data Science vs Computer Science: Two Different Education Paths First, which better describes you, your interests or your career intentions? A: I'm more interested in developing complex software systems, products, tools, and platforms that people and businesses will use to improve security, safety, ease, affordability, effectiveness, overall quality of life, and more I'm more interested in developing complex software systems, products, tools, and platforms that people and businesses will use to improve security, safety, ease, affordability, effectiveness, overall quality of life, and more B: I'm more interested in providing answers to big, strategically-important questions asked by companies, government entities, medical providers, and non-profits, helping them achieve greater effectiveness through data and technology If you answered "A", you may be more drawn to computer science's emphasis on innovating, developing and implementing complex software systems, databases, products and services across a range of applications. For example, software engineers trained in computer science might design and build the "pipes" through which big data is transferred, so they must understand how complex systems facilitate the movement, use and storage of secure data. If you answered "B", Data Science's focus on the end-to-end management of data to provide better answers to complex questions and make data-driven predictions may be right for you. As we'll discuss later, Data Scientists are part-computer scientists, part-mathematicians, so working with advanced technology, programming languages and statistical modeling factors prominently into this profession. Computer science and data science both provide an opportunity to positively impact the world and make modern life easier. Simultaneously, both professions require close adherence to ethics concerns as society navigates complex issues like algorithmic bias, the explainability of AI, and an emerging workforce comprising both humans and machines. Next, we'll discuss the distinct prerequisites, skills and knowledge required to pursue computer science vs data science careers. The Computer Science Academic Path Computer science focuses on a broader scope of computing and digital innovation than data science. It's an excellent choice for Engineering, Math, Physics and other technical career changers. We even see strong candidates with humanities and social sciences backgrounds (for example, Economics, Linguistics, Psychology or English), as long as they already have serviceable programming skills and a strong motivation to succeed. Within industry, to be adequately prepared for common computer science career paths like software engineering or data engineering, prospective graduate students should look for computer science master's programs that offer a robust curriculum, with hands-on experiential learning in the following topics: Modern computer systems and complex software construction; Algorithmic models (basic and machine learning based); Core concepts that help you understand common syntax and code in multiple programming languages; Databases, cloud storage services, and big data; Deep understanding of cybersecurity motives, technologies, processes, and techniques This background will cultivate well-rounded technical experts with the computer science knowledge to drive continuous innovation across multiple industries. The Data Science Academic Path Data Scientists are part-statistician, part-computer scientist, part-mathematician, well-versed in all of these fields and how they apply to the study and practical application of big data. At Rice, we see many Computer Science majors who pursue Data Science master's degrees, but Statistics, Math, Economics, Sports and Analysis-related majors (for example, Public Policy analysis) are also common. Prospective data science graduate students need at least a basic understanding of data science programming languages like Python or R, and they'll further solidify these skills in a reputable data science master's program. To be adequately prepared for a data science and analytics career, prospective graduate students should look for data science master's programs that offer a robust curriculum, with hands-on experiential learning in the following topics: Machine learning, and how data can enable machines to engage in the same inductive learning process that humans do; Big data and the software tools and math models required to work with massive datasets; Statistical modeling and analysis for computing and data science; Programming languages for data science; and Data security, privacy and ethics At Rice, we saw an opportunity to offer specialization tracks in Machine Learning and Business Analytics, further reinforcing the practical application of Data Science concepts and skills across industries. Data Science vs CS: Similarities & Differences in Career Functions and Job Titles Within companies and organizations, computer science-trained software engineers, data engineers and data scientists frequently collaborate together, as well as with other cross-functional teams to drive value for their organizations. Though both computer scientists and data scientists work with advanced technologies, they apply them to accomplish different goals. The Computer Science Career Path: What Do Computer Scientists Do? Within companies, most professionals trained in computer science work in software engineering, data engineering, IT, cybersecurity or related careers. Most commonly, they ideate and define requirements, design software systems, oversee build by assigning coding work to programmers or developers, and engage in an iterative process of constantly testing, improving and evolving these systems. Within academia, computer and research scientists engage in cutting-edge research to expand the frontiers of computing. For example, areas include deep learning, computational biology and bioinformatics, robotics and AI, and more. With a breadth and depth of computer and software systems understanding, computer science-trained technical professionals' knowledge is highly transferable, opening up a range of diverse career paths across sectors. In a hot job market, before many students even graduate, master's students are often sought out by research & development (R&D) or innovation divisions at leading tech companies and corporate recruiters to work on projects ranging from autonomous vehicles and humanoid robots, to blockchain applications and machine learning algorithms to achieve new levels of personalization at scale. What are Common Computer Science Jobs? The most common jobs for professionals with computer science educational backgrounds are in software engineering and development, data engineering, IT, cybersecurity and technical product management. For those who earn their Master’s in computer science, common job titles include: (Senior) Software Engineer: Some software engineering positions may require an advanced degree due to the advanced tech required (Deep Learning, Robotics, Computer Vision, Image Processing and Algorithms, etc.). Some software engineering positions may require an advanced degree due to the advanced tech required (Deep Learning, Robotics, Computer Vision, Image Processing and Algorithms, etc.). (Senior) Technical Product Manager: Top companies like Google, Amazon, and Facebook often prefer an advanced degree in a technical field to enter into a complex, innovation-focused product management role. It can be very difficult for computer scientists even with a bachelor’s in CS to break into product management, so candidates should consider what will set them apart.

It can be very difficult for computer scientists even with a bachelor’s in CS to break into product management, so candidates should consider what will set them apart. (Senior) Principal Product Manager: Beyond breaking into product management, a master’s degree can help computer scientists enter senior leadership positions where they can drive innovation and work with a variety of business lines. Some senior-level positions may allow an advanced degree to substitute for a certain number of years of experience. Beyond breaking into product management, a master’s degree can help computer scientists enter senior leadership positions where they can drive innovation and work with a variety of business lines. Some senior-level positions may allow an advanced degree to substitute for a certain number of years of experience. Chief Technology Officer or Chief Information Officer: Experienced professionals who desire to become a CTO or CIO pursue a master’s in computer science to stay up-to-date on emerging technologies (e.g., Machine Learning/AI, Blockchain, Cloud Systems/Security) and broad, rapidly-evolving areas like Cybersecurity. The Data Science Career Path: What Do Data Scientists Do? Data scientists work with big data to identify actionable insights from massive datasets and make data-driven predictions. Their teams generally use the programs and software systems that computer scientists (or data engineers) create to collect, clean, structure, analyze and visualize big data. They may also program algorithms to query data for different purposes. Data scientists are responsible for partnering with business functions like strategy, product, marketing and operations, adding value by analyzing and interpreting a huge volume of collected data to hypothesize, test and make data-driven recommendations. They use their programming skills to create models that allow them to interpret and track changes in data. Once they model the data and draw inferences or conclusions, they’ll use Python libraries or other data visualization tools like Tableau to create visual representations of the data itself so it’s accessible and usable to the company at large. This can be done for almost any industry and business sector. No matter what field data scientists work in, they typically need the advanced knowledge and training that comes from earning a master’s or PhD degree in the field. What are Common Data Science Jobs? Data scientists usually fall into two camps – those who know math really well but don’t code efficiently, and those who are great coders but don’t have a solid foundation in statistics. I can speak to both sides, so I am right in the middle –exactly where I wanted to be. - David Sullivan, MCS Alumni, Data Scientist at New Knowledge. Read more about David’s data scientist career. Master’s in data science careers include: Senior Data Scientist: These professionals focus on capturing, cleaning, structuring, analyzing, and visualizing big data to inform a range of applications: business strategy, investments, streamlined applications, effective marketing, and more.

Machine Learning Engineer: Some Data Scientists may take on a more specialized role if they develop the skills required to drive adoption of a ML or AI solution end-to-end. An organization will often require a certification or master’s degree in a related field. Some Data Scientists may take on a more specialized role if they develop the skills required to drive adoption of a ML or AI solution end-to-end. An organization will often require a certification or master’s degree in a related field. Principal Data Scientist or Chief Data Officer: While a Ph.D. is often required, a master’s degree is sometimes acceptable pending the level of performance in other senior level data analyst/scientist roles. At this point of leadership in a company, a data scientist has to be tech-savvy and business-savvy. Principal Data Scientists are expected to understand business challenges, build strong internal and external relationships, and have the expertise and executive-level communication skills to help companies quantify organizational opportunities/trade-offs. Which Pays More: Data Science or Computer Science? While it depends on several factors including industry, company and geography, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Computer and Information Research Scientists (an occupation commonly associated with senior technical roles within software engineering and computer systems management) made an average of $131,490 in 2021 and grew at 21%. Data Scientists & Analysts, according to the BLS, made an average of $100,910 in 2021 but was a faster-growing occupation at 36% projected growth through 2031. In both occupations, more senior technical roles like Principal Data Scientist or Senior Software Systems Engineer typically prefer a master's or Ph.D. degree, although many entry- and mid-level roles accept bachelor's degrees or even bootcamp training. Pay also varies by company, with the MANAMANA companies commonly paying generously to attract the best technical talent. A Degree to Match Your Goals Some universities offer Data Science as an MCS specialization, whereas Rice University is proud to offer both a Master of Computer Science and a Master of Data Science. These distinct programs are designed to best prepare students for the roles they want, while ensuring they can effectively collaborate with different functions over the long-term. If you’re asking yourself, “should I pursue a master’s in computer science or data science?” the best thing you can do is consider where your interests lie. If you love ideating and developing innovative products and systems with your team, a master of computer science degree will align with those goals. However, if the thought of mining big data and identifying better answers to complex questions gives you a sense of fulfillment, pursuing a master of data science degree may be a better choice for you. Rice graduates have gone on to become Data Scientists, Senior Software Engineers and Technical Product Leads at top tech companies, including Google, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, JP Morgan Chase, and more.

AI in Virtual Reality	AI in Virtual Reality	https://digitalreality.ieee.org	[]	But in terms of application areas, adoption and usage patterns are quite different. ... Industries such as manufacturing are facing a rapidly aging workforce.	AI in Virtual Reality *This article was published in contribution to the new frontier of Intelligent Reality (IR). Click here to learn more about the 2022 IEEE 2nd International Conference on Intelligent Reality (ICIR). One thing that both artificial intelligence and virtual reality technology have in common is that they have been around for longer than people think. While early attempts look little like today’s solutions, both have existed in recognizable form for more than 70 years. AI technology, specifically software-based artificial intelligence, was first created in 1951 at the University of Manchester, in the UK. Two programs were created, one to play checkers and the other to play chess. If we broaden our definition of artificial intelligence, we find history is littered with examples of “automata”, mechanical figures that were capable of simple decision making. Some examples date back thousands of years. Similarly, virtual reality can be argued to be almost 200 years old, if not older. In 1838, Charles Wheatstone invented the stereoscopic viewer, which created the illusion of a 3D scene from pairs of photographs. In 1929, Edward Link built a flight simulator that was used to train pilots prior to World War II. In the 1950s, Morton Heilig developed the Sensorama, an arcade-style cabinet that immersed the viewer in a stereoscopic display with sound, fans to generate wind, and a vibrating chair to simulate motion. In 1965, Ivan Sutherland described the first modern virtual reality system, including the use of a computer to generate the imagery for the system. But, like Artificial Intelligence, if we broaden our definition, we can find examples throughout history that meet the basic criteria of virtual reality: to artificially create a sense of immersion. In the past decade, artificial intelligence, machine learning, virtual reality and augmented reality have all seen rapid development. Computer science breakthroughs like deep learning, and massive collections of training data have yielded impressive results. Outside the realm of AI technology and data science, breakthroughs in optics, display technology, microprocessors and algorithms have all played a role in creating ever-better virtual reality and augmented reality experiences. Consumers can interact with many different types of virtual environment, with or without a VR headset, from video games to virtual tours, to social and educational platforms. But is there a role for artificial intelligence to play in virtual reality? Do these technologies work well together? Common uses for AI in virtual reality today As digital transformation gains momentum, driving technology adoption around the globe, both virtual reality and augmented reality have a role to play. A good virtual reality experience will seamlessly integrate hardware (such as a VR headset), software, and an immersive user experience. The same applies to augmented reality too. Both types of immersive experience make use of artificial intelligence in multiple ways. But in terms of application areas, adoption and usage patterns are quite different. Virtual reality with a headset is more mature than headset-based augmented reality due to the broad availability of inexpensive hardware. However, mobile phone-based augmented reality is far more common than VR. Similarly, when discussing common uses for AI in virtual reality today, you can find some common threads and some areas of stark difference. To understand how artificial intelligence can evolve in partnership with an application area, it’s useful to look at examples outside the world of virtual reality first. One of the industries with the longest history of implementing practical artificial intelligence is the video game industry. In video games, AI algorithms were initially used to solve the age-old problem faced by almost all games: the need for an opponent. Simplistic expert systems gave way to more sophisticated artificial intelligence, but the goal was always to provide a player with believable and challenging opponents. But video games now use artificial intelligence in many different ways, such as world building, path finding, data mining and player experience modeling. One particularly interesting application is the use of AI, machine learning and deep learning for content generation. Early work focused on creating environmental elements, music and other components. More recent work has explored the creation and design of entire game levels. Clearly, there is considerable overlap between the games industry and virtual reality. As more video games become available in virtual reality, the tools and techniques used in mainstream games are increasingly being used in VR. Other examples of AI algorithms at work include Natural Language Processing (NLP). Multiple industries, including virtual shopping, are exploring the use of voice recognition in both virtual reality and augmented reality applications. This type of interaction is heavily reliant on artificial intelligence and machine learning. A broadly used example of artificial intelligence that can be found in both VR technology and AR technology is computer vision. Using artificial intelligence, one or more camera inputs can be used to provide motion tracking data. This allows the virtual reality or augmented reality experience to seamlessly blend with the user’s perspective. One emerging area of AI research is the creation of 3D scenes from single photographs. This technology is still in its infancy, but it could dramatically reduce the cost of creating an immersive experience. Another exciting area is the idea of augmented intelligence—using artificial intelligence to augment human intelligence and make humans more productive. When coupled with virtual reality, or augmented reality, augmented intelligence could deliver spectacular results. For example, imagine designing a product in VR with feedback from an AI that can access detailed knowledge of production methods and limitations. The product designer could avoid potential problems and create optimal designs far more efficiently. However, there are limitations on the use of AI in virtual reality and augmented reality. Any VR or AR headset has to make tradeoffs between power consumption, processing power, size, weight, heat and user comfort. AI often requires significant amounts of processing power, which in turn requires more electrical power, adding weight to the headset and generating more heat. Work is being done to develop more energy efficient chipsets for AI, as well as ways to implement AI on low power chipsets. But as new and more advanced applications of AI are constantly emerging, the need to balance power and functionality is likely to be an ongoing challenge for the foreseeable future. Enhancing virtual reality with AI There are many ways to enhance virtual reality with AI. One of the most obvious is using artificial intelligence and machine learning to create intelligent, interactive avatars. These are virtual assistants that can understand natural conversation and respond with detailed, and highly customized, assistance. Almost any type of VR experience requires some kind of introduction and user training. Instead of providing this outside of the VR application, why not provide VR training as a VR experience? This is precisely how many video games work. They don’t provide an instruction manual for the player, they throw them straight into an immersive experience and explain the game through actual gameplay. And of course, we don’t need to stop at training for a specific application, we can use the same tools and approach to provide almost any type of training. In VR applications, it is possible to personify training material as an interactive character. When coupled with AI applications, such as natural language processing, sentiment analysis, path finding and others, it’s easy to see how immersive technology could revolutionize training. Virtual Reality appears to have many useful applications, but training is arguably one of the most important. Training is a perennial problem in many industries. It is often slow, expensive and inefficient. Industries such as manufacturing are facing a rapidly aging workforce. As older workers retire, critical knowledge and experience is being lost. Thanks to Digital Transformation and automation, many menial jobs are disappearing. The new jobs being created increasingly require more advanced skills, which again means we need better training. It seems likely that a VR device, or an AR device, will be a key component of the future of work. Another technological component that will impact AI is 5G. 5G communication promises high bandwidth, low latency and massive connectivity. This enables new developments in edge and cloud computing that could reduce the data processing demands placed on VR and AR headsets, allowing them to become smaller, lighter and have longer battery life while simultaneously becoming more powerful. When connected to such resources, along with IoT sensors, the possibilities for an immersive, intelligent reality become almost limitless. Pros and cons of AI in virtual reality The benefits of using AI in virtual reality and extended reality are clear. They include better user interaction, better user experiences, the possibility to augment human intelligence and human senses, and the ability to drive down the cost of creating an immersive virtual world. Almost any type of VR simulation can be improved through the use of AI technology. Extended reality in all of its forms can create an immersive learning environment, but when coupled with AI, it can become truly compelling. A clear opportunity for AI and extended reality is training. VR training is one application that can help transition human resources to new job opportunities. The same is true of AR training, which has the added advantage of taking place in the real world. Imagine being able to pre-train for any job simply by opening a VR app, putting on a VR device and jumping in. Of course, AI is not without its challenges. This article previously discussed the problems of processing power and power consumption. But AI has other issues, some of them non-technical in nature. One of the biggest is bias. Any AI tool has the potential to show bias based on the big data sets used to train it. For example, speech recognition tends to work significantly better for some regional accents. There is a very strong correlation between the typical engineer working on speech recognition (male, English speaking, with an American, Indian or Chinese accent), and the accents that get the most accurate results. Accents that are outside of this group often perform poorly, making the user experience very frustrating for those users. It is important to carefully review any AI system for this type of unintentional exclusion or negative impact. Future developments of AI for virtual reality applications In recent years, the term “metaverse” has become increasingly popular. For many people, the metaverse is defined by sci-fi movies like “Ready, Player One”, where users can use immersive technology to enter an almost unlimited virtual world filled with new and novel experiences. Even with the latest VR technology, AR technology and immersive technology in general, we are still a long way from the metaverse being a reality. But it is also true that digital transformation is accelerating, AI applications are expanding, and immersive technology as a whole is developing rapidly. Companies from Google, to Meta (formerly known as Facebook), to Microsoft, Nvidia, countless startups and many others are all driving innovation in artificial intelligence, machine learning, augmented reality, mixed reality, virtual reality and related technologies. While we’ve come a long way since the early days of the VR headset and the simplest ai algorithm, there is still much work to be done. The future of immersive technology, artificial intelligence and intelligent reality looks bright indeed. 2022 IEEE 2nd International Conference on Intelligent Reality (ICIR) Want to learn more about Intelligent Reality?

How To Improve The Digital Employee Experience In Your Organization?	https://epiloguesystems.com	[]	Expansion of the IT workforce: Due to the overwhelmingly high frequency of helpdesk inquiries, IT teams have realized the need for better insight into the ...	As technology becomes increasingly ingrained in our day-to-day lives, it is also becoming increasingly important in the workplace. With so many digital tools and platforms at our disposal, it’s essential that we create a strong digital employee experience (DEX) to make sure employees are able to take advantage of these tools to do their best work. This post will explore the benefits of a good DEX, the challenges companies face when implementing one, and how to overcome these challenges. We’ll also share tips on creating an excellent DEX for your team. Let’s get started! What is a Digital Employee Experience? The term “Digital Employee Experience” (DEX) refers to the employee’s perceptions and feelings from their interactions with the IT-provided digital tools in their workplace. It depends on how well one’s device(s), applications, networks, and own knowledge of end users are functioning. Beyond IT, DEX is a notion that is fundamental to the present employee experience and is directly related to a company’s culture, employee engagement, human resources (HR), and capacity for innovation. Benefits Of Applying Digital Employee Experience In The Workplace Any company’s employees are its greatest asset. Suppose your workforce relies on digital technology to complete their task. In that case, it makes sense to ensure that your digital systems operate as efficiently as possible. It makes no sense to carry out tasks “the old-fashioned way” concerning numerous crucial procedures. The conventional approach can be tiresome, time-consuming, inefficient, and counterproductive. Effective technology can greatly simplify your life by streamlining many of your business’s most important operations. Excellent technology can enhance the worker’s productivity By improving the employee digital experience, your staff can finish many crucial tasks in minutes or even seconds. Because of this, they will have more time to invest in the kinds of jobs that will advance their business. However, the advantages of a positive digital employee experience go well beyond gains in productivity and efficiency. Excellent technology can enable workers to work how it best suits them. It can promote a healthy work-life balance and make it easier for staff members to get the necessary tools to maintain their well-being. An excellent digital employee experience will give you access to crucial facts, figures, and insights about employee welfare and absenteeism. You’ll be able to see scenarios this way. With it, you may stop minor difficulties from turning into major issues affecting your employees and your organization. => Related article: How To Create The Most Effective Work Instructions Challenges Of Building And Maintaining Digital Employee Experience It is far from simple to create a future-proof digital workspace with the best employee experience; it calls for much thought and preparation.

However, customers face new difficulties due to this quick transition to new technologies. The primary barrier to employee productivity is using new or unfamiliar technologies. Realization of business value. Gaining value from digital investments and conducting a thorough ROI analysis is now more important than ever due to the increasing economic instability. There is a definite demand for solutions that have a short-term business impact as firms work to increase their resilience. How To Improve The Digital Employee Experience In An Organization? Employees who expect enterprise IT teams to keep up with the quick pace of digital services and gadgets offered to consumers have historically been dissatisfied due to the ongoing evolution of the technology landscape. Meeting employee expectations and keeping up with innovation can seem like an impossible challenge. Still, with the proper tools and the appropriate strategy, it’s easier than it previously was. Step 1 – Planning: Prioritize your improvements Most monitoring systems overwhelm IT teams with telemetry data unrelated to employee experiences or business results. It is easier to prioritize problems by understanding how slow latency or poor device performance affects staff members and the enterprise’s bottom line. So, in Step 1, you set priorities for your digital employee experience and establish your improvement targets. This is accomplished by keeping an eye on end-user experiences in five key areas: devices, collaboration and productivity tools, mission-critical applications, and other applications. The end-user experience monitor should measure reaction time, latency, and availability within these domains in addition to more traditional metrics, such as CPU and memory consumption, storage performance, and active processes. By collecting and combining this data into a single experience score, you may better comprehend what employees go through daily. Step 2 – Implementing: Identify what to improve to achieve your goals The IT world is naturally complicated and constantly evolving. The experience of your employees may vary by different applications or IT aspects. For instance, issues with the digital experience can happen to the hosting environment, public clouds, Wi-Fi connections, or end devices. Effective analytics is necessary to decide which area has to be upgraded initially. This is about DOING: choosing your next action to reach the stated objectives. Identify what to improve to achieve your goals To identify the underlying causes of the performance gaps targeted in the PLAN step, companies can drill down into key apps, devices, collaboration tools, and productivity applications by setting improvement objectives with intelligently driven analytics. Launch a small-scale pilot program armed with this data. This strategy keeps everything on track and keeps IT workers, from becoming overburdened. Step 3 – Checking: Report improvements The third phase entails checking the outcomes and reporting them. With effective end-user experience monitoring technologies in place, the pilot program’s results can be swiftly verified. These results will support or refute the improvement plan’s validity. Report becomes easier than before The impact of the change implemented must be confirmed by contrasting the digital employee experience before and after the change was made, regardless of the pilot test improvement—whether it is increasing the resources available to a client device, updating an application, moving to virtual desktop infrastructure, or rolling out new devices. Digital employee experience management is a crucial stage in ongoing progress. The team goes back to step two (DO) and reevaluates its plan for reaching the goal stated in step one if the data shows that the improvement efforts were unsuccessful (PLAN). Step 4 – Acting: adjust performance for additional improvements When the results of the third step (CHECK) justify the complete implementation of the modifications, the team can ACT on the intended improvements. The modification is formally implemented across the company in this final stage, cascading the improvement to all users. Acting and Changing are needed for better performance Implementing this intended enhancement is only the end of one cycle. Return to the PLAN phase after standardizing the anticipated improvements and monitor the new normal for other areas of improvement. This journey is focused on constant progress in an era where IT consumerization is continuously changing expectations. Modifying the standard for regular digital interactions allows your staff to constantly adapt and provide market-leading support and competitive user experiences. To Conclude, Employee experience is a hot topic in today’s business world. Companies realize that they need to provide an excellent digital employee experience if they want to keep their employees. Benefits of a good employee experience include higher productivity and engagement and reduced staff turnover rates. However, providing a great digital employee experience can take time and effort for companies. Several ways to improve the employee experience include using the latest technologies and creating a culture of innovation. By following these tips, you can create a work environment where your employees feel appreciated and engaged, leading to better business outcomes for your company.	2022-12-15T00:00:00	2022/12/15	https://epiloguesystems.com/blog/how-to-improve-the-digital-employee-experience-in-your-organization/	[ { "date": "2022/12/22", "position": 95, "query": "workplace AI adoption" } ]

Is Worldcoin a Crypto-currency for the Masses or Your Digital ID?	https://spectrum.ieee.org	[ "Edd Gent" ]	... artificial intelligence systems. The founders envisaged Worldcoin as a global distribution network for universal basic income. To ensure even distribution ...	In a college classroom in the Indian city of Bangalore last August, Moiz Ahmed held up a volleyball-size chrome globe with a glass-covered opening at its center. Ahmed explained to the students that if they had their irises scanned with the device, known as the Orb, they would be rewarded with 25 Worldcoins, a soon-to-be released cryptocurrency. The scan, he said, was to make sure they hadn’t signed up before. That’s because Worldcoin, the company behind the project, wants to create the most widely and evenly distributed cryptocurrency ever by giving every person on the planet the same small allocation of coins. Some listeners were enthusiastic, considering the meteoric rise in value that cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin since they launched. “I found it to be a very unique opportunity,” said Diksha Rustagi. “You can probably earn a lot from Worldcoin in the future.” Others were more cautious, including a woman who goes by Chaitra R, who hung at the back of the classroom as her fellow students signed up. “I have a lot of doubts,” she said. “We would like to know how it’s going to help us.” This article is part of our special reportTop Tech 2023. Those doubts may be warranted. The 5-minute pitch from Ahmed, a contractor hired to recruit users, focused on Worldcoin’s potential as a digital currency, but the project’s goals have morphed considerably since its inception. Over the past year, the company has developed a system for third parties to leverage its massive registry of “unique humans” for a host of identity-focused applications. Worldcoin CEO Alex Blania says the company’s technology could solve one of the Web’s thorniest problems—how to prevent fake identities from distorting online activity, without compromising people’s privacy. Potential applications include tackling fake profiles on social media, distributing a global universal basic income (UBI), and empowering new forms of digital democracy. Worldcoin But Worldcoin’s biometric-centered approach is facing considerable pushback. The nature of its technology and the lack of clarity about how it will be used are fueling concerns around privacy, security, and transparency. Questions are also being raised over whether Worldcoin’s products can live up to its ambitious goals. So far, Worldcoin has signed up more than 700,000 users in some 25 countries, including Chile, France, and Kenya. In 2023 it plans to fully launch the project and hopes to scale up its user base rapidly. Many people will be watching the company during this make-or-break year to see how these events will unfold. Will Worldcoin succeed in reimagining digital identity, or will it collapse, like so many buzzy cryptocurrencies that have come before? Where the Worldcoin idea came from In early 2020, Blania started working with Worldcoin cofounders Sam Altman, former president of the legendary Silicon Valley incubator Y Combinator, and Max Novendstern, who previously worked at the financial-technology company Wave. The question driving them was a simple one, Blania says. What would happen if they gave every person on the planet an equal share of a new cryptocurrency? Their thesis was that the network effects would make the coin far more useful than previous cryptocurrencies—the more people who hold it, the easier it would be to send and receive payments with it. It could also boost financial inclusion for millions around the world without access to traditional banking, says Blania. And, if the coins increase in value (as have other cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum), that trend could help redistribute global wealth. Most ambitiously, the founders envisaged Worldcoin as a global distribution network for UBI—a radical approach to social welfare in which every citizen receives regular cash payments to cover their basic needs. The idea has become popular in Silicon Valley as an antidote to the job-destroying effects of automation, and it has been tried out in locations including California, Finland, and Kenya. When the Worldcoin project was unveiled in October 2021, Altman told Wired that the coin could one day be used to fairly distribute the enormous profits generated by advanced artificial intelligence systems. The founders envisaged Worldcoin as a global distribution network for universal basic income. To ensure even distribution of coins, Worldcoin needed a sign-up process that guaranteed that each person could register only once. Blania says the team didn’t want to tie the cryptocurrency to government IDs due to privacy risks, and they eventually decided that only biometric iris scans could scale into the billions. Given the sensitivity of biometric data, the team knew that privacy protections had to be paramount. Their solution is a protocol based on Proof-of-Personhood (PoP)—a complex combination of custom hardware, machine learning, cryptography, and blockchain technology that Blania says can assign everyone a unique digital identity with complete anonymity. The Orb is central to this approach. Behind its gleaming surface is a custom optical system that captures high-definition iris scans. To sign up for Worldcoin, enrollees download the company’s app onto their smartphones, where it creates a pair of linked cryptographic keys: a shareable public key and a private key that remains hidden on the user’s device. The public key is used to generate a QR code that the Orb reads before scanning users’ irises. The company says it has invested considerable effort into making Orbs resistant to spoofing sign-ups with modified or fake irises. The scan is then converted into a string of numbers known as a hash via a one-way function, which makes it nearly impossible to re-create the image even if the hash is compromised. The Orb sends the iris hash and a hash of the user’s public key to Worldcoin’s servers in a signed message. The system checks the iris hash against a database to see if the person has signed up before, and if not, it’s added to the list. The public-key hash is added to a registry on the company’s blockchain. The process for claiming the user’s free Worldcoins relies on a cryptographic technique known as a zero-knowledge proof (ZKP), which lets a user prove knowledge of a secret without revealing it. The app’s wallet uses an open-source protocol to generate a ZKP showing that the holder’s private key is linked to a public-key hash on the blockchain, without revealing which one. That way, Worldcoin won’t know which public key is associated with which wallet address. Once this linkage is verified by the company’s servers, the tokens are sent to the wallet. The ZKP also includes a string of numbers unique to each user called a nullifier, which shows if they’ve tried to claim their coins before without revealing their identity. Worldcoin’s Web3 applications It didn’t take long for Worldcoin to realize that its identity system could have broader applications. According to Blania, the first to spot the potential was Chris Dixon, a partner at the venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, which led the first investment round in Worldcoin. Blania says that about seven months after the team started work on the project, he told them, “This is super interesting tech, but I think you don’t understand what a big deal it actually is.” On today’s Internet, most activities flow through centralized platforms like Amazon, Facebook, and PayPal. Blockchain technology could theory remove these middlemen, instead using a decentralized networks of volunteers to regulate such functions as online payments, social media, ride-sharing platforms, and many other types of services—a vision for the future of the Internet dubbed Web3. Worldcoin’s biggest challenge may not be the functionality of its technology, but questions of trust. But decentralization also enables new kinds of manipulation, including sybil attacks, named after the 1973 book Sybil, about a woman with multiple personalities. The anonymity of the Internet means it’s easy to create multiple identities that let attackers gain disproportionate influence over decentralized networks. That’s why cryptocurrencies today require members to carry out complex mathematical puzzles or stake large chunks of their money if they want to contribute to core activities like verifying transactions. But that means control of these networks often boils down to how many high-powered computer chips you can afford or how much crypto you hold. Worldcoin will manage two different processes: signing up users and letting them claim the promised amount of the cryptocurrency as a reward for signing up. Signing up involves scanning users’ irises and keeping records that connect those scans with their digital wallets. Claiming a reward requires verification that the user has indeed signed up, which can be done in a way that doesn’t reveal any information about the user other than that they are signed up. Worldcoin A method to ensure that every member of a network has just one identity could solve the sybil problem in a much more equitable way. And a unique digital ID could have applications beyond Web3, says Tiago Sada, head of product at Worldcoin, such as preventing bot armies on social media, replacing credit-card or government-ID verification to access online services, or even facilitating democratic governance over the Web. Toward the end of last year, Sada says, Worldcoin started work on a new product called World ID—a software-development kit that lets third parties accept ZKPs of “unique humanness” from Worldcoin users. “A widely adopted PoP changes the nature of the Internet completely,” says Sada. “Once you have sybil resistance, this idea of a unique person [on a blockchain], then it just gives you an order of magnitude more things you can do.” Worldcoin’s pivot to World ID Despite the startup’s growing focus on World ID, Blania insists its ambitions for the Worldcoin cryptocurrency haven’t diminished. “There is no token that has more than 100 million users,” he says. Worldcoin could have billions. “And really no one knows what the explosion of innovation will be if that actually happens.” But the coin has yet to be released—those who sign up get an IOU, not actual cryptocurrency—and the company has released few details on how it will work. “They haven’t shared anything regarding what their currency model or their economic model is going to be,” says Anna Stone, who leads commercial strategy for a nonprofit called Good Dollar. “It’s just not yet clear how individual users will benefit.” Good Dollar distributes small amounts of its own cryptocurrency to anyone who signs up, as a form of UBI. Stone says the project has focused on creating a sustainable stream of UBI for claimants, while Worldcoin seems to be committing far more resources to developing its PoP protocol than the currency itself. “Offering people free crypto is a powerful lead-generation tactic,” she says. “But getting people into your system and getting people using your currency as a currency are two quite different challenges.” “It’s really hard to revoke and reissue your iris.” – Jon Callas Leading UBI proponent Karl Widerquist, a professor of philosophy at Georgetown University–Qatar, says he’s skeptical of the potential of cryptocurrencies for boosting financial inclusion or enabling UBI. He says their inherently volatile prices make them unsuitable as currency. But Worldcoin’s one-time distribution seems even less likely to succeed, he says, because most people around the world are so poor that they spend everything they have right away. “The majority of people in the world are going to have none of this currency very quickly.” The company’s vision for Worldcoin has also shifted as the importance of World ID has grown. While the company can’t dictate what the token will be used for, Sven Seuken, Worldcoin’s head of economics, says it is now positioning the coin as a governance token that gives users a stake in a blockchain-based type of entity called a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). The company has ambitions to slowly transfer governance of its protocol to a DAO that’s controlled by users, with voting rights linked to their Worldcoin holdings. Tokens would act less as a payment method and more like shares in a company that manages the World ID platform. This pivot wasn’t reflected in the pitch at the college in Bangalore, where enrollees were sold on the potential of a fast, cheap way to transfer money around the world. Seuken admits the company needs to update its public communications around the benefits of signing up, but he says explaining World ID’s value at this stage of adoption is challenging. “Convincing users initially to sign up by pitching World ID, this would be a really hard sell,” he says. The risks of Worldcoin’s biometric data Informed consent is important, though, says Jon Callas, director of public-interest technology at the Electronic Frontier Foundation. It’s problematic, he says, if users don’t realize they’re signing up for a global identity system, especially one that involves biometrics, which are a uniquely sensitive form of authentication. “It’s really hard to revoke and reissue your iris,” says Callas. While ZKPs provide strong mathematical guarantees of privacy, implementation mistakes can leave gaps that attackers can exploit, says Martin Albrecht, a professor of information security at Royal Holloway, University of London. In 2020, researchers bypassed ZKPs that had been used to anonymize transactions in the privacy-focused cryptocurrency Zcash by exploiting their knowledge that the time taken to generate a proof correlated to the content of transaction data (specifically, the transaction amount). Worldcoin’s head of blockchain, Remco Bloemen, says that even if the company’s ZKPs were cracked, there wouldn’t be a leak of biometric information, as the ZPKs aren’t connected to users’ iris hashes and are based only on their private keys. But Albrecht says revealing a user’s private key is still a significant problem as it would let you impersonate them. “Once you know someone’s private key, it’s game over,” he says. Glen Weyl, an economist at Microsoft Research, says that worries about Worldcoin’s threats to privacy are overblown, given that the biometrics aren’t linked to anything. But Worldcoin’s stringent privacy protections have introduced a critical weakness, he adds. Because biometric authentication is a one-time process, there is no ongoing link between users and their World IDs. “You’ve just found a way to generate a key, and that key can be sold or disposed of in any way people want,” he says. “They have no framework, in any sense, for making sure these wallets are tied to the people who received them, other than their trust relationship with the people that they’ve hired to do the recruiting.” A young woman has her irises scanned at a sign-up event in Bangalore, India. It’s no accident that the scanning device, called the Orb, resembles a giant eyeball. Edd Gent Without an ongoing link between World ID and the underlying biometrics, it’s impossible to audit the registry of users, says Santiago Siri, board member of a competing digital identity system called Proof of Humanity (PoH). That’s why PoH has built its registry of unique humans by getting people to upload videos of themselves that others can challenge if the videos seem fake. Siri concedes that the approach is hard to scale and has significant privacy challenges, but he says the ability to audit a system is critical for its trustworthiness. “How can I verify that of those 750,000 [Worldcoin] identities, 700,000 are not fake, or controlled by Andreessen Horowitz?” he says. “No one will be able to verify that, not even the Worldcoin people.” It’s also questionable how useful the concept of “unique humanness” really is outside of niche cryptocentric applications, says Kaliya Young, an identity researcher and activist. Identity plays a broader role in everyday life, she says: “I care what your university degrees are, where you were born, how much money you make, all sorts of attributes that PoP doesn’t solve for.” Worldcoin’s biggest challenge may not be the functionality of its technology but questions of trust. The central goal of blockchains is to avoid relying on centralized authorities, but by using complex, custom hardware to recruit users, the company is setting itself up as a powerful arbiter of digital identity. “Worldcoin posits that everyone in the world should have their eyeball scanned by them and they should be the decider of who’s a unique human,” says Young. “Please explain to me how that’s not ultracentralized.” What’s more, Microsoft’s Weyl says, the company’s reliance on the “creepy all-seeing eye” of the Orb may create problematic associations. According to Weyl, projects like Worldcoin may give people “a sense of a dystopian future” rather than one that is “hopeful and inclusive.” In the end, the success of Worldcoin’s ambitious 2023 goals may boil down to a question of narrative. The company is peddling a message of financial inclusion and wealth distribution while critics raise concerns around privacy and transparency. It remains to be seen whether the world will truly buy into Worldcoin.

Envisioning the Future of Work in Angola (PART 1)	Envisioning the Future of Work in Angola (PART 1)	https://www.undp.org	[]	Jobs offering security and basic working conditions are concentrated on few ... income. Current “job” opportunities, unfortunately, do not offer social ...	Accelerator Lab Angola The year is 2030. and about 375 million young people make up Africa´s labour force, contributing to the continent’s long withstanding title: youngest and fastest growing continent in the world. Can you imagine what type of work these young people would be doing? (Don´t answer now… let’s just park that question for a second. We will come back to it.) Although the numbers above sound humongous, current predictions point out to that. A growing and fast population in Africa is taken as one the external factors to disrupt employment in the continent in the years to come. While we were starting our research journey into Future of Work (FOW) in Angola, we were invited to tap into its definition, how is it described in other countries outside the African continent, and what are the global trends that are shaping it. When you hear ‘future of work’, you probably will think about technology, people working from home and office spaces becoming irrelevant, digital services managed by people sitting at home in their pijamas, the 4th industrial revolution, people losing jobs and other types of jobs being created. You might think about artificial intelligence being the new thing and a robot taking your fever at the hospital and feeding you your daily medicine. Technological innovation is certainly something to watch out and be prepared for, and the African Continent should be looking out for it, however, we should start discussing what does the FOW mean to our own context. We want to be prepared not to lose the train and get hit by a big wave of ‘unknown’ coming from other continents that would swipe our economies and labour markets because we were not ready for it, but we also want to make sure that we are building on what is relevant to our own reality. FOW should mean first and foremost what we want to make of it. Let’s think about it more from an aspirational perspective and less from an analytical look at global trends or as a reaction to that big unknow wave that is coming for us. If we look at it in these terms, we can put one foot in front of the other, start acting systemically on multiple fronts and gradually build a new reality for what work will mean for Angola in the future. “Ok, but going back to your question in the beginning…” Remember our first initial question? Can you imagine what type of work these young people would be doing? Well, if you thought about informality, you are probably right. It is the most common type of work in many African countries, having women and children as one of the groups greatly exposed to inadequate conditions of work. This is the picture as most developing countries face the problem of precarious employment and under-employment. Jobs offering security and basic working conditions are concentrated on few sectors, leaving most of the population that is mainly employed by the informal sector exposed to work without social protection. So as much as we can discuss the future, we will need to start planning now to shift the picture. “If one is not happy with the work conditions, they can quit. Right?” In developing countries, people do not have the choice of not working. As unemployment remains an issue, it´s possible to see someone being exposed and forced to take part on precarious activities as they struggle to find decent labour and on the other side, we have those taking part in self-employment but still with extremely low income. Current “job” opportunities, unfortunately, do not offer social protection to employees, leaving them to retire without income and other benefits. Decent work, as defined by the International Labour Organization (ILO), “productive work for women and men in conditions of freedom, equity, security and human dignity” is urgently needed. COVID 19 has also drastically impacted most development achieved in the past decades. In countries like Angola, that already had an economic crisis, experienced another great hit increasing unemployment rates. “Angola Workforce Snapshot: let’s talk numbers…”	2022-12-22T00:00:00		https://www.undp.org/pt/angola/blog/envisioning-future-work-angola-part-1-0	[ { "date": "2022/12/22", "position": 79, "query": "universal basic income AI" } ]
Romania's economic growth and tech challenges	Bridging the gap: Transversal technologies to boost Romania’s resilience	https://www.mckinsey.com	[ "Bogdan Dimitriu", "Alexandru Filip", "Jurica Novak", "Ovidiu Tisler", "Magnus Tyreman" ]	Not least, a disruption in oil and gas supplies from Russia threatens Romania's economy. ... The country has given rise to leading innovators in AI, such as DRUID ...	A competitiveness crisis between Europe and other major regions has been quietly unfolding for two decades, centered on a corporate and technology gap. Unless tackled, this divide threatens to handicap Europe across many dimensions, including growth, inclusion, sustainability, and strategic autonomy. The stakes are high: Europe could miss out on a potential corporate value add of €2 trillion to €4 trillion a year by 2040. To put this into perspective, this is six times the amount that Europe needs to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. About the authors This article is a collaborative effort by Bogdan Dimitriu, Alexandru Filip, Jurica Novak, Ovidiu Tisler, and Magnus Tyreman. The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has only exacerbated this strain, highlighting the need for economies to be resilient. Romania, a relatively recent EU member, shares many of the broader region’s technology problems, lagging behind on many indicators of business success. Sharing a border with Ukraine, Romania has also been particularly affected by the Russian invasion. While the country mounted a swift response to the Ukrainian refugee crisis, the conflict has brought to light strategic lacks in Romania’s food security, energy, and defense systems. Not least, a disruption in oil and gas supplies from Russia threatens Romania’s economy. Addressing the immediate challenges is the number one priority for Romania. However, in order for the country’s economy to build long-term resilience and weather future disruptions, it needs to catch up on ten key transversal technologies. Romania’s future growth and competitiveness across all sectors is at stake here—failure to deliver could jeopardize the country’s efforts to improve the lives of its citizens, who still experience low levels of inclusion and well-being relative to the EU average. Long-held beliefs and trade-offs may need to be reevaluated if Romanian companies are to keep abreast of other regions that are competing effectively in a world of technology disruption. An integrated package of initiatives could create an environment that enables this—and will require leaders to show the same resolve and collaboration that they displayed in their response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine. Some initiatives may need to happen on an EU level, which Romania could support, while others could readily be implemented on a national, bilateral, or multilateral level. Sustainability, inclusion, and growth: Where does Romania stand? Improving the lives of Romanians over the long haul requires sustainability, inclusion, and growth: three factors that reinforce and impact one another. High growth runs the risk of undermining efforts to improve sustainability. However, growth strengthens confidence and creates a healthy investment climate for sustainability-related innovation, generating the new income streams needed to pay for the energy transition. Lagging growth could also undermine inclusion by limiting the pool of funds available to spend on social programs. In these respects, how does Romania measure up against its European peers? Identifying Romania’s relative strengths and weaknesses in sustainability, inclusion, and well-being, and growth and prosperity, could help the country to prioritize its actions, and identify where the application of transversal technology would be most effective (Exhibit 1). In our analysis, we assessed the 38 OECD countries on key metrics across sustainability, inclusion, and well-being, and growth and prosperity and ordered them in deciles. Subsequently, we placed Romania in one of the deciles based on its performance across the same metrics (decile 1 being the best score, and decile 10 being the worst). Sustainability Romania’s record on sustainability is good: emissions per capita are low, below those of both its Central European (CE) peers and the five top-performing EU economies. Its fossil-fuel consumption is also lower than that of other CE countries, on par with the EU-30 average, and Romania has also pledged to phase out coal by 2032 and reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Meeting the ambitious commitments will require a concrete plan, which has yet to be published. Although Romania’s sustainability picture is relatively healthy, this has not necessarily translated into more satisfying or financially abundant lives for its citizens. Indeed, Romania’s strong sustainability could reflect a more sluggish economic output than its EU peers. Inclusion and well-being Romania lags behind its CE peers, particularly when it comes to income equality, with a relatively high Gini index of around 34 percent in 2020 (compared with around 27 and 28 percent for Poland and Hungary, respectively), indicating high income inequality. In fact, Romania’s rate of low-income workers is the highest in the European Union, with one in three Romanians at risk of falling into poverty. As a region, Europe has the highest life expectancy at birth in the world: the EU-30 average is 80.4 years. However, Romania performs relatively poorly, with an average life expectancy of 74.2 years. When it comes to social mobility, which is computed by combining measures for health, education, technology, work, resilience, and quality of institutions, Romania had an index score of 63.1 in 2020—among the bottom five European countries (Denmark scored the highest, with 85.2) although still higher than most developing countries. Although Romania has a national plan to improve social inclusion and reduce poverty, some key actions have been delayed, such as boosting employment, reducing the early school dropout rate, and improving national health programs. Growth and prosperity Along with the five top-performing EU-30 countries, Romania’s per capita GDP has shown strong growth over the past two decades: at 6.7 percent in 2021, it was notably better than that of Europe overall or of the United States, and slightly ahead of its CE peers. Along with other CE countries that are part of the European Union, Romania has benefited from participating in the single market, with European direct investment and labor mobility contributing to rapid growth. Romania has been an EU member for 15 years, and Europe is the country’s greatest investor and main strategic partner, contributing to 89.5 percent of Romania’s total foreign direct-investment stocks. Although data on Romania are limited, looking at CE peers, we see a large gap between company profits in this region and in the rest of Europe and the United States Between 2014 and 2019, large CE companies were 51 percent (eight percentage points) less profitable by ROIC than those in the United States, even as growth was 6 percent greater, potentially symptomatic of their home-economies’ lag in sustainability, inclusion and well-being, and growth and prosperity (Exhibit 2). Ten transversal technologies—must-haves for Romania In each of these vital areas—sustainability, inclusion, and growth—adoption of transversal technologies could aid Romania to close its corporate and technology gap, while enhancing Europe’s competitiveness. Several of these key technologies, such as applied AI, have greater transversal capabilities than others and could impact all sectors in some way (Exhibit 3). Romania’s technological position is mixed, with some positive developments in production and adoption. However, when compared with the top five performers in the EU, Romania lags behind in innovation, mainly due to a lack of capital for basic research (Exhibit 4). To assess Romania’s position for each transversal technology, we compared its performance to that of the top five EU-27 and UK performers—the Romanian score is expressed as a fraction of the average of their score. Next-level process automation: Process automation can help companies turbocharge their operations by improving process efficiency and enhancing functionality. From collaborative robots in industry to virtual clinical trials in healthcare and military robots in defense, this technology can be widely applied across sectors. Compared with the average for EU counterparts, Romania is ahead on innovation but lags behind on adoption of next-level process automation. Process automation is a key focal technology for Romanian innovation, with companies such as UiPath leading the way in robotic process automation globally. Yet, with low adoption, Romania could be missing out on the benefits that process automation can bring. Future of connectivity: Technologies such as smart cities in industry, remote monitoring in healthcare, and smart branches in business services could be the future of connectivity. These technologies bring humans and technology closer, immersing users in an augmented reality with widespread applications to boost efficiency and productivity. Although Romania’s innovation and production of these technologies is low compared with that of the EU-30’s top five performers, its adoption is high. Telehealth, for instance, saw a boost in adoption, due to COVID-19 restrictions in Romania prompting remote consulting. Both health practitioners and patients in Romania have relayed their willingness to use telehealth technology, which, coupled with high-speed internet, could be key to its successful adoption. Distributed infrastructure: Distributed infrastructure is the umbrella term for object-oriented and other information technologies used by software architects, including edge and cloud computing. These make use of remote servers hosted on the internet (instead of local servers) to manage, store, and process data, and have broad applicability across sectors. However, Romania is trailing significantly here, relative to the EU-30’s top five economies, and ever more so on a global scale. The share of companies that used cloud computing services in Romania in 2021 was 14 percent, compared with 27 percent for CE countries and 41 percent for the European Union. Next-generation computing: Next-generation computing (also called high-performance computing) uses technology based on quantum phenomena to process data. This allows for more complex calculations that improve productivity, with a range of uses across sectors, such as aerospace and defense, and energy and utilities. Romania is behind on innovation relative to the EU-30’s top five countries and lacks next-generation computing technology adoption and production. As this lack of production and adoption is widespread across the European Union, Romania and other EU countries could be missing out on lucrative opportunities. The global next-generation computing market is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 19.4 percent from 2021 to 2030, to reach approximately $782 billion by 2030. Applied AI: As technology continues to transform the world, AI can have applications beyond customer-facing functions. Used across myriad sectors, including in smart power plants, autonomous vehicles, and precision agriculture, applied AI is showing signs of advancement in Romania, where innovation is poised to catch up with production and adoption. Romania’s level of innovation is relatively embryonic compared with the top five EU-30 performers. While it has been the second-largest publisher of AI research in the region over the past two decades—after Poland—its actual spending on investments lags behind that of EU counterparts. Romania is ahead in terms of production and adoption, with more than 50 start-ups in the field of agritech alone. Future of programming: The future of programming is expected to trend toward a no-code or low-code development environment with increasingly automated processes, such as Software 2.0. This could boost the efficiency and speed of programming development across sectors, with the most focus in the automation, machine learning, and AI industries. Romania is making headway here, with a solid performance in innovation and production, but a softer showing in technology take-up. The country has given rise to leading innovators in AI, such as DRUID AI—an end-to-end platform for AI-driven conversational business applications. Trust architecture: Trust architecture involves a set of cybersecurity paradigms that focuses on protecting resources (such as assets, workflows, services, network accounts, etcetera). Trust principles can be used to plan industrial and enterprise infrastructure and workflows, with a broad range of applications from cybersecurity in defense to smart sourcing in consumer and retail. Romania shows signs of promise here, with strong production and adoption. The country performs relatively well against the EU-30’s top five performers, with homegrown company Bitdefender consistently ranking among top global cybersecurity players. Romania has also given rise to novel security solutions, such as TypingDNA, which assigns a biometric “fingerprint” to a person’s typing style for reinforced security. Bio revolution: Advances in biological science, coupled with the development of computing, automation, and AI, are supporting fresh innovation. This bio revolution could significantly impact economies and lives, from health, agriculture, and consumer goods to energy and materials. The biotech industry is nascent in Romania, with some innovation but very little production or adoption relative to the EU-30’s top five countries. Romanian innovation players are slowly emerging, such as Rayscape, whose software solution uses a recognition algorithm to help radiologists detect lung nodules, and .lumen, a research start-up that aims to empower the blind. Next-generation materials: Next-generation materials with novel properties can increase functionality and reduce costs throughout manufacturing, with potential for major energy, carbon, and economic benefits. However, breakthroughs in materials science and engineering are needed to enable these new capabilities. In Romania, demand for these materials exists, but innovation and output are lacking—creating an opportunity to kick-start the sector. The 50 largest manufacturers of construction materials in Romania saw a cumulative turnover of about €2.35 billion and a net profit of approximately €365 million in 2020. Future of cleantech: Cleantech can contribute to a cleaner, more sustainable world. The use of sensors, gateways, embedded radios, and cellular routers can optimize process efficiencies by removing the need for natural resources and manual monitoring. Renewable-energy systems and sustainable products and services are some examples of cleantech, with a wide range of industrial uses. Innovation and production have not kept pace with adoption. Romania has few cleantech patents compared with its CE peers: for example, from 2012 to 2021, Romania produced only five patents in environmental technologies, compared with 86 from Poland. Romanian automotive company Dacia started producing its own electric vehicle—the Dacia Spring—joining in on the global trend of electrification. The time to act is now: Ramping up Romanian technological capabilities and competitiveness Romania, like most of Europe, is being outperformed by non-European competitors in industrial-scale technology adoption. The country’s lack of scale in transversal technologies jeopardizes its position in nearly all sectors, including current strongholds such as trade, manufacturing, transportation, construction, and IT and communications. Despite these challenges, Romania has substantial strengths, including a booming digital economy and a strong automotive sector, bountiful natural resources, a growing renewable sector, agricultural potential, and EU membership. Addressing Romania’s key challenges As the sources of competition—and growth—shift toward disruptive innovation and intangibles, scale, speed and established technology ecosystems are increasingly vital to level the playing field. In this context, Romania shares the four mutually reinforcing challenges of the broader EU: market fragmentation and lack of economic scale; less-developed risk-capital and scale-up funding; a complex and slow regulatory environment; and smaller and less-established technology ecosystems and firms (Exhibit 5). To rebound faster from the current crisis, Romania requires more competitive markets and stronger human capital than its EU peers. Competition is key to unlocking opportunities and creating jobs, yet a lack of quality education in some of Romania’s regions hinders the country’s productive potential and broadens the inequality gap. There are numerous actions Romania could take—alone, bilaterally, or multilaterally—to scale up technologies, become more agile, and level the playing field. Scale and scale-up funding Decision makers in Europe and Romania are aware of the need to close the technology gap and as such have implemented initiatives to enable corporates to build scale in key technology areas. Romania could consider the following initiatives to increase and pool its resources and support cross-border scale-up and consolidation: Consider opening more funds for risk capital. The capital raised by Romanian start-ups more than tripled last year, from approximately €30 million in 2020 to €116 million in 2021. Romania could reduce its restrictions and capital requirements to enable asset managers and pension funds to invest more in alternative asset classes such as venture capital and private equity. Going one step further, it could build pension institutions that operate at the scale and sophistication of global leaders. Yet unlocking this finance hinges on the creation of an ecosystem of angel investors, as well as an innovative policy for venture capital funds. On top of this, co-investment schemes and tax incentives could be applied in the latter phase to support early-phase companies. Potentially establish joint public procurement and public investment in R&D with other EU members. Europe pools only 0.2 percent of its total public procurement at the European level, compared with 45 percent at the federal level in the United States. Moving to joint procurement in innovation-related areas, from defense to healthcare to education technology, would allow for larger bets and more regional focus, and would build an environment for scaling up leading Romanian firms. For example, countries pooled their orders for medical supplies during the COVID-19 pandemic, which was supported by legal frameworks. Romanian leaders could also consider increasing compensation schemes for regions that are lagging behind. Stimulate investment in technology by potentially supporting rising companies. In addition to the existing tax breaks at home, the Romanian government could support Romanian companies’ expansion abroad through several measures, such as by providing legislative and logistical support or low-interest financing programs for access to other markets (as demonstrated by Poland and the Netherlands). Romanian state initiatives, such as the support scheme, could further help Romania increase subsidies for the renewables sector. Stimulate early demand for new technologies with the government potentially acting as an early adopter. Collaboration between the private and government sectors could be key to unlocking opportunities and supporting economic recovery. An example is the IT sector: although Romania has established a telecommunications infrastructure that offers fast and affordable network access, its digital public services are underdeveloped. The pandemic prompted authorities to introduce new technologies and encourage their use, but public services’ digital availability and quality are below those of private ones. Improve the talent pool Romania could consider several initiatives in order to enrich the talent pool and thus help Romanian firms to remain competitive in a global context: Create opportunities for low-income students. Each unemployed person who drops out of school costs the Romanian state around €18,000 in their lifetime. Coupled with unrealized gains from income tax, the state loses as much as €272,000 over this period. Furthermore, Romania’s education system has long been underfunded: the average government expenditure on education in the European Union was 5 percent of GDP in 2020, but only 3.7 percent in Romania. Although Romanian public universities receive almost 63,000 fully paid study grants for first-year students, only around 2,000 are dedicated to students from rural areas. Creating further opportunities for low-income students could enable their social mobility, ensuring the state’s expenditure goes toward economic development. Nurture and retain talent in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Romania’s growth potential lies here—a third of the country’s graduates were in STEM fields in 2020, and Romania has the second-largest share of people ages 25 to 64 working in these fields in the European Union (after Ireland). The number of STEM graduates in Romania has grown by 10 percent from 2015 to 2020, likely driven by the attractive salaries and tax incentives in the IT industry. Overall, Romanian decision makers could consider greater coordination, increased budgets, and more visibility to attract, develop, and retain STEM and entrepreneurial talent, including talent from abroad. Romania could further attract foreign talent by introducing tax reductions for digital nomads (such as Greece), or by shifting immigration policies to a points-based one, as used by Australia. Double down on funding education in the sector and supporting technological transformation. The education system may require reform to grasp this opportunity, as it is less established than its EU counterparts. While a minority of Romanian students excel, almost 40 percent of 15-year-olds have not mastered basic skills according to the OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2015, and more than 15 percent leave school before completing their higher secondary education. To give every student a chance to reach their full potential, Romania could enhance its evaluation and assessment system by setting higher aspirations for teaching and learning with greater support for students and teachers. For example, the country could design its examinations to assess a broader set of skills. Speed and simplicity Speed will be vital in Romania’s journey toward closing technology gaps. The COVID-19 pandemic showed that regulators in Europe and elsewhere can become more agile—this speed could now be applied to a broad range of innovation-related areas. Develop fast-track regulatory approval and decision-making processes. In disruptive innovation, speed matters, yet countries in Europe tend to move relatively slowly, with lengthy consensus-based decision making and slower administrative processes. Regulators could take an accelerated approach to tech-enabled sectors, even if that means occasional setbacks and adjustments. This could be particularly powerful when paired with a common corporate rulebook. For example, Romania could increase the speed at which medicines approved by the European Medicines Agency become available to the public: the country currently has one of the longest time-to-availability in the region (775 days, relative to European counterparts, where evaluation takes up to 210 days). Incentivize companies to invest in employee training and reskilling. For rapid technology adoption, labor markets will need to be flexible. As disruptions spread, more workers will need to change occupations or activities. Labor market rules will likely need to be amended to support faster reallocation. Through Romania’s National Strategy for Employment, the government could implement education and vocational-training programs to develop skills for an adaptable and resilient workforce. To incentivize companies to train employees and develop their professional competencies, Romania could offer tax credits, subsidies, grants, and vouchers. As the Ukraine war looks set to continue, and geopolitical and technological shifts disrupt the status quo, Romania can kick-start collaborations between its private and public sectors and with other EU member states to make the trade-offs needed for technology and competitiveness. This could be key to Romania keeping up with global rivals and propelling economic growth and investment, while supporting social progress.

Does AI Help Reduce Wasteful Holiday Gifting?	Does AI Help Reduce Wasteful Holiday Gifting?	https://sloanreview.mit.edu	[ "Massachusetts Institute Of Technology", "About The Mit Smr Strategy Forum", "Mit Smr Strategy Forum" ]	With AI-driven product recommendations now a mainstay of e-commerce, we asked our panel of experts to respond to the following statement: Artificial ...	To close out 2022, we asked the MIT SMR Strategy Forum panel to weigh in on a lighter topic than usual: holiday gift giving. Finding the perfect gift for a loved one can be a challenging, and even stress-inducing, task. No one wants to give (or receive) a gift that will go unused, leaving many to argue that cash or gift cards, while impersonal, remain king. And holiday gift giving has long been a topic of interest for economists, including Strategy Forum panelist and economist Joel Waldfogel. His 1993 paper “The Deadweight Loss of Christmas,” published in The American Economic Review , famously posited that holiday gift giving destroys a significant portion of the retail value of gifts and results in the problem of “deadweight loss,” given that the best that gift givers can do is to replicate the choice their gift receivers would have made themselves. With AI-driven product recommendations now a mainstay of e-commerce, we asked our panel of experts to respond to the following statement: Artificial intelligence is reducing wasteful holiday giving (i.e., deadweight loss) by helping online retailers to better match people to presents. Disagree Just under half of the responding panelists (48%) either disagreed (38%) or strongly disagreed (10%) that AI is helping to reduce wasteful holiday giving. Tom Lyon of the University of Michigan and Monika Schnitzer of Ludwig Maximilian University both point out that while AI engines are becoming more sophisticated at recognizing what we as individuals might want to purchase for ourselves (based on myriad data), they still lag in helping us buy for others. Likewise, economist Preston McAfee writes, “I think AI could help with the matching of people and presents, but I’m not seeing it in action at this time, nor is the kind of data needed — recipient characteristics — available to use.” Strongly disagree Joshua Gans Rotman School of Management The Wharton School’s Lori Rosenkopf challenges the idea that AI recommendations can address the issue of deadweight loss, noting that in fact “if recommendation engines pull gift givers away from cash or fungible gift cards, deadweight loss is likely to increase.” Another common refrain among those in the “agree” category: Gift giving is about thoughtfulness, not just precise matching. Petra Moser of the NYU Stern School of Business says that AI recommendations miss “the point of gift giving: thinking about the other person and what would make them happy.” Disagree Olav Sorenson UCLA Anderson School of Management Neither Agree nor Disagree Nineteen percent of respondents fall somewhere in the middle, noting that although there are ways in which AI can facilitate better gift giving, there’s still room for waste and error. Joel Waldfogel of the University of Minnesota (and original “Deadweight Loss of Christmas” author) writes that it’s “not clear that AI, per se, is magic here.” For him and several others on the panel, a key issue is that in order to be more useful, AI recommendation engines need more data about the recipient — from retail browsing behavior to personal interests. As Waldfogel points out, gaining access to such data “requires either opting in by the recipient or seeming breaches of privacy.” Anita McGahan of the University of Toronto notes that AI-driven gift giving has its pros (namely, facilitating competitive pricing and reducing delivery costs) and cons (it can remain wasteful and induce unnecessary purchases) but points out that there is “real opportunity in AI-facilitated cultural change to reduce unnecessary consumption altogether.” Harvard Business School’s Shane Greenstein points out that despite AI’s advantages in helping people find gifts, there’s no accounting for taste. Neither agree nor disagree Shane Greenstein Harvard Business School Agree A third of the panelists either agree (28.5%) or strongly agree (5%) that AI is reducing wasteful giving. Erik Brynjolfsson of Stanford notes that recommendation and matching is where AI has excelled for some time: “Recommender systems are one of the oldest and most successful uses of AI. They are far from perfect, but they’re often better than human store clerks at finding appropriate presents for me to give.” Nicolai Foss of Copenhagen Business School says that improvements in AI technology continue to reshape retail markets, and with that, it “may be expected to reduce waste by improving the matching of people and presents.” Timothy Simcoe of Boston University agrees that AI is improving gift giving, at least at the margins, but notes that an analog technology may still reign supreme: the Christmas wish list. “That already works pretty well — except for a few unnamed relatives, who are giving me socks no matter what Amazon tells them,” he adds. And Ashish Arora of Duke University points to another tried-and-true technology for matching people to what they want at the holidays that long predates AI: cash!	2022-12-22T00:00:00		https://sloanreview.mit.edu/strategy-forum/does-ai-help-reduce-wasteful-holiday-gifting/	[ { "date": "2022/12/22", "position": 72, "query": "AI economic disruption" } ]
How is AI different from general intelligence?	How is AI different from general intelligence?	https://indiaai.gov.in	[]	Advances AI for large-scale socio-economic transformation · IndiaAI Startup ... How AI is influencing the next disruption in Indian fintech space. India's ...	This section of "Ask INDIAai'' allows users to submit questions and receive responses. The expert staff of INDIAai will respond to your inquiries. Send your questions to [email protected] . What is AI in gaming? Do any games use AI? - Madan Gowri, Ahmedabad AI in gaming is not limited to games featuring AI characters. Instead, using artificial intelligence to create more responsive, adaptable, and demanding games is of greater importance. And even though scholars contend that gaming AI is not actual AI, the enthusiasm surrounding the technology has been rising for quite some time. Almost all games employ AI in some capacity. With it, it would be easier for a game to give the player an immersive experience. The purpose of artificial intelligence is to immerse the player as much as possible by providing the characters in a fantasy game with a lifelike aspect. How is AI different from general intelligence? - Savvuku Shankar, Mangalore General intelligence can be understood as a construct composed of several cognitive talents. These skills enable individuals to gain knowledge and solve difficulties. In addition, this broad mental capacity is the foundation for specific mental talents such as spatial, numerical, mechanical, and verbal capabilities. Artificial general intelligence (AGI) requires a computer to be as intelligent as a human, whereas AI is preprogrammed to perform a task that a human can do more effectively. It is the type of AI we typically see in blockbuster films. What is the perception of machine learning? - Joseph Dey, Mumbai Machine perception is the capacity of a computer system to understand data in a manner analogous to how people use their senses to interact with the environment. The connected hardware is the primary means computers perceive and respond to their surroundings. As perception is the acquisition of an internal representation of the external world through contact with the surrounding environment, learning changes this internal representation. This book examines the relationship between perception and learning and the impact of learning on environmental interaction. How are AI and robotics related? - Santhosh Kumar, Germany The link between AI and robotics is artificially intelligent robots controlled by AI systems designed to optimise tasks. If you wish to delve further into the complexities of AI and robotics, you should enrol in AI and machine learning courses. In the simplest form of artificial intelligence, reactive machines observe the real environment and respond to it in the present. Famous reactive machines include IBM's Deep Blue chess computer, which could watch the motions of chess pieces and calculate the optimal move for the current situation. What is the aim of sentiment analysis? - Wasim Akram, Dubai Sentiment analysis, often known as opinion mining, is a natural language processing (NLP) technique that determines the emotional undertone of a document. It is a standard method corporations use to define and classify opinions regarding a product, service, or concept. The purpose of sentiment analysis is to accurately extract opinions from a vast quantity of unstructured review texts and categorise them into positive, negative, or neutral sentiment classes. Sometimes "very good" and "extremely negative" are also considered. Is computer vision an AI? - Priyanka Deshpande, Malaysia Computer vision is a branch of artificial intelligence that teaches computers to recognise and interpret information from picture and video data. By applying machine learning (ML) models to photos, computers can identify and respond to things, such as unlocking a smartphone upon recognising the user's face. Computer vision simulates the human brain's capacity for recognising visual data. Large amounts of visual data train machines using pattern recognition algorithms. The machine/computer then analyses the input photos, names the things on these images, and identifies patterns among these objects.	2022-12-22T00:00:00		https://indiaai.gov.in/article/how-is-ai-different-from-general-intelligence	[ { "date": "2022/12/22", "position": 85, "query": "AI economic disruption" } ]
The future of Private Banking in 2023	Reimagining Private Banking for a Changing Economic Landscape	https://www.privatebankerinternational.com	[ "Patrick Brusnahan" ]	This disruption is not due to a global recession, global warming ... However, once real interest rates peak, the economic cycle will pivot, creating opportunities ...	Future of Private Banking: Embracing AI, Data Analytics, and Personalized Wealth Management What trends are going to impact the private banking sector the most in 2023? There are so many emerging themes in the industry; ESG, crypto, blockchain, cybersecurity, philanthropy. The future of private banking in 2023 will be incredibly interesting to witness. What will steal the limelight? Patrick Brusnahan discusses this with the industry Private banking and wealth management firms are braced for one of the biggest disruptions the sector has ever faced. This disruption is not due to a global recession, global warming, technological transformation or the arrival of new entrants: instead, it will be driven by The Great Wealth Transfer. Experts forecast that by the end of 2045, $84 trillion in wealth will transition from one generation to the next. Just as a comparison, the USA’s entire GDP last year was $23 trillion. This generational change will have a profound impact on the wealth management industry. Surveys indicate that the new wealth customers want different things from their wealth manager compared to previous generations. Three major themes emerge: Firstly, the next generation believes that traditional investments will not produce the required returns. Secondly, they want to use their wealth to achieve a purpose. Thirdly, new wealth customers have higher expectations of their private bank than their parents. With these themes in mind, we can expect the following trends to take shape in 2023: The rise of alternative asset classes According to a recent study by the Bank of America Private Bank, younger clients believe that traditional stocks and bonds offer less opportunity for growth than alternative assets such as private equity (including Angel and VC), private debt, specialist funds, collectibles and … crypto assets. With this in mind, wealth managers will need to start offering their customers a wider range of investment opportunities to remain viable. In 2023 we will see a growth in private banks offering their clients access to new asset classes. The volatility of these asset classes and the fact that they are much less regulated than traditional asset classes will make it practically impossible for banks to provide advice in the way they do for publicly traded assets. GlobalData Strategic Intelligence US Tariffs are shifting - will you react or anticipate? Don’t let policy changes catch you off guard. Stay proactive with real-time data and expert analysis. By GlobalData Learn more about Strategic Intelligence One likely scenario is that private banks will start operating as channels connecting their clients to investment opportunities without providing their own investment advice. Accepting cryptocurrency trades will be the most striking manifestation of this shift. In 2023 the reaction of the banks will be best summarised by this comment from JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon: “I’m not a bitcoin supporter. I don’t care about bitcoin. I have no interest in it. “On the other hand, clients are interested, and I don’t tell clients what to do.” The creation of the digital private bank A wealth manager’s most valuable asset is their relationship with the client. With the Great Wealth Transfer, new clients will not be satisfied by the traditional periodic face-to-face meetings and hefty printed reports. Instead, customers will increasingly expect a proposition that is more reliant on digital technology than most private banks are willing to provide, including access to real-time information and transactional capability. By slowing down digitalisation, private banks risk accelerating the departure of their new, younger clientele. Private banks often fear that digitalisation will lead to the disintermediation of the relationship manager by an app or worse, a robo advisor. These fears are unfounded. Going forward, the ideal private bank is a bank that customers carry with them all the time, where they can see the real time value of their portfolio 24/7, where insights are requested and delivered instantly and where interaction with their (human) wealth advisor is supported digitally and augmented by interactive interfaces. But change is afoot, and some private banks are looking at building their own digital version. Credit Suisse’s Wealth Management app is a good example. The emergence of wealth as a service To meet the increased expectations of this new class of client, private banks will need to provide an increasingly wide set of products and services to retain their customers. What’s more, the simplicity of digital banking, especially for young, wealthy customers, makes it very easy for them to change banks if their parents’ bank does not offer what they want. New providers are offering access to new asset classes, help with ESG and philanthropic projects, tailored professional advice and even lifestyle services. Private banks have a choice: they can accept that their clients will engage with these providers without getting involved, or they can decide that they should play a part. What if the banks became the trusted gateway through which their clients gain access to a much wider range of services than the previous generation? The private bank could become a platform where the client not only enjoys services offered by the bank, they also gain seamless access to services and products provided by select third parties. Extending private banking services to other wealth services has always been part of the wealth manager’s remit. Today’s technology can make this a reality with much less effort than ever before. Open banking APIs, Web3.0 investment platforms, angel networks, crypto exchanges, ICO/ITO platforms can transform the private bank into the single point of contact that wealth clients need in order to get the most from their wealth. In 2023 we will see private banks realise that, in the long term, becoming a safe platform from which clients can access the outside world is a more sustainable and profitable strategy than the gated garden they have been striving for. Stéphane Monier, Chief Investment Officer, Lombard Odier 2023 may divide into two distinct phases. The effects of tighter monetary policy, high inflation and slowing growth will carry into 2023, demanding prudent portfolio positioning. However, once real interest rates peak, the economic cycle will pivot, creating opportunities to raise allocations to risk assets. That will only happen once the Federal Reserve halts its interest rate hikes. The central bank is entering a new phase in its monetary cycle by slowing the pace of tightening as inflation declines slowly from four-decade highs. A higher peak in interest rates will accompany a probable recession late in 2022 and into 2023. The resilience of the American job market will be key to the shifting pace of monetary policy. In Europe, consumer prices remain largely driven by energy. The continent’s decoupling from Russian sources is having deep economic and geopolitical consequences. Much now depends on the severity of the northern hemisphere’s winter, but gas inventories have been replenished. China is a potential source of growth in 2023. Its exports remain an essential component of global supply chains and we see the authorities gradually shifting their Covid strategy to re-open the economy. The recovery of the Chinese real estate sector will be another precondition for economic expansion. However, international trade patterns continue to evolve in a more fragmented world, as corporations make their supply chains more resilient through ‘friend-shoring’. The main risks for global growth remain overly restrictive monetary policies, which would worsen the affordability of housing in developed economies. The war in Ukraine retains the potential to inflict further damage on energy markets and on Europe in particular. Any further delay in re-opening the Chinese economy would weigh on global growth, and we cannot rule out further geopolitical tensions over Taiwan. We maintain a cautious stance as we enter the first phase of 2023. We favour quality across asset classes. In equities, we like companies with low earnings volatility and better ability to maintain margins. In fixed income, we prefer investment grade over high yield debt, and in currencies, we prefer havens from risk, such as the US dollar and Swiss franc. We are overweight cash, which enables us to stay nimble and seize investment opportunities as conditions improve. A peak in real interest rates and a trough in economic activity are two key signposts for a different set of investment opportunities. We look at these two distinct phases as demanding distinct responses for portfolios. In this publication, we set out these two approaches for the year ahead. A pivot year: look for the inflection point Monetary policy tightening in the western world, amid a global downturn in economic activity, translates into an unfavourable setup for risk assets. Recession and further cuts to corporate earnings expectations are the main downside risks for both equities and bonds. Peak real rates should provide a turning point in markets. To get there, the Fed will need to pause its interest rate hiking cycle as inflation slows and unemployment rises. As this inflection point approaches, we will gradually increase risk levels in portfolios by adding duration in government bonds and to gold, as well as some equities and credit. Phase One, pre-pivot: until real rates peak, we remain moderately cautious Underweight risk assets for now Macroeconomic conditions warrant a cautious exposure to risk assets, focusing instead on assets that can better withstand the impact of weaker growth or higher rates. Specifically, this means holding quality stocks, government bonds, and investment grade credit. It also implies overweight cash positions to be able to invest as soon as we see opportunities. Prefer quality and diversification across asset classes In the months ahead, we expect new equity market lows as high borrowing costs limit firms’ multiple expansion, and earnings estimates keep adjusting to recessions. In this context, we look for quality companies with low earnings volatility and better ability to defend their margins. Such stocks tend to outperform in recessions or when profits decline. In terms of quality sectors, we prefer healthcare as it enjoys high margins, some insulation from inflation, due to high pricing power, and attractive shareholder returns. Valuations also remain historically undemanding compared with other defensive growth sectors. Asymmetric return profiles Options strategies, such as put spreads on equity indices, can shield portfolios from drawdowns. We have implemented hedges to portfolios throughout 2022, and we will continue to manage them tactically in line with market conditions. Seek diversification through alternatives As market conditions will remain relatively challenging, we continue to favour resilient hedge fund strategies such as global macro, discretionary and quantitative. These should provide diversification, as they tend to benefit from performance dispersion across asset classes and regions. Their typically convex profiles, designed to perform in more extreme periods, should profit from the volatile environment with limited correlation to underlying markets. Some relative value strategies should also provide attractive returns once rates stabilise. USD strength to continue The US dollar’s strength should be maintained through the ‘pre-pivot’ phase, supported by rate differentials, liquidity tightening and America’s terms of trade. Other currencies supported by this environment include the Swiss franc and potentially, the Japanese yen. The euro and sterling should lag, since they are suffering more structural problems related to the energy shock. The Chinese yuan should also underperform as the country’s robust balance of payments begins to weaken. Post pivot, the dollar should weaken. Phase two, once real rates have peaked; we add risk to portfolios, adopting a moderately optimistic stance Gold’s appeal to increase For much of 2022, gold prices were caught between support from geopolitical and recession risks, and the downward pressures of real rates and a strong dollar. With lower rates, a weaker US dollar, and a reopening China, gold prices should rise. In October we sold put options on gold, as a potential means of bringing our position to neutral. Selling out-of-the-money put options allows us to potentially monetise the gold market’s current high volatility, while offering clients greater exposure should prices fall. High yield credit will become increasingly attractive As investor sentiment improves, appetite for risk assets will increase. Once high yield credit spreads more fully price a recession, and rates have stabilised, the carry in this segment will be more attractive than investment grade, and sovereign bonds. Equities to present a buying opportunity As inflation and the threat of higher rates begin to fade, stock valuations and multiples will benefit. Easing financial conditions will lead to improving investor sentiment and in turn, expand price-to-earnings ratios. By mid-2023, earnings and sales expectations will be revised lower, and markets will start to look ahead to 2024 and a recovery from the cyclical slowdown. That will present opportunities to add exposure to cyclical and growth names. Emerging market equities and local currency bonds After a Fed pivot, we expect emerging assets to rebound. However, a shift in sentiment and growth dynamics is needed. If these catalysts materialise, we see emerging equities outperforming developed markets, and emerging local currency debt looking increasingly attractive. While we are already gradually more constructive on emerging local rates, given well-advanced monetary cycles, we expect emerging currencies to recover from depressed levels only when financial conditions improve. There will be room for appreciation for emerging assets after the pivot, with more appetite from international investors and improved confidence in the emerging market landscape. Philipp Buschmann, CEO and co-founder, AAZZUR AI is now commonly used to make decisions on loans, insurance packages, and fraud detection. This has increased financial inclusion while also improving the efficiency of the delivery of financial services to customers. AI algorithms are already a standard expectation for new fintech applications. However, the public is beginning to raise concerns about the ethical implications of AI in such mission-critical decision-making. For example, there was a public outcry a few months ago about the Apple card algorithm which gave men higher credit card limits than women. In 2023, AI algorithms in financial software development will play a larger role in determining who and how much access to various financial services is granted. However, fintech firms must be able to balance the scale that these algorithms provide with impeccable ethics in their implementation by developing robust systems that protect end users. Financial Inclusion According to the World Bank, over the last ten years, 1.2 billion unbanked people have gained access to financial services, a feat made possible by the introduction of innovations such as artificial intelligence, which has enabled fintech companies to deliver financial services at scale. However, the road to global financial inclusion through financial software development remains long, with 1.7 billion more people who remain unbanked, many living in developing and underdeveloped countries. As a result, we have seen an increase in VC investments in fintech pouring into the African and APAC regions. Experts predict that financial services revenues in Africa will grow by 10% per year until 2025, in what has been described as a “coming of age.” Similarly, despite the global economic downturn, APAC fintech investment rose to $41.8 billion in 2022 H1, more than doubling the $19.2 billion recorded in 2021 H1. In terms of fintech investments, 2023 will be a watershed moment in the advancement of global financial inclusion. The industry is not yet fully developed, and there are several areas that need to be explored. Fintechs should work to boost the robustness of their financial services in order to withstand the shocks and disruption that 2022 has brought. Nonetheless, the possibilities and profit are endless.	2022-12-22T00:00:00	2022/12/22	https://www.privatebankerinternational.com/features/the-future-of-private-banking-in-2023/	[ { "date": "2022/12/22", "position": 89, "query": "AI economic disruption" } ]
Building Resilience in Supply Chain: Navigating Disruptions	Building Resilience in Supply Chain: Navigating Disruptions	https://www.polestarllp.com	[ "Vinita Gera" ]	Companies have been incorporating tools like AI and supply chain analytics to track suppliers' performance, forecast demand, source more sustainably, optimize ...	Global supply chains have been buckling under the strain of restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic but little do organizations know how supply chain analytics can change the game and help them overcome recruitment challenges, substantial fluctuations in goods demand, chip shortages, expensive operational costs, and much more. This storm of challenges has left many organizations with inadequate goods to continue business operations in a usual manner, affecting bottom-line profitability and brand reputation. It is undeniable that the pandemic has proved to be a real test of the resilience and flexibility of supply chain leaders worldwide. It is forecasted that the global supply chain market will likely experience a CAGR of 11.2% from 2020 to 2027 . So, as economies get back to the new normal, the supply chain will be important to securely, swiftly, and safely supply products and services. What are the risks and challenges faced by supply chain industry? The supply chain function faces various challenges that contribute to the risks faced by the overall supply chain. Ensuring the quality and availability of data is vital for accurate analysis, mitigating the risk of flawed decision-making due to incomplete or inaccurate information. Integrating data from different systems and sources addresses the risk of fragmented visibility, enabling better coordination and risk management across the supply chain. Data security and privacy challenges are critical in mitigating the risk of data breaches and unauthorized access, protecting sensitive information throughout the supply chain. Scalability challenges in handling large volumes of data help mitigate the risk of inefficiencies and delays. Effective change management helps mitigate the risk of resistance to adopting data analytics initiatives, promoting a data-driven culture within the supply chain. By addressing biases in data analysis and interpretation, the risk of biased decision-making can be minimized. Finally, demonstrating the value and return on investment of data analytics efforts helps mitigate the risk of investing in ineffective or inefficient solutions. Supply chain risks In the wake of the Coronavirus crisis, fundamental shifts in customer behavior, supply chains, and ways to market have hit organizations off balance. To respond to the pandemic disruptions, organizations have faced a sudden push to accelerate the implementation of agile working practices and value chain transformation to navigate uncertainty. To accelerate the escalation process, organizations require continuous end-to-end assessment, optimization, and monitoring of business operations. Organizations need to respond rapidly to shape and execute a short-term plan that will mitigate the risks to human health and protect the functioning of global supply chains. Data and analytics capabilities play a crucial role in understanding complexity, forecasting potential disruption, and quickly developing a response. How to respond to Supply Chain Disruption? It is imperative for businesses to navigate the operational and financial challenges posed by COVID-19 while rapidly addressing the ever-evolving needs of suppliers and customers. By making strategic decisions on a granular level and capitalizing on supply chain analytics, supply chain leaders can turn disruptions into opportunities. No matter how turbulent the sea gets, the below-listed vital steps will help supply chain leaders safely steer their corporate ship's supply chain. 1. Keep a Record of Supplies and Existing Inventory: Being with assessing what you already have on the table. Consider what you already have as a starting point. How can you utilize what is already available? What do you need to survive the upcoming months, considering any potential demand surges around the holidays? Gallup research indicates that 60% of consumers were unable to get a product due to shortages. Depending on your industry, you can keep extra goods on hand for times when prices and/or supply are favorable. Even if prices are high, stockpiling extra supplies can bring significant business stability. Also, by conducting an internal supply chain audit, you can reduce operational costs and enhance competitive advantage where possible during tough economic times. As machine learning and artificial intelligence continue to make waves in the supply chain, companies like Capgemini use AI to optimize inventory management and reduce waste by integrating SAS solutions into supply chain operations. 2. Diversify Suppliers: Diversification may sound simple, but it may be challenging to locate a different manufacturer or distributor depending on the product. Make sure that you have different vendors (both locally and internationally) in your supply chain, and both primary and backup. It's important to make a list of criteria to consider when choosing an ideal vendor for your business including lead time, pricing, a thorough audit, and a facility tour. It is wise to select a supplier with strengths aligned with your business goals, wherever possible, effective communication is vital in order to understand how to prioritize one supplier over another. Many business leaders claim that slow response time is the biggest tell-tale sign that a potential supplier will not fit into a business model. A recent Forbes article reads that multiple-vendor sourcing is the only way to get critical supplies in the event of a disaster that disrupts supply chain operations (think floods or fires). 3. Maintain a risk exposure map: You can promptly respond to supply and demand cycles if you have visibility across the whole supply chain. You'll be more adaptable when the global supply chain is disrupted and the logistics stream backs up. The foundation of any supply chain is the effective planning of sales and operations. Many organizations do not invest in selective technology which often results in inefficient sales cycles. Those who practice nimble resource allocation and invest in the right technology have been able to benefit from the current inflation cycle. Demand forecasting is followed by production and inventory management. During the COVID-19 crisis, organizations that had invested in visibility software were able to optimize production and inventories, and they are now more adept at handling the current inflation demand cycle. You can modify the supply chains to reduce risks if you can visually spot supply chain problems in your systems. A supply chain risk map should be maintained for operational and planning purposes. Companies have been incorporating tools like AI and supply chain analytics to track suppliers’ performance, forecast demand, source more sustainably, optimize production, and ultimately hedge the risk. 4. Long-term business planning: Planning and flexibility complement each other while running a small business. Having said that, creating a long-term plan for your organization is an ideal approach to beat the odds when some plans go awry. Long-term strategic planning helps you track your company's progress and identify future possibilities. A Capgemini director of supply chain transformation claimed that organizations can stay abreast of the industry competition and their peers by ensuring the availability of contingency plans for business-critical processes. Having formed strong alliances with logistics providers supply chain leaders can better navigate the shortage of containers, truck drivers, etc, and save costs during times of excess demand. To increase the flexibility of their networks, businesses must also intentionally diversify their connections with logistical service providers. A leading American retailer recently networked with an American ship manager to lease multiple cargo ships for a period of three years . We suppose that when planning the logistics, this retailer looked at its three-year demand curve and wanted to have options for the subsequent years. Over the coming years, container spot prices might be substantially lower, but this retailer is prepared for possible shortages. Having control over the vessels enables flexibility for retailers in choosing which ports to use. 5. Digitize your business supply chain: Digitizing your supply chain will make it simpler for you to plan ahead, identify issues before they turn into big problems, and pivot or launch new lines of business. For example, TentCraft, a Veteran Owned Small Business (VOSB) expanded the use of digital technology to create a connected ecosystem that helped it align its supply chain and retool manufacturing to build healthcare solutions. AI-powered tools can be used to make smart business decisions based on models of supply and demand patterns. From increased operational efficiency to flexible support for hybrid and remote work, digitizing your business brings a pool of benefits and navigates supply chain disruptions. What’s Next: Key Priorities for Supply Chain Leaders Organizations that focus on the key priorities will be able to respond better to extraordinary disruption in the most effective way. 1. Preserve the extended workforce: Encourage the mental health and physical well-being of supply chain employees while also taking care of their emotional needs. 2. Rethink your capabilities: Discover ways to repurpose the supply chain for resilience and help societies manage urgent challenges with agility and higher responsiveness. 3. Secure the supply networks: Strengthen the security of the supply base to proactively address security or compliance issues and reduce legal and financial exposure. 4. Respond with insights: Leverage digital platforms, analytics for supply chain, and automation capabilities to prioritize customers, geographies, and products and ensure product availability to those who need them most. 5. Understand and evolve: Learn about root causes and failure modes to determine where to make improvements to supply chains and focus on end-customer outcomes. 6. Build resilience: Use micro-segmented supply chains and pivot to customer-centricity to create intelligent supply chains with a higher focus on agility, resilience, and social responsibility. Manage Supply Chain Responsibility and Resilience The aforementioned key priorities will enable businesses to respond to the extraordinary disruption in the best possible manner, both now and in the years to come. A McKinsey report claims that 93% of senior supply-chain executives intend to make their supply chains more resilient, flexible, and agile. The main goal is to rebuild the supply chain for the future by enhancing its agility, responsiveness, and resilience at every stage. However, it is crucial to combine this with a sense of responsibility and purpose in supply chain plans and response protocols. In addition to helping companies overcome COVID-19's challenges, this resilience and responsibility combination will lay the groundwork for future competitive advantage and company expansion. Wrapping Up The whole supply chain ecosystem, which consists of manufacturers, shipping and logistics companies, ports, local governments, and retailers, will profit from a solution developed using the above-shared principles. Companies can improve their ability to handle supply chain problems in the future by implementing resilience and redundancy. Regardless of the multiple technological solutions available, organizations that don't prepare for uncertainty or don't align supply chain effectiveness with efficiency will just not be able to change course rapidly when the black swan event looms in. And in today’s volatile & disruptive business landscape, that isn't an option. At Polestar Analytics, we provide Anaplan for supply chain planning to improve supply chains for the benefit of customers and the company’s bottom lines. We keep up with the latest trends, research, and insights about supply chain planning, inventory optimization, and demand forecasting to create maximum value for your business.	2022-12-22T00:00:00		https://www.polestarllp.com/blog/navigating-supply-chain-disruptions-and-building-resilience	[ { "date": "2022/12/22", "position": 90, "query": "AI economic disruption" } ]

Automation is the key to maintaining optimal network performance and availability during tumultuous times. A resilient, automated network keeps functioning even if administrators can’t physically access the infrastructure or when a recession forces companies to reduce their IT workforce. A network automation framework includes all the tools, technologies, and practices required to build a resilient and fully automated enterprise network infrastructure. The four building blocks of a resilient network automation framework include: In previous blogs, we focused on the building blocks that enable network automation and orchestration. In this blog, we’ll discuss how AIOps and machine learning help teams manage their automation and orchestration—and the massive amounts of data produced by their automated systems—more efficiently. What is AIOps? AIOps—artificial intelligence for IT operations—was originally introduced by Gartner in 2017. It uses AI technologies like machine learning (ML) and natural language processing (NLP) to analyze IT operations data. This data is pulled in from many different sources, including monitoring and visibility platforms, environmental monitoring sensors, event logs, and firewalls. AIOps utilizes that data to automate tasks like event correlation, anomaly detection, and root cause analysis (RCA) as well as to predict future outcomes and provide valuable business insights. What’s the difference between AI and machine learning? Before we delve any deeper into the specific uses for and benefits of AIOps, it’s important to clarify what we mean when we talk about technologies like AI and machine learning. AI stands for artificial intelligence, which is defined as a computer’s ability to display human-like intelligence through behaviors like learning from new data, drawing conclusions based on that data, and coming up with solutions to problems. Machine learning, on the other hand, describes a computer’s ability to process large quantities of data and learn from it. Learning is a major requirement for AI, which means that all machine learning applications could be considered AI. However, not all AI is machine learning—artificial intelligence uses additional technology to make decisions, solve problems, and perform other automated functions. Essentially, AI describes a broad range of technologies, whereas machine learning is a more specific subset of technologies included in the AI umbrella. In the context of AIOps, however, machine learning is often the only artificial intelligence technology in use. Using AIOps and machine learning to manage automated network infrastructure In an automated enterprise network, AIOps and machine learning use advanced algorithms to provide in-depth analysis of all the data collected from production infrastructure, automation components, and orchestration systems. AIOps solutions can even take things a step further by making decisions and solving problems based on the results of that data analysis. Some examples of how AIOps and machine learning can be used to manage automated network infrastructure include: Security Cyberattacks and data breaches are major threats to the reliability and performance of network infrastructure. In addition to the financial losses caused by sensitive data exfiltration and reputation loss, security breaches are also a leading cause of downtime, which directly impacts business revenue. According to the ITIC’s 2022 Global Server Hardware Security survey, 76% of enterprises cited security breaches as the top cause of downtime. That means network security is paramount to the resilience of an automated infrastructure. For many years, network security relied on signature-based detection for jobs like intrusion prevention, antivirus, and spam filtering. Signature-based detection involves comparing an incoming request to a database of known threats to see if it matches—if not, it’s assumed to be safe and allowed into the network. This approach only works if the database is kept up to date and if all incoming threats have been identified in the past. Signature-based detection often fails to catch zero-day exploits or novel malware that it hasn’t seen before, plus it tends to generate a lot of false positives. AIOps security solutions overcome this problem by learning from past experiences. Machine learning is able to extract information from past threats and then develop algorithms to recognize, predict, and categorize a new threat that it’s never seen before. This makes AIOps adept at preventing new threats as well as detecting ones already on the network. You can also use AIOps to analyze data from infrastructure logs and other security solutions to spot the more subtle signs of a breach that’s already happened or that’s currently taking place. For example, AIOps and machine learning may detect an unusually large amount of data leaving the network, which could indicate that a malicious actor is exfiltrating sensitive information. Another security use for AI is called User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA), which inspects account activity on a network and reports anomalous behavior that could indicate an account has been compromised. AIOps improves upon automated network security solutions by using adaptive learning and predictive analysis to detect new and unusual threats with a greater degree of accuracy. It also takes advantage of the massive amounts of data produced by security appliances and network infrastructure to identify the subtle clues left behind by sophisticated cybercriminals. This makes AIOps a valuable tool for maintaining the security and availability of an automated network infrastructure. Monitoring An automated network infrastructure generates a massive quantity of logs that can be used to assess health and performance as well as to identify potential issues before they cause any outages or downtime. However, humans aren’t very good at sifting through large amounts of data to figure out what’s relevant and what isn’t. Many monitoring solutions use basic automation to help weed out important data, for example by letting admins set performance thresholds that generate automatic alerts when devices fall out of the optimal operating range. However, this kind of automation creates a lot of false positives, which are tedious to sort through and could lead to admin neglect or complacency. It can also only detect specific symptoms and issues that fall within the scope of the monitoring thresholds programmed by a sysadmin, which means it can’t adapt to changing circumstances or predict new problems that weren’t anticipated by the admin in advance. An AIOps monitoring solution collects all the logs produced by automated infrastructure and analyzes them in real time. Sysadmins can still set performance thresholds and program automatic alerts, but AIOps also uses machine learning to “think outside the box” by recognizing patterns and detecting anomalies it wasn’t programmed to look for. That means issues are identified faster, potentially before they cause any noticeable problems for end-users. Machine learning also gives AIOps monitoring solutions the ability to track performance over time and predict future outcomes based on historical data. For example, organizations can use AIOps analysis to plan infrastructure upgrade schedules based on when device performance is predicted to start degrading, or in advance of a predicted spike in demand for a particular location. This gives CIOs and IT managers the ability to make smarter decisions about where and when to invest money and how to prioritize new initiatives. AIOps monitoring solutions work well with data lakes, which are large repositories for unstructured data. Data lakes are an efficient way to process large quantities of data, such as monitoring and security logs. This enables the data to be used by AIOps and other big data tools. AIOps transforms the flood of logs generated by complex, automated network infrastructures into actionable data. Enterprises can use AIOps and machine learning to catch subtle issues before they turn into major problems, improving the performance and availability of network resources. AIOps also provides valuable business intelligence that organizations can use to make smarter and more cost-effective decisions during recessions and other tumultuous events. Root cause analysis (RCA) When there’s an outage or other business interruption, the main priority is fixing whatever is preventing systems from operating normally so that systems can get back online. Often, this means fixing the symptoms of some deeper underlying problem. If that core problem isn’t addressed, it’s likely to cause another outage in the future. That means administrators must perform a root cause analysis (RCA) to discover the source, come up with a fix, and document everything for future reference. Root cause analysis involves digging through devices, applications, and service logs, which human engineers can’t do as efficiently as AI solutions. AIOps can comb through all the relevant logs to determine the most likely cause of the problem as well as recommend the best solution to fix it. Incidents are automatically generated, prioritized, and assigned to the correct team for resolution, ensuring the core problem is quickly and thoroughly fixed to prevent future outages. Some AIOps solutions can even automatically resolve some issues without waiting for a human engineer to receive an alert, log in to the system, identify the problem, and implement a solution. This can significantly reduce the mean time to resolution (MTTR) and minimize expensive business interruptions. Sorting through data is what AIOps does best, which makes it the perfect tool for RCA. AIOps can determine the root cause of automated infrastructure failures much faster than human admins, making it easier to fix these underlying problems before they cause future downtime. AI can even proactively implement fixes while issues are ongoing, allowing businesses to recover faster and reduce the cost of outages. Implementing AIOps and machine learning in a resilient network automation framework AIOps is the final layer of the network automation framework because it reduces the management complexity involved in monitoring, troubleshooting, and optimizing automated network infrastructure. Because AIOps needs to collect logs from every single component of the network automation framework, it must be a vendor-neutral solution that has access to your orchestration platform as well as all your management hardware and software. This will be much easier if your orchestration, automation infrastructure, and IT/OT management infrastructure are also vendor-neutral. For example, the Nodegrid platform from ZPE Systems includes management devices like Gen 3 OOB serial consoles and integrated network edge routers that can bring your entire mixed-vendor environment under a single management umbrella. Nodegrid hardware is truly vendor-neutral, which means it can directly host your AIOps applications to help consolidate devices in your rack. The ZPE Cloud infrastructure orchestration platform also supports integrations with third-party and cloud-based AIOps solutions. Either way, you get network infrastructure management, monitoring, automation, orchestration, and AIOps in a single platform.	2022-12-22T00:00:00	2022/12/22	https://zpesystems.com/using-aiops-and-machine-learning-to-manage-automated-network-infrastructure-zs/	[ { "date": "2022/12/22", "position": 47, "query": "machine learning workforce" } ]
Big Tech layoffs in 2022: From Microsoft, Meta to Twitter ...	Big Tech layoffs in 2022: From Microsoft, Meta to Twitter, Adobe and Intel, companies that have cut jobs \| Year-ender	https://www.financialexpress.com	[ "Priya Pathak" ]	layoffs Big Tech layoffs in 2022: From Microsoft, Meta ... Google Veo 3 AI video generator launched in India: India price, features, availability and more ...	Year 2022 has been the year of so many things- Omicron Virus spread, inflation surge, hybrid work model and then its eventual ending. Year 2022 was an eventful one with its own share of ups and downs teaching us the ways of life. Of the many things that made it to the newsroom this year, tech companies have been the major contributors to the headlines. Year 2022 saw a massive round of job cuts and hiring freezes by tech companies. Almost all major tech giants like Tesla, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft and Twitter have trimmed their headcounts at work space, some even did it more than once reflecting the uncertainty which lies ahead. To combat issues like geopolitical turmoil, supply chain mismatch and surging economic inflation, tech companies announced massive layoffs to cut down on their operational costs and support their balance sheet. As this year comes close to its end and the world is gearing up to usher into a new year, here’s looking back at some of the major tech layoffs that were announced this year. Adobe Adobe has announced to lay off its 100 employees, mostly from its sales team. The multinational computer software company has said that it is not doing “company-wide layoffs” and is still looking to hire for critical roles. HP HP plans to reduce its headcount between 4000 to 6,000 employees or 12 percent of its global workforce over the next three years. It blames poor PC sales, which were high during the pandemic, but have since been declining due to rising inflation and households cutting down on expenses. Amazon While Amazon has not given any numbers, it is speculated that the company has removed some 10,000 employees and plans to have more layoffs in 2023. The Amazon CEO, Andy Jassy, in a post has said that layoffs are part of the company’s annual planning process which extends into the new year, which means there will be more role reductions next year. Meta Meta has confirmed cutting 10% of the company workforce which is 11,000 roles. Company’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg has said that those impacted will receive 16 weeks’ severance, plus two weeks’ pay for each year they have been with the company. They’ll also receive additional health and career benefits. The company has blamed this on poor earnings, soaring costs, macroeconomic downturn, increased competition, and ads signal loss. Twitter Twitter has been in headlines round the year with job cuts being the second big reason for this after Musk’s acquisition. The company, since getting its new CEO, has seen a massive round of job firing including C suite and nearly half of its global workforce. The mounting pressure of new working conditions at Twitter 2.0 also led to many employees resigning from their jobs at the company. This has to be one of the most controversial and biggest tech layoffs of this year. Microsoft Technology major Microsoft is also in this race. The company has let go off its 1000 employees from its Xbox, Edge and Devices teams. Before this, it had fired around 1800 employees in July this year. Intel Intel is said to fire about 20 percent of its staff due to sharp decline in sales. Company’s Habana Labs announced to remove its 10 per cent workforce to help adjust to current business reality. Apple Apple has reportedly paused all hiring till 2023. The company has reportedly halted hiring for jobs outside its research and development as part of its plan to cut costs for the next year. The company is also said to be dropping the launch of iPhone SE 2023.

Will Artificial Intelligence Replace Physicians in ...	Will Artificial Intelligence Replace Physicians in the Healthcare Industry?	https://nextgeninvent.com	[]	Explore the potential impact of artificial intelligence on the healthcare industry and whether or not it could potentially replace physicians in the future.	Waldo experiment: Waldo wears a stocking cap, even in the summer, is skinny, usually wears a striped shirt, needs a haircut, and always hangs out with lots of other characters. Can you find him in the image? And if you did, how long did it take? The viral video where a robot built with Google AI finds Waldo from a cluster of images within seconds which a human eye would normally take minutes. But if we change the question to who all needs a haircut in the picture then will the computer do that. That’s where in our opinion, a physician’s power lies. Or better question will be which haircut will look best on which person based on his liking/ethnicity etc. Please note that we are only highlighting two of the thousand parameters that might be going in a physician’s mind. Unfortunately, not all decisions are black and white in our human world. Even if we consider fully automated surgeries, we have history books to offer wisdom. The advent and progress in AI has been remarkable, and we have had our fair share of lessons from shortcomings and mistakes like Therac-25 in the past, where admittedly so we’ve realized there is a long, long way to go before AI can even dream of replacing surgeon. I would also like to point to the problem with malpractice insurance and FDA approval. Think of a hospital having 1000 physicians and malpractice points to one physician vs malpractice. Pointing to AI that does the work of 1000 physicians. Imagine a situation where If we may run out of physicians overnight because of one blunder or mistake. In nutshell, we believe that it is unlikely we’ll get humanoid “robot physicians” for a long time to come. Though technology will replace some of the more routine aspects of medical care, or improve it but for now. The physicians are here to stay.	2022-12-22T00:00:00		https://nextgeninvent.com/blogs/will-artificial-intelligence-replace-physicians-in-the-healthcare-industry/	[ { "date": "2022/12/22", "position": 82, "query": "AI healthcare" } ]
Artificial Intelligence Jobs for Designers	Artificial Intelligence Jobs for Designers	https://www.designity.com	[]	Just like graphic designing, AI can be a useful tool for UX Designers out there. ‍. Even though AI can learn incredibly quickly, it can't think creatively or ...	When you were a kid you might have wondered what the world would look like when you grew up. ‍ Would it be a world full of holograms, Rosie the Robots, and interplanetary travel? ‍ Now that you’re grown, you know it’s not quite that way (though there’s nothing stopping you from naming your Roomba, Rosie). ‍ But even though we’re not teleporting and zooming around in flying cars, it doesn’t mean that the world hasn’t changed since we were kids. ‍ Artificial Intelligence, something that used to only feature in Sci-Fi films is now a reality. ‍ It’s also a rapidly advancing field, one that is creating as many jobs as some feared it might one day replace. Are the robots taking over? ‍ While machines have replaced people to some extent, the jobs that they take over tend to be the low-value, tedious, and dangerous jobs that don't require a lot of complex human decision-making anyway. ‍ And most of those jobs are ones that most humans were only too happy to let them take. ‍ So, yes, while machines make assembly lines and taking inventory easier and more efficient, there is no replacement yet for the natural human intelligence that makes businesses thrive and grow. ‍ In fact, freeing up intelligent humans from boring and dangerous tasks gives them an opportunity to do other things, such as telling the machines what to do and assisting in machine learning. ‍ This is true of many different industries, and designers out there can rejoice, because AI designing is an up-and-coming field that you can start getting into today. ‍ The machines are our friends, not our overlords. ‍ So, in no particular order of importance, here are some AI jobs for United States-based designers that you can find now. ‍ AI Designer ‍ ‍ You don’t need to be a data scientist, but if you’ve got a good tech base and are a creative and efficient problem-solver, then you might find a role as an AI Designer to be the right fit for you. ‍ As an AI Designer, your duties would be to collaborate with AI engineers and software development experts to create a system that facilitates the efficient collection of high-quality data through annotation. ‍ In simpler terms, you help to design a system that makes it easier to feed the right kind of data to the AI machines and then teach it how to effectively use that data. The more data the AI has access to, the faster and more accurately it can learn how to apply it. ‍ AI Designers have to be incredibly creative to come up with the right kind of data-collection systems for AI users to properly use their technology. ‍ You’ll also be developing products based on AI, coming up with creative uses for those products, and presenting your ideas to potential investors to help your company get it off the ground. ‍ AI Designers also have a hand in developing new technologies and designing AI development tools. ‍ Create AI-powered apps for website engineers, tailor-made for the needs of those website owners’ target audience, or use your design techniques along with AI to create interactive experiences for your client’s customers. ‍ If you’ve got the know-how, there are plenty of doors open for you in this growing field. ‍ Conversation Designer ‍ Got a way with words? ‍ If so, you might be a good AI Conversation Designer. ‍ Many websites have implemented chatboxes (more on that later) into their design to give consumers a way to answer simple questions during off hours or save their employees for the more complex questions that require human interaction. ‍ And someone’s got to teach that chatbox how to have a conversation, right? ‍ Conversation Designer is a role that definitely didn’t exist a few years ago but is now a very important part of any website designer’s team. ‍ They train the AI bots by giving them sample dialogue that helps them practice conversing, and by programming the bot’s technology to find the best structure for those conversations. ‍ The designer must have the insight and creativity to come up with questions that a consumer would ask, know their pain points, and the solution that addresses them best. ‍ The bot can’t do that by itself. It must be taught to respond to questions conversationally and naturally, making sure it’s as helpful as possible to ensure a good user experience and not a frustrating one. ‍ And if you’ve ever talked to a bot that wasn’t at all helpful, then now you know how useful a Conversation Designer really is. ‍ This is a relatively new position, but it’s one that’s growing as more and more companies turn to chat boxes to increase the effectiveness of their websites. ‍ Graphic Designer ‍ ‍ An AI graphic designer? ‍ But isn’t the whole point of AI art to eliminate the need for one of those? ‍ Not quite. If you’re a graphic designer, you don’t need to be worried about AI art taking over your job just yet. ‍ On the contrary, AI can be your friend; a useful tool to help you with your projects. Take a look at some AI-generated images on sites, such as Midjourney or neural.love. ‍ Websites like those can quickly generate images using your client’s key phrases, slogans, ideas, etc., and can be extremely useful in speeding up the brainstorming and ideation phases of your work. ‍ Using AI art, you can quickly conjure up a mood board for your client to pick over, choosing elements of the image they’d like in their marketing collateral and making it that much easier for you to get a bead on their wants and style choices. ‍ Or use AI-generated art to gain inspiration for that next project. ‍ And if you come across an exceptionally good generated image, then there’s a free shortcut for you. ‍ Tweak it to be more in line with your client’s brand, style, and color palette, and spend your extra time doing something else. ‍ AI isn’t here to replace you, but it can make your job easier! ‍ UX Designer ‍ Just like graphic designing, AI can be a useful tool for UX Designers out there. ‍ Even though AI can learn incredibly quickly, it can’t think creatively or strategically the way that a human designer can. ‍ To create a great, user-friendly website, you’re just going to need that human touch. And AI can help you elevate a good website to a great one. ‍ Use AI technology for chatboxes to answer potential consumers’ easy questions, allowing them to get the information they need instantly and without taking up time from a human employee. ‍ You can use AI as part of an e-commerce website, allowing it to take user data to generate purchase suggestions based on their search inquiries and items they may have previously purchased. ‍ Because AI handles data so quickly and efficiently, you can increase conversions on your client’s websites by offering insight into customers’ behavior without having to manually track their previous purchases and browser history. ‍ A customer who can quickly and easily find what they’re looking for on your website is a customer that’s going to come back again the next time they need the solution your client is offering. ‍ So, UX Designers, why not hop aboard? AI isn’t going anywhere, so you might as well make it a tool in your arsenal. ‍ ‍ <div class="c-blog_comp-cta cc-component-2"><div class="c-blog_comp-cta-left"><div class="c-blog_comp-cta-left-wrap"><img src="https://global-uploads.webflow.com/61cdf3c5e0b8155f19e0105b/63695243d096983691046ac3_Potential-Creative.png" loading="lazy" alt="" class="c-blog_comp-cta-left-img"></div></div><div class="c-blog_comp-cta-right cc-dark"><div class="c-blog_comp-content"><div class="c-text-wrapper cc-mb-32"><div class="c-title-4 cc-bold"><strong>Like to work as a freelancer with consistent income?</strong></div></div><div class="c-text-wrapper"><div class="c-text-2">Designity's collaborative model is designed to give you all of the perks of being a freelancer without the income instability.<br></div></div></div><div class="c-blog_comp-wrapper"><a href="http://designity.com/creatives" target="_blank" class="c-button w-button"><strong>Join Our Creative Community</strong></a></div></div></div> ‍ Man and machine, working in harmony. ‍ As you can see, there’s no need to fear a Terminator-style AI uprising just yet. ‍ The truth is quite the opposite! The machines need us. Although AI technology can seem independent, just remember that behind every intelligent machine is a human being, helping it to learn. ‍ And as long as businesses are implementing AI into everything from graphic design to website building, then they’re going to need those naturally intelligent humans to make it work. ‍ So, why not go with the flow? AI technology is creating jobs that didn’t exist as little as ten years ago and making the jobs that did exist easier than ever before. ‍ The opportunities are out there if you know where to look. ‍ What’s your favorite way to incorporate AI into your work? ‍	2022-12-22T00:00:00		https://www.designity.com/blog/artificial-intelligence-jobs-for-designers	[ { "date": "2022/12/22", "position": 12, "query": "AI graphic design" } ]
Graphic design trends, expert tips, and best creative tools ...	Graphic design trends, expert tips, and best creative tools for 2023	https://www.adobe.com	[ "Adobe Express" ]	Top 10 graphic design trends of 2023 · 10. AI visual image creation, AR, and new technologies · 9. Vibrant nostalgia · 8. Serif fonts · 7. 3D design · 6. Geometric ...	Chris Do isn’t a big fan of trends. Or, rather, he isn’t a big fan of articles about design trends. That’s not to say the Emmy award-winning designer, creative director, brand consultant, and influencer doesn’t think deeply about design or know what’s popular. Indeed, as the founder and CEO of an education platform called The Futur — which aims to empower one billion creative entrepreneurs to establish successful, sustainable, and fulfilling businesses — he probably has a better sense of design trends than most. It’s just that Do finds the pervasive preoccupation with looking for and labeling things as trends, as well as the obligatory annual forecasting of future trends, a bit tiresome. Maybe even ridiculous. “That's a trend in itself — trying to find something to call a trend,” he says. “I think it can be a little absurd.” Do mentions a couple of examples of supposed trends he’s come across — the helvetica typeface (“it's been out for decades, and you're telling me it's trendy? That's a long trend”) and minimalism (“minimalism is a concept, not a form”). But, he says, “these things pop up on your radar and people you follow seem to be using or talking about them at the same time, so through your own lens you see a trend happening.” There are lots of articles this time of year about trends, in everything from marketing and technology to music and fashion — and design is no different. Audiences are always looking for something new and different, while also seeking familiarity and nostalgia. But trends come and go, they change, some stick, some don’t, they’re contextual and particular, not universal and permanent. “We’re often in one of two camps,” Do says, “either writing about and adopting every trend, and some turn into fads and we have pie on our face because it didn't work out well. Or, we can be completely resistant to all trends or shifts or movements in society and culture and taste. And I think one or the other is kind of a dangerous thing.” It’s important for individual artists and creatives, as well as marketers and business owners, to be aware of design trends so they know what’s out there. They need to understand what’s being done and what’s been done already, what’s cool and what isn’t, what works best for a brand and what does not. But it’s equally important to not let trends control your creativity and dictate every design decision you make. Being "trendy" can sometimes kill a brand. Your brand and designs should adapt as new concepts emerge. However, always remember your roots. Like Nike or Coca Cola, your brand should strive to transcend time and your design should maintain its identity. That’s why it’s crucial, Do says, “for creatives to have a broader view of different aesthetics and styles, and pick the one that is most connected to the message you're trying to communicate.” Many casual creatives, business owners, and marketers want to know about current and coming design trends so they can create amazing content, build a cool and professional-looking brand, and achieve their goals. Trends give them information, inspiration, and ideas — but they also need the workflows, ways of thinking, technology, and tools to bring those powerful ideas to life. In this article, we’ll tell you about some of the top global design trends for 2023. But you’ll also learn from Do, one of the leading creative minds in content marketing, about design as a concept and a process. Top 10 graphic design trends of 2023 1. Hand-drawn illustrations Nearly 90% of consumers say authenticity is important when they’re deciding which brands they support. Utilizing illustrations in design is one way businesses are demonstrating their authenticity. In a landscape of sleek, clean, perfectly rendered, and often indistinguishable graphics, hand-drawn illustrations help your designs stand out. People are more interested in custom art and visuals than stock images. Personalization is highly prized in both the design and business worlds, and hand-drawn illustrations are among the most honest and authentic. They bring a familiar, down-to-earth look to your brand that is welcoming and comforting to consumers. Another advantage is that these illustrations can’t be easily copied by competitors because they’re unique to your business. “I, for one, think that it will never go out of style to see the ‘invisible hand’ that touches the work,” Do says. “I think there's something to it that instantly we connect and resonate with. Like, a human being made this — not a machine, not a factory. Those imperfections can't be replaced by machines, and it seems to be the thing that separates one design firm from another and still commands a premium because human beings made this, and we recognize that.” 2. Minimalism Lots of major brands have used minimalism to convey feelings of simplicity and sophistication. But a more colorful form of minimalism can produce a different design effect — bright, vibrant, and optimistic. This brasher form of minimalism, radically redefined from its black-and-white conventions, is becoming a trend. Today’s designers remove all unnecessary elements down to the basics, creating content that’s eye-catching and unflinching, blending futuristic aesthetics, bold fonts, and simple gradients. Still, some graphic designers are stepping away from the conventions of minimalism and turning toward maximalism. Gen Z, in particular, is a group that seems to be attracted toward bold maximalist designs. 3. Data visualization It can seem almost impossible to clearly communicate complicated data. Given the amount of information people are consuming constantly every day, it’s a challenge to make sure your brand conveys what it needs to and stands out. But skillful design can use or repackage information and tell a story in an elegant, easy-to-understand, and helpful way. Our brains are able to process visuals 60,000 times faster than text, and new trends in data visualization are showing that design techniques can succeed in getting consumers to stop and actually digest information. Besides simply grabbing the attention of consumers, data visualization is key to communicating authority and accountability without inundating consumers in pages and pages of data. Instead of just presenting numbers, designers are turning the data into a real story with infographics and other visualizations. With more advances in methods of data visualization to create a story and engage with the audience, many designers argue that the visual presentation is just as important as the information itself. 4. Natural and environmental-minded design People are increasingly paying attention to environmental issues and causes. As consumers’ concern about the earth grows, their appreciation for natural patterns and textures will grow as well. It’s no longer enough to simply add or integrate the color green into designs to hint at sustainability. To win the favor of eco-conscious customers, brands need to show their commitment to the environment through creative and original content in their designs. Nature-inspired visuals resonate with audience interests in the natural world, organic materials, conservation, and sustainability. Images of flowers and plants, wood textures and blue skies, and animal patterns like leopard and zebra prints are all popular nature motifs. Additionally, DIY styles, printed paper, and watercolor are becoming more in vogue for regular people and professional designers alike. 5. Representation and belonging The idea of representation and belonging covers gender, race, culture, ability, and accessibility. Also referred to as diversity, equity, and inclusion, this is increasingly about more than just showing or claiming representation, but actually engendering true feelings of belonging — welcoming different groups and communities and creating space for them. The push for greater representation and belonging extends far beyond the world of design, but within it, there is an increasing emphasis on depicting people of different ethnicities, genders, sexualities, ages, and abilities. In addition, the industry is starting to shift to a more representative talent pool and hiring with diversity in mind. But inclusivity also applies to the function of design — creating designs with accessibility in mind. This is a form of universal design, a topic that has seen enormous growth in search interest in recent years. As applied to graphic and web design, universal design considers those with disabilities, visual differences, and more. 6. Geometric shapes In 2023 we’ll likely see even more designs that take inspiration partly from the Bauhaus school — emphasizing geometric compositions, clean shapes, and bright primary colors. The appeal of this trend is in its simplicity. Geometric shapes are often the first we learn as children and they’reassociated with approachability. As consumer demand for transparency continues to grow, so too will designs with geometric shapes that are straightforward and direct. A good designer can do a lot with a little. As opposed to the comparatively limited visuals that more abstract shapes give, geometric ones are simple enough to be combined in myriad creative, compelling, and clear ways. 7. 3D design Although 3D design isn’t new, we’re likely to see a rise in the visual trend in the near future. This is largely because new technologies make rendering complex 3D elements and textures on web pages easier than ever. 3D can be applied across every discipline of design, from user interface to illustration. Whether in static or animated images, 3D brings a sense of realism to your designs, as though the brand — and its content — is jumping right at you. Hard to look away from, 3D offers a new dimension for graphic designers to work with. Additionally, in terms of employment, many industry insiders expect there will be a significant rise in hiring of graphic designers in computer-related designing and other electronic media fields. 8. Serif fonts As more and more tech companies in the 2000s adopted the clean, simple, and extremely readable appearance of sans serif, the serif font declined. But now, serif — the horizontal lines at the tops and bottoms of letters in fonts like Times New Roman — are coming back in style. The reason for the resurgence is seen to be down to the feelings of security and tradition that serif fonts evoke. As 70% of people say that trust is more important today than ever before, this shift in consumer behavior will likely produce a rise in imagery and design intended to build trust. Certain fonts like serif — which also conjures a sense of character and history that many other typefaces don’t convey — are able to have that effect. 9. Vibrant nostalgia In graphic design, retro has always been a bit trendy. And that’s no exception for 2023 and beyond. There will be a growing movement towards a vibrant, vintage aesthetic that references the 1970s, ‘80s and ‘90s, with psychedelic and retro-futurist touches that play on and juxtapose the old and the new, the familiar and the experimental. Many of next year’s designs will be bright and colorful, featuring bold gradients, using gritty textures, and relying on traditional fonts like serif. Nostalgia will always have a powerful emotional influence on branding. After the massive disruption of the COVID-19 pandemic, many people are still looking for familiar styles to serve as comfort. Like cyclical trends in fashion, art, music, and more, some design trends inevitably reemerge after a certain amount of time — and often with more engagement and interest than before, thanks to the nostalgia factor. “I think this will always persist because of a couple of different reasons,” Do says. “Whether you call it retro or vintage design, or something that's nostalgic, that reminds you of home. The reason why it connects is because, even if that was in our era, it quickly transports us back in time, and there's a feeling and a life there.” 10. AI visual image creation, AR, and new technologies You may have heard of the artificial intelligence (AI) tool called DALL-E that has astonished people with its ability to render text into realistic images and is now available to the public. Anyone can now use intuitive and unimaginably powerful AI tools to make incredible images. Some have raised concerns that the open-ended nature of AI systems and their ability to automate image-making means they could automate bias on a huge scale. They also have the potential to be used for nefarious purposes, like stoking fear or spreading disinformation via images that are altered or entirely fabricated with AI. There are DEI concerns — especially in regards to representation of people of color — related to AI, as well. Augmented reality (AR) is being touted as the other next big thing in technology, with many social media networks already maneuvering to adapt to it. AR is an experience where designers enhance parts of users' physical world with computer-generated input, allowing you to add virtual content to the real world. Like many other trends, AR brings the opportunity to tell a unique story through its design, and it’s a thrilling new prospect. “I don't remember who said it first, but we make the tools and the tools make us,” Do says. “So when we're on a machine, everything starts to look a certain way, because the tools make it easier to produce a certain kind of work. If you've grown up with digital tools, everything will start to look a certain way — clean, minimal, and very precise. And if you grew up in a time when analog tools were how you learned to express yourself, then you get into the happy accidents, the imperfections.” All tools can be used for good or bad reasons, effectively or ineffectively. “They’re just tools,” Do says. “Learn the tools, see what the potential is, and then decide for yourself. I think AI and machine learning are getting better every day,” and they have the potential to be as disruptive a power as the Internet was for society — and especially designers. “What I think is really cool, and what's probably driving trends more than anything else, is these software tools — because it becomes so easy to make something. It's the democratization of technology and the democratization of creativity, so that anybody, anywhere can design really beautiful things.” Try Adobe Express today. Now that you know a bit about the top design trends, you need to understand how to think like a designer, create the right processes, and find the best tools to bring your ideas to life. The graphic design lifecycle Despite Do’s aversion to discussing trends, he’s a font of knowledge when it comes to design process and concepts who’s more than happy to share his expertise. And everyone from students and casual creatives to small business owners and professional designers can benefit from his insights. The right environment Do says it all starts with setting up your environment to help foster creativity and get your artistic juices flowing. While in some ways that’s been difficult due to the coronavirus pandemic, in other ways the upheaval emphasized the importance of “how we are all connected and disconnected” and accelerated “the need for decentralization” in the workplace. “What we're finding out is this big, bad idea of letting people be more autonomous and not having to check in on people and micromanage them with a fear that we would be less productive — it’s wrong,” Do says. “People aren’t commuting anymore, they get to maximize their work time, they can have a better work-life balance, and I think that's 150% the catalyst for so many other positive things that happen because of the ripple effect.” When companies embrace work-from-home models and invest resources on their employees’ comfort and happiness, rather than on office buildings and maintenance, it benefits everyone — but especially creators. “One of the problems with working in a big office is uniformity,” Do says. “But at home you can do whatever you want to be the most productive person you can be, and I think that's a wonderful thing, especially if you're in the creative space.” But working from home doesn’t mean being shut off from the world around you. The impact and importance of what’s going on around you should inform the design experience. In addition to workplace changes, the past few years have seen massive political, cultural, and economic transformations — from COVID lockdowns and social justice movements to the war in Ukraine and a potential recession, as well as major elections and much more. All of those things influence creative design in big and small ways, Do says, amplifying emotions and communicating with other people. “We can use our artistry and our creativity to show our support or help amplify messages that we really believe in and resonate with,” Do says. “There's so much room for creative people to express their frustration, their sadness, their connectedness, their grieving, all those kinds of things, through the ways and tools they know best. And that's what I think we saw.” It’s essential to humanize design and create with intention. It’s all about communicating a message, Do says, and design helps you do that effectively — whether in new and trendy ways or classic and traditional ways. The right headspace It’s critical for designers to get in the right mindset to navigate creative blocks. Whether you’re a professional or a casual creative, there are techniques, tips, and tools to help you overcome challenges with ideation and skill. And it all starts, Do says, with writing things down. When you’re creating work that is genuine and authentic to who you are — and I mean not just your design preferences, but your whole story, your origin, your narrative, culture, and beliefs that filter through your creativity — I think you can't help but to stand out,” Do says. “One thing I've been much more aware of the last 10 years is the power of writing in words. I’m a classically trained, traditional graphic designer — I thought I chose that so I didn't have to write. But the people who stand out the most are able to articulate their thoughts.” Like the designer and artist Adam JK, Do says, pick up a pencil and sketch first. Sketching can save you time, organize your thoughts, and stimulate ideas. Use thumbnails to avoid getting into a design rut. And, like the illustrator and author Timothy Goodman, remember that content is king — your message is just as important as your final design. “It's so powerful to be able to combine your aesthetic and design sensibilities with your ideas,” Do says. “If we only limit ourselves to shapes and illustrations, then it's a more limited vocabulary. But when you're able to bring all those things together — the power of words, whether written or spoken with design, topography, and illustration — you're going to stand out if you have a point of view.” Make a habit of writing and journaling your ideas, Do says. Consume content, have a reaction, form your own opinion. “I find that when I read other people's ideas, it starts to spur my own thoughts. I take a moment to write down whatever it is I'm thinking, and sometimes those ideas go nowhere, but it's good to develop a reservoir of those things. So, as you're working on a project, you're like, Wait a minute, I have an opinion on this. “Writing is so important because when you write you gain clarity on your thinking — in our articulation we gain clarity and thought. We have to practice that. It's creative people who are used to just making shapes and moving forms around, but we’ve got to practice that writing thing.” The right technology When you’ve created the right environment and are in the right headspace, you still need the tools to bring your ideas to life. But it can’t be any tools — and it might not even be tools you already know how to use. Do uses the example of a hammer. “It’s usually used for building things, but it can also be used for breaking things, and it’s actually pretty effective at both,” he says. “So we need to learn how to use a hammer, what its purposes are, when to wield it and when to put it down. You know the expression — if the only tool we have is a hammer, then all problems look like nails. That means we have to diversify our toolset and to be conversant in everything else that’s happening.” Often, he says, the natural reaction is that all new technologies threaten existing ways of working and doing things, which produces a fear response. “What I want to do is encourage creative people, before you become afraid of something and formulate such concrete opinions, give it a chance,” Do says. “Try it out, explore, poke, break it, keep an open mind, and see what things can do. Those that seem to be able to capture the opportunities and create wealth and capital for themselves, are almost always on the edge of what is now vs. what is about to come. “They explore and push, and because there's little competition and lots of interest, they rise above everyone else, above the noise, and that’s what I encourage people to do.” Do explains the “trap” that creative people sometimes get into. “We start to think, I can't do something because of this reason or that, instead of asking, What can I do with what I have in the time that I have? Creativity isn't having all the toys,” he says, “but making the most out of what you have. Now designers don't have excuses anymore, because there are so many great tools that are available to us, many of which are free.” Get Adobe Express free. How to think like a designer Too often, design is flat and current mediums for communication are mundane, Do says. The goal should be to make the design experience feel more, well, experiential. Today’s brands need to hybridize their designs — for example using spatial audio or creating social posts with video and graphics for a mixed-media experience. “There are so many web-based tools that don't even require a workstation anymore for you to create,” Do says. “You have tools like Adobe Express where you can use templates and have access to typefaces you don't have to buy. That’s incredible. “How do we open ourselves up to be more curious and receptive to possible change that can actually benefit us? We have to let go of preconceptions we might have. The initial reaction to new technology is usually to resist and say I don't want to do that. But then I start playing around with these tools and it’s like, Wow, these are purpose built, there's access to images, there's a smart search engine. Someone has gone through the work of labeling and tagging every single image and asset that I never have time to do.” Knowing design trends is useful, but casual creatives, business owners, marketers, and others need to understand how to leverage those trends effectively and apply them to their own brand to produce beautiful, professional-quality content — even if they don’t have much experience. “I'm even starting to rethink how I want to create things like social posts,” Do says. “So now, when somebody comes to me and says, ‘We need to create something that's beautiful and feels tailored to us, but we need to do it on the fly wherever we are in the world,’ I tell them, just use Adobe Express. “Let go of your old ideas of how you used to make things, and you'll find it's really easy and really, really powerful. Especially if you don't have a lot of time or you don't have a lot of knowledge, you click a few buttons and you can put together something really beautiful.”	2022-12-22T00:00:00		https://www.adobe.com/express/learn/blog/graphic-design-trends	[ { "date": "2022/12/22", "position": 33, "query": "AI graphic design" } ]

An AI's Advice on Developing Leadership Skills	An AI’s Advice on Developing Leadership Skills	https://insight.ieeeusa.org	[ "Julian Mercer" ]	What can we learn about leadership skills from an AI chatbot, and what could we do to make that advice better, in terms of content, delivery or application?	As an executive and manager in the twilight of a 30+ year career, I have enjoyed sharing my knowledge and experience with others as a writer. Part of being effective in your job, whatever it may be, is to stay on top of technology trends, and so I’ve been experimenting with ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence beta based on the OpenAI.com platform Since much of my communications focus is on leadership and management, I started out by asking a simple question: Can you provide me with some useful tips on developing leadership skills? The following is ChatGPT’s response: Understand what it means to be a leader. Leadership is about more than just having a job title or being in charge of a team. It’s about inspiring and motivating others to work towards a common goal and being able to communicate a clear vision and strategy. Be willing to take risks and make decisions. Leaders are often called upon to make difficult decisions, and sometimes those decisions involve taking risks. It’s important to be willing to make decisions and to stand by them, even if they don’t always turn out as planned. Focus on developing your communication skills. Effective leaders are able to communicate clearly and concisely, both in writing and in person. This means being able to listen to others, to provide constructive feedback, and to present information in a way that is easy for others to understand. Be open to feedback and willing to learn. No one is perfect, and even the best leaders have room for improvement. It’s important to be open to feedback from others and to be willing to learn from your mistakes. This means being willing to listen to others and to take their perspectives into account when making decisions. Practice empathy and emotional intelligence. Being able to understand and relate to others is a key part of being a good leader. This means being able to recognize and understand the emotions of those around you, and to use that understanding to guide your decisions and actions. Of course, these are just a few suggestions, and there are many other ways to develop leadership skills. The most important thing is to be willing to learn and to always strive to improve. The ChatGPT response makes the same points I would emphasize if writing on the same topic, with the added virtue of being more concise than my typical offering, making it easier to digest. The machines have won, it seems, at least with respect to generating credible written advice. The challenge, as always, is applying that advice to real life. One limitation to ChatGPT is that it is not linked to the Internet as a source of data but relies on a body of information collected before 2021. So it is not able to speculate on future trends in leadership development. Or is it? I tested that assumption by asking the question, what new trends are changing the development of leadership skills? This was the response: One of the key trends that is changing the development of leadership skills is the increasing emphasis on emotional intelligence and empathy. In the past, leadership was often seen as being more about technical skills and expertise, but today there is a growing recognition of the importance of being able to understand and relate to others. This has led to a focus on developing skills such as empathy, emotional intelligence, and communication, which are seen as essential for effective leadership. Another trend that is changing the development of leadership skills is the increasing use of technology and automation. As technology continues to advance, many tasks and processes that were once performed by humans are being automated, which means that leaders need to be able to adapt and to develop new skills in order to stay relevant. This is leading to a greater emphasis on developing skills such as problem-solving, critical thinking, and creativity, which are seen as essential for leaders who want to stay ahead of the curve. Finally, the increasing pace of change and uncertainty in the business world is also having an impact on the development of leadership skills. In this environment, leaders need to be able to adapt quickly and to be able to make decisions with incomplete information. This is leading to a focus on developing skills such as adaptability, resilience, and strategic thinking, which are seen as essential for leaders who want to succeed in this dynamic environment. Again, right on point and good advice. But it occurred to me a question about trends is not the same as asking ChatGPT to make a prediction about an uncertain future, so I asked ChatGPT if it could predict the future of leadership development, and got this response: I’m sorry, but I am not able to predict the future. As a large language model trained by OpenAI, I am not able to access external information or to browse the internet. I can only provide answers based on the information I have been trained on, which includes general knowledge about a wide variety of topics. My ability to answer questions is limited to what I have been trained on, and I do not have the ability to make predictions or to provide information on events that have not yet occurred. So it seems that there is still room for humans who can take information leavened with experience and apply it to predicting future opportunities and challenges and the direction that things are headed. At least until AI is trained on predictive skills (which I’m sure is a work in progress). Which prompted one final question, asking ChatGPT if it could provide any tips for developing predictive skills: Start by gathering as much information as possible. The more information you have about a situation, the better you will be able to make predictions. This means doing research, gathering data, and seeking out different perspectives and viewpoints. Look for patterns and trends. Many predictions are based on identifying patterns and trends in data or in the behavior of people or systems. By looking for these patterns, you can often make educated guesses about what is likely to happen in the future. Consider different scenarios. When making predictions, it can be helpful to consider a range of different scenarios and to think about how each one might play out. This can help you to identify potential risks and opportunities and to make more informed decisions. Be open to new information and be willing to change your predictions. The world is constantly changing, and new information can sometimes alter the course of events. It’s important to be open to new information and to be willing to revise your predictions if necessary. Practice, practice, practice. As with any skill, the more you practice, the better you will become at making predictions. So, don’t be afraid to try your hand at making predictions, even if you don’t always get it right. Over time, you will develop your skills and become better at making accurate predictions. More sage advice from an AI. Which leaves me pondering, what could I do to make that advice better, in terms of content, delivery or application. Not a bad question for an aspiring writer concerned about future AI-based competitors to ask.	2022-12-22T00:00:00	2022/12/22	https://insight.ieeeusa.org/articles/an-ais-advice-on-developing-leadership-skills/	[ { "date": "2022/12/22", "position": 15, "query": "artificial intelligence business leaders" } ]

How is AI is being used in the hiring process? \| World Economic Forum	These are the flaws of AI in hiring and how to tackle them	https://www.weforum.org	[ "This Article Is Published In Collaboration With" ]	So how do candidates dodge problematic AI hiring tools? For many workers, the holiday season will hold career uncertainty after they or ...	Companies are increasingly recruiting staff using AI-based algorithms, but this can introduce bias and perpetuate disparities in hiring, research has shown. AI systems that measure personality can lack reliability and be integrated into hiring without the knowledge of recruiters or applicants, an expert warns. Until these tools are better regulated, job seekers need strategies to pass through AI-powered processes, such as using the technology to screen their resumes before sending, she says. So how do candidates dodge problematic AI hiring tools? For many workers, the holiday season will hold career uncertainty after they or someone in their life has been laid off. Companies like Meta, Amazon, and more have cut thousands of staffers—and the list is growing. One recent report by Joblist on workers found that nearly a quarter of employed American job seekers say they or someone they know has been impacted by layoffs this year. If you’re in search of a new job, you may encounter one emerging way companies are recruiting and hiring: AI-based algorithms. And experts point out that it’s not always clear how these algorithms influence the process. “Thanks to AI, hiring is undergoing a quiet, yet earth-shaking revolution. Many Fortune 500 companies employ AI-based solutions to weed through the millions of job applications the companies receive every year,” researchers from NYU Tandon wrote in a recent project. “The problem: many companies don’t want to reveal what technology they are using, and vendors don’t want to reveal what’s in the black box, despite evidence that some automated decision making systems make biased or arbitrary decisions.” Their argument: hiring algorithms, and the companies that use them, need to be held accountable. Beyond being opaque, algorithms have been shown to introduce bias and perpetuate disparities in hiring. But regulation is on the way. In 2023, a New York City law restricting the use of AI tools in the hiring process will go into effect—although it’s still unclear how regulators will be able to enforce it. Why do companies use hiring algorithms? Mona Sloane, a senior research scientist at the NYU Center for Responsible AI who worked on the project, says companies rely on automated decision systems for two reasons: to analyze a large volume of applicants, or to find workers with a niche skill set or level of experience. Employers looking to fill internship, sales, or service industry jobs, for example, turn to algorithms to narrow down the pool of candidates. But for niche roles in tech like software engineers, machine learning engineers and data scientists, for example, companies may use automated decision systems to find these workers and reach out to them even if they’re not actively looking for a job. Ultimately, employers are notoriously risk-averse, says Denise Rousseau, professor of organizational behavior and public policy at Carnegie Mellon University. Often, they’re looking for any reason to disqualify candidates—including long stretches of unemployment—as they narrow their options. The flaws of AI hiring In a new paper, Sloane recently found that AI systems built to measure personality were not reliable testing instruments. And while not all companies use personality assessment tools in their hiring processes, she’s particularly concerned about when tools are integrated into hiring without the knowledge of recruiters or applicants. If human resource teams and job seekers don’t know how AI technology is affecting the evaluation process, the algorithm could be amplifying bias and discriminatory practices without anyone noticing at first, Sloane says. And the applicants seeking jobs will ultimately suffer for it. “Right now, candidates don’t have knowledge and they don’t have recourse. And the thing is that recruiters don’t even know why certain candidates are on page one of the ranking, or why certain people are on page ten of the ranking when they search for candidates,” Sloane says. “So there is just a whole lot of transparency around this that has delayed developing mechanisms for the recourse.” Thankfully, Sloane said she’s had conversations with regulators across the local, state, federal and international levels regarding how to regulate these algorithms. And new laws like New York City’s have her hopeful. International regulation may also be on the way: she points to a European Union proposal that could also limit the use of AI technology. How to tackle hiring algorithms as a job candidate But until these tools are better regulated, job seekers need strategies to pass through AI-powered processes. Sloane suggests techniques informed by AI itself to help optimize for hiring algorithms. For one, submit a simplified version of your résumé, with straightforward design and text, so an AI can interpret it accurately. You can consider making multiple versions of résumés for both AI and human review. And using software like Jobscan and VMock can help check and enhance your résumé for AI, all before you submit. If your résumé is in danger of being screened out—like if it shows long gaps in employment—another solution is to make yourself as a candidate look as productive as possible, like continuing your education or picking up microcredentials. And as legislators work through how to regulate emerging hiring tech properly, both Sloane and Rousseau recommended connecting with employees at the company where job seekers are seeking an interview. For employers reviewing applications, knowing that an applicant has a connection to the company might indicate that they have a better understanding of how it works, Rousseau says. Applying for a job can be overwhelming—even without algorithms in the way. But while lawmakers work out how to regulate this technology, job seekers and recruiters should know the limitations of tech-enabled hiring, and bring people back in to correct its shortcomings.	2022-12-22T00:00:00		https://www.weforum.org/stories/2022/12/ai-hiring-tackle-algorithms-employment-job/	[ { "date": "2022/12/22", "position": 49, "query": "artificial intelligence hiring" } ]

Ethical ...	Artificial Intelligence Definition Artificial intelligence (AI) is a field of computer science and engineering focused on the creation of intelligent machines that can work and learn like humans. AI systems are designed to perform tasks that typically require human-like intelligence, such as learning, problem-solving, decision-making, and pattern recognition. There are several different approaches to creating AI systems, including machine learning, which involves training a system on a large dataset and allowing it to learn patterns and make decisions based on that training, and rule-based systems, which use a set of pre-defined rules to guide the system's actions. AI systems are used in a variety of applications, including natural language processing, image and speech recognition, and autonomous vehicles. Some AI systems are designed to augment human capabilities, while others are intended to replace human labor in certain tasks.

History of artificial intelligence The concept of artificial intelligence dates back to the 1950s, when researchers began exploring the possibility of creating intelligent machines that could perform tasks that typically require human-like intelligence. One of the earliest definitions of artificial intelligence was proposed by computer scientist John McCarthy in 1956, who defined it as "the science and engineering of making intelligent machines." In the 1960s and 1970s, AI research focused on creating systems that could perform specific tasks, such as playing chess or solving mathematical problems. These early AI systems were often referred to as "expert systems" because they were designed to perform a specific task with a level of expertise similar to that of a human expert. In the 1980s and 1990s, AI research shifted towards the development of machine learning algorithms, which allowed systems to learn from data and improve their performance over time. This led to the creation of a new subfield of AI called "deep learning," which involves training large neural networks on massive datasets.

Applying for Jobs But Getting Rejected? How to Get Past ...	Applying for Jobs But Getting Rejected? How to Get Past the AI	https://scottambler.com	[ "Scott Ambler", "Posted By", "Larry O Brien", "Valentin Tudor Mocanu" ]	To be considered for a job you need to write an effective resume, recognize that AI is likely being used to screen resumes, and apply AI to beat the AI.	Applying for Jobs But Getting Rejected? How to Get Past the AI We all hear about how desperate organizations are to hire people, how the unemployment rate is at an all-time low, and how the market now favours people looking for work. Yet some of us, who would be great hires, find that our resumes get rejected over and over again. In many cases these resumes are getting rejected by artificial intelligence (AI)-based screening technology that is in common use by employers. This post provides a three-step process for increasing the chance that your resume/curriculum vitae (CV) will make it through the AI gauntlet to the human decision makers. 1. You Need to Write a Good Resume Before we lay the blame on our future AI overlords, we need to recognize that we need a well-written resume. Here’s my advice: Be clear. Your resume should describe your relevant job experience and background in an understandable and unambiguous manner. Don’t force the reader, either people or AIs, to guess what you’re trying to get at. Tailor your resume to the specific job ad. If you want the job, then spend a bit of time tailoring your resume to ensure that it addresses at least some of the key requirements of the job. In most cases you don’t need to fulfill all of the requirements, particularly if the job ad provides a laundry list of potential skills, but you do need to match some of them. A simple update can be to use the same terminology advertisement uses. For example, they may use the term Senior Scrum Master whereas you prefer Agile Project Manager. You may be right, or not, but it would behoove you to weave the term Senior Scrum Master into your resume and thereby increase your odds of acceptance. Be honest. Although tailored, your resume must still be accurate. Playing up the value of your past experiences is one thing, claiming that you did something or were responsible for something that you had nothing to do with is another. Ensure that it can be quickly read. People will want to quickly scan a resume to first identify if you might be a good fit, so make it easy to identify your main points. For example, look at the style that I’m using in this list. Each key point that I make is concise, action oriented, and presented in bold. You can scan the list quickly and get the gist of it, and then determine for yourself if you want to read the detailed description behind a given point. And yes, this is important: A 2018 eye-tracking study by Ladders Inc. found that recruiters spent on average 7.4 seconds doing an initial read of a resume before moving on to the next one. Ensure your resume is AI-readable. Screening performed by the AI will likely focus on the text, so you don’t want to rely on graphical images. A few months ago a friend of mine asked me to review his resume because it was being rejected for jobs that he was clearly well-suited for. What he had done was list his certifications, which were critical requirements for the jobs he was applying for, as graphical logos/badges. That section looked great to humans, but it likely wasn’t being processed by the AIs. As a result the AIs didn’t recognize his certifications and were likely rejecting him for not being qualified. Get help. Ask your friends and family, and better yet people in hiring positions for the types of jobs your looking for, to review your resume. There are also online services, discussed below, to consider. NOTE: This is not an open invitation for people to send me their resumes unless they are friends or known colleagues, my apology. 2. Recognize Where Artificial Intelligence (AI) is Applied in the Hiring/Recruitment Process When organizations post an advertisement for a job they are likely to get dozens, and often hundreds, of resumes submitted for the position. It often simply isn’t possible to process all of these resumes by hand, or more accurately employers are choosing not to do so manually, so the resumes are scanned into an Applicant Tracking System (ATS). The ATS market in 2021 was $2.14 billion USD, growing at a compounded rate of 6.2% a year. Increasingly, an important feature of these ATS are AI-based screening software. The idea is to narrow down the multitude of applications received to a handful of candidates that are then considered for potential interviews. This process is depicted in the following diagram. In this case your resume (or CV, or application) is potentially queued up (although in many cases these days processed immediately) for processing by an AI screener. The AI screener compares the contexts of your resume – and optionally other information gathered about you from online sources such as social media, financial institutions, and law enforcement – with the needs of the job. Based on the criteria set by the employer, it makes a determination whether the resume represents a likely candidate to be considered for an interview. Otherwise, the resume is rejected and the candidate (hopefully) informed of the rejection. Interestingly, if you receive a rejection fairly quickly, say within a few hours or a day, it may be a sign that an AI screened it out of consideration. In addition to initial screening of applicants, AI is commonly used to automate other aspects of the hiring process: Automated communication. Much of the straightforward communication with potential candidates can be dealt with via technology. Automated email responses have been in place since the 1990s in some cases, and for the past few years chatbot technology has been applied. Although the chatbot AIs have struggled with complex interactions up until now, we’re seeing very interesting results with chatbot technology. Generative AI like ChatGPT should thrive in a domain like recruitment where the types of conversations are much narrower. Candidate sourcing. AI technology is being used to identify potential candidates for a job so that employers can reach out to likely candidates rather than wait for candidates to apply. This is how many of the “free” resume review platforms, discussed below, make money. You submit your resume for review and then they include it for consideration for their customers who are looking for potential hires. And of course there are professional job platforms, such as LinkedIn, that put candidates and employers together. Interview scheduling. AI technology can be used to schedule interviews with potential candidates. You may think that you’re emailing back and forth with a person to schedule the interview, but these days can you really be sure? More importantly, does it matter? 3. Apply AI to Beat The AI The idea is that you use resume review services that put your resume through the same sort of AI-based screening technology to help you to improve your resume. The following diagram depicts how this works. You first work with the resume review service to improve your resume. You submit it to the service and you’re given feedback that you act on to improve your resume. You may need iterate through this process a few times until you get to the point that you’re willing to submit your resume to the potential employer. The goal is to increase the chance that your resume makes it past the AI screening software and into the smaller queue of resumes that are then considered for the position you are applying for. There are many “free” services that you can work with, such as TopResume and Ladders, that can easily be found via a simple search. I put the word free in quotes because you are likely to be bombarded with job ads after you’ve submitted your resume because they’re usually offering candidate sourcing services to potential employers as I mentioned above. Some people consider this to be a huge benefit because it helps them to identify a greater range of job openings. Another option is to use a paid service, such as Jobscan. The great thing about this site is that you submit your resume and the job advertisement and it gives you specific advice to improve your resume for that job. A friend of mine used this service recently and he described it as a life-changing experience. Once again, you can find these sites via a simple search. In short, use your AI to beat their AI. Some organizations will even provide you with advice for how to format your resume, or even go so far as to provide a documentation template, so as to increase its compatibility with their ATS software. They’re doing their best to help you to be successful, so accept that help. Parting Words I hope that this blog post has given you some food for thought. Remember, your resume gets you the interview. It will be how you do in the interview(s) that get you the job. I wish you the best of luck.

OpenAI, DeepMind, C3AI, & IBM: AI/ML Salaries & Negotiations	A Comprehensive Guide to Artificial Intelligence	https://www.teamrora.com	[]	Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (which we'll refer to as AI/ML) is a rapidly growing field — with tons of demand for talented engineers.	Table of Contents Technical Roles Before talking about compensation and the negotiation process in the AI/ML industry, it’s important to briefly level-set which roles Machine Learning companies tend to recruit for. The most prominent players in the space - such as C3ai, DeepMind, Facebook (Meta), Google, IBM, and OpenAI - most commonly hire for these three roles: Machine Learning Engineer: Responsible for designing, building, and deploying machine learning models and systems. ML Engineers may also be involved in managing the infrastructure and resources needed to support the machine learning process, as well as the deployment and maintenance of machine learning systems in production environments. Applied Scientist: Often works closely with domain experts to understand the problem or challenge the organization is looking for AI/ML to address and determine the best solution. Applied Scientists may also communicate their work results to stakeholders, including technical and non-technical audiences. Research Scientist: Investigate and conduct original research in machine learning. They use data mining, statistical analysis, and machine learning algorithms to explore and understand complex datasets, identify patterns and relationships within the data, and generate new insights and knowledge. The recruiting and negotiation process is quite similar across all three roles so - in this article - we will use the term Machine Learning Engineer interchangeably with Applied Scientist and Research Scientist for simplicities sake. Compensation Structure for Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning Roles Base Salary and Bonus Like most other roles, base salaries for ML roles can vary depending on various factors, such as size, location, and industry. However, overall, Machine Learning roles tend to command high salaries due to the specialized nature of the work and the high demand for skilled professionals in this field. For example, an ML engineer at Facebook can make around 5-7% more than a software engineer at the same level (keeping other factors constant). Annual bonuses are another component that can be coupled with the base salary. The annual bonus is usually non-negotiable and highly subjective to the company you are applying to. For example, Google has a baseline 15% annual performance bonus for an L5 ML Engineer, while Amazon will not have an annual performance bonus for an ML role at the same level. Equity Working in AI means you’ll likely be at a tech company — either a startup or a more established firm — where equity will be a meaningful part of your compensation. The RSU bands are wide at most prominent tech companies for Machine Learning Engineers; again, they pay higher than most other roles from the get-go. Most large-cap tech companies have a traditional vesting structure with an initial equity grant that vests in equal installments over four years. As an example - if you are granted $800K in RSUs, you will receive: Year 1: 25% ($200K) Year 2: 25% ($200K) Year 3: 25% ($200K) Year 4: 25% ($200K) Signing Bonus We often see Machine Learning offers include a signing bonus from the get-go to sweeten the deal. And - it’s often possible to increase the signing bonus substantially (this is where having leverage helps!). For example, the top-of-band sign-on bonus for an L5 Machine Learning Engineer at Facebook in a Tier 1 location (Bay Area, New York) is $100,000. However, not all Machine Learning offers include a signing bonus by default. It's a common recruiter trick to leave a signing bonus out of the initial offer so they can add it as part of the negotiation (and avoid increasing the base or equity, which could require more senior-level approval). Some recruiters have claimed that the company does not offer sign-on bonuses, which isn’t always the case. Recruiters at DeepMind and OpenAI will not initially include a sign-on bonus. Instead, a sign-on bonus is often added when specific leverage/information is shared with them. Most companies will reserve the right to “claw back” a portion of your signing bonus if you leave before the 1-year mark. This is normal for major tech companies, commonly only requiring you to repay the pro-rata amount — for example, if you leave after ten months, you would need to pay 2/12 of your signing bonus back. Above-Band Offers Most companies have the flexibility to give above-band compensation for senior roles, but this often requires a complex and lengthy negotiation. At Rora, we’ve successfully negotiated multiple above-band offers. In a few situations, the candidate needed executive approval to increase the offer. For example, the top band total compensation (base salary + annual bonus + signing bonus + equity) for an L5 Machine Learning Engineer at Facebook in the Bay Area is ~$441k per year; however, for one candidate, we were able to successfully negotiate a total compensation of ~$503k per year. Differences between ML and Software Engineer Negotiations Technical Differences While Software and Machine Learning Engineers are both involved in developing and implementing technology solutions, some critical differences exist in the specific tasks and skills for each role. One of the main differences is the focus of each field. Software Engineers primarily design, develop, and maintain software systems and applications. This can include writing code, testing and debugging software, and working with teams to design and implement software solutions. On the other hand, ML Engineers focus on developing and implementing machine learning models and algorithms. This can involve training and fine-tuning machine learning models, working with large datasets, and deploying machine learning systems in production environments. Machine Learning Engineers often have strong computer science and mathematics backgrounds and experience with machine learning frameworks and libraries. Another key difference is the tools and technologies used in each field. Depending on the project's specific requirements, software engineers typically work with various programming languages and tools. This can include languages such as Java, Python, and C++ and tools for version control, debugging, and testing. On the other hand, Machine Learning Engineers often work with specialized tools and technologies designed for machine learning. This can include machine learning frameworks such as TensorFlow and PyTorch and tools for working with large datasets and deploying machine learning models in production environments. Machine learning engineers may also use languages such as Python and R, which strongly focus on data analysis and scientific computing. Compensation Differences While Software Engineering and Machine Learning Engineering are both rewarding careers with plenty of growth opportunities and substantial pay, the high demand and specialized skills required for Machine Learning Engineering can result in significantly higher compensation. According to our data, Machine Learning Engineers earn about 20% more than software engineers. Base Salary Equity over 4 years ($) Annual Bonus Signing Bonus Software Engineer $200-210K $700-800K 15% $50-100K Machine Learning Engineer $205-220K $800-900K 15% $50-100K ‍ There are several reasons for this significant difference in compensation: Demand is Booming One reason is the high demand for Machine Learning Engineers, as machine learning has started to play a much bigger role in many sectors, from software to manufacturing to retail. Within the tech industry, the bounds of machine learning are continually being stretched. As more applications need real-time or almost real-time conclusions, the complexity of machine learning models and systems engineering has increased. At the same time, workplace access to 'off-the-shelf' machine learning software has increased. Machine Learning Engineers are in high demand due to both of these processes. This high demand has increased salaries for these professionals, as companies are willing to pay a premium to attract and retain top talent. The demand for Machine Learning Engineers is already high and is only anticipated to expand as machine learning becomes more advanced and widely available. This growth also impacts the future of roles outside of Machine Learning Engineers. Mike Roberts, Vice President of AI and Machine Learning at Hypergiant, an enterprise AI startup, has mentioned that the demand for Data Scientists increases as Machine Learning complexity rises (BuiltIn). According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, this is precisely the case, which estimates that demand for Data Scientists would see 22% growth by 2030. Although Data Scientists don’t get compensated the same as Machine Learning engineers, we expect to see an uptick in Data Scientist compensation as demand increases. Educational Requirements Another factor to consider is the level of education and experience required for each field. Machine Learning Engineers often have more advanced degrees, such as a Master's or Ph.D. in machine learning or a related field. This higher level of education can also lead to higher pay — as there’s a higher bar required to get into the field. Compensation Varies by Industry Additionally, the specific industry in which a Software Engineer or Machine Learning Engineer works can also impact their salary. For example, Machine Learning Engineers in the finance or healthcare industries may earn higher salaries due to their work's sensitive and complex nature. Negotiating a Machine Learning Job Offer Before preparing for a negotiation, make sure you have a good understanding of both your financial and career goals. This will help you decide what you should be asking for and make you better prepared to negotiate effectively. For example, if you hope to save a certain amount of money each month or save for a specific goal, you should make sure the salary you are negotiating will help you get there. This may mean you ask for more salary instead of a non-cash benefit like equity. Having a clear goal of what an increase in pay will help you achieve will help you feel more confident to make your ask. If you haven’t yet received an offer, here are a few things to consider during the interview process: Do not share your current compensation. In many states (e.g., California), it is illegal for companies to ask for this. If a recruiter asks you, you can say, "I don’t feel comfortable sharing that information." We do not recommend sharing your compensation expectations before receiving an offer. Most companies will pay very competitively and will be willing to negotiate after giving an initial offer. If you choose to throw out a high number when asked, that will increase the chance you are required to provide proof of a competing offer. Instead, if you’re asked for your pay expectations, we recommend you reply with, "I'm focused on the interview process and still doing my research on market data. I am very confident that we will be able to get to a number that works for both of us." Negotiating a salary, equity, and signing bonus for a Machine Learning position can be a daunting task. Still, with the proper knowledge and preparation, you can increase your chances of securing a fair and competitive offer. We recommend you: Research the market: Before beginning negotiations, it's essential to understand the current market for machine learning professionals. This will give you a better idea of what to expect regarding salary and benefits and help you understand what other companies offer similar positions. Aipaygrad.es is a great resource (and a partner of Rora’s). We also have thousands of data points from negotiations we’ve supported and up-to-date data on how the market is trending. Understand your value: As a Machine Learning professional, you bring unique skills and expertise to the table. It's essential to understand the value of your skills and experience and to articulate this value to potential employers during negotiations. Asking your recruiter/hiring manager questions about the scope of the role and responsibilities is a great way to understand how companies like OpenAI, DeepMind, and IBM are valuing you. This will help you negotiate a salary that reflects your worth and the value you can bring to the company. A few great questions to ask are: What are some of the challenges and opportunities the team is currently facing? How does that translate into initiatives for the team? What are the main KPIs for the team this year? What are the major projects the team is working on this year? Remember you can walk away: Given the long process it often takes to secure a job offer, it can be tempting to sign the first offer you get. However - if negotiations aren’t going well and you’re not excited about the offer you’re receiving, it can be worth considering walking away. Your skills are in demand and - more than likely - you’re a few weeks away from a better, higher offer that better reflects your value and skills. Try to see if the company will go above the band: Since the demand for Machine Learning Engineers is high, many companies will go above their standard pay band to get the right candidate to join. We have successfully secured above-band offers from Google, Facebook, and Amazon. Having another offer or even speaking to another company can create some leverage when making your counter-offer. Additionally, we have seen that being patient and slowly moving through the negotiation can help make the company wonder if you’re considering other opportunities. Ask for specific yearly compensation:We have found that being clear in your request is very important since it communicates confidence and implies that you have deeply thought about your market value. To show some flexibility in your ask, you can ask for a total compensation number instead of mentioning a specific breakdown of base, equity, and signing bonus you want to see. This gives AI employers (such as DeepMind, OpenAI, and IBM) a chance to figure out how to meet your request using a combination of base, bonus, and equity. However, this is where expertise in negotiating is crucial. Remember to make sure what you’re asking for is above-band to make sure you’re maximizing the offer! Ask for support from the hiring manager: Having a great relationship with your hiring manager is critical for a successful negotiation — and, more broadly, ensuring that you’re being set up for success within the company. If your hiring manager is disrespectful or not supportive during the negotiation, how can you expect them to advocate for interesting projects for you to work on, or for you to get a promotion in a year or two? Often, during negotiations, we help candidates speak with their hiring manager about expectations for the role and the impact they hope to drive. This can be helpful for ensuring that the hiring manager is 1. someone you want to work with and 2. excited for you to join. Once you know you have their support, you’ll have more confidence going back to the recruiter to make an ask for higher compensation. Overall, negotiating a machine learning offer requires research, preparation, and the ability to communicate your value. Negotiation Framework: An Ishikawa diagram helps us understand our current leverage and effectively visualizes complex problems such as negotiating compensation. ‍ AI/ML Negotiation Tactics Employers commonly use a handful of sneaky tactics to help pull the negotiation in their favor — and it’s important to be aware of them to avoid being taken advantage of. The most common tactics include putting time pressure on you with an exploding deadline, mentioning that the initial offer is non-negotiable (even though it is!), selling you on company growth and saying that your equity value will increase substantially, and promising to revisit pay in the near future. Some of the most common negotiation strategies that we use in rebuttal are: Putting pressure on the employer – Employers are often pressured to fill a position quickly. You can use this to your advantage by pressing them to offer you a higher salary by saying “I know you’re trying to wrap up the negotiation - here’s what I’d need to sign.” – Employers are often pressured to fill a position quickly. You can use this to your advantage by pressing them to offer you a higher salary by saying “I know you’re trying to wrap up the negotiation - here’s what I’d need to sign.” Standing in a stronger position – If you have a competing job offer (or are currently employed), you are in a stronger negotiating position. You can use this to your advantage by asking what you want regarding salary, benefits, and equity. – If you have a competing job offer (or are currently employed), you are in a stronger negotiating position. You can use this to your advantage by asking what you want regarding salary, benefits, and equity. Sharing outside information – You can also use outside information to strengthen your position. For example, you could talk with a competitor about the compensation they might be offering. Recruiters can be great resources for this information, too! As the AI/ML industry grows we’ll see more and more companies look to recruit ML Engineers. Understanding how ML Engineer compensation typically works — and negotiating the offers you receive is incredibly important — not just to ensure you’re earning competitive pay, but also to ensure you understand the dynamics of the company you’re joining and are being set up for success within the role.	2022-12-23T00:00:00		https://www.teamrora.com/post/aiml-salary-negotiation	[ { "date": "2022/12/23", "position": 13, "query": "machine learning job market" } ]

In either case, knowing how to answer some of the common interview questions related to the topic will provide you an edge over your competitors. 1. Tell Me the Most Common Uses of AI. Artificial intelligence has many real-life uses and applications, some of these include: Social Media: The most common application of AI in social media is facial detection and verification. Additionally, AI and machine learning (ML) technologies are used to design the social media feed. Customized Online Shopping: Online stores utilize AI-driven algorithms to curate lists of recommended purchases for improved customer experiences. These lists are usually compiled for users based on information like search history and recent orders. Agriculture: Technologies such as embedded AI systems are revolutionizing the agricultural sector. Using these systems, farmers can now protect their crops from various adversities like weather, weeds, pests, and fluctuating prices. Smart cars: Smart automobiles are yet another example of how AI is used in everyday life. When an automobile is in autopilot mode, AI uses radar, camera, and GPS data to steer the vehicle. Healthcare: From sophisticated testing to making medical recommendations, doctors are now trusting AI capabilities to improve the quality of patient care. 2. What is Deep Learning and How Does it Affect AI? Deep learning is a subset of machine learning or ML. It involves deep neural networks, which are fundamentally layers of neural networks placed on top of one another. Deep learning in AI enables machines to resolve complex problems related to a diverse, unstructured, and interconnected data set faster. By allowing the software to train itself to carry out operations like speech and image recognition, deep learning exposes machines to huge volumes of data for continuous improvement in their ability to process information. 3. What are Neural Networks and How do They Relate to AI? Neural networks are a subset of ML algorithms. These network structures are designed just like a human brain. The neuron part of the neural is the computational component and the network part is the way the neurons are interconnected. As the data travels through neural networks, it gains more and more significance. The interconnected neural networks enable machines to process complex data effectively. 4. Tell Me the Difference Between Supervised and Unsupervised Learning. Supervised learning is an ML process in which outputs are fed back into a computer so that the software can learn from them and provide more accurate results in the future. The computer is initially trained using the supervised learning method. On the other hand, with unsupervised learning, a computer will learn new information without any initial training to support its knowledge. 5. Tell Me the Importance of Machine Learning in AI. Both terms are widely used yet frequently misinterpreted. Artificial intelligence is a technique that enables machines to mimic human thought and behavior. Machine learning is a subcategory of AI. It is the science of enabling computers to perform actions by providing them with data to process and by letting them self-learn without being explicitly programmed to do so. Therefore, ML offers important algorithms which are used to implement AI technology in real-world systems and applications. 6. Tell Me the Purpose of TensorFlow. The Google Brain team, a deep learning research team under GoogleAI, originally created an open-source software library known as TensorFlow to use in ML and neural network research. Its primary purpose is to assist in data-flow programming. Natural language processing and speech recognition are two AI features that are significantly easier to incorporate into applications using TensorFlow. 7. Tell Me About the Constraint Satisfaction Problem. Mathematical problems known as constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) consist of a collection of objects whose current state must satisfy a number of constraints. The regularity of CSP formulation provides a commonality for problem analysis and solutions, making CSPs beneficial for use in AI. 8. Tell Me About the Role of Intelligent Agents in AI. Intelligent agents are autonomous entities that employ sensors to monitor their environment and use actuators to perform their tasks and achieve goals. They may be simple or complex and can be programmed to learn how to perform tasks more efficiently. 9. AI Doesn’t Need Humans. Is This True? One common misconception regarding artificial intelligence is that it will replace humans. While it may happen that, in the near future, AI capabilities will match or even surpass human intelligence, predicting that AI doesn’t need or will replace humans is fiction. This is because AI is supposed to augment human intelligence, not subjugate it. 10. Is Image Recognition a Key Function of AI? Yes, a key function of AI is teaching machines how to identify and classify images. As more images are processed, the software becomes adept at recognizing and processing them, which, in turn, helps the machines to self-learn. Additionally, effective AI image recognition software can forecast outcomes. Applications and software trained to recognize images are intelligent enough to identify locations, persons, and objects in the images. 11. AI is a New Technological Advancement. Is This True? In 1955, Allen Newell and Herbert A. Simon created what can be called the first artificial intelligence program. Named Logic Theorist, it proved 38 of 52 mathematical theorems correct and found new and more elegant proofs for other such theorems. It was in 1956 that John McCarthy, a data scientist, officially coined the term ‘artificial intelligence’ and conducted the first AI conference at Dartmouth University. Therefore, AI definitely isn’t a new technological advance. Related Content: What is ChatGTP?

Trusted AI systems ... AI on the workforce and society as a whole.” Not bad, right? Maybe next ...	Most visible, perhaps, was Open AI’s OpenChat GPT, racking up 1 million users in just 5 days. Equally significant were developments behind the scenes. In 2022, new Machine Learning Operations (MLOps) services put the focus on scalability and support for important elements of the AI pipeline, including data engineering, model validation and trusted AI development. Having made a big bang in the creative community, technologists must now turn their minds to answering the difficult ethical questions raised by AI, and to making services efficient, responsible, sustainable and scalable. Here are our four predictions for AI in business in 2023. Prediction #1: Generative AI will grow up Generative models are AI services that can learn to create data, including text, images and music. OpenAI’s DALL-e, GPT-3 and ChatGPT, Stability.ai’s Stable Diffusion and Midjourney all require users to input a word or phrase, which is then used to generate new, unique content. To date, these outputs have most often been images or text, but in 2023, we’ll see a shift toward generating audio and film content. The quality of outputs will improve and services will be optimized for efficiency and scalability – including by using smaller datasets. How we use generative AI will also change. One important point of debate in 2022 was Stability.ai’s decision to publish their AI models under a creative license, to prevent the technology from being used for morally objectionable purposes. In 2023, we will see these types of licenses evolve and expand, together with new frameworks for ensuring responsible use. Prediction #2: AI will become more practical In 2022, MLOps changed the game by putting the spotlight on the scalability, reliability and efficiency of AI. 2023 will build on this progress. We’ll see advances in the optimization of AI workloads, servers and storage. Data distribution will be made simpler, making training, inferencing and other activities more efficient. Testing will become easier, and be streamlined to support mainstream applications. As a result, 2023 will be the year that AI finally stops being ‘magical’ and standalone, and instead earns a place within smart systems for business decision-making. This will drive the mainstream use of AI in real-world applications, with a focus on delivering tangible benefits and results in industries such as healthcare, finance, transport and manufacturing. As AI enters the mainstream, technologists will be under pressure to further demystify and democratize AI to increase user numbers. This leads us to… Prediction #3: Trusted AI will drive increased adoption Trusted AI systems are designed to be reliable, transparent and accountable in their decision-making and behavior, to protect the privacy, security and rights of individuals and their data. As AI becomes more sophisticated and widely used, it will become increasingly important to ensure that AI is used in a responsible and ethical manner. This is especially true in fields like healthcare, finance and law, where AI systems are increasingly being used to make decisions that significantly impact people’s lives. In 2023, we will therefore see a consolidated push towards trusted AI systems, where companies, society and organizations demand increased transparency and clear explanations of the output of AI models. This will be enforced by new regulations, like those being considered by the EU. Prediction #4: SustAInability will come to the fore AI has and will continue to play a significant role in promoting sustainability, by enabling organizations to manage resources, manage waste and pollution more efficiently, and to develop solutions for environmental challenges like biodiversity loss. On the other side of the coin, 2023 will also see the development of more energy-efficient AI algorithms and hardware, and the publication of new frameworks on sustainable AI design – both crucial for reducing the carbon footprint generated by AI. In the spirit of 2022’s AI advancements, I wanted to give the last word to AI itself. What trends does OpenAI’s ChatGPT predict for AI in 2023? “It is difficult to make predictions about the future, especially when it comes to specific technologies like AI. However, some general trends that are likely to continue in the field of AI include the development of more advanced and intelligent machine learning algorithms, the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the increasing use of AI in a wide variety of industries and applications. Additionally, there is likely to be a continued focus on ethics and the responsible use of AI, as well as on issues related to the potential impact of AI on the workforce and society as a whole.” Not bad, right? Maybe next year’s blog will be completely written by a model like this one!	2023-01-10T00:00:00	2023/01/10	https://www.sogeti.com/featured-articles/ai-predictions-for-2023/	[ { "date": "2022/12/23", "position": 76, "query": "workplace AI adoption" } ]
proposes a better way to share and preserve Earth's riches.	Basic Income alleviates poverty. Common Wealth proposes a better way to share and preserve Earth’s riches. — Common Wealth Canada	https://www.commonwealth.ca	[]	That dividend could be much higher if AI accelerates growth” ... That dividend is universal basic income, and it should be indexed to rise as productivity rises.	Dear Basic income supporter, Historically there have been two conversations in the basic income movement: one about basic income as a poverty alleviation measure and modernization of social safety nets, and the other about universal dividends as a form of property right – a share of co-created wealth that corrects the historical economic injustices which drive poverty and extreme inequality in the first place. In Canada, basic income has come to mean a Guaranteed Basic Income (GBI) to address poverty and support our most vulnerable. Making this a reality has been the professional focus of my life for the past five years and is why I founded and funded UBI Works and its activities. This is important work that must continue until poverty is eradicated. During this time I asked many questions and learned a lot about the origins of the basic income movement. Why have hundreds of years of basic income advocates promoted the idea that citizens are owed dividends funded by land value tax as a reparation? Why do they argue that the value of the planet – our common heritage – has been hoarded and polluted, and that dividends arising from healing our relationship to the commons – earth’s natural resources – is a way to reverse that? In our automated society, as income is increasingly earned by holders of property rather than by people contributing to society through jobs, how do we all participate in society’s progress? Reforms that can answer these questions justify dividends to all. The team at UBI Works and I had received feedback over the years, including from some of our closest friends lobbying for basic income in Parliament, that the argument for universal dividends from co-created wealth could confuse the arguments for poverty alleviation, jeopardizing the progress we’ve made towards GBI. For that reason, we have created Common Wealth to separate these conversations. You won’t see much about basic income on this site, even though a GBI and citizen’s dividends are complementary rather than competitive, much like how the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) supports seniors by need, while Old Age Security (OAS) is given as a right – recognizing their years participating in the Canadian economy. In their advocacy, both GBI and universal dividends are justified on their own merits, and thus we have chosen to separate their respective promotion. Common Wealth Dividends to citizens are an outcome, as opposed to the purpose, of the policies we will explore, which are all rooted in the idea that the value arising from what nature or our communities create, rather than individual effort, should be collected to benefit all citizens directly through dividends and reduced taxes. We published a 40 page paper that quantifies this value in Canada at over $241B/year, and have produced explainer content on how collecting it would address many of the negative incentives driving our housing and environmental crises; and could fund Common Wealth Dividends of up to $7,600/year per individual. We welcome you to this work. The goal of this project is to expand our common wealth in order to create a society where progress benefits everyone. As you will see from the endorsements of basic income leaders below, we are not alone in this view and would like very much for you to join us in its advancement. So please, explore this site, email me at [email protected] with your feedback and envision a future where not only is poverty eradicated but we each have a stake in our shared prosperity.

"In my personal experience, having lost my job in the past, you learn that you are not infallible," said Charles Rosenblatt, president of PayQuicker, a payment company that supports disbursements. "This helped me become a much more humble employee, which I think is an important quality for both an employee and an employer." Some of these workers may find their skills in demand, since there are fintechs and legacy card companies that are aggressively adding staff to gain an advantage in the year ahead. Here are some payment companies and fintechs that have announced large-scale hiring plans.	2022-12-23T00:00:00	2022/12/23	https://www.americanbanker.com/payments/list/these-payments-companies-are-hiring-bucking-the-trend-of-tech-layoffs	[ { "date": "2022/12/23", "position": 28, "query": "AI layoffs" } ]

For example, AI image generators are used as a tool for ideation and ...	GRAPHIC ARTISTS GUILD CONCERNS WITH AI IMAGE GENERATORS Artificial intelligence image generators can provide a great benefit to visual artists. For example, AI image generators are used as a tool for ideation and inspiration, and visual artists will be hired for jobs requiring the curatorial skills required to effectively use AI image generators. However, there are ethical and legal concerns raised by the use of AI image generators, and the consequences for visual artists will be grave. Unauthorized Use of Creators’ Imagery The neural networks driving AI generators have been trained from existing imagery. Some AI generators scrape the Internet for imagery, and others rely on images which have been submitted by users. The licensing process visual artists rely on is simply ignored. Overall, there is no consideration for the copyrights or licensing of those images. Some AI image platforms provide a means for artists to have their work removed from the image base, creating yet another realm in which artists must invest time and effort to police the use of their work. Additionally, once a work has been used for neural training, the damage has already been done; with millions of users on AI image generating platforms daily, thousands of images trained from that artwork may have already been generated. Confusion on Copyrights The US Copyright Office has stated that AI generated images created solely by artificial intelligence cannot be copyrighted. However, the Office has recognized and generated a registration certificate for AI generated images where human creativity – in determining the text prompts to generate the image, in curating the results, and in altering the result – has played a role. This has resulted in confusion in interpreting whether a work is an original work of human authorship or not. Additionally, where AI generated images result in a work similar to an original work, unresolved questions of fair use are raised. This has created an environment in which the original creators of visual imagery are unsure of their protections under copyright law. Infringers are emboldened to submit copyrighted works to AI image generators, and indeed to claim copyright to the result. Ethical Concerns in the Imitation of Artists’ Works The text prompts used to generate AI imagery permit users to request images which ape the distinctive style of individual visual artists. This will enable works which appear to have been created by a recognizable artist to be generated and licensed, bypassing commissioning or licensing work from that artist. This raises grave ethical concerns which have yet to be addressed by the technology sector invested in AI image generators. Once again, as with previous technological advancements which have facilitated infringement, visual artists who have spent years and effort honing their craft are the fodder to create considerable income, without remuneration, for others. Work Displacement We recognize that visual artists – in particular graphic artists such as designers and illustrators – natively have the prompting and curating skills required to be effective users of AI image generators. This will open up job possibilities and more effective ways of self-generating work for visual artists. However, it is inarguable that AI image generators will reduce the market for visual artists. Those same prompting and curating skills can be learned by individuals with no interest or ability in creating imagery without the intervention of AI image generators. Young artists will be discouraged from investing in educational programs in traditional media. The overall loss in job opportunities and the resultant reduction in skilled artists cannot be overlooked. There Can Be a Better Path Forward The Graphic Artists Guild recognizes that AI image generating technology is the wave of the future, and that this technology presents opportunities as well as challenges to visual artists. This technology is still in the early phases of its evolution, hence the lack of clarity on rights issues. However, we believe that this is an opportunity for the tech sector to take steps to recognize the damage this technology can do to the livelihood of visual artists and to propose standards and take measures to prevent the abuse of creators’ works:	2022-10-26T00:00:00	2022/10/26	https://graphicartistsguild.org/graphic-artists-guild-issues-statement-of-concern-with-ai-image-generators/	[ { "date": "2022/12/23", "position": 7, "query": "AI graphic design" } ]
Is AI taking over Graphic Design?	Is AI taking over Graphic Design?	https://www.dotyeti.com	[]	There is a lot of talk about how AI will drive graphic design but right now, the reality is far behind its grand goal.	In the past, graphic design took so much time and effort to create a simple image. In order to create letterheads, magazine staff had to have big desks because it was all manually assembled on printing presses. Photos were developed by hand with the use of darkrooms with chemicals. However, this all changed in 1984 when Macintosh from Apple arrived. There was suddenly layout software like the Aldus Pagemaker. The technology allowed designers to actually make revisions with a click. Graphic design changed from being a study table to a computer screen which is known as the desktop publishing revolution. Designing transitioned from being a time-consuming hands-on project to becoming an accessible program in the digital world. Right now, we are on another turn of a revolution with artificial intelligence and machines letting graphic design transition once more. The future of all this basically comes down to websites making themselves. Software that evaluates your text, and type of business and creates pages with no need for you to put effort. These tools will be put to the web initially and may, later on, affect print design. Then, software makers will transfer these techniques onto layout tools and applications. There is a lot of talk about how AI will drive graphic design but right now, the reality is far behind its grand goal. Several of the products available in the market are disappointing. This is a disappointment but also brings us back to thinking about how machines are merely an aid for us. AI Graphic Design Examples The Grid The Grid lets you know that your website design will be handled by the AI named Molly. She promises to never miss deadlines, charge more, and cover all your demands which are issues of people with graphic designers. They have promoted the AI website designing themselves since 2014 in their crowdfunding campaign. When they did this campaign, they asked for $96 from their founding members, and took years before producing the final item. If you watch their video right now, the next suggestion for it is a video on “the Grid Sucks, which is a long complaint about an early beta user. While Molly may be a breakthrough for AI, her role at the moment is limited to creating color palettes and cropping photos. Many Reddit users complain about how the produced website is difficult to use and impossible to customize. Currently, the only way to reach the brand is via a contact form with automated e-mail replies. This leads you to a demo video “The Five Minute Website on the Grid”. Just walk through the demo like normal content management systems like WordPress and Squarespace. Wix Wix is also a popular website maker that presents an AI solution: Wix ADI (Artificial Design Intelligence). Their claim is that it can create the website itself with the content you provide offering a multitude of design options. You can simply click the option you like and the program will reformat it to your content. It is quick and easy but it’s more of an enhanced version of Wix rather than an actual tool that auto-generates websites. Firedrop Firedrop is another tool that incorporates AI and ML. Their AI is Sacha which is a chatbot that assists you with the site-building process. They ask you a series of questions and then follow up with suggestions and recommendations. It was launched in March 2015 as a drag-and-drop website builder and transitioned into an AI design tool by the end of the year. CEO Marc Crouch claims that AI is meant to duplicate the experience of collaborating with a professional web designer. Evaluation The following are web design tools and although they do offer assistance via artificial intelligence, they still generally require hands-on use. You’re the one inputting the data, seeing the options, and choosing the template. This is still very helpful especially if you’re starting out as a designer or just a small business owner. In fact, this can be proven as Firedrop really targets small businesses as their market. With all the templates and the interfaces, the burden for these businesses to go online has massively lessened. Upcoming AI-based tools are just here to make it even easier and make sure that the websites being made don’t just end up looking the exact same. At the same time, the algorithms and routines used just still end up making it feel that everything was based on a template. Graphic Designer’s Perspective It can be noted that some graphic designers have stressed about getting replaced ever since the existence of digital means. Meanwhile, John Maeda, the head of computational design and inclusion at Automattic, is the opposite. He believes he’s always prepared to be one step above the machines. It’s more of an exciting challenge to him that he faces like a warrior. Once professional graphic designers give some of the responsibility to technology or maybe even get eliminated from the creative process completely, some of them might actually prefer the change. This presents them an opportunity to step away from the gadgets and work with their hands once more. In the same way, if these AI algorithms end up working out, it would save a lot of time for designers. It would also provide them with more chances to reflect on their creativity.

What does the rise of AI mean for the future of art?	What does the rise of AI mean for the future of art?	https://www.smh.com.au	[ "Elizabeth Flux" ]	Are artists at risk of becoming obsolete? “A year or two back if you'd asked me whether graphic design was a safe job, I'd have said, yes, ...	At present, AI is directed by humans, so “in training AI generally there’s a moral responsibility on the people who are doing the training to think about where they’re directing this capability,” says Ewan McEoin, senior curator of contemporary art, design and architecture at the National Gallery of Victoria. Can AI and the art world happily coexist? As AI rapidly evolves, it’s difficult for protections to keep pace – this opens up conversations about how to protect existing work while also looking at the creative potential of AI. McEoin is riding his bike to the gallery when he pulls over to speak to me, our conversation soundtracked by birdsong and gentle breeze. “We need to remember that AI is a tool – and it’s a tool that’s not specifically developed to make art,” he reflects. “It’s a tool that’s capable of dealing with huge quantities of data.” Quantum Memories by Refik Anadol is a work of art created by harnessing a dataset drawn from over two hundred million images linked to nature from publicly available internet resources and processed using quantum computing with machine learning algorithms. Credit: Refik Anadol Studio He highlights how the world is incredibly data-rich, across business, finance, health, education, and how all the information pulsing through society is becoming increasingly connected. “We’re looking at a future where, across lots of different aspects of society, AI will be increasingly used to process huge quantities of data,” says McEoin. As an institution, he says, the gallery plays a role in recording these changes as they progress and asking questions about what it all means. “How do we help the public understand what some of the implications of these things will be?” He points to Quantum Memories by Refik Anadol, which was displayed in the NGV as part of the Triennial. Artist Refik Anadol has been working with AI for seven years. Credit: Efsun Erkilic The mesmerising work, displayed on a giant LED screen was created by directing a quantum computer to process around 200 million images of nature and landscapes in a database owned by Google then asking it to look for patterns and commonalities. “What Refik asked it to do was to learn from that and recreate landscapes, imagined landscapes,” says McEoin. The result is a constantly changing series of moving images that are at once familiar and alien. “The work is a never-ending generative exploration of this information.” AI has actually been part of art for a while Anadol’s artwork has been inextricably linked with technology since almost the beginning. “I’ve been programming computers to make art since 14 years”, he tells me. Seven years ago he started working with AI at Google as an artist in residence. “So we are a pioneer studio, because seven years with AI is like 70 years,” he adds with a laugh. AI being used to increase the potential of art, to broaden what is possible is an idea that Walsh raised. “I think the best way to envisage artificial intelligence is something that augments us. We’ve always picked up and used tools, and here’s a new tool that will allow many of us to make much more beautiful art than we could without the tool.” The work Refik Anadol Studio creates is diverse and displayed all over the world, using technology to probe ideas in unexpected ways – in one work, Melting Memories, Anadol uses EEG data as a way to try and present the concept of memory visually. Insight into the creation process behind Melting Memories. Credit: Refik Anadol Studio. All of the studio’s work requires drawing on huge amounts of data and pools of information, but they make sure to put a fence around it. “In our work, we always try to emphasise where the AI comes from, where data comes from, what kind of tools we use. I’m extremely open about our approach,” he tells me. Anadol is an optimist – the joy he feels in his work is clear in every sentence he utters. When asked how he came to AI in the first place, he tells me he loves to learn. “Some people call it nerd some people call it curious,” he says with a laugh. He also mentions he is a fan of sci-fi. But isn’t AI – autonomous AI anyway – often portrayed in a negative light in sci-fi I ask. “I highly believe that these technologies can create a problem for humanity for sure,” he replies, highlighting privacy and free will in particular. “What we read, what we watch, what we buy, eat … wherever we go is all defined by machines”. Artists, he reflects, have a role in bringing awareness, and he is interested in subverting the negatives and seeing how they can be made positive. “What else can we do with the same technologies and the systems imposed on us? How can we turn them into creative outputs? How can we use them to enhance our cognitive capacity? How can we use AI as a means of extension of the human mind?” A look at the creation process behind the artwork Melting Memories, which draws on EEG data. Credit: Refik Anadol Studio Anadol’s work opens up many questions and possibilities. Quantum Memories gives viewers an indication of what AI sees when it looks at the natural world. “It will be able to see not only the beauty of nature, but also the damage caused to nature by human beings,” says McEoin. “If AI was asked to do something about this situation, what would it do?“ This is just the beginning McEoin underscores the fact that these are early days for AI and art, and that it will be interesting to see where things go. “This is like a baby learning to paint, these images that we’re seeing at the moment.” Currently, AI-created images and artwork are still human-led. He’s curious though. “What kind of art would AI make if you matched up a quantum computer, and AI and the internet? “Although at the moment, it’s an aesthetic thing that we’re looking at, I would be very interested to understand the topics, the subject matter, the discourses that AI wants to have with us, because we’re not at that point yet.” So, what happens to artists now? Whether AI poses a direct risk to artists – that they could simply be replaced by machines learning from all that humans have created before them – is a tricky thing to answer. Across the academics, artists and curators I speak to, all of them point to something indefinable that forms a layer of protection, though not all of them are referring to the same thing. There’s the fact that what art actually is can’t be nailed down, even between people. “We also have to remember that just making an image with AI is not necessarily making art,” says McEoin. “There’s a big difference between taking a photograph and taking a photograph that is considered as part of an artistic movement or art form.” Loading Anadol agrees. “Just prompting an image isn’t art at all,” he tells me. “The question is really what we do with that, and how we use it for the artistic context.” Walsh draws my attention to the fact that photography didn’t destroy painting. “Art is more than just making images that are realistic. It’s about asking questions, and addressing aspects of the human condition, whether that’s about falling in love and losing loved ones and human mortality and all of the troubling questions that art helps us to think about,” he tells me. “Machines aren’t going to speak to us in the same way that artists speak to us because they don’t share our humanity.” We reached out to the Art Gallery of New South Wales to ask about whether works created in part by AI would be eligible for the Archibald Prize but were told no one was available to comment. Leutwyler is positive about AI and advancements in technology. Their concern lies with the issues of trust and consent when work is used without permission or compensation.	2022-12-21T00:00:00	2022/12/21	https://www.smh.com.au/culture/art-and-design/what-does-the-rise-of-ai-mean-for-the-future-of-art-20221221-p5c81c.html	[ { "date": "2022/12/23", "position": 51, "query": "AI graphic design" } ]
If this is the future of AI art, we're not here for it	If this is the future of AI art, we're not here for it	https://www.creativebloq.com	[ "Joseph Foley", "Joe Foley", "Freelance Journalist", "Social Links Navigation" ]	There he manages a team of designers, photographers and video editors who specialise in producing visual content and design assets for the hospitality sector.	Just when we're starting to come to terms with the power of the latest AI image generators, along comes another advance. On the heels of DALL-E comes Point-E, an AI image generator for 3D modelling with a similar modus operandi. AI image generators took massive leaps forwards in the past year, allowing anyone to create sometimes stunning imagery from a text prompt. For now they can only create still 2D images, but OpenAI, the company behind DALL-E 2, one of the most popular image generators. has just revealed its latest research into an AI-powered 3D modelling tool... but it looks kind of basic (see how to use DALL-E 2 to get up to speed on OpenAI's image generator). (Image credit: OpenAI) After DALL-E comes Point-E, a model that looks set to bring revolutionary text-to-image tech to 3D modelling. OpenAI says the tool, which has been trained on millions of 3D models, can generate 3D point clouds from simple text prompts. The catch? The resolution is fairly poor. Image 1 of 2 3D cloud models generated by Point-E (Image credit: OpenAI) 3D cloud models generated by Point-E (Image credit: OpenAI) The research paper, authored by a team led by team led by Alex Nichol, says that unlike other methods, Point-E "leverages a large corpus of (text, image) pairs, allowing it to follow diverse and complex prompts, while our image-to-3D model is trained on a smaller dataset of (image, 3D) pairs." It says: "To produce a 3D object from a text prompt, we first sample an image using the text-to-image model, and then sample a 3D object conditioned on the sampled image." Point-E runs a synthetic view 3D rendering through a series of diffusion models to create a 3D, RGB point cloud: first a coarse 1,024-point cloud, and then a finer 4,096-point cloud. How Point-E works (Image credit: OpenAI) The example results in the research paper may look basic compared to the images that DALL-E 2 can produce, and compared to the 3D capabilities of existing systems. But creating 3D images is a hugely resource-hungry process. Programs like Google's DreamFusion require hours of processing using multiple GPUs. OpenAI recognises that it's method performs worse in terms of the quality of results, but says it produces samples in a mere fraction of the time – we're talking seconds rather than hours – and requires only one GPU, making 3D modelling more accessible. You can already try it out for yourself because OpenAI has shared the source code on Github. Get the Creative Bloq Newsletter Daily design news, reviews, how-tos and more, as picked by the editors.

In Just Six Months Of Going Live", "The Startup Has Helped More Than Businesses Source Unique Graphic Designs", "Has Paid Out More Than", "To Its Ever-Growing Community Of" ]	Graphic design trends will go through major changes including use of bold colors, unique shapes, UX & responsive designs and app-inspired designs in 2025.	Facebook Twitter LinkedIn WhatsApp Every passing year, we experience a fresh set of changes happening in the world of graphic designs. This is because of the intense competition in the $36 billion industry. Everyone, right from graphic designers to businesses, seems to be busy creating personal and memorable experiences to catch the attention and interest of users. Since the purpose of creating graphical elements such as logo designs, website designs, etc. is to engage and convert viewers, a number of fresh and innovative graphic design trends continue to pour in every year. In 2025, the graphic design industry is likely to witness even more dramatic changes, many of which have been building up over the months and will be seen in their full strength in the coming days. Here Are The Graphic Design Trends That Will Rock The World 01. Designs For Users Graphic design trends will be more centered around designs that specially focus on rich user experience. The UX designs will be centered on the usefulness of design and people will rate only such design as cool. In 2025, businesses will bring to the fore graphic designs that offer personalized and memorable user experience. Remember, the trend of user-centered design is fast catching up and you can rest assured that your sales will drop if users find your designs complicated and less friendly in the year ahead. 02. Responsive Design According to a report by Convinceandconvert.com, mobile usage is set to outdo desktop usage in the year to come. It is important to ensure that your graphic designs respond well to the small screens of smartphones. Remember, most consumers now prefer browsing the Internet on their mobile devices. Therefore, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say you’ll have no other choice than to make your graphic design products mobile-friendly in 2025. Since business owners and designers rapidly adapt to these evolving trends, many rely on the graphic design subscription approach, ensuring they can access innovative and fresh graphic designs on demand. This model lets businesses stay ahead of trends without taking the pain of hiring in-house designers for even minor updates. 03. Innovative App Design Whether you want to shop, socialize, party, or book a cab, you have an app for that! It seems as if the world is fast moving towards an app-driven market. In 2025, we’re likely to see graphic designers come out with innovative and useful designs for mobile apps. This is because people spend most of their time on mobile apps now and they essentially look for and demand more personalized and creative experiences from the brands providing those apps. Designers are looking to take advantage of this situation. And that’s why we’re sure that you will see many innovative and trendsetting mobile app designs in the year to come. 04. Use Of Rich And Bold Colors As far as colors are concerned, graphic designers may go back to a bygone era in their choice of colors. Experts are of the view that the rich and bold colors of the ’80s and ’90s may make a comeback. Interior designers have already introduced bold colors and have converted it into a major trend. This will soon percolate to graphic design works including website design. 05. Focus On Creating Unique Shapes A major change that expected to make waves this 2025 will be emergence of new shapes. Graphic designers are under growing pressure of creating something new that stands out and attracts people instantly. This quest for unique design will take them to creating new shapes, even odd ones. The trend of unique shapes have already been explored in the logos of Tokyo Olympics, Clubish Dance Radio and Airbnb logos. These logos are just some of the many based on unique shapes. Some well-informed and widely agreed-upon predictions of what graphic design trends will be popular in the year 2025. May be these major changes will rule graphic design trends in the coming days.

DOWNLOAD AI TAC REPORT Although employers are increasingly using Artificial Intelligence (“AI”)-enabled selection tools and processes for making decisions across the employment life cycle, little guidance that is specifically designed to help employers understand and address the Equal Employment Opportunity (“EEO”) and Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (“DEI&A”) issues that arise from the use of AI-enabled tools in the employment context is available. To help fill that gap, the Institute for Workplace Equality (“Institute” or “IWE”) created an Artificial Intelligence Technical Advisory Committee (“AI TAC”) consisting of 40 subject matter experts chaired by Victoria A. Lipnic, former Commissioner and former Acting Chair of the EEOC and tasked them with identifying those key issues and providing recommendations for how best to approach them. After over a year of work, the AI TAC has issued its Report on EEO and DEI&A Considerations in the Use of Artificial Intelligence in Employment Decision Making (the “Report” or the “AI TAC Report”).

The Future of AI Art and Automation in Creative Industries	The Future of AI Art and Automation in Creative Industries	https://www.zhangjingna.com	[ "Photographer Jingna Zhang" ]	Long story short, AI art & automation will impact more art-related jobs than many realize. We all need to adapt, that is not a question, but the time will ...	Imagine a regular small-medium business that hires multiple people for their social media team. They might need a video content creator, producer, writer, studio manager, talents, editors, assistants, set designer, stylist, etc. But when text-to-video becomes commonplace, you only need a copywriter and a freelance editor to write out the meme videos you want. It's faster, it's cheaper. Even right now, companies repost content from creators on social media. It’s only needed as a one-time use content. They just need something new, multiple times a day. The brand doesn’t own the rights and they don’t need to. Copyright exists to protect a creator from having their work stolen and profited off from—but in this case, the company only cares about pushing out content to promote their product. There's no incentive to care if someone else steals their AI generated image or video. They can just make more. Who’s Safe? The best and biggest names will be safe for a while. AAA studios will keep hiring the best people, magazines that hire me will still hire me (or not), top actors and models are fine. Mid-level animation and video will be safe for a bit longer, because of resources/computing power. The first to go today are smaller, indie illustrators, retouchers, writers—where the work delivered is standalone and doesn’t interface with other parts of productions, where copyright isn’t important to own for the client, and where potential infringement don’t bother them as much either. So long as it looks good enough, a business will happily prompt it themselves and not hire people for it anymore. Book covers, marketing illustrations, poster art, etc, all fall under that. A nice pattern on the throw pillow or dress in the store? That was someone’s job. General retoucher hiring will be reduced, because filters are good enough for many non high end jobs. Copywriters are now skippable, because ChatGPT can replace them in many instances. There Must Be Upsides! AI art will create an overload of content and we will get more than we could ever dream of consuming. Companies will get to save lots of money by eliminating jobs and roles. Smaller creators and individuals could stand to benefit too—provided we could afford the price. Other than AI art that is currently unethically scraped without copyright owners’ consent and will eliminate more jobs than it creates, most complex automation and AI tech in the creative fields are B2B and priced accordingly to serve corporations. They will be expensive, but affordable to companies at high price tags because they are cheaper than humans in the long run. In time, there may be enough innovation at scale that even small creatives can benefit. I look forward to the day when AI art and tools are ethically made and equally beneficial to everyone, but it’s an entirely separate issue from the job loss that workers in creative industries will need to experience first. Long story short, AI art & automation will impact more art-related jobs than many realize. We all need to adapt, that is not a question, but the time will also come for when automation and AI reaches more industries across the entire fabric of society. So I sincerely wish there could be a larger conversation around what would become of all of us when that happens. People tend not to care unless something is happening to themselves. But nevertheless, I have some small hopes that some people will contribute to the dialogue. What Will Happen to Human-Made Art? I believe human-made art will survive—on a smaller scale. It will likely become a niche like what handmade goods are for us today in a world of mass production. But we'll need infrastructure, protection, systems, and support in place. (And I think, art platforms will be a great place to help provide some of that support.) What Should We Do? There's a whole host of issues to address with regards to AI as it will impact everyone across all fabric of society. But before we can begin to address those topics, not stealing from businesses and individuals should be the utmost basic starting point that everyone agrees upon. AI development should benefit humanity, doing it on the backs of stealing from millions of people should not be part of it. So sign petitions, write to your representatives, pay attention to discussions, do research. Be wary of rage bait content from anyone, from any side. Verify and educate yourself by going to the source instead of taking things at face value. Hear about a great new app? Try it yourself before recommending it to others. Hear about a new law? Read it yourself on the official website before sharing what someone else has paraphrased. No matter how far removed you feel that you are from the situation, AI won’t just impact other people, it will likely impact you too. A New Platform I waited and waited for ArtStation to revise their stance. I don’t know if they don’t care because they think people have nowhere left to go? So I thought, if that’s the case, I will build it. I want a platform that opts images out of scraping by default, that won't host AI art until datasets are ethically sourced and laws have passed to properly protect artists' work. I don't want a platform to simply be an ArtStation alternative. What I want is a community where artists are prioritized. I want someplace to exist that can help facilitate discussions, education, and support as we navigate the incoming shifts. I want to make it possible for people to continue to find human artists easily, even in the future as we get more and more AI-generated work in society. I don’t have all the answers, but people coming together just might. So I hope that people will continue to have thoughtful conversations and champion for respect and fair treatment for all. Building Cara Platform development will take time. For now, we’ve launched a beta of our MVP and you can check it out here: cara.app We are a small group of volunteers in need of more engineers. If you’d like to help, drop us an email at [email protected] or ping us on Discord if you’d like to contribute! Edit: Cara’s first MVP opened for public signups after 3 weeks! We worked tirelessly to make it happen. And if you are looking for a new place to chat art, share your work, or just want to check out what we are doing, do check us out!! 🥰✨ We are still in beta, so I don’t know if we can be a complete art Twitter alternative, but we’ll do our best to build a platform that can support our community. Follow me on Cara for more updates. 2023 Apr 2: It’s been 3 months since my post and most of my predictions here have now taken shape as public products or demos. I’ve been asked to write more on the topic, but most of my time has been dedicated to building Cara in lieu of meeting my photobook deadlines, so for the moment, I need to focus on wrapping up my obligation to my publisher while still keep development going. Once that is complete, I will participate in the AI conversations a little more. You can follow my Twitter or Cara for some shorter form thoughts for now. Thank you. — Notes: Why am I so pessimistic? The year before AlphaGo, I ran into Yann LeCun at a conference and asked about training images in my style. Gist of the answer was that it wasn’t really a question of possibility, just computing power, size of dataset, and money. When AlphaGo came around, I was watching. I played Go when I was young—I competed in amateur tournaments, photographed the world’s biggest events, met Lee Sedol and Lee Changho, ran a Go blog, and even lived with some professional players for a time. I had ML and CS friends who did their PhDs and did researched at some of the biggest companies in the world. And none of us—none—thought that Go would be solved so soon—including the AlphaGo team themselves, as can be seen in the AlphaGo documentary! To watch the best human player in the world defeated so completely—we thought that wouldn’t happen for another 10 or 20 years. Technology was freaking incredible and I felt that elation and excitement, no question. But my heart was also crushed. I paid more attention after that. Tech takes time to progress, but most people fail to understand just how fast advancements can happen. I feel like I've been in social media hell forever this year. I want to just, get back to posting my work and not be doom and gloom every post because this is really, really, exhausting. I'm also sure I'm missing nuances and examples and my ML readers are possibly cringing. It terrifies me that I'd likely be trolled and attacked and I've had enough of that this year already. So no need to fight me on estimates if you disagree. It's not like I can see the future, I just extrapolated from what I know. Things like artists losing jobs is already a fact. But maybe there will be more protection for human workers across society when people start discussing it more. Or maybe research will escalate because corporations are now more invested than ever. Maybe there will be UBI! Who knows. Regardless of what you think, I believe that ignoring what the advancement of what AI means and how it could impact our lives is naive. It’s time to pay attention. Please give it some thought. Edit: When I wrote this post, I wanted to share what I knew of AI development that wasn’t talked about at the time of publication. I also wanted to share my stance and on AI because I had just started building Cara, a new platform for artists. I made it as a response to the lack of a similar community space for creatives where the founding team has a clear understanding of industry impact and care for artists, so I figured it was important to share my thoughts and perspectives so that people who are new to Cara can see where I stand. To be clear, like many working artists, picking up new technology is part of my job. I understand that tools will increase productivity. But I am against the unethical use of artists’ work in training generative models without our consent. The logic to unauthorized usage and licensing is simple: licensing is part of my business, so if someone wants to use my work—be it an artist who wants to use it as reference in a painting, or a company that wants to use it in an internal project—they pay for a license so they can use my work legally. People who don’t believe a work or service is worth paying for shouldn’t use it, it’s as simple as that. I want to build a platform that is technologically aware and work on educating and helping our community through what is coming. That is my priority. This post is simply my estimates on what will happen in the future.	2022-12-24T00:00:00		https://www.zhangjingna.com/blog/the-future-of-ai-art-and-automation-in-creative-industries	[ { "date": "2022/12/24", "position": 4, "query": "AI impact jobs" }, { "date": "2022/12/24", "position": 37, "query": "automation job displacement" }, { "date": "2022/12/24", "position": 8, "query": "AI job losses" }, { "date": "2022/12/24", "position": 8, "query": "AI replacing workers" }, { "date": "2022/12/24", "position": 3, "query": "future of work AI" }, { "date": "2022/12/24", "position": 6, "query": "generative AI jobs" }, { "date": "2022/12/24", "position": 73, "query": "AI job creation vs elimination" }, { "date": "2022/12/24", "position": 72, "query": "AI job creation vs elimination" }, { "date": "2022/12/24", "position": 73, "query": "AI job creation vs elimination" }, { "date": "2022/12/24", "position": 72, "query": "AI job creation vs elimination" }, { "date": "2022/12/24", "position": 73, "query": "AI job creation vs elimination" } ]
Technologies & Artificial Intelligence Challenges	Technologies & Artificial Intelligence Challenges	https://studycorgi.com	[]	For this reason, companies such as Apple or Microsoft should cultivate the idea of the impossibility of replacing workers with AI because of their critical ...	For innovative organizations, such as Apple, new technologies introduce not only benefits but also new challenges as the use of artificial intelligence (AI) changes the way organizations work. The first problem comes from the necessity to integrate new technologies into the collective and ensure people do not have conflicts with them. For instance, the use of AI can trigger the rise of fears of being replaced or forced to use it (Robert et al., 2020). From an employee’s perspective, technology remains a threat to their stable work and privacy. To a greater degree, it comes from the lack of understanding of how such systems work and what functions they can perform. However, research shows that many people still have problems using this technology (Premuzic-Chamorro and Dattner, 2019). For Apple, as one of the leaders in the sphere of innovation, the problem acquires the top priority as it has to integrate such functions into its functioning to attain success. We will write a custom essay on your topic tailored to your instructions! ---experts online Let us help you Another problem comes from the options provided by using AI as a talent management tool, as AI offers multiple opportunities for improving the work of organizations by analyzing applicants and their data and making specific solutions (Iqbal, 2018). However, the ethical issue emerges as workers might be dissatisfied with the fact that a machine influences their career and employment (Mandhare, 2019). For instance, Microsoft Workplace Analytics allows investigating teams’ data to outline solutions leading to better results. It helps to determine what makes a successful employee and look for such features in other applicants (Renourad, 2017). It might help to boost the work of giants such as Apple but also lead to new problems with people. One of the possible solutions is the cultivation of specialists’ self-image and their feeling of being safe. Research shows that perceived self-esteem and usefulness can affect the relation between job insecurity and readiness to use AI (Dabbous, Barakat, and Sayegh, 2021). For this reason, companies such as Apple or Microsoft should cultivate the idea of the impossibility of replacing workers with AI because of their critical importance for companies and creativity. It will help to create a positive environment and avoid decreased motivation or unwillingness to use innovative technologies. Another possible solution is eliminating the AI skills gap peculiar to a significant percentage of workers nowadays. For instance, surveys show that about 68% of all specialists have issues with AI, which results in a low desire to use it and multiple fears (Hupfer, 2020). For instance, Apple already devotes much attention to creating an environment with machine learning and training specialists to work with this technology (Hupfer, 2020). It results in improved creativity, autonomy, and decision-making. For this reason, the introduction of specific courses can be viewed as a potent solution to eliminate barriers linked to the use of innovations and integrate them into the work of a company. Altogether, innovations, specifically AI, are vital for modern organizations. However, they can result in the emergence of undesired behaviors among workers, such as resistance, fear, and problems with self-image. For Apple, it is vital to introduce additional safety guarantees to ensure that specialists are protected and ready to use new solutions (The work is innovative, no date). Furthermore, eliminating the gap in knowledge linked to the field will also be a practical solution helping the companies to evolve and improve their functioning. The benefits of AI cannot be denied, and it is vital to integrate this method into the work of corporations today. Reference List On-time delivery! On-time delivery!

How Does Automation Promote Employee Efficiency?	How Does Automation Promote Employee Efficiency?	https://elearningindustry.com	[ "Devin Partida", "Nikos Andriotis", "Sean Stowers", "Christopher Pappas", "Nidhi Dubey" ]	Employees benefit when part of the workplace is automated. It saves people time and energy, boosts productivity, and catches errors as they occur.	Can Automation Improve Company Efficiency? Automation uses technology to perform tasks with little or no human input. It gives people more time to focus on other jobs, helps catch errors, and manages complex systems. It also allows technology to go where people can’t, doing dangerous or monotonous work easily. Employees working in an automation-integrated workplace are often happier and more efficient. Here’s how it helps. Types Automation comes in the form of many technologies that require little human intervention. Some of these include: Computerization Mechanization Artificial Intelligence (AI) Robotics These types of technology have become a part of daily life and have improved many aspects of the workplace. Almost every industry now uses some form of automation. The following are a few notable ways it promotes employee efficiency. Notable Ways Automation Promotes Employee Efficiency 1. Reducing Physical Labor Employees can get tired or injured while performing manual jobs, but automatic machinery can do repetitive, dangerous tasks in less-than-ideal conditions. For example, driverless tractors can plow and seed a field in scorching hot temperatures. Robots can inspect potentially unstable bridges and drones fly over wildfires to identify the safest areas for firefighters to come in. Machinery can also handle poisonous or corrosive substances that might make people sick. Automatic machinery that performs dangerous or exhausting tasks allows employees to come to work every day feeling their best. These machines save energy and reduce the risk of on-the-job injuries. 2. Freeing Up Time Automation allows people to work on something else while a machine does another task. For example, engineers can start working on their next design while a CNC machine cuts a metal block into a specific automotive part. Machine learning operations (MLOps) increases the automation of production models in the software field, allowing developers and IT operators to create higher-quality software [1]. Amazon fulfillment centers use mechanical arms equipped with AI and computer vision to sort items and packages into the correct bins. Furthermore, since a machine can typically finish a task faster than a person, employees end up with a wealth of extra time on their hands. This allows them to be much more efficient at their jobs. Automation can also help people get home on time, such as by doing extra work when a team is short-staffed. 3. Catching And Correcting Errors Reducing human input invariably reduces errors. People are prone to making mistakes or to showing slight variations in quality, which can cost workers time and energy. In contrast, machines can replicate the same results countless times. The time employees save by not having to correct errors increases productivity. IoT-connected devices can also look for and correct system flaws as they happen. For example, farmers can put automated collars on their livestock to keep them inside an invisible boundary. When an animal leaves the predetermined area, the internet-connected collar delivers a shock or warning beep to herd it back home. Even machines that aren’t connected online can catch mistakes in real time. Sorting machines detect tears or illegible addresses on packages, sending them back to human workers to correct before shipment. Drug delivery devices in hospitals flag unusual numbers (indicating a potentially incorrect medicine dosage) to make nurses double-check that they’re giving a patient the right amount of medication. 4. Managing Inventory Robots can work in fulfillment centers and warehouses to organize inventory. They eliminate the task of walking long distances down aisles looking for an item, scanning it, putting it into a cart, and bringing it back to be packaged. They can put bins full of items on the correct shelves or conveyor belts in a factory. Automation can also manage digital inventory tasks, such as tracking how much food is in stock, which items need to be ordered soon, and what products are selling fastest. This gives people more time to focus on cognitive tasks. 5. Improving Employee Morale Doing the same task repeatedly, such as placing a single part into a product on a factory line all day, can demotivate people. Automation can handle boring or demoralizing jobs while employees work on something more fulfilling. For example, robots designed to place labels on boxes can perform this repetitive action all day, giving human workers a greater sense of purpose. Happier workers are more efficient, resulting in higher productivity and better retention. Automation Promotes Efficiency Employees benefit when part of the workplace is automated. It saves people time and energy, boosts productivity, and catches errors as they occur. Companies that integrate automation will help their employees succeed at their jobs.

Is Nepotism in the Workplace Illegal in America?	Is Nepotism in the Workplace Illegal in America?	https://www.thehrdigest.com	[ "Anna Verasai", "Diana Coker", "Jane Harper", "Ava Martinez", "Priyansha Mistry", "Hr News", "Anna Versai Is A Team Writer At The Hr Digest", "She Covers Topics Related To Recruitment", "Workplace Culture", "Interview Tips" ]	To highlight our current overreliance on AI, a new report revealed that AI is now making firing and layoff decisions for managers. ...	Nepotism in the workplace has long been a controversial topic, and now a new voice has joined the conversation: Nepo Baby. The Instagram account, which has amassed a following of over 100,000 in just a few short weeks, features a cartoon baby with the caption “Nepo Baby calls out nepotism in Hollywood.” The account has been sharing memes and satirical posts about the prevalence of nepotism in the entertainment industry, and it has struck a chord with many followers who’ve brought their own grievances to the platform from other industries. While some have praised Nepo Baby for bringing attention to the issue and for providing a humorous take on a sensitive subject, others have criticized the account for being too simplistic and for not offering any real solutions to the problem. So, The HR Digest has curated a short guide on — Nepotism in the workplace – Legalities and Consequences of the pervasive issue in the workplace – and How to prevent Nepotism at. Nepotism in the Workplace: A Controversial and Complicated Issue Nepotism, or the practice of giving jobs or opportunities to friends and family, is a controversial topic in the workplace. While it may seem unfair to some, it’s important to understand that nepotism is not necessarily illegal in the United States. However, there are certain limitations and consequences that can come into play when it comes to nepotism in the workplace. What Is Nepotism? According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, nepotism is defined as “favoritism (as in appointment to a job) based on kinship.” In other words, it’s the practice of giving opportunities or benefits to friends and family, rather than selecting the most qualified candidate. Nepotism can take many forms in the workplace, including hiring, promotions, pay raises, and assignments. It’s often seen as a way for individuals in positions of power to give preferential treatment to their loved ones, whether or not they are the most qualified candidates for the job. Is Nepotism Illegal in the U.S.? In the United States, nepotism is not necessarily illegal. However, it can become illegal if it violates anti-discrimination laws or results in the misuse of company resources. For example, if a company owner hires their spouse for a high-level position, and that person is not qualified for the job, it could be considered illegal. Similarly, if a manager promotes their friend to a position that they are not qualified for, it could be seen as a misuse of company resources. However, it’s important to note that nepotism at work is not illegal in and of itself. It’s only when it violates other laws or policies that it becomes a problem. The Consequences of Nepotism in the Workplace While nepotism may not be illegal, it can still have negative consequences for both the company and its employees. Here are a few potential impacts of nepotism in the workplace: Decreased morale: When employees feel like they are being passed over for opportunities due to nepotism, it can lead to decreased morale and increased turnover. This can be especially true if employees feel like they are being treated unfairly or that their hard work is not being recognized.

Graphic Design Trends 2023	Graphic Design Trends 2023	https://blog.designcrowd.com	[ "Written Designcrowd On Saturday", "December", "Designcrowd Is An Online Marketplace Providing Logo", "Website", "Print", "Graphic Design Services Providing Access To Freelance Graphic Designers", "Design Studios Around The World." ]	Innovative Graphic Design Trends for 2023 · 3D Design Takes Center Stage · AI Art and Virtual Reality · Bold Geometry · Folklore, Mysticism, and Sci-Fi · Diverse ...	Annually, graphic design trends change. Unearthed new ones or new light shines on old ones. Today, we’re helping you give your branding a fresh feel with the 2023 graphic design trends below. Innovative Graphic Design Trends for 2023 Graphic design is vital in improving your brand identity. It encompasses all aspects of your brand, allowing you to achieve consistency and great first impressions on your market. We listed 13 graphic design trends that’ll surely turn heads in 2023 just for you. You don’t have to follow all of them. Pick the ones that coincide with your brand’s personality. The method above also ensures that your design doesn’t have grounds for logo plagiarism and keeps you unique and sought after. Join us as we dive into each of the 13 below. 3D Design Takes Center Stage Give your design a sense of realism with 3D design. Objects start to take their proper form in digital format compared to 2D design. The three-dimensional design allows you to be inventive and creative, bringing your fresh ideas to life. The realness of your design gives it depth and makes it easier or your market to relate to you and the message you want to convey. But you can push your design to the limit and create art beyond reality. After all, 3D elements exist in the physical world through print and product design. AI Art and Virtual Reality Artificial intelligence has been a trend in various companies through chatbots and work-efficient tools, but you can also use it in art. Compared to 3D design that makes your elements look realistic, you can also surpass that through AI. With the release of Dall-E 2, you cannot create art through text. It’s now easier to develop the concept art you want to feature for your brand to spice up your visuals. Another concept to consider aside from artificial intelligence is adding virtual reality concepts to your design. The futuristic vibe and rise of the user population in this industry should push you to consider its integration. Worldwide, a whopping 171 million are VR users. Imagine being one of the businesses giving your customers an immersive, personalized experience they’ll love. Bold Geometry Next on the list, we have geometry. This technique is also one of the logo trends of 2023. The shapes here are abstract and often used as background enhancers or borders. Liven up your geometry of choice with your color palette. You can either have a seasonal color like fall or gradients. Or choose a unique-looking shape and incorporate it in your design to help emphasize and direct the eyes of your market to certain aspects of your design. Folklore, Mysticism, and Sci-Fi Want to create a calming, humanized, and personal brand? These three themes are for you. From characters in folktales or myths to astrology and astronomy, these are some designs you don’t want to miss. The most common are mysticism and sci-fi. The former is associated with the stars, fate, and the overall promotion of serene living. Often, the color palette is blue or other muted colors related to the cosmos paired with a feminine figure or constellations to give your customers that ethereal vibe. The latter focuses more on the psychedelic feel that space gives your audience. Diverse Typography When it comes to branding, you can’t forget how your business name and other related text look on various mediums. Typography helps you with that and adds to your business's overall personality. From font styles like sans serif to serifs, this coming 2023, we’re seeing two types of typography coming to light: custom and expressive fonts. Custom As the name suggests, custom fonts are primarily created for a specific business. They’re uniquely designed to show off and make a mark on the minds of your market. Custom typography also makes your brand look more personal since it shows your values and vibe that instantly connect with your market’s aesthetic. Also, it’s one of the branding elements you must trademark to ensure that you’re protected and that your design is ONLY associated with you. Expressive Compared to custom, expressive typography aims to convey a message rather than add to your personality. It emphasizes certain words or adds extra characters to add substance to the message that they’re imparting to the audience. Gradients with An Abstract Twist Even if this was stated in bold geometry, gradients with an abstract form are starting to take the graphic design community by storm. It allows you to look fun and professional at the same time. You’re playing with color transitions with shapes and blurs to enhance the perception of your market. This is effective in packaging design, PowerPoint presentations, and other social media like Instagram or Twitter posts. Aside from that, the allure of this technique is how calming it makes your chaotic color choice can be since it gives it a soft yet defined look that also directs the eyes to a visual hierarchy. Images in Motion GIFs have been around since 1987, but they are now getting the fame they deserve in 2023. Photos are great, but interactive ones are better. Aside from GIFs, videos are coming in hot with platforms and features from TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. The limit of 39 to 60 seconds can give your brand a creative and witty opportunity to turn spectators into avid customers. These short videos also allow you to show parts of your business that a photo can’t describe, which also acts as a connector to the diverse market that may want your product or service. Inclusiveness is Priority Discrimination, and a lack of awareness has always existed. But battling against those makes your business stand out amongst your competitors. Around 68% of consumers would decide to boycott or support brands based on their vocality on social issues. We’re diverse people, and catering to every single one is tricky. But putting in more effort to include the minority in our packaging, providing services, and social media interactions are great ways to foster inclusiveness. Photographic Allure Even if videos and GIFs are becoming the new norm, photographs are still a sure way for you to grab the attention of your market. Taking photos in real-time and appropriate to your message is more effective than stock images. Generic is gone, unique is in—utilize a mix of people, surroundings, and everyday items to aid in your brand looking more humane and personal. This method allows you to connect with your market deeply, which gains their appreciation and support. Revitalized Printing Techniques For 2023, three printing techniques will add that shimmer to your branding. Whether physically or digitally, you can use these prints to enhance your design and connect with your market the way you want. Foil Print Add some metallic accents to your design through foil printing. It gives the vibe of classy sophistication that customers love. Pair this print with line art or bold colors to bring out its full potential. Riso Print If you want an unconventional yet eye-catching design, riso print is for you. It’s characterized by vivid colors and calculated imperfections and appears translucent. Use this type if you want a poppy feel for your brand that focuses on the fun side. Sustainable Printing Lastly, we have an eco-friendly print. With the rise of climate change issues, ensure that your market sees you care about Earth by incorporating environmental themes into your design. Ragged Charm The unfinished design has charm; try it. In other terms, brutalism. This print gives you a bold, plain look that’s attention-grabbing despite its simplicity because of its rawness. Use this ONLY if you want to make a loud statement in the industry since this is not everyone’s cup of tea. Surreal Escapism The pandemic confined us in our confined spaces for quite a while. With that in mind, this design wants to break free from the conventional. As the name suggests, it’s a creative mix of themes that seem real but are an exaggeration of it with elements that distract from that reality. And without technological advances, escapism becomes our distraction from reality. Add those characteristics to your design, creating a futuristic and creatively inspired graphic. People will be baffled and delighted to see them. Vintage Illustrations Lastly, we have market-focused drawings with a nostalgic feel. Mix a retro color palette of bright lights and vivid colors with line art, and you have a graphic design trend in your design. Use this trend as an accent to direct the eyes of your market to what matters in your design. Dive into 2023 with These Graphic Design Trends! Did any of the trends catch your eye?

7 Finance AI and Machine Learning Use Cases	7 Finance AI and Machine Learning Use Cases	https://www.cprime.com	[ "Myriam Sanie" ]	... job opportunity · LeadershipGet to know our global ... There are tons of opportunities to use artificial intelligence technologies in financial services.	Finance AI technologies have changed the lives of millions of people worldwide by providing 24/7 access to bank accounts, professional support, and fast and easy operations with financial apps resulting from the implementation of artificial intelligence in finance. And now, the explosion in Generative AI has opened up new vistas for financial services organizations to explore. This article will outline the latest use cases of AI in finance and define the technical aspects of applying machine learning (ML) to the banking industry. Let’s start! Implementing AI Tech Solutions Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have brought huge changes to society, and the revolution is still ongoing. Initially, they affected the following five industries: Retail Finance Transportation Healthcare Advertising The banking, retail, and healthcare sectors have made the biggest investments in AI technology development. The aim of artificial intelligence technologies is to develop smart software solutions, technologies and machines that can perform actions and make decisions like humans. Artificial intelligence can learn, analyze, plan and carry out human functions. Furthermore, AI can improve itself without human help or developer efforts. It builds the model of behavior based on input data and its own experience. The development of AI brings incredible changes. One of the most important ways is that AI analyzes information, solves tasks and carries out operations more quickly than any human could. Technological Aspects of AI Artificial intelligence includes four main technological aspects. A few of them are sometimes considered to be synonyms for artificial intelligence. Artificial Intelligence is a broad field of computer science focused on creating systems capable of performing tasks that would normally require human intelligence. It’s important to recognize that the broad umbrella term “AI” encompasses far more than a few headline-grabbing apps. Machine learning , a subset of AI, involves algorithms that allow computers to learn from data, recognize complex patterns, and make informed decisions and even predictions. In combination with other powerful AI technologies, machine learning powers the most impressive modern examples of AI, such as facial recognition software and predictive analytics engines. Generative AI , another subfield, specializes in creating new data that is similar to the data it was trained on. It is especially known for natural language processing (NLP) which can power incredibly human-like chatbot technology. The best-known example is ChatGPT In the financial sector, these technologies are more than just innovative concepts; they are essential tools for survival and growth. They enable financial institutions to automate tasks, analyze large datasets, and offer personalized services, thus enhancing efficiency and customer satisfaction. AI in the Financial Sector According to the Cambridge Centre of Alternative Finance: 85% of financial services providers are currently using AI. 77% believe AI will be essential to their business within two years. 52% have created AI-enabled products and services. 50% see AI as a competitive threat. Ensuring data privacy and security within the banking industry is of utmost importance. Financial services executives have the ability to bolster customer data protection and improve operational efficiency by leveraging AI and machine learning in various ways: Leveraging machine learning algorithms to identify and thwart fraudulent activities and cyber threats Implementing biometrics and computer vision technologies to swiftly authenticate user identities and streamline document processing Incorporating intelligent solutions like chatbots and voice assistants to automate fundamental customer service tasks. Acting promptly and decisively in embracing these technologies is essential for banking leaders to stay ahead in a rapidly evolving landscape. Use Cases of AI in Financial Services Artificial intelligence for financial services automates processes and replaces human decision making. What does it mean for practitioners? Let’s do a review. Fraud Prevention Banks and financial organizations deal with huge volumes of personal data as well as people’s money. Fraud is the most dangerous thing in this industry: one mistake can lead to unbelievable losses, troubles and liabilities. When we speak about fraud, we mean credit card fraud, money laundering, and other forms of financial breaches. A key aim of AI in financial services is fraud detection. AI detects suspicious activities, provides an additional level of security and helps prevent fraud. In short, AI improves bank security. Trading Algorithms One of the common problems in trading is getting market analysis too late to take advantage of opportunities. AI finance tools can outperform human trades and bring faster and better decisions on trading. Also, the comprehensive analysis of different market aspects and factors allows banks to achieve new heights in trading algorithms. Nowadays, a lot of well-known hedge funds use AI for these purposes. The technology is quite popular for data science as it helps a company build its trading system. Risk Management Artificial intelligence in financial services makes a huge difference in investment management and risk analysis. AI can accurately estimate the client’s creditworthiness and answer the crucial question: is this person reliable? The AI-based system analyzes the risks by considering transaction and credit history, income growth, market conditions, etc. Predictive analytics provides considerable details on micro activities and behavior to determine if investments should occur. Similar abilities can be brought to bear on the insurance side as well, helping to support underwriting with fast, efficient analysis and decision making. Customer Service (Chatbots) Customers want to have a connection with their bank 24/7 (not a surpise). And finance AI technologies can assist with this by running chatbots. Banking services are enhanced by simulating a real conversation. Сhatbots in financial services using natural language processing technology answer customer queries in real-time and precisely. That means a lot of extra attention, new clients, and better conditions for the current ones. Robo-Advisory The considerable interest in passive investment makes fintech companies invest in AI solutions. Robo-advisory is based on providing recommendations based on investors’ individual goals and risk preferences. Finance AI automates the investment process so that the only thing investors need to do is deposit money into an account. The most significant benefit of using this tool is offering the ability for people not familiar with finance to make investments. You don’t need to do financial analysis to succeed in passive investment! And it is also cheaper for financial institutions to have robo-advisory than human asset managers. Regulations and Compliance A financial institution must comply with different laws and rules that are sometimes even hard to keep track of. Reports take too much time, and one tiny detail missed by a bank specialist may lead to minor complications or even serious problems. AI takes into account all the regulations, detects deviations, analyzes data and follows the rules accurately. Thanks to the complete automation of the processes, it is possible to avoid issues with the help of AI. Process Automation Artificial intelligence finance tools can offer massive support in process automation. There are a lot of tasks that are usually done manually by bank employees. For example, preparing documents or accessing information for clients. Everything can be done in a few minutes or hours with AI automation. Another example of process automation with AI is the ability to verify personal ID. You often need to submit your ID and take a photo of yourself to be confirmed as a user. AI can check the match between an ID and a picture while examining that the ID was not used for fraud. Final Thoughts There are tons of opportunities to use artificial intelligence technologies in financial services. All of them aim at the process of automation, improving the customer experience, and elimination of the necessity to involve human action and effort. AI-based tools for financial institutions can have a huge positive impact. But, there are challenges and roadblocks in the way as well. But don’t be frightened by the potential challenges. With knowledge and expert advice, you can reap the benefits of AI in financial services while avoiding the pitfalls.

Why internal search is crucial to large companies	Why internal search is crucial to large companies	https://www.sinequa.com	[]	With organizations worldwide embarking on their digital transformation journeys, they acquire a lot of data about their operations. Every digital workplace ...	Why create an internal search engine One of the main roadblocks to organizations’ digital transformation initiatives is data siloes. Businesses often use a lot of tools and solutions to store and process their data. And as discussed above, they also rely on many digital workplace platforms to communicate, collaborate, and organize their workflows. These solutions rarely work with each other and create separate datasets. Employees or stakeholders may have to go through these systems to find the information they need. Internal search solutions can break down these data siloes. It can aggregate and bring together structured and unstructured data from different solutions and make it more accessible. Internal search engines can also help businesses better leverage their data. While organizations often invest in building data analysis teams and tools, it’s difficult to extract the relevant data from their organizations. In many instances, businesses have to manually collect the data for analysis. With an internal search engine, analysts and data experts can easily look up the data they need. They can find patterns or trends in the client, better understand their customers, and use them to better position their business. Executive teams can also make better decisions in a short time with an internal search engine. They won’t have to raise a request for data and wait around for their team to find and deliver it.

Here’s what experts predict for 2023	https://www.sfchronicle.com	[ "Chase Difeliciantonio" ]	... AI is changing the city and the region.

CEO Larry Gadea (right), Jeremiah Johnson and Sarah Kelley, with her dog Pepper, work at Envoy’s headquarters in San Francisco. Envoy, a workplace software company, has employees back in the office three days per week. Salgu Wissmath / The Chronicle This time last year in the Bay Area, it seemed plausible that office buildings could become a relic of the past for thousands of workers, with many in tech and other remote-friendly industries comfortably ensconced in home offices after close to two years of pandemic living. But while the region’s office market is in a slump, some local companies and national surveys show it is increasingly common for workers to show up a few days a week, a trend that is likely to continue into 2023. More tech layoffs: Google cuts 12,000 jobs as global tech layoffs continue.

Salgu Wissmath/The Chronicle For the past six months or more, many companies that embraced remote work out of necessity have settled into a two-or-three-day-per-week, in-office rhythm that could play out in the long term. And while a scorching-hot labor market may have given some managers pause in the past about urging skilled tech workers back to their cubicles, lest they flee for more flexible work environments, recent layoffs in the industry have tamped down some of those concerns. So, experts said, remote working as it stands is likely to remain a feature of professional life for many in the Bay Area in 2023. As will the looming specter of layoffs, at least for the beginning of the year. “I think we’ve landed in a much better place. … It has been stable for the last six months,” said Nicholas Bloom, an economics professor at Stanford who studies remote working trends across the United States. Bloom’s latest research shows that around 30% of paid workdays are done from home in the U.S., half of what they were during the first year of the pandemic. And that number seems likely to stay the same into next year and the foreseeable future. Advertisement Article continues below this ad San Francisco office check-ins continue to hover around 40% of pre-pandemic levels, while San Jose is seeing a little over a third of offices occupied, according to data from Kastle Systems. That is comparable to Los Angeles, but well below other large metro areas like Dallas and Austin, where the numbers are a dozen percentage points higher — or more. CFO Sinohe Terrero and Executive Assistant Nicole Thayer meet at Enyoy’s S.F. offices. Salgu Wissmath / The Chronicle Earlier in the pandemic, “a lot of companies said we’ll have a three-two hybrid plan,” where workers come in on the days of their choosing and work from home two or three days a week, Bloom said. But that often created a host of problems, including people in the office struggling to collaborate over video or phone calls with those at home. Advertisement Article continues below this ad Nowadays, Bloom said people in professional and managerial roles tend to show up on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. “If you want to watch the World Cup or it’s cold outside, that’s not a reason to not turn up,” Bloom said. “The reason is, if you don’t show up, it affects everyone else.” One company that has slowly ramped up the number of days it is asking employees to be in the office is San Francisco software maker Envoy. CEO Larry Gadea said the SoMa company has experimented with letting employees pick some of their days in office, but plans to require people to be in person Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, starting in January. “The idea is to make things more consistent,” and to make it easier to know when other people and other teams will be there in-person to collaborate, Gadea said. “We’re trying to get ahead of what the rest of the world is doing.” The company’s software also captures hundreds of thousands of office check-ins weekly, and has found many metro areas are seeing increases in foot traffic compared with March 2020. Advertisement Article continues below this ad But companies aren’t making decisions about in-office time based strictly on worker happiness and retention, Bloom said. “This is not a social movement,” he said. “It makes firms money.” That is borne out in Bloom’s research, which has shown that workers value remote work roughly the same as an 8% pay raise on top of any cost-of-living raises they might get. Simply put, many companies would rather give people more flexibility than increase their pay by that much. Bloom’s research has also shown that workers are slightly more productive when given some days from home with the lack of a commute, and that the change makes it easier to diversify workforces and cuts down on the need for costly physical space. Advertisement Article continues below this ad “In a capitalist economy, anything that makes companies money tends to stick,” he said. Not everyone, however, is so sure that remote work will stay the way it is. Software maker Envoy has slowly increased the number of days it asks employees to be in the office. It will be three in January. Salgu Wissmath / The Chronicle That includes Julia Pollak, the chief economist at job site ZipRecruiter. She said that while the number of jobs advertising remote work has trended down on sites such as LinkedIn, that is “driven by a relative decline in tech job postings recently,” as opposed to a drawdown of remote work overall. She said about 11% of jobs on ZipRecruiter explicitly say they can be done remotely, compared with about 4% in 2019, and that about a quarter of all applications through the site currently go to those postings, many of which are for tech support, human resources and call-center jobs. Pollak also said, with the current economic downturn, that the site has seen more people searching for jobs every day instead of casually logging in a few times a month. Periodic surveys run by the company also show people are less likely these days to negotiate an offer and more likely to accept the first one they get — both signs of a continually darkening sky for the labor market. And while high-profile layoffs at Twitter, Meta, Amazon and other marquee Silicon Valley companies have grabbed headlines, Pollak said she doubts the worst of the job cuts are over. “January is the No. 1 month for layoffs each year,” she said, speaking in the middle of December. “I expect similar numbers, if not greater numbers, of tech layoffs in December and January before things start to get better.” Gadea at Envoy said his company of about 300 people doesn’t plan any layoffs at the moment, but the environment of rolling job cuts, particularly across the Bay Area tech industry, changes the calculus for companies pushing for more time in person. “I do think, these days, it is easier for companies to make harder decisions given the environment,” he said. “Companies are feeling a little more confident about making those decisions.” The current layoffs don’t equate to a death knell for remote work, though. Bloom pointed out that Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter coincided not only with a layoff of around half of the company, but his directive that the company’s work-from-anywhere-forever policy was over for good. When Musk sent out a now-infamous email to the remaining employees that they get on board with the new direction of the company, “so many people were resigning, he had to apparently reverse his policy,” Bloom said. And if an in-office die-hard like Musk, known for bragging about sleeping on office couches as a stand-in for a work ethic, can’t kick the remote work trend going forward, “most other firms won’t either,” Bloom said.	2022-12-25T00:00:00	2022/12/25	https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/tech-layoffs-remote-work-17674916.php	[ { "date": "2022/12/25", "position": 45, "query": "AI layoffs" } ]

Why has the NYC AI bias law been delayed?	Why has the NYC AI bias law been delayed?	https://www.welcometothejungle.com	[]	A new law in NYC will come into effect on April 15, 2023, requiring companies using automated employment decision tools to pass an audit for bias.	January 1st, 2023 was supposed to mark the start date of a groundbreaking new law. In an era when technology evolves so fast that governments can barely regulate it, the New York City Council managed to approve the world’s first legislation cracking down on the artificial intelligence used in recruitment and HR. It marked a monumental step towards corporate transparency and responsible AI. But on December 13th, the law was delayed. Now scheduled to come into force in April, Local Law 144 of 202 would bar companies from using any “automated employment decision tools” unless they pass an audit for bias. Any machine learning, statistical modeling, data analytics, or artificial intelligence-based software used to evaluate employees or potential recruits would have to undergo the scrutiny of an impartial, independent auditor to make sure they’re not producing discriminatory results. The audit would then have to be made publicly available on the company’s website. What’s more, the law mandates that both job candidates and employees be notified the tool will be used to assess them, and gives them the right to request an alternative option. To find out why the legislation was pushed back, and what’s at stake if the current version changes, we interviewed corporate-recruiter-turned-AI-ethicist Merve Hickok. A former HR executive for Fortune 500 companies, she left the business world to focus on human rights. She is the founder of AIethicist.org, a platform that provides curated research and reports on AI ethics, and co-founded the Center for AI and Digital Policy, an independent think tank. Involved since the very first draft, Hickok tells us why this law is so tricky to put in place, what she’s seen that’s worrying her, and how AI bias could have big consequences—good and bad—for equality in the job market. This interview was conducted prior to December 23rd, 2022, when a new version of the legislation was proposed by NYC’s Department of Consumer and Worker Protection. The public hearing for this draft is now scheduled for January 23rd, 2023. Could you tell me a bit about your professional background, what made you leave corporate recruiting for ethics, and what you’re working on now? I was in Human Resources for Merrill Lynch and Bank of America for many years. I held a number of senior HR positions: at Bank of America, I was responsible for diversity recruitment, benchmarking different recruitment technologies, etc., for almost 30 countries. As I was telling potential recruits about the different opportunities in investment banking, I was also hearing some of their obstacles when applying for these jobs. So that was kind of my ‘aha’ moment: “Okay, if you don’t do this stuff responsibly, you might actually be locking people out or putting extra obstacles in front of already disadvantaged communities.” Video interviewing technologies were literally just coming up. I realized that, for example, if you ask a candidate to do a video interview and record themselves, they might not have access to broadband internet, or a quiet room, or a camera. As I left, AI products started to become more prevalent, and these issues became more crucial and ubiquitous. How did bias in the recruitment process get worse with AI? Some AI recruitment products are launched without any scientific basis. And then some of them are developed without safeguards. There are many ways the recruitment process might be impacted by biased AI systems. For example, some of these AI models are programmed to detect certain keywords or combinations of words in the resumes, or in answers to the interview questions. You might have a very sophisticated or complex answer to an interview question. However, if the provided answer doesn’t meet the requirements of whatever the AI has been developed to detect, then your response will not be considered good enough. Alternatively, the system may scan your resume and not find those keywords; or the algorithm may make incorrect correlations between what skills are relevant for a specific role; or if a voice system is integrated, it could judge the pitch or tone of your voice based on what has been judged as “normal” in its system. I think if you went to an in-person interview and the recruiter told you they’re going to decide whether to hire you or not according to the pitch of your voice or the complexity of your words, you would have some issues with that. Such systems also don’t have good accuracy rates for people with accents, non-native speakers, or people with speech impairments … just like voice assistants. Another problem is the use of computer vision systems to recognize faces. Some pseudoscientific AI systems look at your facial structure, physical responses, etc., and make inferences about your character. To add to the insult, they often don’t recognize darker skin or females accurately, or they pick up noise (i.e. other background images) in the video. So you have these really pseudoscientific systems that are making judgments about you. Is AI bias more dangerous than a human recruiter’s bias? Yes and no. The good thing with AI is that you’re standardizing a process. You code something, and then that rule applies to everyone. However, there’s a big chance that the data and the code, which was created by humans, will be influenced by their bias. And then the code makes that biased decision on thousands and thousands of people. When it’s just human bias, there’s only so much damage you can do. If it’s two recruiters assessing resumes all day long, maybe they go through 100 candidates a day. You can run thousands of candidates in an AI system in a matter of minutes, if not seconds. So the scale and speed are very different. NYC’s new legislation was supposed to take effect on January 1st but has been moved to April 23rd. I’ve heard it’s because the legislation wasn’t clear enough for businesses to be able to comply with the law. In your experience, is this true? There are things to develop and clarify further. However, it’s nothing to keep this legislation from being delayed past April. There are many responsible vendors and employers. However, there are also a lot of businesses out there that do not want to be transparent about the specific outcomes of the AI systems that they use. One of the proposed rules was that employers need to publish the exact numbers of selection rates and impact ratios of different applicant groups. For example, this many Black vs. white candidates, or male vs female, have gone through the system, and how many people belonging to one of the groups were selected compared to another group. If the proposed rule went through, it would have meant that all these employers (those without a business necessity requiring them to select differently) would have to admit that they might not be hiring diversely. Or, if they were avoiding the questions until now about the AI systems they use, they now need to take action about it. My biggest concern is that some businesses will put a lot of pressure on the New York City Council to one, narrow the scope and application of the legislation and two, remove some of the transparency requirements. *You can read all the comments submitted to the New York City Department of Consumer and Worker Protection on the proposed law by advocates, businesses, and industry groups here. What do you think are the most important updates this legislation needs? Definitely making sure that, as proposed, the results are transparent. And second, that the audits be conducted independently. So, right now, because there isn’t any established audit ecosystem, a lot of the companies are going out to different vendors who identify themselves as auditors. Some of them are going to their internal audit department. Some of them are going to their lawyers. So that independence needs to be clear. Are there enough independent auditors out there for these businesses to use? No. Because there is no existing legislation on bias audits. However, disparate impact analysis [a calculation measuring if selection procedures disproportionately exclude persons based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin] is not new. It’s been around for decades. It has always been something organizations conducted themselves. If this legislation passes as it’s written right now, and all these companies suddenly need independent auditors, do you think it would spur the growth of a whole new industry? Yes. But is there, in New York City, a license or a permit for auditing bias in tech? Right now, there is not. That’s why everyone is defining bias audit as it aligns with their perspectives—some very narrowly, and some vendors asking more in-depth, more responsible questions. There’s a great organization called For Humanity, which is trying to build that ecosystem of independent audits for AI systems and asking: “What should be the widely accepted audit criteria? What should the auditors’ certification look like? What should the independence criteria—in terms of remuneration, number of clients, conflict of interest, and code of ethics—look like? How should the auditor report? In your opinion, what should constitute an audit for AI bias? The data, the algorithms, and the organizational decisions that went into it. First, there needs to be an audit making sure the data that you build your algorithm on is not biased to start with. And is reflective of the context that you’re deploying it in, and of the population that you’re applying it to. So, for example, if you build your algorithm using a population in, I don’t know, Texas, you cannot use that same training set in Belgium or Italy. Those labor forces are different. The models [the way an algorithm is programmed] should also be audited. What decisions are made in the model? What is the accuracy rate? What design decisions went into it? Are the outcomes fairly distributed or does the model produce biased outputs for different groups? The third piece is: who made the decisions? Was the team that developed the AI model diverse? How do employers notice and manage emerging risks in the system? Have the recruiters been trained on how to use the system properly, so they’re not just taking everything at face value? Do you think most of the big AI recruiting software out there would pass your ideal audit? No. A handful would. But there is a lot of benefiting from the vacuum of oversight and lack of regulation on this. If the scope of the law and transparency requirements are narrowed, that can create less-than-ideal audit practices, and that is not conducive to anyone—employers, vendors, candidates—in the long run. We need both employers and vendors to act responsibly and raise the bar for responsible innovation. This benefits employers and vendors immensely in the long run—with their diversity, profits, and brand. What are some of the changes you think job seekers will feel if the proposed changes go into effect? You can see what kind of employer you’re facing. What the hiring practices of your employer are. You can see the data, how they make decisions and, if the results are significantly biased, how are they mitigating that. As a candidate, you’ll have a better chance to prepare yourself for the recruitment process and be better informed about what decisions go into the process. Some people say that, with audits, AI has the potential to get rid of human bias in the hiring process and make the whole recruiting system more fair. Do you think that’s true? I don’t know at 100%, but it does provide that auditable trail and traceability. You can go back and look at what kind of rules were applied to assess candidates and fix that. You can go back, look at the audit trail, look at the model, and kind of reverse engineer it and fix it, make it less biased. So at least you have that audit trail and the decisions are more clear. You can’t really have that with humans to the same degree. Obviously, this comment excludes pseudoscientific AI systems which should not exist in the first place. Anything else you want to add? I want to make something really clear: this New York City law is the first legislation of its kind. It’s the first jurisdiction mandating an AI bias audit in the world. There are a lot of states, cities, and countries looking at this as a possible example. If this works in New York City, it could be adopted in other jurisdictions. So if certain parties manage to narrow the scope of the law and water it down to a useless case, that could have a cascading impact on a bigger level. Yes, this law can be improved significantly but I think the New York City Council has a great, great opportunity to be a pioneer in the world and lead this effort.

Seven Non-Technical Enterprise AI Career Paths	Seven Non-Technical Enterprise AI Career Paths	https://emerj.com	[]	This article provides essential criteria for a team of seven core non-technical roles key to driving successful enterprise AI deployments.	Relying entirely on consultants or vendors is not a viable strategy – as AI adoption inherently involves new capabilities to be built up within the company, both technical and non-technical. The only reason a company would put AI technical development and implementation entirely in the hands of a vendor is ignorance of how AI works. Whether you’re an enterprise professional interested in growing your career in AI skills or a business leader trying to understand the first steps to build an early adoption team at your organization, this article provides essential criteria for a team of seven core non-technical roles key to driving successful enterprise AI deployments: AI Strategist AI Opportunity Spotter Functional Subject Matter Expert AI Project Manager AI Educator AI Trainer AI Training Orchestrator We will begin by explaining how these roles develop within organizations from non-technical contexts. In other words, these are typically leaders and other subject matter experts who are unfamiliar with code. However, they must be familiar enough with true AI capabilities in fundamental capacities we will explain before describing our criteria. The Necessity of Non-Technical Leadership This takes us to the crux of the challenge of AI adoption in business – that business leaders, managers and team members don’t understand: How AI works, including basic terminology. AI use-case familiarity – including what our competitors are doing and what AI is capable of more broadly. Practical insights on AI adoption – project lifecycle, familiarity with adoption challenges and beyond. We refer to these three competence areas as the context for non-technical professionals. A firm grounding in these competence areas is required for leadership to lead AI initiatives successfully. These competence areas also make long-term AI strategies impossible to develop. With a long-term strategy, an expensive and lengthy investment in AI is unlikely to occur. What organizations need to cultivate – through either training, networking, or hiring – are non-technical staff who understand how AI works and where it makes sense to apply. Their awareness of these operations away from coding expertise makes them critical catalysts for AI adoption. At Emerj, we believe that AI-savvy non-technical talent is a crucial aspect of developing a foundation for AI – one of the “Critical Capabilities” that any company must develop to see a strong ROI from AI efforts. Highlighted in the diagram below are some of the most essential functions for non-technical professionals. We map the range of non-technical AI-related roles into seven general categories, spanning three levels of focus: Each role category contains a focus and requirement, broadly categorized into three distinct categories. Strategic roles: Focused chiefly on long-term planning, company vision, and orchestrating high-level initiatives. Require an understanding of how AI can enable advantages in the marketplace. Practical roles: Focused on running AI projects on the ground level. Require a conceptual understanding of how AI projects work. Manual roles: Focus on handling the data, helping data scientists iterate and accessing data and tools for the AI project. Require an understanding of data and subject matter and an ability to communicate and collaborate with data scientists. While all roles blur the lines between strategic, practical, and manual to a degree, some roles cross the boundaries significantly, and our research indicates that with the overlap of some of the job roles in the graphic above. Each description below includes a list of the role responsibilities and the “Critical Context” – or core non-technical AI knowledge or skills – that each requires in the team dynamic. Reviewing these roles should help you to determine the high-leverage opportunities for your own skills, but they should also help you flesh out the necessary supporting team for a successful AI initiative. 1. AI Strategist Responsibilities – Can see how new AI-based business models shape the division, then the company. The role already fits within existing strategic and competitive priorities for the organization. Plays a significant role in deploying capital and resources to critical AI projects and initiatives. Ensures a unified effort around AI initiatives focusing on building Critical Capabilities and is involved in the AI Center of Excellence if one exists. Critical Context – Understands and detects AI trends in the market. This role must gauge the viability of different AI opportunities of application ideas with reasonable accuracy. Has a strong understanding of the complex AI adoption process and the right expectations for the required projects and resources. Views AI as a strategic investment in Critical Capabilities that establish new, company-wide, data-informed functions. Role Variations – Company-wide strategy: This role could be the CEO, or it could be a specific role like a “Chief Data Officer” or “Chief AI Officer.” Function-specific strategy: This role could be a functional leader of a department, such as a Head of Marketing or Director of eCommerce, or a specific role like “AI Marketing Lead.” 2. AI Opportunity Spotter Responsibilities – Finds relevant opportunities to apply AI or to improve existing AI systems. Critical Context – A basic understanding of AI use cases, combined with subject-matter expertise within their department or function. A basic understanding of how AI works and the requirements to initiate an AI project. Role Variations – Can range from a front-line employee, a manager or at the VP level. Their AI understanding can be a reason they are tasked with finding AI opportunities to suggest to AI Strategists or AI Project Managers. 3. Functional Subject-Matter Expert Responsibilities – To collaborate with data scientists and data science leaders in order to prepare data, understand the business problem, and work together to iterate and evaluate the outcomes of models. Critical Context – Strong subject-matter expertise. Having functional subject-matter experts on AI project teams is a must. A functional understanding of AI terminology and how AI works. Role Variations – Expertise can range from very senior to relatively junior individual. Must have a strong enough understanding of the business and business process to help data scientists understand the specific business context. This person should be mandated to be part of the cross-functional AI team as part of their day-to-day work instead of throwing this additional responsibility on as a “nice to have.” 4. AI Project Manager Responsibilities – Manages cross-functional AI teams of data scientists and functional subject-matter experts, along with potential AI trainers. In charge of the day-to-day management of tasks and workflows. Work closely with AI strategists and senior leadership to communicate project status Ensures that projects are being executed in a way most likely to bring about the intended business outcome or improvement. Critical Context – Must have a deep understanding of the importance of cross-functional AI teams and must be able to communicate well with functional subject-matter experts and data scientists. Must understand how AI projects work and what an AI initiative involves – in addition to what kinds of challenges might be expected to come up and how to overcome them. Strong understanding of AI terminology. Role Variations – While this person could be an existing project manager within the company, the role of AI project manager is unique in many regards, and it is likely that this role will develop into a unique number of full-time positions, as opposed to an add-on role for an existing project manager. In time, most project managers involved in technical projects will require these skills as AI becomes integrated into more and more aspects of the company. Potentially has authority to pull in or request necessary staff required for the project. 5. AI Educator Responsibilities – Brings subject-matter experts and senior leadership up the speed on data science principles, including: (a) how AI works (b) basic AI use cases. Interfaces with data science lead and AI project management leads in order to capture lessons learned in applying AI within the organization and develop best practices and training protocols. Critical Context – Must have a strong understanding of all three areas of what we at Emerj call Critical Context: How AI works, including basic terminology. AI use-case familiarity, or what our competitors are doing, and what AI is capable of broadly. P ractical insights on AI adoption, such as project lifecycle, familiarity with adoption challenges, etc. Above all, the AI educator must be able to distill and communicate these points to colleagues in succinct formats. Role Variations – This would almost certainly be its own role or title rather than an add-on to an existing “Training” role within the company. Gathering and understanding internal AI lessons while building an AI curriculum with training material will require a dedicated focus on AI applications. An AI educator cannot be a member of the current staff sent to a few AI events and told to watch a few internet videos on AI. 6. AI Trainer Responsibilities – Consistently guide algorithms by labeling or providing data. Handle edge cases that a machine learning model is unsure about – ie. In customer service, categorizing email support requests (as “refund request,” “product inquiry,” etc.) that a machine was unable to label confidently based on previous training. Perform repeatable tasks within a bounded workflow in order to consistently provide or enrich data. Critical Context – Low-context AI trainers need relatively little context compared to most other roles. High-context AI trainers often must understand the purpose of the training and have a fundamental grasp of how AI works in order to actively participate as part of a cross-functional AI team. Role Variations – Low-context examples : Uber’s drivers are helping to train its self-driving cars. Facebook hires thousands of low-cost staff to screen for offensive or violent content to update its screening algorithms. High-context example: A medical diagnostics company may need PhDs to label X-ray scans as cancerous or benign based on the context of their past health history and information from their medical records. 7. AI Training Orchestrator Responsibilities – Interfaces with AI strategists, senior leadership, data science lead, and AI project managers in order to determine the kind of ongoing data collection or data enrichment needs of the business. Building work structures and work environments (physical or digital) to allow AI trainers to provide or enrich the kind of data the company needs. Ensuring data accuracy and usefulness, monitoring and managing AI trainers, and the features and value of the data they contribute to. Critical Context – Needs to have a strong understanding of the nuanced data requirements of the project. Strong understanding of business requirements and ability to communicate with data scientists and business leaders in order to ensure the quality and consistency of the data pipeline.

(© Photo by Viacheslav Lakobchuk on Adobe Stock) Megatrend A Megatrend is a long-term driving force that is observable now and will continue to have a global impact in years to come The transformational forces of technology, globalisation and socio-economic uncertainties due to the multiple crises (pandemic, war, climate change) are all impacting work and employment. New generations entering the workforce, older generations working for longer, and the ‘baby-boomer’ generation retiring are collectively changing the landscape. Work is increasingly flexible and decentralised. At the same time a structural mismatch in some sectors is revealing an increasing skills shortage. Automation and other technological advancements are creating unprecedented challenges and opportunities, and have the potential to further substitute for both routine and cognitive tasks, while at the same time increasing the need for new (technical) skills. The shift in occupational structures (e.g. the increasing gig economy) is leading to polarisation in employment, wages and inequalities. The employment landscape is evolving differently across the EU, with the divide across Member States remaining large. The types of jobs that are predicted to grow in the EU by 2030 are those that require higher education, social and digital skills. The reliance on labour tax to fund social protection will come into question, as the working population in the EU ages, automation increases and more flexible employment models gain ground. From remote work policies to ‘virtual leadership’, the pandemic changed how we work. The opportunity to telework increased for some - such as knowledge workers - but not for frontline workers. Among the benefits are an improved work-life balance for some, as well as changed attitudes to well-being. Teleworking can lead to higher productivity and lower operating costs for companies (shrinking offices). However, there are risks for workers, such as increasing social isolation, burnout, the development of unhealthy habits and increasing inequalities, also regarding career progression. The European Green Deal aims to trigger a transformation of the way we live, work, and produce in the EU and society is increasingly driving sustainable forms of value creation. Generation Z (i.e. born from the late ‘90s onwards) have grown up immersed in technology and at a time of interconnected crises, and they will bring their own ideas to work. This Megatrend is part of the Megatrends Hub Timeline The driving forces of the Megatrend change over time. This timeline indicates more established and newer trends that are influencing the future direction of the Megatrend Trends They indicate a direction of change in values and needs which is driven by forces and manifests itself already in various ways within certain groups in society. The digital transformation/technological revolution is causing significant changes in the world of work. New technologies will reshape millions of jobs in the EU and some jobs are at risk of being lost to machines. Others are being transformed and new ones are being created. As a result, the skills needed are changing. Work through digital platforms affects working patterns and workers’ rights. This trend is reinforced by the main streaming of big data and AI optimisation of processes. The new information age calls for a reorganisation of work that suits the way people live in a networked society. This implies more agile projects conducted by the most skilled collaborators, regardless of their location, or by innovative small business entrepreneurs - all seizing the opportunity to be part of the green and digital transitions. The future of work is not only digital and green, but also purposeful. These three trends reinforce one another and contribute to creating a workplace where employees feel engaged and value their contribution towards a future that is in line with their values and attitudes, and supportive of their well-being.

FinTech Workforce: Level Up Skills with Learning & ...	FinTech Workforce: Level Up Skills with Learning & Development!	https://www.hurix.com	[ "Julia Suk" ]	In addition to this, new areas like data analytics, machine learning, and business intelligence require more sophisticated skills and learning tools.	With the increasing numbers of FinTech startups, there is a growing demand for FinTech industry entities to be competitive and to offer more advanced products and services. Workforce learning and development comes as a multi-faceted solution in this regard. Digital progress has led to more sophisticated projects and offerings for customers. According to PwC, 66% of customers expect financial institutions to digitize all aspects, including customer interaction, sales, and service, by 2025. However, a major gap in the FinTech industry is the lack of sufficient training and tech talent. Workforce learning and development has emerged as a key requirement for the industry. So why should the FinTech industry leverage workforce learning and development? Here are 5 reasons why. 1. Increased Demand Due to Rapid Industry Growth The rapid growth of the FinTech industry has led to an increased demand for skilled and competent professionals. According to Research and Markets, the FinTech market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 26.87% by 2026. Technological advancement and innovation have led to a need for more refined skills and tech learning. The demand for tech competence is leading to an increased need for workforce development. Positions in different areas like software development, artificial intelligence, and data analytics require improved workforce training. In response to new market trends, employers must offer learning solutions to meet the need for new workforce skills. Apart from the growing number of FinTech startups, banks, financial institutions, and financial organizations are also increasingly going digital and looking to advance and expand their technical capacities. The total value of digital transactions is projected to go up to $8.49 trillion by the end of 2022. As financial services and products shift to the digital arena, finance professionals increasingly require specialized digital financial learning. 2. Retaining and Attracting Talent Since the pandemic, there has been a rising trend of employee departures and shifts in employment. This trend has affected several industries, including the FinTech industry. The growing number of FinTech companies has added to this since it led to increased demand for tech employees. Banks and financial organizations faced issues retaining employees as multiple tech employees found more attractive openings in FinTech companies. Due to the increased pressure to find ways to retain employees, financial and Fintech employers need to incentivize and encourage employees by offering scope for training and development. Offering employees training, learning, and development opportunities is a great way to encourage them to stay on. Due to continuously advancing technologies and digital tools, the workforce in the Fintech industry can particularly benefit from training and development. Offering continuous scope for workforce learning is a great way to retain and attract tech talent in a competitive industry where technical skills are important. 3. New Roles and Internal Mobility Internal mobility is an important factor in banks and financial institutions. According to an Ernst & Young report, internal mobility plays a key role in retaining employees. Internal mobility refers to shifting employees from one department to another. This is leveraged by financial organizations to retain talent and motivate employees to continue and move into different roles. Since it is increasingly difficult to find new talent due to the growing positions available for FinTech employees, banks and financial organizations are looking at cultivating talent within, along with internal mobility, retraining, and reskilling current employees to step into open roles. In addition to this, new areas like data analytics, machine learning, and business intelligence require more sophisticated skills and learning tools. However, according to a study by Capgemini, more than half of tech employees say that the training programs at their workplace are not effective. Given that new and upcoming areas require more advanced skills, it is all the more integral for FinTech businesses to offer improved learning and development capacities. This also enables your business to save on additional expenses and time incurred in finding and hiring new employees. Employee replacement affects the regular continuance of work. Frequent changes can also impact the rest of the team, who have to cover for others until a replacement is found. Reducing employee turnover and promoting internal talent can be good ways to prevent this. Additionally, training a new employee from scratch can be costly and time-consuming compared to upskilling existing employees. 4. Fintech Skills Need Specialised Training Digital skills for Fintech require specialized training and are not easy to learn on the job. Given that Fintech roles and areas are constantly growing, it is highly likely that employees will need to train and learn new skills. Whether it is a new role they are joining or a current position requiring new skills, training and development are integral to workforce growth. Additionally, FinTech learning requires digital technologies for employees to integrate the material. If the training is not engaging or interactive, employees are more likely to find it uninteresting and less likely to absorb the material. Given that the roles require continuous development, your business or organization should offer engaging workforce learning and development facilities to support better work functions and employee performance. 5. Onboarding and Training The onboarding process plays an important role in integrating employees and sets the basis for their position at the company. In FinTech, onboarding and training new employees is particularly important because of the multiple skills and technical nuances that recruits have to learn. The new candidate is unlikely to be fully equipped for the role from scratch, particularly because of unique system functions. As a part of the onboarding process, your FinTech business or organization needs to train employees to work on systems in place. This helps familiarize them with the technology and processes involved. It also prevents inefficiencies and errors that can occur due to differences between the systems the employee has experience working on. This is where workforce training and learning systems can play a critical role right from the start. Summing Up Workforce learning and development play an integral role in retaining and attracting talent. In the FinTech industry, workforce skill-building, training, and learning systems are particularly important due to the reasons given above. Hurix offers learning management systems and training technologies along with other e-learning tools. Adopting and implementing these digital solutions will help your business train and develop its workforce. It will also enable your business to impart key learning and industry skills in a visually engaging and instructive way.

How Much Does It Cost To Develop AI Healthcare Software	How Much Does It Cost To Develop AI Healthcare Software	https://www.businesswaretech.com	[]	The price of a whole custom AI system might range from US$20,000 to US$1,000,000. The cost of a minimal viable product (MVP) ranges from US$8,000 to US$15,000.	What affects the price of AI healthcare solutions? The cost of any custom AI system highly depends on multiple factors, and need to be calculated individually for each project. What aspects affect how much AI healthcare solutions cost? The Kind Of AI Solution You Want To Develop It's worthwhile to do some market research before embarking on a custom AI journey to see if there are any existing applications that do exactly what you require. This might save you time and money if an AI solution you need is already on the market. Although ready-made AI solutions are often not appropriate for application in healthcare, they do present the possibility to create a hybrid system. As opposed to attempting to design the technology from scratch, you might, for instance, leverage an existing product as the foundation for your own solution. Your timeframes and expenses are reduced significantly with such a structure. It's crucial to keep in mind that AI refers to a wide range of applications. The cost of the solution is significantly influenced by the kind of application you intend to create. A Google search engine, for instance, uses AI to search the internet for the most relevant results. While still AI, a computer vision system that detects malignant tumors in CT images is much more sophisticated and has entirely different specifications. Costs can vary greatly due to the variety of solutions available. Requirements And Team Composition The team and resources needed to develop an AI solution will vary depending on the kind of AI solution you choose. Every endeavor fundamentally requires engineers and data scientists. How many of each you need will depend on the scale of the project, which will also have an impact on how much artificial intelligence system development will cost. The daily charge for these specialized resources might range from $550 to $1,100 depending on their seniority and skill set. A software engineer will also be required for custom AI solutions to assist in creating apps, dashboards, and interfaces for your solution integrations. The daily cost of filling the position ranges from $600 to $1500. Companies typically hire a project manager or scrum master to assist communication if they want a particular project to function successfully. Depending on experience and team size, costs might range from $1200 to $4600 a month. In-house Developers Or Software Development Outsourcing Having your AI and data team in-house rather than working with an outsourcing agency has benefits and drawbacks. In-house development, launch, maintenance, and updates for your AI system are managed by your team, as opposed to outsourcing those tasks to a software development company. Developers make about $80,000 a year on average, while data scientists make $94,000. Additional expenses include hiring and training expenditures, estimated to be around $15,000. Your technology partner manages the creation and administration of the solution when you outsource to an agency. Because you don't have to pay for all the in-house hiring expenses, it usually costs less than in-house management. With most agencies, you just pay a time and material cost, and they handle everything else. In addition, the team has experience in the relevant area and can put together a dedicated team for your project. There is no commitment to long-term employment contracts if your projects are on the smaller side. Healthcare Data Without data, an AI platform cannot function. Any computer vision project highly depends on a well-balanced dataset to achieve high detection accuracy. In order for the AI to be effective, the dataset must include thousands of images, containing all image types. For example, if a system has to detect tumors, the dataset must include images of both healthy scans and those that contain different types of tumors. Computer vision software cannot make appropriate conclusions without a massive supply of high-quality data to train on, and small datasets will always result in poor recognition quality, resulting in incorrect diagnosis. Any AI technology must undergo training before being put into use. The cost of developing AI will be lower for a company that has access to a large volume of clean, high-quality data. When that isn't the case, you'll need to use resources to clean up your data, modify it, and train the appropriate models that you can then use with your AI solution. Data manipulation takes up about 45% of the data scientists’ time. Project Scope As AI projects evolve and expand, it’s more challenging to provide accurate cost estimates. Complex AI systems could require multiple stages and numerous employees to work on them. For example, suppose you need to put together a dataset, create a strategy, develop a minimum viable product (MVP), spend time testing it, develop a full-fledged solution, and maintain the product. In that case, the project can take years to roll out. Instead of reducing the scope of the project, duration can be accounted for as a cost factor. An advisor or data science partner can advise how to prioritize work. A good software outsourcing company can help you define the priorities.	2022-12-26T00:00:00		https://www.businesswaretech.com/blog/how-much-does-it-cost-to-develop-ai-healthcare-software	[ { "date": "2022/12/26", "position": 45, "query": "AI healthcare" } ]

The AI Inflection Point - Joe Dwyer	The AI Inflection Point	https://www.joedwy.com	[]	When AI is better, faster, and cheaper at most knowledge and social tasks, displaced jobs may very well be replaced by AI, not new human jobs. Meanwhile, the ...	AI is at an inflection point. It can now design, create, persuade, and more. What does this mean? How disruptive will this be? AI-based disruptors such as ChatGPT are at an inflection point. What are the implications for incumbents? Investors? Entrepreneurs? Asset allocators? On November 30, 2022, OpenAI launched a new version of ChatGPT, which has captivated millions of users. It’s a leading example of Generative AI, a category that is going to fundamentally transform our society and our economy. Read on for a discussion of what, why, and how. Summary Machines continue to increase the scope of analytical tasks they perform better, faster, and cheaper than humans. Now they’ve come for our creative capabilities—writing, problem solving, art, photography, design, research, and more. And they’re quickly making inroads on social skills. In many cases, they’re already as good as—or better than—most of us. As Manifold partner John Sviokla pointed out in 2020, we’re entering the Bionic Era, a sort of new Industrial Revolution. Except this time it’s not just about labor automation—it’s about computability, the automation of knowledge work.1 Our world is quickly becoming “computable.” Work and play will be transformed. As with prior technological waves, jobs will be displaced, incumbents will be replaced, and new industries will be created. But there’s a chance—and some evidence—that this time the disruption will be much more far reaching. When AI is better, faster, and cheaper at most knowledge and social tasks, displaced jobs may very well be replaced by AI, not new human jobs. Meanwhile, the scope of labor automation will expand as AI and robotics continue to advance. The implications of this are hard to overstate. It’s almost certain that we’re facing a period of turbulent change and emergent paradigms. It’s quite possible that the upcoming creative destruction will exceed anything anyone has seen before. Let’s explore what this means for incumbents, investors, and entrepreneurs. What’s happening? The concept of artificial intelligence has been around for decades. And although “true” AI (Artificial General Intelligence, or AGI) has yet to arrive, advances in Analytical and Generative AI suggest that we’re in the very early stages of a steep inflection point. AI or Artificial Intelligence is technically a misnomer, and those in the industry often use more specific terms such as ML (Machine Learning) or D&A (Data & Analytics) instead. When AI is used, it’s a shorthand for convenience or so as not to confuse people. If you’re seeing a lot of chatter about AI right now, it’s likely due to recent developments2 in Generative AI that are capturing the imagination of many early adopters. The writing and images being generated represent shocking advances in capabilities over the past few years. It might be easy to dismiss this all as a distraction, but that would be a mistake. Analytical AI has begun to transform jobs and industries. But now machines have come for the jobs that require creativity, problem solving, and social skills. In some cases, they’re already as good as—or better than—most of us. And the implications for our economy and society are staggering. In 2013, researchers estimated that 47% of jobs were at risk due to AI over time, but that “creative intelligence tasks, and social intelligence tasks are unlikely to be substituted by computer capital over the next decade or two.” 3 I present for your enjoyment the following images, which were created entirely by AI. Each was created in moments, simply by typing descriptive words into an AI image creator. The following were all created in seconds entirely by Generative AI tools It’s not (at all) limited to 2D images, either. How about this NeRF scene built in real time from four partial images: A navigable 3D scene created in seconds from four partial images The scene can be instantly navigated in 3D, and includes many details that were not featured in the images it was built upon—AI interpolated and recreated everything that was necessary. And then there’s Cicero, developed by Meta AI, which has achieved 90th percentile human level performance in the game of Diplomacy, which requires deep interpersonal, social, and negotiation skills.4 “Diplomacy has been viewed for decades as a near-impossible grand challenge in AI because it requires players to master the art of understanding other people’s motivations and perspectives; make complex plans and adjust strategies; and then use natural language to reach agreements with other people, convince them to form partnerships and alliances, and more. CICERO is so effective at using natural language to negotiate with people in Diplomacy that they often favored working with CICERO over other human participants.” 5 [emphasis added] Or Pluribus, which can consistently beat the best poker players in the world despite the complexities of bluffing and incomplete information.6 And here’s OpenAI’s ChatGPT7 adroitly explaining three different categories of AI: “Reactive AI is the most basic type of artificial intelligence, which focuses on reacting to stimuli in the environment without the ability to form memories or make decisions based on past experiences. This type of AI is often used in simple applications that require fast responses but do not need the ability to learn or adapt.” “Analytical AI, also known as cognitive computing or computational cognition, is a branch of artificial intelligence that focuses on developing algorithms and systems that can process, analyze, and understand complex data in order to make decisions, solve problems, and perform other tasks that typically require human-like intelligence. This type of AI is often used in applications such as natural language processing, computer vision, and decision-making systems.” “Generative AI is a type of artificial intelligence that focuses on generating new content, such as images, text, or music, based on a set of input data. This is typically done using machine learning algorithms, such as deep learning neural networks. The way generative AI works is by training a model on a large dataset of existing content, which allows the model to learn the patterns and characteristics of the data.” And if that’s not enough, how about this verse written in the style of the King James Bible explaining how to remove a peanut butter sandwich from a VCR: I’m sorry, I simply cannot be cynical about a technology that can accomplish this. pic.twitter.com/yjlY72eZ0m — Thomas H. Ptacek (@tqbf) December 2, 2022 And there’s already so much more: software code, articles, research papers, music, speech, designs, molecules, and more. The Bionic Era Manifold Partner John Sviokla described the Bionic Era in his 2020 article: “We are in a new era, which I call the Bionic Era, and it’s as powerful and pervasive as the industrial era before it. In the bionic era, we have a new blend of people and machines both doing and thinking together. Where the industrial era automated physical work, the bionic era automates symbolic work – thinking, perceiving and judging, blending with the advances of the industrial era in a dynamic and powerful way.” 1 [emphasis added] He described the increasing variety of activities becoming “computable.” What’s key about Generative AI is that it dramatically expands the range of what is “computable” to include much of what knowledge and creative workers have traditionally done. Claude Shannon developed Information Theory in the late 1950s, which describes information as the opposite of entropy: the reduction of uncertainty.8 Explaining the possibilities of AI from this perspective, it’s natural to think of AI as part of a bionic symbiosis with humans. But because AI can be layered, integrated into decision making systems, and incorporated into hardware, it’s also potentially much more than bionic. It can increasingly function independently, affecting the world around it both directly and indirectly. That means we might be in a very different place than prior eras of creative destruction. Instead of merely displacing human jobs, there’s a good chance AI might permanently destroy them. And yet deep challenges remain The current manifestations of AI have weaknesses. Some are deeply flawed. And our society may not be entirely prepared for AI, or at least it may not desire to be. To put it simply, generative AI is not quite ready for mainstream use. Legal uncertainties, inconsistent quality, and improper use conspire to limit the breadth of use likely for the very near term. Here are some of the most important weaknesses and barriers to AI performance and adoption. Training data, copyright, and questions of fair use. Creatives whose work is being emulated have complained that GAI isn’t creative: it’s just copying—regurgitating pieces and parts of things that it “stole” from humans. But that’s not a fair description. The “parts” involved are concepts, rules, and styles and not a collage of prebuilt parts. Even when GAI produces stock photo watermarks, it’s because they were trained to reproduce them. The underlying images are new, and not copies of an existing image. Explore the way generative AI works, and it’s clear that it creates novel outputs informed by prior styles and themes—but nonetheless new.9 And that’s how the vast majority of human creativity works. The origin of the quote “good artists borrow; great artists steal” itself10 lays bare the truth of how we layer creativity: the origins are layered and muddy, demonstrating layers of building upon pre-existing concepts that culminated in the current version. It’s difficult to determine the ethical approach to AI appropriation of styles or content elements. From a practical perspective, the use of copyrighted works for AI training purposes is likely covered by the fair use doctrine in the US, although even that isn’t entirely clear. The reproduction of works that closely resemble copyrighted works is far more fraught with risk. Implicit bias AI reproduces biases found in its training sets. So, if you ask for an image of a teacher, the results will almost certainly feature a woman. Ask for a doctor, and you’ll get a man. Virtually all of the biases you can think of tend to manifest in the outputs created by Generative AI. And this is particularly challenging for the current state-of-the-art AI because it’s often difficult to understand the source being used to generate content. As a result, bias can be hard to trace, track, and identify. GAI can be convincingly wrong, or quality can be inconsistent Generated images sometimes look awkward, and human hands often come out disfigured or with an incorrect number of digits. ChatGPT sometimes happily asserts patently incorrect facts or logic. And its writing tends to be somewhat bland, with an intangible artificial feel. There’s also a very valid question about the level and nature of creativity exhibited by GAI. At present, it certainly seems that GAI is capable of Improbable Creativity, but much less clear (and less likely) that it’s currently capable of Impossible Creativity. The former involves “improbable combinations of familiar ideas,” while the latter requires “novel ideas that, relative to the pre-existing conventions of the domain” could not exist.9 And yet, Stephen Marche argues in The Atlantic that ChatGPT’s writing is “frankly better than the average MBA at this point.”11 The image generators are wildly better than the average human at generating art and photos. And they’re far faster and more flexible than any human artist. Prompting, awkward interfaces Generative AI is another instance of “letting the lunatics run the asylum” as I like to say: let the engineers and data scientists build it, and it’s likely to have an awkward and overly technical interface. That’s certainly true for much of GAI at this time. Rendering high quality images requires careful prompting, to the point that certain people are describing themselves as “prompt engineers.” That’s something that will likely resolve itself naturally, but in the meantime will serve as friction for broader adoption. Access to data for training Most Generative AI relies on massive data sets. ChatGPT, for example, uses a Large Language Model (LLM). While there’s certainly diminishing returns at a certain point, these models still require fantastic amounts of inputs to be useful. Finding appropriate, clean, and tagged data that can be appropriately used will certainly limit progress in the near term. Terrorism and anarchy If you know how to circumvent certain filters (it’s not difficult), you can get ChatGPT to tell you how to make bombs or hot wire a car. It can even tell you how to wage a successful terror campaign or build biological weapons. While this information in the end came from existing public sources, the accessibility and clarity of its delivery through ChatGPT certainly presents challenges for our society. Explicit content, child pornography, and deep fakes Generative AI can be quite easily used for deeply inappropriate purposes. It’s almost impossible to stop this behavior: anyone with relatively modest technology skills can run GAI programs locally and privately on their own hardware without any filters or watermarks. Privacy infringements, security weaknesses GAI has such a broad and interconnected set of data that it can inadvertently reveal private information that would otherwise be hard to access. If you ask GAI (the right way) how to hack a system, there’s a good chance it will tell you precisely how to do it. And if someone does crack a private GAI system, it might be extremely difficult to track down what they’ve done or learned by doing so. Plagiarism and cheating GAI makes to trivial to cheat on tests and papers. Simply ask it to write you a college paper, and you’re likely to get something good enough to get you an B- on a typical paper.11 And that’s only going to get easier and higher quality in the coming years. It’s likely that GAI will write papers better than any human within five years—or perhaps fewer.And while there’s talk of tokenized AI hashes to identify whether specific content came from an AI, that approach probably isn't technologically sustainable. The dawn of a new era It’s easy to dismiss Generative AI by pointing out its current weaknesses. But none seem likely to present fundamental barriers to AI. Copyright, for example, will likely be overcome through small training sets, large open source training sets, and the inexorable market demand pulling generative AI forward. Another example is our portfolio company PowerNotes' patent-pending proof of authorship to combat cheating. AI technology is improving at a breathtaking pace, and the social, economic, and geopolitical forces acting as tailwinds for AI adoption mean that it’s a likely question of when, not if, generative AI will become broadly adopted. The fact that it's people with college educations getting replaced this time is nothing new. Automation has been moving up the "food chain" the entire time. It started out replacing donkeys. — Paul Graham (@paulg) December 13, 2022 We are clearly in the dawn of a new era. What’s coming down the pike? It’s tempting to consider possibilities based on current state technology. But sometimes—and in this case it seems to be so—the tech improves so quickly that predictions need to be predicated on future capabilities. As I’ve described elsewhere, layers of technology are combining to create emergent new opportunities—and threats. Generative AI and its close cousin Analytical AI are just one of a number of technologies that are creating a whole new world ahead of us. At a minimum, unprecedented job displacement This is far from the first time broadly applicable technologies have fundamentally changed our social and economic realities. Robert Gorden described just how much the five Great Inventions—electricity, urban sanitation, chemicals and pharmaceuticals, the internal combustion engine, and modern communication—changed our world.12 He argued that by comparison innovation going forward, and in particular based on information technology, will be “incremental and [slow].” The authors of the book Prediction Machines believed predictive AI would function primarily to empower white collar workers to perform their jobs more efficiently.13 Noah Manion and Roon have argued that “AI doesn’t take over jobs, it takes over tasks.”12 Dystopia: "Robots will do half of your jobs" Utopia: "Robots will do half of your job" — Noah Smith 🐇🇺🇦 (@Noahpinion) September 23, 2018 That's a reasonable presumption. Industrial revolution led to task automation that reduced employment in many areas, while creating even more new jobs (engineers, machinists, repairmen, conductors, managers, and financiers).15 Agricultural mechanization in the US similarly created new clerical, services, and manufacturing jobs.15 So, just as the industrial revolution created more jobs than it destroyed, we may be heading into an era—a Bionic Era—where AI and other tools serve primarily to enable human superpowers. But the scope and scale might be far more than anyone living today can recall. As of 2013 machines were expected to displace (or eliminate) 47% of jobs.3 In 2017 McKinsey published a report estimating that 51% of work hours in the US were susceptible to full automation.16 Let’s assume a 30 year timeframe for this (roughly what McKinsey estimated), even though that seems too long given the pace of AI innovation and the economic potential associated with successful adoption. Based on roughly 165 million US workers, that means 5.5 million new workers out of jobs and $100 billion in displaced wages per year. By 2030 that could mean 44 million lost jobs, and $800 billion per year in lost wages. How many will find new jobs? How many companies will struggle and fail in the context of a new workforce and technology paradigm? This would be a level of creative destruction unfamiliar to any living person. And yet there are compelling reasons to believe the reality will be far worse. Likely pervasive job destruction The scope of tasks that machines can perform as well or better than humans has increased significantly since estimates surfaced that AI would replace half of all jobs. And AI is in almost every case orders of magnitude faster and less expensive than a human performing the same job. “... the displacement effect of automation has been counterbalanced by technologies that create new tasks in which labor has a comparative advantage.”15 If job replacement presumes new tasks in which labor has a comparative advantage, which are those tasks? Machines have in many cases surpassed human analytical abilities. Now they’ve come for our creative, problem solving, and social capabilities. Given the unit economics, it’s hard to imagine a world where GAI doesn’t fundamentally change the dynamics of our entire economy. There’s some evidence job destruction started happening thirty years ago. As of 2019: “[T]here has been a slowdown in the growth of labor demand over the last three decades and an almost complete stagnation over the last two… the sharp slowdown of US wage bill growth over the last three decades is a consequence of weaker-than-usual productivity growth and significant shifts in the task content of production against labor.”15 I argue that just as it took decades for the impact of the Great Inventions to fully materialize, information technology will only culminate over time.17 And the advent of GAI suggests it’s going to be a doozy. And we haven’t even taken into account quantum computing, CRISPR, nanotechnology, and more. And it’s happening far faster than expected All of this occurs in the context of technologies that are advancing at a breathtaking rate. OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT was founded in 2015, and released their first version in 2018. ChatGPT 4 is rumored to be around the corner, and to represent an order of magnitude improvement over the existing ChatGPT 3.5 (the current publicly available version). Image generators are improving on a monthly and sometimes even weekly basis. Extraordinary improvement in under four years ( source ) Progression of quality for diffusion image generation in under four years Even experts in the field have consistently underestimated the pace and breadth of innovation in AI. It seems quite likely that Generative AI will generate higher quality results in most areas than even highly trained humans within five years. Arguably, it’s already there. In 2004, researchers estimated that driving in traffic was “insusceptible to automation,” and yet six years later Google announced the release of early fully autonomous cars.3 As of 2022, fully autonomous taxis are operating in several cities across the world. The research which called for ~50% job automation over the next thirty years failed to predict the pace of innovation in the AI space. McKinsey estimated that AI might achieve 25th percentile human quality somewhere between 8 and 50 years from now.16 A McKinsey report from 2017 that may have been too conservative It certainly seems that AI has already achieved some or all of these, or at least is on the cusp of doing so—between 8 and 50 years ahead of schedule. And as described previously, we're benchmarking against technology that's about to be replaced with something radically more powerful, so things could be further along than we realize. What are the implications? What are the implications? What are the opportunities? How can we as investors, entrepreneurs, and asset allocators thrive going forward? What does it mean for incumbents and traditional models? It’s not certain by any means, but it’s possible we’re looking forward to: 75% of jobs being displaced Within 15 years, not 30 With 50% of those permanently gone …. A post work economy? Whatever the case, it seems that virtually everyone—employers, employees, investors, entrepreneurs, and our nation states—are facing a period of face melting disruption for at least the next twenty years. For some it will mean incredible opportunities. For others it will mean destruction and pain. Few will remain untouched. A fateful time for incumbents The average tenure on the S&P 500 has dropped from approximately 75 years to about 12. Creative destruction is coming for incumbents, and it’s not letting up. In fact, it’s likely just getting started. Arguably incumbents have at least two key advantages in the coming times: access to data, and the prospects for decreasing costs and increasing margins using AI for their existing business models. But these are unlikely to be sufficient. Inertia, protecting the proverbial Golden Goose, system complexity brought on by new possibilities, and trends disfavoring large firms all combine to pose existential threats for most large companies. Even the “new” tech companies such as Google are vulnerable. Using ChatGPT makes it crystal clear that Google’s cash cow search business can’t remain as it is. And while Google has some of the best AI talent on the planet, I’d hesitate to bank on their ability to destroy their own business model and replace it with a new one while flying their $250 billion plane. At the same time, the economics might be fundamentally against them: there’s at least one estimate that it would cost $50 million now (and much less in the future) to build a large language model generative Q&A system to threaten Google. Established companies are designed to operate known business models using well understood technologies. They’re good at innovation, but not disruption. The same things that make them good at the former tend to make them fail at the latter. I explain more in my article on “How Great Companies Get Disrupted.” The broader implications for firms—as in the Coase Theorem of—are similarly dire. AI eliminates friction, accelerates tasks, and likely destroys jobs. As a result, larger firms will have declining relevance in the new economy. And given the speed with which all of this is happening, many will fail to—or be fundamentally unable to—adapt more quickly than they become insolvent. We saw something similar happen to General Motors, which went from employing almost one out every hundred US workers, to insolvency and eventually bankruptcy. For decades, their ability to centrally coordinate a massive, distributed workforce and far flung assets conferred competitive advantage. But over time, lean manufacturing methodologies, new supply chain modalities, and their organizational cruft eliminated their competitive advantage, turning it into a weakness. I suspect much the same will happen across industries, even to the most successful and long-lived companies. I don’t believe any established company is safe. The largest and most established are likely the least so. Conclusion AI will definitely displace a large percentage of jobs, including knowledge work and creative jobs. And the breadth of displacement is likely to be far greater than anything we have seen to date with the possible (but far from certain) exception of the Industrial Revolution. And this time the disruption will occur much, much more quickly than anything we have seen before. Artificial Intelligence technology is moving far faster and further than even experts predicted as recently as a few years go. New Generative AI capabilities in creativity, social skills, and precise motor control have likely brought forward AI disruption by 10+ years. The breadth and depth of AI capabilities, combined with speed and unit economics may mean that most of the jobs displaced are not replaced by humans, but rather by more AI. Either way, we’re at the cusp of a deeply disruptive and transformative period for our economy and society. So, the real question is: what’s not going to be deeply disrupted. It’s going to be an economic bloodbath like few living people have ever seen. Generative AI isn’t quite ready for prime time, but we're not ready for AI, either. Now is the time to act.

This ...	As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to advance, it is becoming an increasingly important tool in our daily lives. From virtual assistants to self-driving cars, AI is changing the way we live and work. One of the most exciting developments in AI is its potential to improve our daily basic needs. That’s why we first have a look at what AI means and could mean for you as a person. And of course, explained by an AI. What is AI exactly? Artificial intelligence (AI) is the ability of a computer or machine to mimic intelligent human behavior. This can include tasks such as understanding and interpreting natural language, recognizing patterns and making decisions, and learning from experience. There are several different types of AI though. Rule-Based AI Rule-based AI is a type of artificial intelligence that follows a set of predetermined rules to make decisions or perform tasks. These rules are typically programmed into the AI system by a human designer and are used to guide the AI’s decision-making process. One example of a rule-based AI system is a computer program that is designed to identify spam emails. The program may be programmed with a set of rules that specify certain characteristics of spam emails, such as the presence of certain words or phrases in the subject line or body of the email. When the program receives an email, it compares it to these rules and classifies it as either spam or non-spam based on the presence or absence of these characteristics. Rule-based AI systems are useful for tasks that involve simple decision-making processes and can be effectively implemented using a set of well-defined rules. However, they are not as flexible as other types of AI and may not be suitable for tasks that involve more complex decision-making processes or require the ability to learn and adapt over time. Machine Learning Machine learning is a type of artificial intelligence that involves algorithms that can learn and improve their performance over time, without being explicitly programmed. These algorithms are designed to automatically learn and improve their performance on a particular task by analyzing data and adjusting their internal parameters accordingly. There are several different types of machine learning algorithms, including supervised learning, unsupervised learning, and reinforcement learning. Supervised learning involves training an algorithm on a labeled dataset, which means that the data is labeled with the correct output. The algorithm then uses this labeled data to make predictions or decisions about new, unseen data. Unsupervised learning involves training an algorithm on a dataset that is not labeled. The algorithm must then discover patterns and relationships in the data on its own. Reinforcement learning involves training an algorithm to make decisions in an environment in order to maximize a reward. Machine learning is used in a wide range of applications, including image and speech recognition, natural language processing, and predictive modeling. It has the potential to transform many aspects of our lives and is likely to continue to play an increasingly important role in the future. Natural language processing Natural language processing (NLP) is a type of artificial intelligence (AI) that allows machines to understand and interpret human language. It involves the use of algorithms and models to process and analyze large amounts of text or speech data in order to extract meaning and understand the intent behind the words. One common application of NLP is text and speech recognition, which involves transcribing speech into text or vice versa. This allows people to communicate with computers using natural language, making it easier to use voice assistants or dictate text. NLP is also used for language translation, allowing people to communicate with each other across language barriers. It can be used to translate text or speech from one language to another in real time, making it easier for people to communicate with each other even if they do not speak the same language. Another application of NLP is sentiment analysis, which involves analyzing text or speech data to determine the sentiment or emotion being expressed. This can be useful in customer service applications, for example, where it can help companies understand how their customers are feeling. Overall, NLP is an important and rapidly evolving field that has the potential to greatly enhance our ability to communicate with computers and with each other. As AI technology continues to advance, it is likely that NLP will play an increasingly important role in many different industries and applications. Expert systems Expert systems are artificial intelligence (AI) systems that use a combination of rules and machine learning to mimic the decision-making abilities of a human expert in a particular field. These systems are designed to analyze data, apply their knowledge, and make recommendations or decisions based on that analysis. One example of an expert system is a computer program that is designed to assist doctors with diagnosis and treatment recommendations. The program might be trained on a large dataset of medical case studies and expert opinions, allowing it to mimic the decision-making process of a human expert in the field of medicine. Expert systems have the potential to greatly improve efficiency and accuracy in many industries. In the healthcare field, for example, they can help doctors to more quickly and accurately diagnose and treat patients. In the financial industry, they can assist with risk assessment and fraud detection. Overall, expert systems are a valuable tool for organizations looking to improve their decision-making processes and enhance the accuracy of their recommendations. As AI technology continues to advance, it is likely that expert systems will play an increasingly important role in many different industries. AI has the potential to transform many aspects of our lives, from automating tasks to improving healthcare and transportation. It is a rapidly evolving field with numerous applications and is likely to continue to play an increasingly important role in the future. So what is positive about AI? Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to transform many aspects of our lives and make a positive impact on society. From automating mundane tasks to improving healthcare and transportation, AI has the power to greatly improve the quality of life for individuals and communities. One example of the positive impact of AI is its ability to create new job opportunities. As AI technology continues to advance, it is likely that many new types of jobs will be created that involve working with or developing AI systems. These jobs will require a variety of skills, including data science, machine learning, and software development. Another way that AI can have a positive impact on society is by improving healthcare. AI-powered systems can analyze medical images, assist with diagnosis, and recommend treatment options, helping doctors to provide better care for their patients. AI can also be used to improve transportation, making it safer and more efficient. Self-driving cars, for example, have the potential to reduce the number of accidents on the road and make transportation more accessible for people who are unable to drive. Overall, AI has the potential to make a positive impact on society in many different ways. As it continues to evolve, it is likely that it will play an increasingly important role in improving the lives of individuals and communities around the world. How about the negative side? But it can also have negative consequences. Some of the potential negative impacts of AI include: Job displacement: As AI technology continues to advance, it is likely that some jobs will be automated, leading to job displacement for some workers. This could result in economic disruption and social challenges as people struggle to find new employment. Bias and discrimination: AI systems can be biased if they are trained on data that is itself biased. This can result in discriminatory outcomes, such as biased hiring decisions or unequal access to services. Privacy concerns: AI systems often rely on the collection and analysis of large amounts of personal data. This can raise concerns about privacy and the potential for the abuse of personal information. Security risks: AI systems can be vulnerable to cyber attacks, which could have serious consequences, such as the disruption of critical infrastructure or the theft of sensitive data. It is important to carefully consider the potential negative impacts of AI and take steps to mitigate them. This might involve regulating the use of AI, investing in retraining programs for workers who are displaced by automation, and ensuring that AI systems are developed and used ethically. How would this help us? It has the potential to transform many aspects of our lives and the way we work. If we fully integrate AI into our lives, it is likely that many aspects of our daily routines will change. Here are five ways that human life could change if we fully integrate AI into our lives: Increased automation: AI has the potential to automate many tasks that are currently done by humans, such as data entry, customer service, and manufacturing. This could lead to increased efficiency and productivity, but it could also result in job displacement for some workers. Improved healthcare: AI-powered systems could assist doctors with diagnosis and treatment recommendations, helping to improve the quality of healthcare. Enhanced transportation: Self-driving cars and other AI-powered transportation systems could make transportation safer and more efficient. Enhanced education: AI-powered systems could be used to personalize learning and provide students with customized education plans. Improved decision-making: AI systems can analyze large amounts of data and make recommendations based on that analysis, which could help individuals and organizations to make more informed decisions. The impact of fully integrating AI into our lives is likely to be significant and far-reaching. It is important to carefully consider the potential impacts of AI and take steps to ensure that it is developed and used ethically and responsibly. Possibly a new era for science and civilization overall? As you can see this article has been completely written by an AI, or as my grandparents would call it “A Machine”. I truly think that the development of AI is mankind’s best achievement we possible can get. A very sophisticated machine that would help humanity in multiple forms has more impact on our daily life than anything else. Think of all the possibilities we can have, new creations made by intelligence which humans can’t compete with and optimization of everything we ever invented. It helps us in our daily life by giving us more options and lets us take a big step back in pursuing the big picture.	2022-12-27T00:00:00		https://horax.nl/artificial-intelligence/56/	[ { "date": "2022/12/27", "position": 98, "query": "automation job displacement" } ]

Demand for technical solutions has risen as technology and business models evolve. Thanks to COVID-19, digitalization has permeated the healthcare sector. Insurance agencies, hospitals and care centers, medical experts, and even stakeholders are looking to technology to improve business operations and solve existing problems, such as: Poor efficiency. According to some estimates, the U.S. healthcare system has nearly $765 billions of “excessive costs” due to inefficient functioning Lack of automation. Healthcare experts say that the most damage to their organizations is caused by the excessive reliance on manual processes. Billing problems. Urgent healthcare centers often face a problem of missed payments, which leads to big financial losses. Supply hoarding and wastage. Traditional healthcare supply chains don’t ensure the optimal relocation of the supplies. The good news that each of these problems, and even more, can be solved with the help of the latest technological trends. Learn more about that below! Healthcare Tech Trends and Their Impact on the Medical Industry The latest digital trends are rapidly reshaping the healthcare industry. They take medical automation and efficiency to a new level, helping medical providers deliver better services to their patients. Here is how it works: Telehealth Telehealth, often known as telemedicine, allows your health care practitioner to offer care to you without requiring an in-person appointment scheduled. Telehealth is generally performed online using a computer, tablet, or smartphone with internet connectivity. Telehealth care comes in a variety of forms. One can contact their doctor by phone or video chat. Telemedicine also involves using secure messaging, email, secure messaging, and secure file exchange to send and receive information from medical providers. Another elements of telehealth is remote monitoring, which means using a gadget to collect vital sings and keep doctors up to date on treatment progress. Only 11% of people worldwide used telehealth prior to the COVID epidemic, according to a survey conducted by Mckinsey. That proportion has increased to almost 76 percent. Telehealth has been more widely accepted thanks to its numerous benefits, which include time and money savings, ease of access, less risk of contracting dangerous diseases, and a decrease in travel requirements. There has been a professional and popular call for government authorities to continue sponsoring telehealth in the future. AI’s Role in Personalized Treatment and Advanced Diagnostics Personalized Treatment Plans Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing personalized medicine by leveraging vast amounts of patient data, including genetic information, medical history, and lifestyle factors. This data-driven approach allows AI to design highly individualized treatment plans that are more effective and have fewer side effects compared to traditional methods. Genomic Analysis: AI algorithms can analyze genetic data to identify mutations and variations that may influence a patient’s response to certain treatments. This enables healthcare providers to tailor therapies that are most likely to be effective for each individual. Predictive Analytics: By integrating data from electronic health records, wearable devices, and other sources, AI can predict disease progression and treatment outcomes. This helps in making proactive decisions, such as adjusting medication dosages or recommending lifestyle changes to improve patient outcomes. Continuous Learning: AI systems continuously learn from new data, improving their accuracy and predictive power over time. This dynamic learning process ensures that treatment plans remain up-to-date with the latest medical research and patient-specific information. Advanced Diagnostics AI is also making significant strides in the field of diagnostics, enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of disease detection and management. Medical Imaging: Advanced AI algorithms, particularly deep learning models, are capable of analyzing medical images with remarkable precision. These systems can detect abnormalities such as tumors, fractures, and neurological conditions more accurately than human radiologists, leading to earlier and more accurate diagnoses. Pathology: AI-powered tools can analyze tissue samples to identify cancerous cells and other pathological conditions. This not only speeds up the diagnostic process but also reduces the likelihood of human error. Cardiology: In cardiology, AI can interpret electrocardiograms (ECGs) and other diagnostic tests to detect heart conditions at an early stage. This early detection is crucial for timely intervention and better patient outcomes. Personalized Diagnostics: AI can tailor diagnostic processes based on individual risk factors. For example, AI can recommend more frequent screenings for high-risk patients while reducing unnecessary procedures for those at lower risk. This personalized approach optimizes healthcare resources and improves patient care. Potential and Challenges of AI Integration in Healthcare Systems Transformative Potential of AI in Healthcare Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize healthcare by enhancing patient care, improving operational efficiencies, and addressing key challenges within the system. Enhanced Patient Care: AI can significantly improve patient outcomes by enabling early disease detection, personalized treatment plans, and continuous monitoring. For instance, AI algorithms can analyze medical images to detect diseases like cancer at an early stage, leading to timely interventions. Operational Efficiencies: AI can streamline administrative tasks, reduce healthcare costs, and optimize resource allocation. By automating routine tasks such as scheduling, billing, and data entry, AI allows healthcare professionals to focus more on patient care. Predictive Analytics: AI-driven predictive analytics can forecast patient needs, identify high-risk patients, and recommend preventive measures. This proactive approach helps in reducing hospital readmissions and improving overall health outcomes. Access to Care: AI can bridge gaps in healthcare access, especially in underserved communities. AI-powered telemedicine platforms and mobile health applications enable remote consultations and diagnostics, making healthcare more accessible. Challenges of AI Integration in Healthcare Despite its potential, integrating AI into healthcare systems comes with several challenges that need to be addressed to ensure successful implementation. Data Privacy and Security: The use of AI in healthcare involves handling vast amounts of sensitive patient data. Ensuring data privacy and security is paramount to prevent breaches and maintain patient trust. Regulatory Compliance: AI technologies must comply with stringent healthcare regulations and standards. Navigating the complex regulatory landscape can be challenging for healthcare providers and AI developers. Bias and Fairness: AI algorithms can inherit biases from the data they are trained on, leading to disparities in treatment outcomes. Ensuring fairness and eliminating bias in AI systems is crucial to provide equitable healthcare. Integration with Existing Systems: Integrating AI solutions with existing healthcare infrastructure can be complex and costly. Compatibility issues and the need for significant upgrades can hinder seamless integration. Clinician Acceptance: Healthcare professionals may be resistant to adopting AI technologies due to concerns about job displacement, trust in AI decisions, and the need for additional training. Building trust and providing adequate training are essential for successful AI adoption. Transparency and Explainability: AI systems often operate as “black boxes” making it difficult to understand how they arrive at certain decisions. Ensuring transparency and explainability of AI algorithms is important for gaining clinician and patient trust. Medical chatbots There are several causes that have led to the rise of chatbots and virtual assistants in healthcare, including an increase in distant treatment, a greater awareness among patients, and an urgent demand for customization. 35% of customers, according to Oracle, want to see businesses provide virtual assistants. When it comes to routine and often stressful treatment processes, it’s no secret that most individuals prefer texting to phoning or meeting. As a result, chatbots aren’t simply a way to keep patients engaged but also a way to improve patient outcomes. Mobile apps In the post-pandemic world, digital healthcare is in the spotlight. Mobile solutions for healthcare help doctors, clinicians, and hospitals take better care of their patients. Today, more and more people want to get health care without leaving their homes. That’s why personal health apps are growing the most now. More and more people use apps to track their fitness, nutrition, and mental health. As an example, let’s discuss an AI-based health tracking app that we created for our clients. This solution considers many factors, such as genetics, lifestyle, age as well as real-time health measurements from wearable devices in order to provide users with valuable recommendations and help them set realistic health-related goals. Electronic data management Electronic data management helps organizations to combine and analyze medical data to improve patient care, while safeguarding the data’s security and privacy. Here a few of most effective solutions for healthcare organizations: EHR is an electronic version of a patient’s medical history that is maintained by the provider over time and may include all the key administrative clinical data relevant to that person’s care under a particular provider, such as: demographics, medical issues and medications, vital signs, past medical history, immunizations, laboratory data, radiology reports. The advantages of EHR include: Exchange of medical history and clinical data in real time, including diagnoses, treatment plans, medications, immunizations, allergies, radiological pictures, and test results. Access to evidence-based tools that enhance decision-making and streamline healthcare procedures. Patient participation in the therapy process leads to more tangible therapeutic outcomes. 2. An electronic medical record (EMR) is a computerized representation of a patient’s paper charts, which are kept at the doctor’s office. EMRs, like paper records, contain a patient’s medical and treatment history. However, EMR technologies provide a number of benefits to doctors, allowing them to: Monitor patient data throughout time. Keep an eye on vaccines, medical pictures, and test results. Get reminders for patients’ checks and screenings Keep track of the therapy procedure. Blockchain They say that blockchain is reviving the medical sector’s capabilities. In what ways? Let’s consider some of its applications in healthcare. Blockchain is already used to rethink the medical supply chain. Thanks to its decentralized technology, it guarantees full transparency for the pharmaceutical management. With the help of blockchain, it’s easy to monitor and control drug shipping. Blockchain also helps keep medical records secure and avoid data breaches. It can ensure that information is shared with only authorized parties. Besides, this decentralized technology allows to streamline healthcare processes and prevent mistakes caused by delays and miscommunication. Cloud computing The ability to securely access, store, and manage vast volumes of data is a significant benefit of cloud computing. As keeping and securing sensitive patient data is crucial, its introduction in the healthcare sector was inevitable. As a result, it is anticipated that the worldwide healthcare cloud computing industry would grow to $89.4 billion by 2027. From $39.4 billion in 2022, it indicates a CAGR of 17.8%. Patients who have access to cloud-based healthcare apps may safely, easily, and from any location obtain, see, and preserve their data. As a result, to stay up to speed on therapies and real-time health information, physicians and patients may fully benefit from cloud-based apps. Additionally, these applications promote patient involvement, which is crucial for the best possible therapy success.

The Right Approach to Building Medical Software Being a company with extensive 13-year experience in software development, we have helped many healthcare organizations by providing custom-designed software. When it comes to creating solutions for the medical field, every smallest detail plays a vital role since we deal with sensitive patient data and people’s physical well-being. From choosing the right programming language to designing a functional user interface, everything must be approached in a highly professional manner. There’s no room for error on our mission. That’s why we know how to address even the most complicated challenges in the following aspects: User-friendly interface When developing a healthcare solution, we approach each of its elements in a highly professional manner, without missing any detail. That’s why we do our best to create an intuitive and well-designed user interface that easily connects patients with systems, ensuring great coordination and better outcomes. We know that the degree of patient happiness and employee productivity are both boosted thanks to top-notch UI. Medical app design is full of challenges, but we know how to overcome them. For example, if there is a lack of references, it’s crucial to work closely with healthcare experts during the development process to ensure that the app meets all necessary clinical requirements. In case when it’s impossible to test user experience hypotheses, it makes sense to resort to a virtual testing environment. User errors are another widespread problem when it comes to medical software. To eliminate this problem, the app interface must be intuitive. It should contain a sufficient number of confirmation dialogs and notifications to provide better user experience. Programming language Another crucial element of any software development process is choosing the right programming language. Our team works with .NET as it’s a strong technology offering several advantages over other options. One major benefit is that.NET can integrate with existing systems and software, allowing organizations to make the most of their current investments. Second, it gives us the chance to include sophisticated features while maintaining a straightforward backend. Additionally, .NET has thorough support for creating highly secure apps, which is crucial in the delicate area of medical data. The fact that.NET can be used to develop desktop and online apps gives us a lot of freedom in how we deliver our solutions. By incorporating machine learning algorithms, software gets smarter over time. As a result of hlearning from existing data, the program can start increasing its own performance. Minimum Viable Product If you want to see how the final product will work and get some user feedback on it, you should start with creating a Minimum Viable Product (MVP). It’s not a finished solution but a quick and inexpensive test for customers, which allows them to check software design and get consumer input. Once the final features and functions of the solution are tested and verified, it’s time to take the final step towards building and testing. This approach helps to confirm all assumptions about the product and its market. On top of that, an MVP prevents from spending a lot of time or money on the final product before it’s tested. In Conclusion The applications of high-end technology are sneaking their way into medical organizations, taking healthcare to the next level. Frankly speaking, developing medical software is a complicated task. But not for our team of dedicated professionals!

I learned a lot." Associations Now (Kristin Clark, 1 June 2018): "It’s a surprisingly readable manual that may guide even skeptics to the “a-ha” moment of affirmation." Forbes (Adi Gaskell, 4 June 2018): "[F]raming AI in terms of its predictive capabilities is not only a realistic portrayal of its capabilities today, but also one that business leaders can both understand and act upon. For that alone, the book is worth reading." San Francisco Review of Book s (Robert Morris, 30 June 2018): "As they correctly suggest, their emphasis is on trade-offs: 'More data means less privacy. More speed means less accuracy. More autonomy means less control…The best strategy for your company or career or country will depend on how you weigh each side of every trade-off.'" New York Times (Ina Fried, 9 July 2018): "Compared with the amount of ink spilled over the prospect of artificial general intelligence...there’s been much less attention to the smaller changes already happening in the realm of AI & their quite profound economic implications. Enter Prediction Machines." strategy+business (Theodore Kinni, 8 August 2018): "For its engaging mix of insight and practical advice, Prediction Machines gets my vote for one of the must-reads on the topic." Bloomberg (Noah Smith, 16 August 2018): "[C]onsidering the scope of their task, Agrawal et al. do an excellent job." Inside Higher Ed (Joshua Kim, 5 December 2018): “We are desperately short of independent and unbiased analyses of the impact of AI on higher ed. Reading, and sharing, Prediction Machines is a good place to start a campuswide AI discussion.” The Strategy Bridge (Stephen Fino, 13 February 2019): “ Although written for a business audience, its insights are not confined to the boardroom. Prediction Machines provides a compelling, fresh perspective to help us understand what artificial intelligence is and its potential impact on our world. The text is essential reading for those grappling to make sense of the field.” TechTalks (Ben Dickson, 7 September 2020): “Prediction Machines provides a very accessible and high-level overview of machine learning and the power and limits of the predictions provided by AI algorithms. The book is a must-read for business leaders and executives.” Journal of Economic Literature (Laurence Kotlikoff, September 2022): “I close by answering the question: “Do I recommend this book?” Definitely. It’s a must read for business leaders who need to know where AI is heading and how best to harness the new technology. It’s a must read for economists; it forces us to think more deeply about the essence of AI and its connection to prediction. And it’s a must read for the public, who need to know the enormous dangers the old/new AI poses to our own and our children’s economic futures and freedoms.” IEDP (Peter Chadwick, October 2022): “Power and Prediction offers an invaluable guide to these complex developments—helping companies navigate what is likely to be a profound change, that for most will be unavoidable if they want to stay competitive.” Engineering & Technology (Nick Smith, November 2022): “All in all, Power and Prediction is a timely and insightful follow up to Prediction Machines.” Financial Times (John Thornhill et.al., November 2022): “It is only when we understand how AI can be used to redesign entire systems, rather than individual services or products, that its full promise will be realised. This jauntily written and thought-provoking book sketches out how this new economic revolution might unfold.” TechTalks (Ben Dickson, December 2022): “From point solutions and applications to AI systems, Agrawal, Gans, and Goldfarb study the success and failure of AI in different fields. They also provide important insights from past technological revolutions and show how rethinking and redesigning our systems from scratch can help create true value based on powerful machine learning and deep learning algorithms.” Dialogue (Kirsten Levermore, October 2023): “How do we adopt this awesome new technology at scale?

Can You Use Machine Learning to Automate Your FPI ...	Can You Use Machine Learning to Automate Your FPI Inspection Process?	https://blog.isa.org	[ "Emily Newton", "Emily Newton Is The Editor-In-Chief Of Revolutionized", "An Online Magazine Celebrating Advances In Science" ]	... machine learning (ML). ... Consequently, by automating it through ML, you can free that part of your workforce to focus on workflows they find more enjoyable or ...	Fluorescent penetrant inspection (FPI) is a popular way to inspect manufacturing products, thanks to its relative accuracy, simplicity, and non-destructiveness. However, the process isn’t perfect, with its reliance on human vision introducing the potential for error and inefficiency. If you could automate your inspection process, those concerns would fade. Quality control automation has become increasingly viable with the rise of machine learning (ML). ML is excellent at spotting patterns and, more importantly, outliers from those parameters, making them a promising solution for quality inspections. With the right approach, machine learning could unlock FPI’s full potential. Advantages of Automating FPI Automated FPI comes with many potential benefits. One of the most significant is machine learning’s speed. Human vision is not uniform and can take 100 to 500 milliseconds to perceive visual input. Computers can process the same information at several times the speed, helping accelerate the FPI process which would otherwise form a bottleneck in the production pipeline. Machine learning is also more reliable than humans when it comes to repetitive classification tasks like FPI. Because ML works off hard data and fast, in-depth analysis of pre-learned standards, it’s often more accurate and delivers the same accuracy every time. Humans, by contrast, can easily make mistakes, especially as they get tired. It’s also important to note that employees often don’t enjoy repetitive, non-engaging tasks like quality control. Consequently, by automating it through ML, you can free that part of your workforce to focus on workflows they find more enjoyable or engaging. That could boost morale and job satisfaction, helping reduce turnover and improve productivity. Concerns Over FPI Automation While automating your inspection process has substantial potential, it carries some risks, too. Most notably, machine learning models can only fulfill their accuracy and reliability promises with an effective training process. That can be challenging if data scientists don’t have sufficient, reliable data or understand the end goal well enough. Similarly, relevant experience, or a lack thereof, also poses a challenge. Almost half of all ML-deploying companies cite issues with programming and framework support as a barrier to machine learning. Another 37% report trouble monitoring model performance, and, because this technology is still relatively new, many organizations lack the necessary expertise to develop and monitor it effectively. Costs are another prominent concern with machine learning. Training these models can be expensive and disruptive upfront, even though an effective end product will save money over time. How to Automate Your Inspection Process Despite these lingering challenges, several recent studies have proven it’s possible to automate your inspection process effectively with ML. Some algorithms have achieved 95% accuracy and a 0.07 false positive rate, far surpassing manual processes. Here’s how you can design and implement machine learning models to automate your FPI. 1. Determine Data Points to Measure The first step in effective ML application is determining what data points your model should recognize. In an FPI context, this means finding specific visual markers for what constitutes a defect. Common surface defects to look for in FPI include cracks and fractures, though in some cases, bumps or warping may be a more prominent concern. Your inspection process likely scans for multiple defect types, so compile a list of what your workers look for and what those look like. Be sure to include acceptable parameters for each, too, to prevent your ML model from flagging small imperfections as significant problems. Designing an ML model also means deciding the type of data to analyze, but that’s fairly straightforward in this context. Your machine vision system will look at images of the products under ultraviolet light. Be sure to train it on the same image file type as its cameras will use in practice. 2. Collect and Clean Data Next, you must collect the right data to train your algorithm with. These ML models learn to detect defects by learning what a passable part looks like and what an unacceptable defect is. That means providing plenty of examples, in this case, images of quality-passing cases and defects. Machine learning works best when it has a lot of data to learn from. Every time quality inspectors notice a defect, take a picture of it to provide more data for your ML model. Ideally, you should take photos from multiple angles and in different lighting conditions for each instance. An important but easily overlooked part of this process is cleaning your data. Make sure everything is accurate, high-quality, organized, and in the same format. This cleaning process will produce more accurate results. 3. Choose the Right ML Model It’s also important to find the right type of model to automate your inspection process. There are many different machine learning algorithms available today, and each offers unique advantages and disadvantages. Two of the most popular for FPI automation are random forests and residual neural networks (ResNets). A random forest combines multiple decision trees, which follow flow charts for data classification, giving them high accuracy and flexibility to learn new information. ResNets, by contrast, are a type of deep learning using multiple complex layers of processing but skipping layers as necessary to speed up results. ResNets are often more accurate, even with limited data, than random forests in FPI. However, random forests may be easier to program and deploy quickly. Determine how sensitive your FPI process is and consider your budgetary and expertise constraints to choose between them. 4. Train the Algorithm Once you’ve selected a base model and have enough data, it’s time to train the algorithm. This involves programming the model on what constitutes a failed quality check and what’s acceptable. Then, you’ll feed it more and more data to test it, correcting it when it misclassifies an image to make it increasingly accurate over time. Training can be lengthy and involved, but many automated tools available today can help quicken the process. You may also need to reach out to a third-party machine learning developer to help build and train your FPI model. 5. Scale Up Slowly After your model has reached an acceptable, consistent level of accuracy in training, you can deploy it. However, given machine learning’s costs, it’s best to apply at a small scale initially. Start by automating just one FPI line and monitor it closely. Refer to your most experienced quality inspectors to judge how well the algorithm performs and where it can improve. ML projects can often cost upwards of $100,000 depending on their complexity and scale, so it’s best to scale slowly and watch them carefully. A slower approach with more expert input will improve model accuracy before you increase its costs too dramatically. This, in turn, will provide a better return on your investment, helping you make the most of FPI automation. Automate Your Inspection Process Today It will take time and money to automate your inspection process, but it comes with many benefits. Research shows that machine learning can make FPI inspections more accurate, efficient, and reliable than manual alternatives. You can then ensure a high level of manufacturing quality while maximizing cost-effectiveness.	2022-12-27T00:00:00		https://blog.isa.org/can-you-use-machine-learning-to-automate-your-fpi-inspection-process	[ { "date": "2022/12/27", "position": 80, "query": "machine learning workforce" } ]

Lately, the tech industry seems to have taken a major hit, with more and more companies deciding to lay off hundreds or even thousands of employees and/or implementing a hiring freeze until next year. When we see FAANG (Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, Alphabet) announcing such massive layoffs, there is no point asking whether this will affect the entire tech industry. However, the question remains whether this will trigger a domino effect in the market, or even if it is the start of a new HR layoff trend and how companies should approach this situation. Why is it happening? Over the years, as everything in our life has become more digitalised, tech companies have thrived as a reliable source of well-paid jobs. Then the pandemic hit and people started working remotely, shopping from home or streaming movies – in short, the online life became more of a need than a want. This triggered an even bigger need for tech services. Tech companies definitely felt the pressure to ensure both quality and quantity in a short amount of time by providing cloud based infrastructure and web hosting services. So as tech companies’ revenues increased significantly, so did their need for a larger workforce. Tech companies started a hiring spree, estimating that online business would continue to grow at least at the same rate. The tech market became even more competitive, creating a war for talent. Tech companies had to offer excellent remuneration packages to attract new hires. Microsoft employees, for example, left to join Facebook on twice their former salary. In 2022, however, the internet boom has faded and offline life is starting to pick up again. More and more employees are going back to the office and people are spending more money on services than on goods, so the tech companies are seeing a drop in their revenue and their employees’ salaries have suddenly become too expensive. Cost-cutting pressure and rising inflation coupled with a looming bear market and rising interest rates have forced tech companies to lay off huge numbers of employees or freeze recruitment in 2022. The impact on non-tech companies Since tech companies are the pacemakers for the future, these workforce cuts may also set an alarming precedent and have a ripple effect throughout many industries. Tech layoffs could hurt industries that are dependent on tech and their employees – and let’s be honest, everything around us is tech: from retail to construction, all industries have a tech component they rely on. And in the current situation, it is safe to say that the whole range of services and subscriptions tech companies provide are feeling the pinch. This situation could cause a domino effect in the market. If companies can no longer provide services at the same level and using the same IT infrastructure, investors will be more cautious about investing in companies. In addition, the entire business might be affected, which might lead to more layoffs or a hiring freeze. However, there is a potential silver lining to the layoffs. The hiring freeze might create an opportunity for companies to revamp the hiring process and to draft and implement more appropriate and appealing HR policies. This is even more of an issue in the tech industry where the hiring process has not taken into account gender criteria, for example. What can the companies do? In our opinion there are a few things companies must remember in this wave of tech layoffs: Companies that rely on tech might take this opportunity to consider insourcing their tech services. If so, companies should pay attention to the package they intend to offer the candidates. On one hand, the candidates are likely have to take less attractive financial offers than they found in the heart of the tech sector until now; however, such individuals are less likely to have full confidence in an employer’s ability to keep them on the payroll through hard times – so the companies will have to convince them they are a good fit for the future. And this could mean taking more interest in HR and focusing on: - Investing in the HR department. For example, better training for HR employees could ensure better hiring practices, and so HR employees will be able to seek and hire the best candidates for the company’s needs. Also, given that HR departments have an important role in determining the attrition rate, it is important to train HR employees to observe what is causing a high or low attrition rate and propose solutions. - Drafting or amending HR policies. From diversity, equality and inclusion to benefits policies, candidates are starting to be more interested in whether a company has implemented such HR policies and how they are applied in practice within the company. Thus better HR policies mean better opportunities for a company to recruit more suitable candidates. If the company is on the other side of the story and therefore might be considering layoffs, it is important to remember that Romanian law is very strict regarding the dismissal of employees. Thus, a very careful approach should be taken, firstly to determine whether the company should carry out individual or collective redundancies, and secondly, to comply with the relevant legal procedure.

Machine Learning vs Artificial Intelligence	Machine Learning vs Artificial Intelligence: What’s the Difference?	https://professionalprograms.mit.edu	[]	AI has become an essential function of business development. In fact, customer satisfaction is expected to grow by 25% by 2023 in organizations that use AI and ...	What is Artificial Intelligence? Artificial intelligence is the ability for computers to imitate cognitive human functions such as learning and problem-solving. Through AI, a computer system uses math and logic to simulate the reasoning that people use to learn from new information and make decisions. Today, artificial intelligence is everywhere. It is used in cell phones, vehicles, social media, video games, banking, and even surveillance. AI is capable of problem-solving, reasoning, adapting, and generalized learning. AI uses speech recognition to facilitate human functions and resolve human curiosity. You can even ask many smartphones nowadays to translate spoken text and it will read it back to you in the new language. While we are not in the era of strong AI just yet—the point in time when AI exhibits consciousness, intelligence, emotions, and self-awareness—we are getting close to when AI could mimic human behaviors soon. AI has become an essential function of business development. In fact, customer satisfaction is expected to grow by 25% by 2023 in organizations that use AI and 91.5% of leading businesses invest in AI on an ongoing basis. AI is even being used in oceans and forests to collect data and reduce extinction. It is evident that artificial intelligence is not only here to stay, but it is only getting better and better. What is Machine Learning? Machine learning is when we teach computers to extract patterns from collected data and apply them to new tasks that they may not have completed before. Take a music streaming platform, for example. Certainly, you or someone you know has searched for an artist on a music streaming platform, have found the artist, and have been recommended to a similar artist after scrolling down a bit. Shockingly, whether you know the recommended artist or not, you will notice similarities after listening to them. Machine learning is a complex and hyper-intelligent process that continuously learns from extracted data—in the case of music streaming platforms, ML can recommend custom songs and artists to you by looking at what other users with similar tastes have listened to. Artificial Intelligence vs Machine Learning The relationship between AI and ML is more interconnected instead of one vs the other. While they are not the same, machine learning is considered a subset of AI. They both work together to make computers smarter and more effective at producing solutions. AI uses machine learning in addition to other techniques. Additionally, machine learning studies patterns in data which data scientists later use to improve AI. The combination of AI and ML includes benefits such as obtaining more sources of data input, increased operational efficiency, and better, faster decision-making. AI and ML are beneficial to a vast array of companies in many industries. Retail, banking and finance, healthcare, sales and marketing, cybersecurity, customer service, transportation, and manufacturing use artificial intelligence and machine learning to increase profitability, work processes, and customer satisfaction. Additionally, ML can predict many natural disasters, like hurricanes, earthquakes, and flash floods, as well as any human-made disasters, including oil spills. Real-world AI and ML Application How do we take machine learning and AI and use them to help save Earth—particularly nature? That is where science and creativity come to play. Humans must be able to interpret the collected data from AI and ML to make decisions and find solutions to world problems. Here are some steps we can take: 1. Comprehend data In a hyper-connected world, we are surrounded by data. As it gets harder every day to understand the information we are receiving, our first step is learning to gather relevant data and—more importantly—to understand it. Being able to comprehend data collected by AI and ML is crucial to reducing environmental impacts. 2. Make predictions You can make predictions through supervised learning and data classification. Neural networks in machine learning—or a series of algorithms that endeavors to recognize underlying relationships in a set of data— facilitate this process. Making educated guesses using collected data can contribute to a more sustainable planet. 3. Make informed decisions You can make effective decisions by eliminating spaces of uncertainty and arbitrariness through data analysis derived from AI and ML. Making informed decisions is different from making guesses. The decision is backed by trusted data from AI. 4. Deploy casual interference You can infer relevant conclusions to drive strategy by correctly applying and evaluating observed experiences using machine learning. AI and ML are essential to not only combatting climate change, but also to helping most industries achieve their goals and obtain success.

As leaders, it is incumbent on all of us to make sure we are ...	Human Robot Production Process with New 3D Printer Factory. This human robot production process is done in a Korean factory. Absolutely amazing the humanoid robots that are being made. There are a few steps that could potentially be involved in the production process of human-like robots using a 3D printer factory. Here is one possible approach: Design the robot: The first step in the production process would be to design the robot. This could involve creating a 3D model of the robot using computer-aided design (CAD) software, specifying the dimensions and materials to be used, and determining the robot’s functionality and capabilities. Prepare the 3D printer: The 3D printer will need to be set up and calibrated for the production process. This could involve installing the appropriate materials and ensuring that the printer is working properly. Print the robot: Using the 3D model of the robot as a guide, the printer can be used to manufacture the various parts of the robot. This could involve printing the body, limbs, and other components of the robot using a variety of materials such as plastics, metals, or composite materials. Assemble the robot: Once the individual parts of the robot have been printed, they can be assembled to form the complete robot. This could involve attaching the limbs to the body, installing motors and sensors, and performing any necessary wiring or soldering. Test and refine the robot: The completed robot can be tested to ensure that it is functioning properly and meets the desired specifications. If necessary, the design can be modified and the robot can be reprinted and reassembled until it is satisfactory. Overall, the production process for human-like robots using a 3D printer factory would involve a combination of design, printing, assembly, and testing to create functional and sophisticated robots. Robot Quotes “Machines smart enough to do anything for us will probably also be able to do anything with us: go to dinner, own property, compete for sexual partners. They might even have passionate opinions about politics or, like the robots on Battlestar Galactica, even religious beliefs. Some have worried about robot rebellions, but with so many tort lawyers around to apply the brakes, the bigger question is this: Will humanoid machines enrich our social lives, or will they be a new kind of television, destroying our relationships with real humans?” ~ Fred Hapgood “If you want to look at this through a utopian lens, the AI Revolution has the potential to free humanity forever from drudgery. In the best-case scenario, a combination of intelligent robots and green energy will provide everyone on Earth with everything they need. But just as the Industrial Revolution caused a lot of short-term pain, so will intelligent robots. While we’re on the road to our Star Trek future, but before we finally get there, the rich are going to get richer–because they own the robots–and the rest of us are going to get poorer because we’ll be out of jobs.” ~ Kevin Drum “Much has been written about AI’s potential to reflect both the best and the worst of humanity. For example, we have seen AI providing conversation and comfort to the lonely; we have also seen AI engaging in racial discrimination. Yet the biggest harm that AI is likely to do to individuals in the short term is job displacement, as the amount of work we can automate with AI is vastly bigger than before. As leaders, it is incumbent on all of us to make sure we are building a world in which every individual has an opportunity to thrive.” ~ Andrew Ng “Let’s start with the three fundamental Rules of Robotics…. We have: one, a robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. Two, a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. And three, a robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.” ~Isaac Asimov Robot Research	2024-01-15T00:00:00	2024/01/15	https://www.supplychaintoday.com/human-robot-production-process-with-new-3d-printer-factory/	[ { "date": "2022/12/28", "position": 78, "query": "automation job displacement" }, { "date": "2022/12/28", "position": 80, "query": "AI replacing workers" } ]
Why replacing humans with robots will never work	Why replacing humans with robots will never work	https://www.independent.co.uk	[]	But “AI” models rely on the unseen labour of millions of “crowdworking” humans across the globe tagging and categorising the data to make it comprehensible ...	Whenever we get strikes, a peculiar thing happens. People who, the rest of the year, can be found Googling “how do I open pdf” suddenly become techno-optimist futurists. Whether it’s self driving trains or touchscreens in McDonald’s, when a worker is demanding better pay and conditions, suddenly everyone loves technology. Those techno-scabs tend to fall into two camps. The majority are simply wide-eyed naïfs who think technology is magic, who believe that if you hit an icon on your magic phone that your finger itself summons the Uber. These are people who neither know about nor care to understand the massively expensive technical infrastructure that underlies modern automation; or, for that matter, the highly paid technical staff who are required to keep it running. Then there are those who do understand that automation is not a free lunch, who know it’s expensive and complicated and comes with its own set of trade offs, but who run entirely on spite and are prepared to pay any amount of money in order to not let workers win. They understand well that strikes are a conflict over power in the workplace, and what’s important to them is retaining the power to dictate terms and conditions to workers. There is, of course, nothing new under the sun, and this conflict has been around as long as capitalism. Two hundred years ago, early in the industrial revolution, a group called the Luddites were smashing up weaving machines across England. Their name lives on in infamy as people who are opposed to, or just don’t understand, new technology and the advantages it brings. But Jathan Sadowski, senior research fellow in the Emerging Technologies Research Lab – and self-described Luddite – says this is a case of history being written by the victors. Luddism, according to Sadowski, was not mindless opposition to technology and progress for its own sake. Rather “the Luddites wanted technology to be deployed in ways that made work more humane and gave workers more autonomy.” But they lost – the Luddites were defeated, shot and hung, and “their story is told to discourage workers from resisting the march of capitalist progress.” The conflict over automation and mechanisation is very rarely one of simple opposition to technology for technology’s sake, but a dispute about who owns, controls, and benefits from technology. Consider what would happen if, tomorrow, an inventor was to create a flawless robot that could replace human workers in all dangerous, tedious labour. In a sane world that inventor would go down in history as a hero, the architect of a golden age. But we do not live in a sane world, we live under a capitalist system in which the spoils of automation accrue to a very few rich people at the top of society, and so that inventor would instead be remembered as one of history’s greatest monsters, responsible for mass immiseration, riots, starvation and poverty as millions – perhaps billions – of people were rendered unemployed overnight. The robots might be able to take over in the farms and mines, but ironically the farm and mine owners would no longer have any customers to sell to. Automation under the control of workers is good. I’ve automated parts of my own job to save time and free myself from repetitive drudgery. But under capitalism, automation rarely simply abolishes the need for human labour, giving us time for leisure and our own needs, but instead moves and transforms it – from weavers to machine operators, from drivers to server administrators. Even art is being pulled into the sphere of technological automation, as new “artificial intelligence” models purport to be able to perform the work of artists based on a few text prompts – as long as you don’t ask them to draw hands. But “AI” models rely on the unseen labour of millions of “crowdworking” humans across the globe tagging and categorising the data to make it comprehensible by the machines, often under low-paid, exploitative, precarious contracts. To the extent that we work fewer hours than our Victorian forebears, this isn’t down to us needing fewer hours of work to create the basics of human necessity (even though that’s true). Rather, it is due to the militant actions of organised labour in winning concessions from the owner class – in wresting the undeniable benefits of automation from the mill and factory owners and distributing them across the workforce in the form of weekends, paid sick leave and the like. Technology has improved our productivity by orders of magnitude since the days of the Luddites, but one fifth of the population in the UK lives in poverty today. Tech won’t save us if the social and economic conditions it is deployed in are still based on exploitation and precarity. In the UK the threat that “we’ll automate your jobs” is mostly hollow, especially in transportation. It is, in fact, still difficult to automate all aspects of a train driver’s job reliably and safely, and errors do not result in weird drawings of fingers, but in derailments and fatalities. Where it has been achieved, it has been on isolated networks like the DLR, and even then humans are still needed as a failsafe. But even if the technology were to advance to the point that a machine could safely drive a high-speed train from London to Manchester without human supervision, the UK government is incredibly unlikely to commit to the hundreds of billions of pounds that would be required to make it work. We haven’t even fully electrified the rail network yet. We’re decades away – at best – from the kind of infrastructural improvements that would be needed to make automation work. Rail workers on strike today will likely be retired before any automation plans get implemented by this penny-pinching government and its corrupt army of thieving, useless contractors. Ironically, the best way to improve technology and infrastructure is to do it in collaboration with the workers who use it, and who can guide the development of new technologies in a way that makes sense, rather than the kind of pointless antagonism that leads bosses and governments to rely on hucksters and con-artists who promise the moon on a stick and deliver nothing but invoices. But nobody threatening workers with robot strike breakers actually wants or believes in a technologically advanced future. They want a cowed and subservient workforce, held in place by the threat of poverty if they dare step out of line. The Luddites were not defeated because automation simply left them in the dust. They were killed. And if the rail strikes are defeated it won’t be because magical automation renders the “overpaid dinosaurs” obsolete, but because the government has decided that worse, less safe, less reliable service is a price worth paying to avoid workers having more control over their own jobs and conditions. They’ll sell us a techno-future of robot trains and strike-free travel, but what they’ll deliver is a broken-down, disconnected network of ageing trains and cracked rails that we can’t afford to use.	2022-12-28T00:00:00	2022/12/28	https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/workers-replaced-with-robots-strikes-b2252482.html	[ { "date": "2022/12/28", "position": 23, "query": "AI replacing workers" } ]
Truckers aren't too enthused about an AI revolution	Truckers aren’t too enthused about an AI revolution	https://www.marketplace.org	[]	Autonomous vehicle tech has advanced quite a bit, but we're nowhere close to replacing truck drivers with AI yet ― and we probably don't want to.	Trucking is an essential part of the American economy. When it comes to the physical weight of stuff moving around the country, more than 72% of the nation’s freight is carried on trucks, according to the American Trucking Associations. But the job can be dangerous. It involves long hours alone on the road and fighting weather, exhaustion and other drivers who don’t think about truck-sized blind spots. And now, trucking companies are adding more technology to the vehicles, including artificial intelligence. In theory, this kind of tech could act as another layer of safety by helping drivers stay awake or in their lane. However, crash numbers have actually risen since electronic logging devices became mandatory in trucks. Karen Levy is a Cornell professor and author of the new book, “Data Driven: Truckers, Technology, and the New Workplace Surveillance.” She joined Marketplace’s Kimberly Adams to talk about what integrating AI into trucking means for truckers. A transcript of their conversation is below and has been edited for clarity. Kimberly Adams: So when writing about AI and surveillance and technology, why choose trucking? Karen Levy: Yeah, trucking is a really interesting industry through which to kind of think about and understand the way AI and surveillance are affecting work. So truckers are really the backbone of the economy, but we tend not to think about them very much. And I think not very many people have probably thought about the ways in which new digital technologies and AI are starting to affect trucking as a workplace. So that’s why I wrote “Data Driven.” Adams: You say in your writing that if and when AI comes more fully into the trucking world, it won’t just completely replace drivers. So what will it do instead? Levy: So autonomous vehicle technology, while it’s certainly advanced quite a bit over the past few years, is nowhere close to the point where it’s actually able to replace human workers. Instead, what we’re seeing is that AI is being felt in trucking by actually sort of invading the cab along with the trucker. So, among the things that are becoming more common in the industry are things like a camera that’s trained on a driver’s face that uses AI to monitor the flutter of his eyelids or how often his head is nodding. And the thinking there is that, you know, fatigue is a big problem in the trucking industry. And by using AI and camera systems, or biometrics, or wearables — that’s a better way to potentially manage drivers and to make them operate more efficiently in the vehicle. Of course, what we actually see is that a lot of those technologies end up driving out the very safest workers and really makes the job much less tenable. So, the narrative that we see is not really people getting kicked out of the cab, it’s that AI is really impinging on the dignity of the job. Adams: Yeah, I was just wondering what the truckers think about all this. Levy: Yeah, they’re not big fans. I mean, if you talk to truckers, a lot of truckers get into trucking because they don’t want someone looking over their shoulder all the time. Like, it’s a really common refrain among professional drivers that, you know, they liked the human autonomy that they were able to have. And a lot of new technologies that truckers are facing really are kind of an affront to that self-knowledge or that road knowledge that truckers have built up over years or even decades. Adams: So are there short-term fixes that should be on the table to address some of these concerns that drivers actually have? Levy: Yeah, so drivers for decades have noted that one of the biggest problems in the trucking industry is just under compensation. In 1980, truckers made about $110,000 a year in today’s dollars, and right now they make about $47,000 annually. And that number has been stagnant for many years. It’s really declined. And so what I think should happen and what truckers argue should happen, is kind of changing those root causes of overwork, right? Paying people for the labor that they’re actually doing, which would involve maybe changing the pay structure of trucking so that they’re not paid by the mile, but are paid actually for the number of hours that they work, and addressing other organizational issues in the industry to reduce the kind of fatigue that the technology is just being used to manage. Those types of solutions, they’re economic, but the problems in trucking really are economic problems. They’re not technological problems. And so trying to address them via surveillance technology, I think, will always be an inherently limited solution — and even a counterproductive solution. And it also drives out some of the safest workers. Adams: What does the rollout of all this technology in the trucking industry mean for consumers? Levy: I mean, one of the things that has been used to sort of justify some of these technologies is that consumers want safe highways. Like, I certainly want safe highways, and I think you want a safe highway. Nobody wants to be next to a trucker who’s been on the road for too long. And so these safety technologies are sometimes kind of justified on that basis. Unfortunately, what we know is that the electronic logging device and some of the other technologies that are used in trucking don’t have measurable impacts on safety. They actually don’t make the roads safer. If anything, the evidence we have suggests that they actually make the roads less safe. Crash rates have gone up since these things became mandatory. The other thing that people sometimes talk about is whether cost would go up for shipping, or, you know, would we have to wait longer for our Amazon Prime deliveries or something if we were actually to pay truckers for the work that they do? And the answer might be yes, but maybe those are the real social costs of depending on truckers’ essential labor to do all of these things. So, I think it just involves kind of a hard conversation about how much we’re willing to pay to actually have safe roads and to have essential workers work with dignity and be paid the wages that they deserve for that labor.	2022-12-28T00:00:00	2022/12/28	https://www.marketplace.org/story/2022/12/28/truckers-arent-too-enthused-about-an-ai-revolution	[ { "date": "2022/12/28", "position": 38, "query": "AI replacing workers" } ]

With millions of data generated daily, maintaining, monitoring, and managing them is an uphill battle. Today, most businesses are leveraging Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning technologies to simplify their workflows and strengthen their data capabilities. Using these technologies, businesses aim to streamline their work process, eliminate complexities and manage data effortlessly. In our introductory guide, we will walk you through the step-by-step guide to help you get started with Al and ML. Prerequisites, knowledge, and skills required for these designations will be discussed in detail. Additionally, we will share tips and strategies to jump-start your career in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. Let's Start! AI and ML: An Overview Both AI and ML are interrelated. The ideal attribute of Artificial Intelligence is the capacity to reason and execute actions with the highest probability of reaching a specific objective. However, Machine Learning states that computers can automatically learn and adapt to new data without human assistance. This autonomous learning is enabled by absorbing vast quantities of unstructured data, including text, photos, and video. What is Artificial Intelligence? Artificial Intelligence replicates human intelligence in machines programmed to replicate human thought and behaviour. The term applies to any computer demonstrating human-like characteristics such as learning and problem-solving. AI is founded on the premise that human intelligence may be characterised so that a machine can imitate it and carry out tasks ranging from the simplest to the most difficult. It aims to simulate human cognitive processes and let the system do human-like work. Prerequisites for Artificial Intelligence A graduate degree, preferably in computer science, is an excellent way to qualify for an AI job. However, a degree is not enough to get a job in this designation; skill set matters. Here are a few prerequisites for Machine Learning that one must know to land an entry-level job for this designation. 1. Programming Knowledge Knowing how to write programs is a prime consideration when diving into an AI job profile. Programming languages such as R, Python, Java, and C++ should be mastered. Give special attention to concepts like data sets and classes. Regardless of your chosen programming language, you must emphasise building the basics and concepts in depth. 2. Calculus, Linear Algebra, and Statistics A sound understanding of statistics is necessary to understand how programs and Machine Learning operate. Basic statistical concepts like Gaussian distributions, median, and variance is necessary. Also, individuals aspiring for AI designation must be able to forecast reports using probabilities and Naive Bayes model. Moreover, a strong foundation in calculus, integrals, and derivatives, to name a few, are required. 3. Integrative Language Processing Computers don't understand English or any other language spoken by humans. Thanks to NLP for allowing computers to comprehend and analyse human languages. It brings computers closer to human-level language comprehension, a prerequisite for an AI professional. It is a no-brainer why an AI professional must have a firm grasp of NLP. It is expected to have a sound understanding of libraries like NLTK and Gensim, to name a few. In addition, a sound understanding of sentimental analysis, summaries, and word2vec. Techniques are essential for an AI designation. 4. Neural Network Structures When jobs become too complex for people to code, networking works. Neural networks compromising artificial neurons, similar to neurons in our body, are proven to be the most effective method for addressing complicated issues. Speech recognition, image processing, and translation, to name a few, are easily handled using network structures. So, anyone aspiring to jump-start their career in AI must get their networking basics clear. A Career in Artificial Intelligence A career in Artificial Intelligence is an excellent pick in this continuing technological revolution. AI, the driving force behind computer vision, speech analysis, and natural language processing, influences industry and society in various ways – and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Why is Artificial Intelligence a Good Career Path? Before we answer why is Artificial Intelligence a good career, let’s have a glance at the last few years' records. The Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts a 31.4% rise in jobs for data scientists and statistical science experts, essential to Artificial Intelligence, between 2010 and 2030. Forbes estimates that Machine Learning occupations will be worth $31 billion by 2024, an increase of 40 percent over the next six years. AI provides the opportunity to work in diverse industries and technologies. IT, transport, banking, finance, and all the major industries use AI to address their business challenges and solve complexities. Transportation leverages AI to automate self-driving vehicle cars, businesses use AI to evaluate performance metrics, and manufacturing sectors use the technology in assembling parts. Regardless of the domain of your interest, AI fits everywhere. What is Machine Learning? Machine Learning comes under the branch of artificial intelligence that enables systems to leverage data and replicate intelligent human behaviour. The primary aim of ML is to make applications super accurate in predicting outcomes without needing to code explicitly. Prerequisites for Machine Learning A master's degree is a way to demonstrate your talents, but your practical knowledge and abilities will ultimately help you construct a project or pursue a job in Machine Learning. However, it is not mandatory; the right skill set is a must. Here are some of the prerequisites for Artificial Intelligence: Mathematical Skills Understanding mathematics is an essential prerequisite to getting started with Machine Learning. Here are the major areas of mathematics that are mostly used in Ml jobs. Statistics Linear Algebra Probability Let's understand the importance of each in detail: 1. Statistics Both Machine Learning and statistics are inter-connected. In fact, the majority of ML concepts come from statistics or are dependent on it. Therefore, an ML enthusiast must have a strong foundation in statistics to solve modern-day problems. For beginners, some of the basic statistical concepts like logistic Regression, distributions, and standard deviation, to name a few, add a great help to these job descriptions. 2. Linear Algebra Linear algebra studies vectors and rules for manipulating them, matrices, and linear transformation. It is an essential Machine Learning component and enables ML algorithms to operate on many multidimensional datasets. Although linear algebra is one of the essential prerequisites for Machine Learning, beginners don't need an in-depth understanding of the subject; a fundamental grasp of the concept is required to begin. 3. Probability Probability assesses the unpredictability of an event with a good level of accuracy. The greater the likelihood of an occurrence, the more likely it will occur. Probability is used in ML to produce predictions using inadequate information. In conventional programming, issues are deterministic, and output is not impacted by uncertainty. In addition, probability assists with hypothesis testing and distributions, such as the Gaussian distribution and the Probability density function. 4. Calculus Calculus is essential for ML. Beginners don't need an in-depth understanding of calculus; even a basic idea of it is sufficient. You do not need to compute complex derivatives in calculus manually; instead, you must comprehend how differentiation occurs and how it is applied in vector calculus. In addition to being utilised for algorithm training, multivariate calculus is also employed for gradient descent. Directional Gradient is an essential element in multivariate calculus: derivatives, divergence, curvature, Laplacian, and Directional Gradient. Programming Languages In addition to mathematical ideas, Machine Learning requires proficiency in a programming language and the ability to write code. 1. Python Python is superior to other programming languages because it is easy to learn and provides excellent employment prospects for programmers and data scientists. In addition to the adaptability of programming languages, Python provides good community support and a vast library collection. As a platform-independent programming language, it offers a comprehensive framework for Deep Learning and Machine Learning. Python is also a highly portable language because it can be used on Linux, Mac OS, Windows, and UNIX. 2. R Like Python programming, R is a popularly used language for statistical analysis. It is a functional programming language for Machine Learning due to its inherent functional programming, object-oriented design, and vectorial processing. It may not be the ideal language for Machine Learning, but its exceptional performance with large numbers. 3. Java Java is the most popular programming language utilised by developers and programmers worldwide. JVM enables Java to be readily implemented on numerous platforms (Java Virtual Machine). In addition to the programming mentioned above, there are other more used in Machine Learning, including C, C++, MATLAB, JavaScript, etc. Python and R are the two most popular programming languages for Machine Learning due to their numerous advantages and extensive libraries. However, other general-purpose languages, such as Java, C, and C++, can also be utilised; however, proficiency in these languages is required. However, selecting the best languages might be difficult for novices. A Career in Machine Learning The career scope in Machine Learning is limitless. Its data examining and forecasting capabilities make ML popular for modern-day business problems. ML applications are everywhere, and the demand for professionals with problem-solving skills will continue to grow. Why is Machine Learning a Good Career Path? Machine Learning (ML) offers a wealth of high-paying career opportunities in the business world, such as Systems Analyst, Data Scientist, NLP Scientist, Business Analytics Developer, and Human-Centred Machine Learning Designer. If you possess skills in Machine Learning, you can expect attractive salaries and perks. This makes a career in Machine Learning highly desirable. The demand for individuals with these skills far exceeds the supply, leading to intense competition among employers. There have been reports of tech giants engaging in bidding wars to secure the industry's top AI talent. Additionally, these ML skills are increasingly valuable in the video game industry, where they are used to enhance game design, create more realistic AI opponents, and improve user experience, further expanding the range of lucrative career options for ML professionals. How to Start a Career in AI & ML for Beginners There is no one-size-fits-all strategy to land a job as a qualified ML and AI professional. Due to the level of complexity involved in the job, the expectations from these job roles are comparatively higher than other IT profiles. However, there are proven strategies that a beginner can follow to jump-start their career in AI and ML. 1. Built your Foundation No matter how fancy the job title may look, mastering the fundamentals is the game-changer. Dive deep into the basics and focus on building concepts that will help you in your ML/AL job roles. Whether it's statistics, probability, calculus, or mere coding, it is essential to have a sound understanding of the subject. A detailed insight into these topics will help you address and solve complex real-world problems. 2. Strengthen your Skills Strengthen your problematic areas and explore more on the topics that you are falling behind. Evaluate yourself and know where you stand. Read blogs0, and watch ML/AI learning materials to improve your knowledge and empower your existing skills. Upskilling, for instance, is one of the most innovative ways to magnify your knowledge and get the course certification. This will increase your chance of being shortlisted for jobs compared to folks without certificates. 3. Get Certified Certification plays an essential role in getting an AI or ML job. Not just does it verify your qualifications, but it also adds credibility to your profile. Also, your chances of getting the recruiter's attention are significantly higher than those without certifications. However, picking the most suitable course is strenuous because of the many options available in the market. No worries! With Board Infinity, we have the one-fits-all-in Artificial and Machine Learning Course with Placement to help you get certified and make you job-ready. 4. Get Hands-On Exposure Leaning turns out to be most effective when put into practice. Besides theoretical knowledge and course certification, focus on getting hands-on experience. Start building a small project and try to implement what you have studied in theory. The projects will help you catch up on the topics quickly and give a sense of understanding of the nature of AI/ML work. Initially, a mini-project is an excellent way to get started. 5. Expand your Reach Now that you have learned the necessary skill sets and gained hands-on experience, it's time to get job-ready. Networking is an essential consideration when finding an AL or ML job. Follow and get in touch with professionals in this field. Creating a LinkedIn profile is a great way to reach out to experts and connect. Be ready to work as an intern and never miss an opportunity to learn. Conclusion Technology is advancing periodically, and job-seekers are leveraging training for new-age tech positions. Many online training programs and institutes offer AI certification, AI engineer certification, Machine Learning certification, and Artificial and Machine Learning courses with Placement. The majority of AI certification programs have been well-designed by industry professionals. The program provides a lens for validating the applicant's technical competence.

As a follower of this newsletter, I know you’re amongst the most innovative in our People industry. As such, you may have already heard what’s been making waves in the news: Artificial intelligence and, particularly, Generative AI and a new tool called ChatGPT. (Note: AI is developing rapidly. Take a look at our six must-know AI trends in 2024. And OpenAI is getting ready to release ChatGPT 5. Check out our guide to its new features.) While AI is nothing new to tech-savvy folks, this technology has greatly improved in the past year. Especially in the past few months, a new category of AI tools called “generative AI” made it easy to write, design, and more simply by you giving the tools prompts. Some examples of AI in the Workplace include: ChatGPT: researches and writes copy for you. Use our Prompt Generator to create 10x more powerful prompts and see more value from your ChatGPT usage. Lex, Canva Magic Write, Copy.AI: helps you write better Dall-E-2: creates images and art from your inputs Don't waste another minute. See our guide to the best free ai tools (for work) or check out these must-use ai websites. With these tools being praised for their writing and design abilities and now ChatGPT taking the world by storm, I can’t help but wonder what implications it will have on Human Resources and how to use AI effectively, as well as what jobs AI will replace. Especially for you as People Innovators, it’s important to take note of this massive opportunity. Gartner for HR called generative AI one of the top strategic technology trends of 2022. And Wharton professor Ethan Mollick states in Harvard Business Review: “The businesses that understand the significance of this change — and act on it first — will be at a considerable advantage.” In short, learn these tools now and leapfrog the competition. What is Generative AI, and what is ChatGPT? Generative AI are AI-powered platforms that can create new things based on your inputs. It can create new content ranging from a school essay to social media content. Taking AI from something 'behind the scenes' into a tool we can use to make our daily work easier is a massive change. Let’s start with the most recent breakthrough: ChatGPT. (Update: OpenAI is getting ready to release ChatGPT 5. Check out our guide to its new features) ChatGPT is a chatbot developed by a startup called OpenAI. ChatGPT, which stands for Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer, is built on OpenAI’s language models and has been made even smarter with additional learning methods. Give it a question, and it will answer based on more data than any human can ever process. Doesn’t Google does this too? Well, no. Google unlocks information by matching your search keywords to web pages containing information about that topic. ChatGPT gives you a full answer in human(-like) language rather than just links. It’s like talking to someone who has read the entire internet. It does this so well that you can even give it assignments to write on your behalf. The sales email below is an example (see more on Reddit and Twitter.) How could this impact us, especially in Employee Engagement, Employer Branding, and Internal Communications? Creating a sales email with easy. Image: Glen Cathey. A groundbreaking innovation The New York Times called ChatGPT "the best artificial intelligence chatbot ever released to the general public." In The Atlantic's "Breakthroughs of the Year" for 2022, Derek Thompson included ChatGPT as part of "the generative-AI eruption" that "may change our mind about how we work, how we think, and what human creativity is.” Or, to say it differently: The rise of generative AI has the potential to be a major game-changer for businesses. This technology, which allows for the creation of original content by learning from existing data, has the power to revolutionize industries and transform the way companies operate. By enabling the automation of many tasks that were previously done by humans, generative AI has the potential to increase efficiency and productivity, reduce costs, and open up new opportunities for growth. As such, businesses that are able to effectively leverage the technology are likely to gain a significant competitive advantage. Is this well said? Surprise: it’s written by ChatGPT itself! The tool is so powerful that it’s already “raising alarm over student cheating.” Now that using artificial intelligence is as easy as entering a question in the ChatGPT website, students can write sophisticated essays that imitate real academic work. No wonder ChatGPT is already highly successful. OpenAI made ChatGPT available for free public testing on November 30. It took just five days to amass one million users. They’re clearly on to something! What about HR specifically? In HR, People Operations, and Employee Engagement, we write A LOT. Tools like ChatGPT could take this work out of our hands. Let’s look at a few potential applications along the employee lifecycle. Recruiting Recruiting thought leader Glen Cathey 💡 looked at the opportunities for leveraging ChatGPT for talent acquisition. His findings confirm that as ChatGPT is still in its early days and can only write generic emails, job descriptions, interview prompts, and dialogues based on his inputs, such results are still impressive. Here’s an example of a prompt he gave ChatAI and the impressive output. Imagine the time it would have taken to write this yourself. A recruiter email composed for you by AI in a matter of seconds. Image: Glen Cathey. Glen highlights the quality of the responses, stating they’re as good as those made by people he has seen. He suggests that ChatGPT is a powerful tool to improve copywriting content on social media, such as LinkedIn posts (maybe this one, you never know.) Donna Svei, a resume writer for senior executives, highlighted the power of ChatGPT in job interview preparation for candidates. “As a former recruiter, I can tell you that the most challenging part of behavioral interviewing is getting candidates to share stories about SPECIFIC experiences. Fortunately, ChatGPT knows how to answer behavioral questions and can teach job seekers by example.” She gave ChatGTP the prompt to write out a conversation that one could expect in a behavioral interview. Role-playing an interview to train candidates. Image: Donna Svei. This is an interesting take and could easily be applied in any situation where we would normally use roleplay to practice something, like leadership training. Employee Engagement We know engaged employees are more productive, stay with us longer, and help us recruit better talent. So how do we engage our teams, especially now that we’re often working from different places on different days? Generating great ideas to engage teams, especially when we want to make those efforts efficient and effective, is challenging. Tools like ChatGPT can help by generating lists of ideas and detailed instructions for executing them. For example, team-building ideas. I asked ChatGPT to give us some ideas for team building. Here’s what it replied: The magic of ChatGPT comes in the fact that you can continue the conversation from here. Imagine it like an assistant that researched for you, but now that you get the results, you need to refine it. In this case, I spotted an issue with the upcoming budget-tight 2023 in mind: some of these activities would be great but are too expensive. So I told ChatGPT: “I don't want to do anything that costs money.” Here’s how it replied: I like the idea of the movie night, so I asked how to organize a good movie night at work: Going from no idea to a clear action plan for an engaging activity shows the power of using AI to boost employee engagement. And it doesn’t stop there! Once you’ve selected an idea, AI can help you write successful communications. This brings us to: Internal Communications Ever had writer’s block when writing the millionth internal communication? Did you stare at a blank page with no inspiration for writing? AI can come to the rescue! Simply give it a prompt and watch the message being written. As per this helpful article on Inc, this includes: Coming up with an idea for the content Generating the first draft Writing a title Helping to do research Shorten text Building on the example above, I asked ChatGPT to write an invitation for the team movie night: Again, the power of Generative AI is that I can now improve this with a simple prompt. I feel like for my team, the tone doesn’t have to be so formal, so I asked ChatGPT to write it with more excitement. No problem: Even if you don’t want to concede copywriting to the AI fully, the writing tool @Lex page helps answer questions while you’re writing your content, as seen in these examples: Lex helps with a chat box next to the writing screen to quickly get ideas and do research. The same goes for images. Previously, you may have Googled “team movie night images,” briefed a designer (and waited, and waited), or got into Canva yourself. Now, you can describe what kind of visual you want, and the AI will create it for you. Here's what image-generating AI Dall-E created for me when I asked for images about a Team Movie Night. I decided that I wanted something in "cartoon style," so I included that in my prompt. Here are the results: Images for Movie Night as created by Dall-E. It's hard to believe that these illustrations were generated in mere seconds, the same time it would have taken for a Google Search to find existing images. These are completely new images that never existed until I gave Dall-E the prompt! From this set of options, I particularly liked the first illustration. Like ChatGPT, you can continue the conversation and go deeper in a certain direction. I asked Dall-E to show me a few more options ("variations") for that first image. Again, it was ready in seconds: From there, I could give it additional prompts to fine-tune it further: This image but without the dark background This image but set in New York This image but with five people instead of four. "This image but set in New York." Yes, the faces could use some work, but for 3 minutes of AI prompting, pretty good. Segmentation Iterating on our final text or images means we can create even more. Normally, we write one-size-fits-all communications. From marketing, we know that personalized messages are much more impactful. Per McKinsey & Company, personalization has been proven to impact purchases significantly. It makes sense to personalize our internal communications as well. Creating those personalized messages, however, is a laborious process. With AI, we can better understand individual internal target audiences and create more personalized messages. Since rewriting in a different tone or for a different level of seniority now only takes seconds, the effectiveness and efficiency of our communications will improve greatly. The above model from MetLife shows how we can better target employees and then craft messaging that works for them. Their research proves that segmenting employees improves recognition, impact, and communication. Once you’ve crafted the main message, the only thing left is to tell ChatGTP to “rewrite it in a more formal tone” or “optimize the language for senior executives.” Continuing on our previous ChatGPT test, I thought to give it a challenge and asked to rewrite the movie night invite for working parents. I was truly delighted by the thoughtfulness of making the copy fit the target audience and being considerate about the need for childcare during the movie night. ChatGPT understands the plight of working parents. Employer Branding Besides Internal Communications, a lot of our writing and designing is for Employer Branding purposes. As highlighted before, generating ideas for social content, writing the content, generating visuals to go along with those posts, and more can now be ‘outsourced’ to AI. I asked ChatGPT to write a recap of our movie night as Employer Branding content. It considered all the important elements of an employer branding post, although I did remove the Best Regards sign-off. Employer Branding content, courtesy of ChatGPT. Pocket HRMS raises a good point by highlighting that the use of AI itself can also improve your Employer Brand: “The reasons mentioned above help engage the employees effectively, which in turn helps improve the quality of their work. As a result, the quality of the products or services provided by the company improves considerably, resulting in an improved brand and employer brand.” HR Services It’s great that we have AI’s support in the creative elements of our jobs. But it also tackles the more mundane parts of what we do. A lot of the manual support work that HR is still doing can be automated in a human-esque way. AI can internalize frequently asked questions about policies and processes and serve it up to the employee in a chat window. With a chatbot handling employee queries, HR is free to focus on where we can add real human value. Similarly, AI can take over much of the manual analysis work we’re putting into our people analytics. So, will I still have a job? In short, yes. At least for now. For example, in Employee Engagement, while AI can help generate ideas, write copy, and invite employees, those ideas still need to be implemented. The experience of running an employee-centric event still needs hands-on experience from a human point of view. Secondly, only some ideas generated will work for specific cases, so contextual information is still essential. Every company is unique, with its own culture and communication style, so “generalized” ideas and copy probably won’t be the best choice. As McKinsey shares, “Individual company norms and values aren’t reflected. Companies must adapt the technology to incorporate their culture and values, requiring technical expertise and computing power beyond what some companies may have ready access to.” Well, such shortcomings are still easily recognizable, at least for now. What’s amazing about AI is that it can learn very quickly from data. I hypothesize that providing machine learning with robust data sets will eventually teach AI to identify such nuances in those specific situations. Give it some more time and money, and AI will improve vastly. Sam Altman, OpenAI’s CEO, is straightforward about the company’s future endeavors: “We already know how to make it ten times better. We know there are logical reasoning tasks that it messes up. We’ll go down a list of things and create a new version that fixes all of the current problems.” Thirdly, many experts agree that while AI can cover the mundane elements of creators’ daily work, we still need the human touch of creativity. To many AI researchers, creativity is not only about the results but the creative process itself, something AI cannot replicate. Using ChatGPT’s own words in response to John Tan of Education & Catastrophe: “…it is unlikely that AI will replace most jobs. This is because many jobs require human creativity, intuition, and empathy, which AI cannot yet replicate. […] Human skills are often difficult to define and measure. Still, they are essential for many tasks that require complex problem-solving, critical thinking, and the ability to understand and respond to the needs of others…” In an interview with Channel News Asia, leading researcher Toby Walsh agrees. “There are lots of things it can do, but it also doesn't understand completely what it's talking about.” He shares that ChatGPT “is not understanding like you and I understand what it's saying. It’s just saying things that are probable.” McKinsey highlights this phenomenon too: “ChatGPT, for example, sometimes “hallucinates,” meaning it confidently generates inaccurate information in response to a user question and has no built-in mechanism to signal this to the user or challenge the result.” Lex, another AI tool, acknowledges its limited knowledge and issues caution. Whenever asking for suggestions, it reminds you, "FYI—I’m good at research questions, but sometimes I make things up that aren’t true, and I don’t know anything that happened after June 2021. Double-check anything I say.” Human and HR Economist Paul Krugman thinks that ChatGPT can affect the demand of knowledge workers. I asked my friend Sam Neo, who has been working on an HR-focused AI writing tool called Storybuddy, and he has a more nuanced take. In his words, “AI is here to co-create, not replace us.” I agree and think the above “Movie Night” examples showcase this. Sam argues that the rise of AI is an opportunity for us to find different ways to work with it and upgrade ourselves: “We need to embrace AI and use it to our advantage. With AI, we can automate repetitive tasks, freeing our time to focus on more important things. We can also use AI to make better decisions by analyzing data and trends we would otherwise miss. Like it or not, communication is key for us to get things done and progress in life. AI in this space will be key to leveling the playing field and helping more people access opportunities they never had. With the advent of new technologies, we must learn to adapt and change with the times. We must be proactive and embrace new ideas to help us move forward. We can use AI to improve our skills and abilities. So let's not be afraid of AI. Embrace it and use it to our advantage. Final words It’s still early, so we can’t say anything for sure, but the signs are here. Some fields will be changed for good, and technology will do what it’s created to do throughout history: tools to shoulder the work for us, allowing us to focus on our “human skills.” One thing’s for certain, though: we will watch its trajectory with great interest. As Glen Cathey wrote, “I can guarantee no one has thought of all potential use cases yet (good and bad). In fact, while it certainly has limitations, ChatGPT's full potential can only be truly explored through creative requests and inquiries. In a sense - its limits are your limits.” I’d love to hear from you: have you tried any AI tools in your work, and (how) has it helped you?

What are the consequences of AI making our lives easier and better? What jobs will be lost and what happens when they are gone? And how should product managers think about the new, bundling phase we’ve entered? In this week’s episode of the Practical Product podcast, you’ll hear my thoughts, and some quotes from others related to a few key topics that have been top of mind lately: What it means to now be in a bundling phase for tech and how PMs should adjust their strategies. A problematic mindset I see and hear in too many PMs. The truth about AI and the future of work. Will we really see jobs disappear? Practical Rants: Why intellectuals are wrong about AI, what PMs must do as we enter the Bundling Phase, and a key mindset PMs must avoid This episode is a collection of my thoughts on some trending topics I am seeing in the world of tech and product management relevant to PMs: 1. We are in a Bundling Phase: How can we as Product Managers bundle our offerings for consumers who are concerned about economic instability? We need to establish our products as absolute must have’s in the eyes of our customers and recognize the new market dynamics to survive and thrive . 2. Let’s stop the Self-Deprecation in Product Managers: Don’t be the “this is fine” dog meme, be part of the solution when you see negative trends within the culture or product at your organization. 3. The Truth about AI & the Future of Work: I break down a clip from Yuval Noah Harai and his horrendous take on the “Useless Class” of folks he predicts will grow as technology continues to advance. We must shut push back on this rhetoric and build tools for an abundant AI future. You can listen on your favorite platform or in the player below: Highlights of the episode include discussing: (1:27) – Bundling within companies amidst economic uncertainty (6:34) – What to do as a PM when you see customer churn due to bundling (10:23) – Understand your secret sauce (12:37) – Self-Deprecation in Product Managers (17:29) – Yuval Noah Harari on the “Useless Class” & The future of work with AI (29:22) – Product Managers can be part of the solution (32:04) – Final Thoughts & Recap Key Show Notes & Further Reading: 1) Now entering the Bundling Phase… I saw a tweet from my old boss and mentor, Hiten Shah, that really hit home: The great rebundling of B2B SaaS products is here, and it's going to be here for a while. Product managers, it's time to build! — Hiten Shah (@hnshah) October 3, 2022 That got me thinking…why now? + so many tools it’s hard to manage + economic situation looking for cost savings = incentives for bundling again https://t.co/XFfFQSoNsP — Jason Evanish (@Evanish) October 3, 2022 Now you have the combined argument of: We had too many tools to manage. IT hated this. It was a security and info management nightmare. Budget cuts. You’d rather cut a tool than an employee. And there’s an easy case to make to decision makers that, “hey, this big system does all these things. Let’s cancel all the other tools and consolidate on this.” And for PMs, this means you need to consider a few key tactics to navigate this reality: Look for breadth over depth in feature building. In a consolidation phase especially, you’ll be competing against a lengthy feature checklist, where one system that does everything gets the purchase, and there’s no second place.

Take advantage of integrations and APIs . If you integrate with tools they use, it helps keep you sticky.

Build for the right ecosystems. Microsoft and Salesforce are two of the biggest heavy hitters. They’re exactly what people are going to consolidate on because it’s so easy to. Be prepared for push back though…both are miserable to build on. Microsoft and Salesforce are two of the biggest heavy hitters.

You need to know how you’re winning and losing deals. Find out how account management is doing trying to retain key accounts and what they’re saying they’re thinking about. You need to know how you’re winning and losing deals. Find out how account management is doing trying to retain key accounts and what they’re saying they’re thinking about. Understand your secret sauce and champions. What’s unique about your company? What do you do better than most? What critical thing do you deliver that will have someone with influence at a customer banging the table to keep you? If you don’t have it you better get it. If you do, make sure that feature stays great. Don’t let the goose that lays the golden eggs get hurt. 2) The problem of self-deprecation for product managers. While this meme can be funny, it shouldn’t be your main identity as a product manager: It sends a bad message to everyone around you if you’re constantly self deprecating about your job: It makes you sound like a victim, and potentially setting you up to welcome more abuse It creates a self-fulfilling prophecy where you look for confirmation of this negative way of living as a product manager. Build for and focus on the positive direction. It sends a bad external message to other PMs that “this is the job.” And maybe in some cases “this is the job” but ask yourself if that’s what you really want? 3) Why AI is NOT going to cause massive unemployment. Harari is a monster disguised as an intellectual. The ignorance of Harari is staggering. He oversimplifies things and has such an out of touch view of reality. These changes always happen. Every time there’s talk of this concern. There used to be tons of jobs for horses before cars: Poop shovelers, veterinarians, horse feed, etc. And cars of course created jobs: car dealers, mechanics, all the many parts needing manufactured, car washes, windshield repair, gas stations and the entire oil industry, etc. There were floors and floors of accountants and bookkeepers, and then the spreadsheet came along…and with the rise of computers, I think we can all see the many jobs they created, and how information and services were democratized. There are plenty of jobs to fill In today’s world, it’s crazy for someone to argue there are no jobs. There are tons of opportunity all around us: We have organizations like Bloomtech happily training people, many coming from “low skill” jobs. happily training people, many coming from “low skill” jobs. Most tech jobs are self taught, too! Can you major in sales or product management? Can you major in sales or product management? There are tons of labor jobs that no robot will take for some time, which as of now is estimated to be over 4 million jobs, and once again there are training jobs like Mike Rowe Works. This means that even if some jobs are displaced by AI, there’s no reason to believe there won’t be work for these people. AI makes jobs more efficient, not eliminated. Not one reply to this great question about copywriting AI mentions anyone losing their jobs: I know these ai copy apps make a ton of money so clearly someone is using them – who here actually uses one regularly? What do you do with it? — Laura Roeder (@lkr) October 11, 2022 And similarly, Github’s AI is making engineers faster, not taking their jobs: AI is evolving at a crazy pace. There’s a huge opportunity for a “GitHub Copilot” for almost all knowledge work (legal, finance, support, IT tickets, etc.), and the ability automate large sets of repetitive tasks to have humans freed up to focus on the harder ones. — Aaron Levie (@levie) October 18, 2022 When you free up a worker’s time, they can do more and different things. Product Managers can be part of the solution. If you’re working on a product that uses AI, think about how you can help make a better future for workers: Build your tools to make their jobs faster and better, not replace them. You’ll get less adoption resistance and they’ll become your loyal fans. Make your interfaces more accessible and easy to use. This will allow newcomers to use your product, and speed up adoption. Harari is a monster and a terrible human being. Harari is an example of an intellectual monster. He is giving speeches like the video embedded above to world leaders at places like the World Economic Forum. He has a large platform and the ears of people that make his ideas very dangerous. Did you know that part of Nazi eugenics called some people, “useless eaters”? To use phrases like the “Useless Class”, is the first step to genocide and should be condemned fully, especially in intellectual conversations as we all develop technology people will be using every day. Do not fall for those false pity ideas from false intellectuals. There will always be jobs. And every new technology creates new jobs and opportunities as much as it may eliminate a few old ones. We as product managers have the opportunity to be a part of the solution and create the future that helps everyone, and does not consider anyone “useless.

Role Of AI In Reshaping The Future Of HR	Role Of AI In Reshaping The Future Of HR	https://paybooks.in	[]	As work nature evolves with technological infiltration, boundaries between machines and humans are fading. Emerging technologies like artificial intelligence ...	A lot has changed over the past years regarding how people and companies work. Human resource is under intense pressure to cope with the latest industry innovations and transformations. Moreover, this is the period of reinventing HR to control people and businesses with technology and automate tasks. As work nature evolves with technological infiltration, boundaries between machines and humans are fading. Emerging technologies like artificial intelligence are making human jobs redundant, and on the other hand, human skills get the limelight for creativity and critical thinking. Artificial intelligence (AI) leads HR departments to help HR professionals with recent trends and updates, analyze employees, and streamline talent acquisition to take action. It allows professionals to gather human data and transform the functionality of HR departments. Nearly all occupations transform by automation, but only 5% can adapt to total automation by current technologies. Amidst the changes, HR departments should proactively prepare for future work and enable man and machine to co-work efficiently. Read on to understand the impact of AI on HR departments and professionals and its upcoming challenges in the following sections. Why Do HR Departments Need Artificial Intelligence (AI)? Workplaces are evolving dynamically, so professionals and employees can not stay within offices. It is challenging for the HR departments to communicate and engage with employees. AI can help here. It can analyse data regarding employee behaviour and generate insights for decision-making. Therefore, AI solutions transform HR and empower employees regarding business decisions. Here’s how artificial intelligence can benefit HR functions across several industries. 1. Employee Recruitment The first step in automating the work of HR departments is handling recruitment. The ongoing task of recruitment takes up much of HR’s time. However, with artificial intelligence, the man-hours reduce, and HR can focus on more specific tasks. With AI, most of the recruitment process is automated, including communicating with employees, shortlisting resumes, scheduling interviews, and onboarding. Artificial intelligence can answer basic questions to all applicants regarding job matches and interview preparation. When AI takes care of all this, HR departments can focus on employee engagement, performance appraisals, and recognition. 2. Training And Development The second way of transforming HR departments is through handling training and development. Every company must upgrade employees’ skills to complete the job and take up new tasks. AI tools generate training and development programs in the company to customize every employee’s needs. It bridges the gap between the current skills and future needs to handle the changes quickly. Most AI tools match the employee skills making it easy to find internal hiring resources. Artificial intelligence offers many options to enhance an industry’s training and development sector. 3. Handling Complaints Do you know that HR personnel spends quality time handling numerous customer complaints? The queries or complaints come from new employees or people from the workplaces regarding their positions or assigned work. The questions can come for interview selection, resume collection, performance appraisals, or grievances. Artificial intelligence (AI) tool in the HR department offers an advantage for HR workers. It positively cuts down the number of emails and phone calls with live chat bots under a centralized platform. It helps to address employee queries, offer follow-up suggestions, and answer all complaints. 4. Automate Administrative Tasks HR personnel handles enormous administrative tasks at the entry level to match the industry requirements. Some of this work is monotonous and time-consuming but essential to follow. Here are the administrative tasks HR departments handle. Updating employee information with recent changes in the internal database Managing and verifying employee documents Drafting and generating organization rules and regulations Data entry work Following legal compliances Artificial intelligence (AI) takes up all this work and fully automates the HR departments with customizations. 5. Influences Decision-Making Artificial intelligence tools influence decision-making on behalf of the HR departments. Implementation of AI tools provides accurate information and analytics for controlling company decisions. Industries can use AI tools to conduct surveys, collect employee feedback, and analyze business-centric data. It determines employee engagement, performance, and improvements in respective sectors. The tools identify the inefficiencies and bring them to the notice of HR leaders, who make decisions using valuable and specific data. Challenges in Adopting Artificial Intelligence For HR Article intelligence adds immense value to all HR functions and organizations, but it also poses some hurdles to overcome. For example, employees find it difficult to interact with the AI software and worry about their wrongdoings. It happens because of algorithms that are emotionless and insensitive, unlike humans. Additionally, employees have questions about the fair evaluation of their work and the credibility of the AI system. Therefore, it is essential to employ people in AI processes to check the algorithms and train them with interactions. However, challenges still need to be addressed with the readiness of the employees to collaborate with the technology. Organizations explore this by re-skilling employees in the digital system. Moreover, it normalizes embracing the fundamentals of HR and enables employees to thrive in ever-evolving workplaces. About 60% of workers in India currently follow AI systems in the HR departments, where more female employees than males find it difficult to use. Bottom Line Undoubtedly, AI impacts the HR department positively as a substantial and sustainable change for the future. This technology and HR tools keep changing with time and are flexible for the employees to upgrade. Industries use AI to remove monotonous HR jobs and analyze employee data to make decisions. Therefore, it creates a holistic impact on the industries and their employees to handle their tasks.	2022-12-27T00:00:00	2022/12/27	https://paybooks.in/how-artificial-intelligence-is-shaping-the-future-of-human-resource-management/	[ { "date": "2022/12/28", "position": 87, "query": "future of work AI" } ]
How Amazon Uses AI to Automate Work in Its Corporate ...	Amazon's Hands off the Wheel Is a Sign of What's to Come in AI Automation	https://www.reworked.co	[ "Alex Kantrowitz", "About The Author" ]	Nearly all companies will soon have workplace AI on par with the tech giants. Here's what to expect.	When I wrote my book, "Always Day One," I wanted to open up the tech giants’ method of doing business to the outside world. My sense was that by revealing their leadership practices, processes and internal technology, I could hand their playbook to those seeking to compete with them or emulate the constructive parts of their businesses. As I reported the book, I was struck by how deeply artificial intelligence was already ingrained in their cultures. With in-house AI research labs that rank among the globe’s best, the tech giants were automating wide swaths of their operations and changing the nature of work within their companies. This commitment to AI in the workplace is newly relevant as powerful tools like Dall-E, ChatGPT and similar make their way into the public’s hands. As access to this powerful technology spreads, nearly all companies will soon have tools like those I saw inside Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google and Microsoft. So work inside our companies will change as well. What follows is an excerpt from the book looking at one of the most fascinating programs I came across, Amazon’s Hands Off The Wheel. How Amazon Uses AI to Automate Work Humans are predictable, Amazon knows it well. “Pick a ZIP code, and Amazon can pretty much tell you what people wear, buy, and do in that ZIP code,” said Neil Ackerman, an ex–Amazon general manager. “Go from house to house. They wear the same clothes, they eat the same food, they decorate the same, they buy the same stuff. It could be different colors, but they’re mostly predictable.” With 25 years of data at its disposal, Amazon knows what we want, when we want it, and it’s likely already sent the next thing you’re going to order to a fulfillment center near you. Amazon knows a surge in winter coat orders is coming in the fall. But not only that, it knows certain ZIP codes buy lots of North Face jackets, so it can load up on North Faces in nearby warehouses. Using this knowledge, Amazon is automating an array of work in its corporate offices under a program called Hands off the Wheel. Amazon’s fulfillment centers get stocked with products before you buy them. And traditionally, Amazon has employed “vendor managers” to make this process run smoothly. A vendor manager working with Tide, for instance, figures out how much detergent to place at each Amazon fulfillment center, when it needs to be there, and how much Amazon will pay per unit. Then, they negotiate the price with Tide and place the orders. The position was prestigious inside Amazon until recently. It was fun, relationship-oriented, and put Amazonians in contact with the globe’s top brands. Then, in 2012, Amazon’s senior leadership began examining whether people really needed to be doing these tasks. If the humans were predictable, Amazon’s algorithms could potentially determine what products needed to be in which fulfillment centers, when they needed to be there, in what quantity, and for what price. And they could probably do it better. “Buyers in a traditional manner do the same thing over and over again,” Ackerman said. “They get a call, they get a sales pitch, they buy an amount of product, they usually buy the wrong amount because they’re humans, and lo and behold, people buy the products, and it’s a cycle. When you have actions that can be predicted over and over again, you don’t need people doing that. And frankly, computers, or algorithms, or machine learning, are smarter than people.” Understanding this, Amazon’s leaders decided to attempt to automate traditional vendor manager responsibilities including forecasting, pricing and purchasing. People inside Amazon began calling this initiative Project Yoda. Instead of having vendor managers do the work, Amazon would use the Force. In November 2012, Ralf Herbrich joined Amazon as its director of machine learning. One of his early goals was to get this project off the ground. “I remember when I started. We had a lot of manual decision-making and forecasting still happening,” Herbrich, who left Amazon in late 2019, told me via phone from Berlin. “We were starting to look into algorithms; in fact, it was one of my launch projects.” Herbrich and his team — which fluctuated from a few dozen machine-learning scientists to more than a hundred — spent the next few years hunkered down trying to bring Project Yoda to life. They initially tried a few textbook machine-learning approaches, which were ideal for predicting orders for products purchased at high volume, but broke when applied to products purchased sporadically. “They worked nice on maybe one hundred or one thousand products,” Herbrich said of the textbook methods. “But we had twenty million to do.” So they tinkered. Each time Herbrich’s team came up with a new formula, they used it to simulate the previous year’s orders, trying to figure out how it did versus Amazon’s actual numbers with human workers. With trial and error, Herbrich’s predictions got good enough that Amazon began putting them right in its employees’ workflow tools. Vendor managers now saw predictions for how many units of products to stock in each region. Vendor managers (and their colleagues who assisted with product ordering) used these systems to “augment their decision-making,” as Herbrich put it. In 2015, the initiative once known as Project Yoda became Hands off the Wheel, a name that’s less subtle. Instead of simply taking the AI’s predictions into account as they made their decisions, Amazon vendor managers would take their hands off the wheel and let the system do its work. Soon, Amazon’s senior team set high goals for the percentage of retail employee actions that should be entirely hands off the wheel. Manual interventions were discouraged, and in some cases had to be approved by category managers (quasi-CEOs in their own right). Vendor managers’ jobs soon changed profoundly. “We were not able to order as much as we used to with the freedom and flexibility that we used to be able to,” Elaine Kwon, a former vendor manager, told me. “At some point, if I’m preparing for a big holiday, I spend a lot of my time thinking about what to order. That is a buyer’s job, to figure out what to buy. That’s slowly getting taken away too. [Management] was like, ‘No we’re not going to have you guys do that.’” At a meeting about Hands off the Wheel goals, an ex–Amazon employee I’ll call Tim, who asked to remain anonymous, fearing retribution, said he brought up what was quickly becoming evident. “So, just to be blunt, we should probably find different job functions, because we’re clearly working ourselves out of a job here?” he said. The room laughed, but Tim was serious. And eventually, the presenter said yes, this would decrease the amount of human involvement. “They essentially said yes but didn’t want to put too fine a point on it,” Tim explained. Hands off the Wheel eventually extended across the entire retail organization. Forecasting, pricing, purchasing and inventory planning are now being done with the assistance of, or entirely through, automation. Merchandising, marketing and even negotiation are also partially automated inside Amazon. When suppliers want to make a deal with Amazon, they now often negotiate with a computer portal instead of a vendor manager. The car is driving itself.	2022-12-28T00:00:00		https://www.reworked.co/digital-workplace/how-amazon-uses-ai-to-automate-work-in-its-corporate-headquarters/	[ { "date": "2022/12/28", "position": 15, "query": "workplace AI adoption" }, { "date": "2022/12/28", "position": 61, "query": "machine learning workforce" } ]
