Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Release the Kraken! You are undoubtedly familiar with that famous catchphrase as especially uttered by actor Liam Neeson in The Clash of the Titans when he commands that the legendary sea monster be released, aiming to wreak immense havoc and outsized destruction. The line has been endlessly repeated and spawned all manner of memes. Despite the various parodies, most people still at least viscerally sense that the remark foretells something of a shadowy and dangerous emergence is about to be unleashed. Perhaps the same sentiment can be applied these days to Artificial Intelligence (AI). Allow me to elaborate. A recent announcement indicated that a now resoundingly famous AI app called ChatGPT made by the organization OpenAI is soon going to be made available for access by other programs. This is big news. I say this even though little of the regular media has picked up on the pronouncement.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin China and the U.S. have reached parity in the development of artificial intelligence, but China’s implementation of the technology in products and services is likely to edge ahead in 2023. As Kaifu Lee, a keen observer of AI development in China has put it, “we're now in the age of AI implementation.” While the West, the U.S. and Canada in particular, will remain ahead in AI research, those Western advances are quickly adopted in China where the massive market, a surfeit of young engineers, government support and a cutthroat entrepreneurial culture are driving industrial innovation in AI. “The digital and real economies are accelerating their integration,” said Baidu’s Chief Technology Officer, Haifeng Wang, who is also Head of Baidu Research. China's 14th Five-Year Plan and Vision 2030 both place a strong focus on the development of the digital economy, seeing this sector as a source of tremendous untapped innovative … [Read more...] about China’s AI Implementation Is Edging Ahead Of The US

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Data is eating the world. Or as Tom Davenport and Randy Bean write in their forward to a just-published survey , “Data, and the ability to make sense of it, has been one of the greatest drivers of innovation in both business and society in recent decades, and a primary driver of economic success in the 21st century.” The 11th annual survey of Chief Data Officers (CDOs) and Chief Data and Analytics Officers (CDAOs), conducted by NewVantage Partners, A Wavestone Company, collected data from 116 Fortune 1000 companies and large organizations, with 84.6% of survey respondents holding the Chief Data or Chief Data and Analytics Officer title. This figure is up 10% from last year’s survey and nearly 20% in five years, reflecting the continued growth and adoption of the CDO/CDAO role across organizations and industries. When the survey was first conducted in 2012, only 12% of the organizations surveyed had appointed a CDO/CDAO. … [Read more...] about A New Survey Finds Increasing Business Impact Of Data And AI Executives

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Lung cancer is a devastating disease. According to the World Health Organization , lung cancer is one of the most common causes of death worldwide, accounting for nearly 2.21 million cases in 2020 alone. Importantly, the disease can be progressive; that is, for many, it may start out as just mild symptoms that raise no alarm, before quickly evolving into a life-threatening diagnosis, leading to death. Fortunately, the range of therapeutics focused on helping patients with lung cancer has grown tremendously in the last two decades. However, early detection of the cancer is still one of the only means to significantly decrease mortality rates. One notable accomplishment in this arena is the recent announcement by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Mass General Hospital (MGH) regarding the development of a deep learning model named “Sybil” that can be used to predict lung cancer risk, using data from just a … [Read more...] about MIT & Mass General Hospital Have Developed An AI System That Can Detect Lung Cancer

Google parent company Alphabet announced that roughly 12,000 people will be laid-off. Last month, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, Google’s founders, held several meetings with company executives. The topic: a rival’s new chatbot, a clever artificial intelligence product that looked as if it could be the first notable threat in decades to Google’s $149 billion search business. Page and Brin, who had not spent much time at Google since they left their daily roles with the company in 2019, reviewed Google’s AI product strategy, according to two people with knowledge of the meetings who were not allowed to discuss them. They approved plans and pitched ideas to put more chatbot features into Google’s search engine. And they offered advice to company leaders, who have put AI front and center in their plans. The re-engagement of Google’s founders, at the invitation of the company’s current CEO, Sundar Pichai, emphasized the urgency felt among many Google executives about AI and that … [Read more...] about Google calls in help from Larry Page and Sergey Brin for AI fight

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Stephen Ritter is Chief Technology Officer at Mitek , a global leader in mobile deposit and digital identity verification solutions. Lately, the crescendo of calls for more scrutiny into the algorithms that—whether we know it or not—shape our daily lives has drawn me back to the AI Bill of Rights draft developed by the U.S. Office of Science and Technology and released in 2022. I've called for moving this concept forward because it's time. However, in thinking about it more deeply, I also think it is required. As business leaders, we need it. The current draft is designed to serve as a catalyst for conversation about what should be in the final version. I'd say the majority of feedback so far has been on data and human privacy, which makes perfect sense to me as a data privacy guy. However, what's missing is adequate recognition of the ethical and even moral aspects of deploying machine learning and AI. … [Read more...] about It’s Time To Look Harder At The Morality Of AI
