AI in 2019: Advancements in Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing, and More
Artificial intelligence (AI) is advancing at a rapid-fire pace. This breakneck speed makes it hard to keep track of and evaluate every important AI development. To solve this problem, angel investor Ian Hogarth and RAAIS and Air Street Capital founder Nathan Benaich have put together the State of AI Report 2019. In this recently published […]
AI 101: What Is Machine Learning?
Self-driving cars… Online recommendations for what to binge-watch or buy next… Fraud detection… all of these are made possible through machine learning. Over the past few years, this branch of artificial intelligence (AI) has completely changed what’s possible with technology. But what exactly is machine learning? Although many of us use it each and every […]
AI and Machine Learning: What’s the Difference?
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning are both big buzzwords in the tech industry. But they’re often erroneously used interchangeably. At its core, AI comes from the field of computer science. On the other hand, machine learning is actually a subset of AI. So while the two subjects are inherently related, they are certainly not […]
Is Youth the Secret to Better AI Algorithms?
Artificial intelligence (AI) may be a subset of the well-defined and documented field of computer science, but the theory behind AI programming varies from developer to developer. For example, some view AI as a purely algorithmic true/false approach, while others believe AI should be modeled more closely after the human brain. Alan Turing, the famous […]
Another 5 Ways Artificial Intelligence Is Improving Healthcare
In 2018, Partners HealthCare, a Boston-based non-profit hospital and network of health providers, identified numerous artificial intelligence (AI) technologies bound to disrupt patient care during the next decade. But because of the rapid advancements of the last twelve months, the organization decided to focus this year’s list on AI innovations that will impact healthcare by […]
How AI Bias Actually Occurs (and Why It’s Difficult to Fix)
Today, the overwhelming majority of artificial intelligence (AI) applications are made possible through deep learning. This subset of machine learning relies on the process of applying deep neural network architectures to make decisions or solve problems. Basically, multiple algorithm layers are applied to analyze a problem and produce a “probability vector,” which might say something […]
4 Ways Artificial Intelligence Is Improving Healthcare In the Next Year
Artificial intelligence (AI) is accelerating innovative solutions to longstanding problems across various industries. And nowhere is this more evident than healthcare. Partners HealthCare, a Boston-based non-profit network of health providers, identified numerous AI technologies during its 2018 World Medical Innovation Forum that are primed to revolutionize patient care over the next decade.
