Predicting Mortality Rates With AI Could Save Lives
Artificial intelligence is impacting an array of industries. That’s because AI applications range from simple (chatbots and image identifiers) to extremely complex (using big data to find patterns and inform high-level decision-making). Due to its versatility, you’ve likely interacted with AI already while going about your day-to-day. However, for most of us, AI’s biggest impact […]
How Does the Internet of Things Actually Work?
By now, you’ve probably heard of the Internet of Things (IoT). Maybe you’ve even cobbled together a rough idea of what it is: a connected system of sensors, the cloud, and devices working together.
