The Current State of Healthcare’s Digital Transformation (Part 3)
In many industries, technology is bringing new innovations and ideas to improve the day-to-day lives of employees, customers, and everyone in between. Healthcare is no exception; the field is seeing numerous new medical applications crop up across the world. In our previous post in the “Healthcare Digital Transformation” series, we looked into how big data, […]
A Look at AI’s Impact on Software Development
It’s no secret that recent developments in artificial intelligence (AI) have generated an absurd amount of hype. Whether it’s self-driving cars or beating Go champions at their own game, AI appears to be everywhere. But what about software development? The subject of AI’s impact on software development is usually eschewed in favor of more tantalizing […]
Google Lays Claim to Quantum Supremacy
Quantum supremacy has arrived! Researchers at Google have revealed that they’ve built a quantum computer that has beaten the world’s most powerful supercomputers at one type of calculation. The achievement comes much sooner than most industry insiders anticipated, and many of them are questioning the validity of Google’s claim. But if true, the tech titan’s […]
Can Machine Learning Solve Climate Change?
Climate change is the most pressing problem of our era. And how we approach solving it will define how humanity will survive on earth. This matter has caused many innovative thinkers to envision what a viable, sustainable future looks like. Perhaps electricity generated by renewable means will completely replace fossil fuels in transportation. Maybe we’ll […]
AI in 2019: Hardware, Automation, and High Stakes Politics
Do you know what the state of artificial intelligence (AI) development is in 2019? In a new report, angel investor Ian Hogarth and RAAIS and Air Street Capital founder Nathan Benaich answer this question by taking a deep dive into recent breakthroughs in the technology and new areas of application. The 136-slide work of research […]
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 […]
What Does the Future of Machine Learning Look Like?
Machine learning (ML), at its core, is a subset of artificial intelligence (AI). And it’s responsible for many of the AI advancements we have before us today. But it’s not a new field by any means; it first became a topic of research and discussion in the 1950s. Back in the day, ML used to […]
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 […]
