What’s the Industrial Internet of Things?
(Part 2)
Internet of Things (IoT) applications are so encompassing that they work in the background where we can’t see them, using devices that many of us already own, like smartwatches and smart home appliances. But industrial IoT (IIoT) is a different breed of technology that will truly be all-encompassing: It will track materials from the source […]
Dogtown Media CEO Talks Tech at ACT’s “Developed | The App Economy” Tour
It’s no secret that launching a mobile app can be a complex and stressful endeavor. Where you do go to find top-tier mobile app developers? How do you ensure your final product passes the guidelines of Google Play and Apple’s App Store? Where can you find customers? And how do you even fund your app’s […]
AI + Biology = The World’s First “Living Robot”?
Merging artificial intelligence (AI) development and biology is the stuff of science fiction. Or, at least, it used to be — a team of researchers has revealed that they’ve created the first “living robots.” And it could change how we understand AI, approach healthcare, and preserve our environment. A Recipe for New Life? Last month, […]
AI Could Help Alleviate America’s Approaching Mental Health Crisis
The U.S. is experiencing a chronic shortage of medical professionals. Of course, this includes physicians. But psychiatrists will also be in scant supply. In five years, the U.S.’s supply of psychiatrists will be 15,600 short of the demand from patients, according to a 2017 study from the National Council for Behavioral Health. AI Can Lend […]
What’s the Industrial Internet of Things?
(Part 1)
The Internet of Things (IoT) is growing at an unprecedented rate. But it turns out that this is just the beginning; experts predict the technology will grow even faster once it reaches its full potential in the industrial and manufacturing fields. In industrial IoT (IIoT), smart sensors, actuators, devices, and people make up the IoT […]
Will AI Take Over the Process of Invention?
Artificial intelligence (AI) development has made leaps and bounds in recent years — to the point that the technology is now assisting inventors in a variety of ways, such as identifying promising new materials or drugs. But what happens when AI is solely responsible for the actual act of invention itself? An Artificial Inventor Ryan […]
How AI Can Help or Hurt IoT Security
If there’s something that almost all emerging technologies are lacking, it’s strong cybersecurity standards and protocols. We’ve been developing innovative applications freely and creatively, but if we don’t keep an eye on hacking trends and enterprise-level security standards, we’re going to see customers, profits, and business value drop quickly. In fact, lack of cybersecurity in […]
Wearables Have Entered the Healthcare Space – and They’re Here to Stay
Healthcare wearables are a growing market for consumers. These devices, manufactured and developed by the likes of Garmin, Fitbit, and Apple, show a person’s heart rate, steps, sleep quality, and more in real-time. Whether you’re health-conscious or fitness-minded, wearables now offer something for everyone. Consequently, more consumers than ever before are using wearables to track […]
AI and Machine Learning Are Transforming How We Learn
Take your seats. School is now in session. And artificial intelligence (AI) is here to help you learn better! From taking care of grading to tailoring coursework and helping students prepare for tests, AI is revamping every aspect of education. Let’s explore how. Re-engineering Learning At Gloucester County Christian School in Sewell, New Jersey, something […]
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 […]
