IoT Will Be Everywhere and Encompass Everything – Are You Ready? (Part 1)
Due to its all-encompassing nature, the Internet of Things (IoT) can feel vague and nebulous. For example, it can refer to a Raspberry Pi-powered temperature control toggle, or it can refer to a dynamic lighting system managed by sensors. But this versatility is actually IoT’s strongest advantage. With a strong Internet connection, anything is possible […]
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 […]
Looking at Data in a Different Way Is Key to Unlocking Healthcare AI’s Value — Part 2
By providing the right dose of innovation, artificial intelligence (AI) can change modern medicine for the better. But a change in perspective on data is sorely needed to realize AI’s true potential. Welcome to the second part of our series on how looking at data in a different way can unlock more value from AI. […]
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 […]
Looking at Data in a Different Way Is Key to Unlocking Healthcare AI’s Value — Part 1
Famous futurist Roy Amara once said, “We tend to overestimate the effect of a technology in the short run and underestimate the effect in the long run.” From all of the hype and headlines surrounding the development of artificial intelligence (AI), it’d be safe to assume that the technology has fallen victim to this principle […]
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 […]
AI in Art: A Look at the Tech’s Impact on Creativity
For many experts, artificial intelligence (AI) that can complete creative and abstract work such as writing, composing music, and painting is the holy grail for the technology. But new creative AI applications are already pushing the frontier of what we know to be possible. “AI artists” are prevalent these days, and they’re actually quite good […]
Combining Wearables and AI Can Bring Some Big Benefits to Healthcare
Wearables are a low-risk method to collect high-quality patient data around the clock. When you add artificial intelligence (AI) into the mix, you open up opportunities for smarter analysis, more actionable insights, and better results. In England, patients leaving a group of hospitals in the southeast are receiving their own wireless, connected armbands. These wearables […]
How the Internet of Things Is Making Room for Better Robotics
The Internet of Things (IoT) is already bringing advancements in connectivity to numerous sectors, cities, work environments, and even households. But we’re really only tapping into the “tip of the iceberg” as far as this technology’s potential goes. Case in point: Robotics. In the past few decades, the field of robotics has grown exponentially. When […]
Thanks to AI and IoT, the Fourth Industrial Revolution Is Already Here
With advancements in machine learning, artificial intelligence (AI), and the Internet of Things (IoT), we’ve ushered in the fourth industrial revolution ahead of schedule. Using a variety of strategically-placed sensors, factories, warehouses, and manufacturing plants are already reaping the benefits of all three of these disruptive technologies. And It’s not simply because industrial enterprises have […]
