In media, the word bot tends to bring to mind a twitter account run by a computer program that spits out mostly nonsensical tweets at other users. Generating basic language may not seem like a big deal, but language generation is really where the practicality of an analytic bot starts and by no means where it ends. Analytic bots are able to analyze the behavior of the people … [Read more...] about Analytics Bots: What Are They and How Do They Work?

The Dilemma Of Unexplainable Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence has quickly become one of the hottest topics in analytics. For all the power and promise, however, the opacity of AI models threatens to limit AI's impact in the short term. The difficulty of explaining how an AI process gets to an answer has been a topic of much discussion. In fact, it came up in several talks in June at the O'Reilly Artificial … [Read more...] about The Dilemma Of Unexplainable Artificial Intelligence
The New CxO Gang: Data, AI, and Robotics
It has been said that this new wave of exponential technologies will threaten a lot of jobs, both blue and white-collar ones. But if from one hand many roles will disappear, from the other hand in the very short-term we are observing new people coming out from the crowd to lead this revolution and set the pace. These are the people who really understand both the technicalities … [Read more...] about The New CxO Gang: Data, AI, and Robotics
Artificial Intelligence: Influence, Perspectives and Benefits
It's hard to say till when the people's thoughts have been occupied by Artificial Intelligence. One of the first famous references to AI in the world literature was far away in 1939 in a novel Robbie by Isaac Asimov. For several centuries the humanity has already been captured with an idea to create robots with human qualities to be our partners. Mostly, we perceive AI as … [Read more...] about Artificial Intelligence: Influence, Perspectives and Benefits

What is artificial intelligence (AI)?
AI refers to the development of computer systems that are able to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as recognizing patterns, learning from experience, and problem-solving.
AI systems can be trained to perform these tasks through the use of algorithms and machine learning techniques, which allow them to analyze and interpret data and make decisions based on that analysis. AI has the potential to significantly improve the efficiency and accuracy of many tasks, and is being applied in a wide range of industries and applications.
+
How is artificial intelligence used?
AI is used in a variety of industries, including healthcare, finance, retail, and transportation, to improve efficiency and productivity.
For example, in healthcare, AI can be used to analyze medical images or electronic health records to identify patterns and make diagnoses, while in finance, it can be used to identify fraudulent activity or optimize investment strategies. In retail, AI can be used to personalize customer experiences or predict demand for products.

What are some examples of artificial intelligence?
Examples of AI include self-driving cars, language translation software, and virtual assistants like Apple’s Siri or Amazon’s Alexa.
Other examples include chatbots that can handle customer service inquiries, predictive analytics tools that can forecast future outcomes, and recommendation engines that can suggest products or content based on user preferences.

What are the potential risks and benefits of artificial intelligence?
AI has the potential to revolutionize industries and improve our daily lives, but it also raises ethical concerns and the risk of job displacement. One concern is the potential for AI systems to perpetuate or amplify biases present in the data used to train them, leading to unfair or discriminatory outcomes.
There is also the risk that AI could be used to automate tasks or make decisions that have negative consequences for humans.
On the other hand, the benefits of AI include improved efficiency and accuracy, the ability to process and analyze large amounts of data quickly, and the potential to tackle complex problems that are difficult for humans to solve.
