What You are Too Afraid to Ask About Artificial Intelligence (Part I): Machine Learning
AI is moving at a stellar speed and is probably one of most complex and present sciences. The complexity here is not meant as a level of difficulty in understanding and innovating (although of course, this is quite high), but as the degree of interrelation with other fields apparently disconnected. There are basically two schools of thought on how an AI should be properly … [Read more...] about What You are Too Afraid to Ask About Artificial Intelligence (Part I): Machine Learning
13 Predictions on Artificial Intelligence
We have discussed some AI topics in the previous posts, and it should seem now obvious the extraordinary disruptive impact AI had over the past few years. However, what everyone is now thinking of is where AI will be in five years time. I find it useful then to describe a few emerging trends we start seeing today, as well as make few predictions around machine learning future … [Read more...] about 13 Predictions on Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence: What is It and Why Now?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) represents nowadays a paradigm shift that is driving at the same time the scientific progress as well as the industry evolution. Given the intense level of domain knowledge required to really appreciate the technicalities of the artificial engines, what AI is and can do is often misunderstood: the general audience is fascinated by its development … [Read more...] about Artificial Intelligence: What is It and Why Now?
Why Artificial Intelligence is Now More Important Than Ever
The reason why we are studying AI right now more actively is clearly because of the potential applications it might have, because of the media and general public attention it received, as well as because of the incredible amount of funding investors are devoting to it as never before. Machine learning is being quickly commoditized, and this encourages a more … [Read more...] about Why Artificial Intelligence is Now More Important Than Ever

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.
