Bringing the power of AI to the Internet of Things

The Internet of Things is getting smarter. Companies are incorporating artificial intelligence—in particular, machine learning—into their IoT applications. The key: finding insights in data.

With a wave of investment, a raft of new products, and a rising tide of enterprise deployments, artificial intelligence is making a splash in the Internet of Things (IoT). Companies crafting an IoT strategy, evaluating a potential new IoT project, or seeking to get more value from an existing IoT deployment may want to explore a role for AI. Read More

AI in IoT: 4 Examples on How to Make Use of It

Technologies like Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) tell us that the future is now. Remarkably, these technology concepts perfectly complement each other. The number of connected devices will only expand and the mass of data produced by them will grow to head-spinning volumes. AI can help organizations gain meaningful insights from big data that IoT provides. But how do you get the insights? Has anyone already made use of AI in IoT? Let’s take a look. Read More

Artificial Intelligence And IP (Part I)

AI today is pretty incredible and prevalent in everyday interactions, from using Apple’s Siri as a personal assistant to interacting with Amazon’s Alexa at home to using chatbots on social media. As better algorithms are developed, broader data sets are provided for training, these systems continue to learn, and we have improved outputs. In 2016, for example, “The Next Rembrandt” project produced an impressive “new Rembrandt” painting more than 400 years after the master artist died. While the creators of the project acknowledge that the computer-created Rembrandt wouldn’t fool an art expert, it is still a remarkable display of machine-learning and output. As AI improves to the point where it can create art works, write newspaper articles, create new songs, or produce full-length movie scripts and novels, a number of intellectual property questions arise.

They will do more of the mundane tasks so humans don’t have to.

The next time you sit down to watch a movie, the algorithm behind your streaming service might recommend a blockbuster that was written by AI, performed by robots, and animated and rendered by a deep learning algorithm. An AI algorithm may have even read the script and suggested the studio buy the rights. Read More

The new Artificial Intelligence frontier of VFX

If there’s a buzz phrase right now in visual effects, it’s “machine learning.” In fact, there are three: machine learning, deep learning and artificial intelligence (A.I.). Each phrase tends to be used interchangeably to mean the new wave of smart software solutions in VFX, computer graphics and animation that lean on A.I. techniques.

Already, research in machine and deep learning has helped introduce both automation and more physically-based results in computer graphics, mostly in areas such as camera tracking, simulations, rendering, motion capture, character animation, image processing, rotoscoping and compositing. Read More

Bill Gates says AI should improve education and medicine

“The world hasn’t had that many technologies that are both promising and dangerous,” Gates said Monday, mentioning nuclear energy and nuclear weapons as other examples with that much potential for profound change. As for areas where AI has helped society so far, he said, “I won’t say there are that many.” But that doesn’t have to be the case. He singled out medicine and education as areas where AI could help out the humans while speaking at a conference run by the new Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence.

How To Develop An Artificial Intelligence Strategy: 9 Things Every Business Must Include

Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to transform every business – in the same way (and possibly more) as the internet has utterly transformed the way we do business. From smarter products and services to better business decisions and optimised (or even automated) business processes, AI has the power to change almost everything. Those businesses that don’t capitalise on the transformative power of AI risk being left behind. Read More
