Can robots be trained to pick up objects they've never seen before? Recent research indicates that the best approach may be to allow robots to experiment on their own, and then share that knowledge with other robots. 

As modern tech continues to make our lives easier and more productive, it is itself growing more advanced by the day. Each day a new technology replaces an old one with better applications and increased development rate.

This year's Consumer Electronics Show (CES) highlighted 3 key technology trends, which should be driving your business over the next 12 months: voice activation, virtual reality and artificial intelligence. 

Conversational commerce is the new buzzword in town and many organizations are adopting it as a part of their marketing, sales, and customer care activities.

Artificial Intelligence is today’s buzzword that has been buzzing around more frequently with higher and ever-increasing intensity every passing day. Reason is as clear as a crystal: Its power and possibilities it can create.

With the growing advancements in artificial intelligence and robotics technologies, there arises a pertinent question – are we about to witness a Cambrian explosion of robots anytime soon?

AI has proved to be a talisman for multiple industries. Ever wondered about artificial intelligence examples that the common man is enjoying?

While humans are still struggling to understand each other, artificial intelligence will soon be able to manipulate our emotions to take control over us.

When technologies are shaking hands with one another, why can’t organizations from various verticals, especially when the question of survival looms over their heads? In these exciting times of automation outburst many old players are feeling the generous heat from the young disruptors. Seasoned insurers who used to bet highly on their in-house experts and primitive processes have begun to take notice; and notice seriously. They are now willing to partner with these potential collaborators who successfully bridge the gap amongst technologies, insurance processes, and Gen-Z demands.

In 2017, AI was everywhere. It seemed like every company added “AI” to their software whether it truly leveraged artificial intelligence or not. So let’s start with a definition of AI. Merriam-Webster defines it as 1) a branch of computer science dealing with the simulation of intelligent behavior in computers, and 2) the capability of a machine to imitate intelligent human behavior. Put through that basic filter, I believe we will see a big “AI Shakeout” in 2018.

I always frown a little bit when people call me "The Disruptor" or "The Fresh, New Voice on the Scene." Seriously, I just tell the truth. No lube. No sugarcoating. No bedtime story afterward. The truth has become something people fear hearing vs. actually wanting to hear it and using the information to avert disaster or stave off the inevitable for as long as they can. And it's caused alarming levels of complacency and ignorance to the storm that has already aligned its clouds and about ready to unleash a fury like we've only seen once or twice in history. So I'm about to dispense with a little truth that you're not going to like hearing, but is imperative for you to start wrapping your head around so that you can begin making some adjustments to your life to avoid, even circumvent the inevitable. Ready?

Business people, not to mention the public on a global basis, are getting increasingly excited, as well as concerned, about the potential of artificial intelligence (A.I.)—so much so that China’s growing involvement in A.I., and the vast quantity of data that China is capable of generating on a daily basis, has many wondering if the U.S. will be a leader or follower in this important technology category as the future unfolds.

The recent news from Facebook about shutting down its AI system that developed a language of its own opened up the debate again about the “existential threat” that AI brings to our world. A similar news came a few months ago from Google. Google AI translation tool invented its own internal language.

Confronting frauds and fraudsters is unarguably one of the most important and urgent strategic challenges every organization faces today. Fraud is no longer an occasional outlier arising from the incidental mistake from a compliance standpoint. It has taken a centre stage as it had begun to strike from multiple channels and routes thanks to technological advancements enabling ease of access.

With all the hype around “AI” and Machine Learning, I thought that I’d dabble in unpacking some of the key concepts. I find that most of my reading time now is spent in this area.

Improving cognitive performance is a strategic imperative for anticipatory leaders. Yet, cognitive performance slows down due to cognitive friction. Cognitive friction occurs when professionals can’t think through uncertainties clearly in their minds. These uncertainties include:

Artificial intelligence is the next big thing that technology geeks are after. Today’s technology-driven marketing world is now seeing an imminent use of artificial intelligence and its applications in the marketing domain. This is going to leave an imprint in the marketing space.

On the verge of becoming a transformational technology, Artificial Intelligence is now building relationships with humans. It would be interesting to see what follows.
