AI: a critical assessment of its
\n<\/b>resurgence in the 21st century<\/b><\/p>\n
After more than thirty years in the wilderness, Artificial Intelligence is making a comeback and this time it looks as if robotic and process automations are sweeping the business and the manufacturing world by storm, replacing humans in many of the job tasks by constantly re-dividing the human-machine\/ job boundary. What are the driving forces behind this come back and will it show any sign of abating in the near future? What are the opportunities brought by this new wave of AI? Just how smart will machines become and will our jobs be eliminated. How can we shield ourselves from job displacement by AI and robots. These issues and more will be discussed in the talk.<\/p>\n

Applying AI to Language \u2013
\n5 Very different AI case studies<\/b><\/p>\n
Most applications of AI are focused around numeric challenges. However, recent applications of AI in the processing of text across languages is quickly changing the perspective of where machine learning and AI techniques can be applied to solve complex problems. Research and commercial development has now begun to focus on comprehensive workflows the leverage ensemble data from many sources into a more accurate and reliable outcomes that often far exceed human capabilities.<\/p>\n

\n need Behavioural Economics and Storytelling<\/strong><\/p>\nTas will scrutinise the current orthodoxy regarding Big Data, AI and algorithms and heretically suggest that to fully transform our businesses, add value and generate transformative insights from our knowledge, we need to avoid becoming \u201cslaves to the algorithm\u201d.<\/p>\n
Instead, the real fusion we need to create and design into our companies and cultures is that between AI (and Big Data) and two carbon-based disciplines \u2013 Behavioural Economics and Storytelling.<\/p>\n
So BE and Storytelling when fused with AI should help ensure that as The Singularity approaches humans will still have a role as generators of creativity, innovation and insightment.<\/p>\n

Managing customer experience
\nin an AI-filled future<\/b><\/p>\n
As the rush towards the use of artificial intelligence increases, companies across the financial services sector are exploring how to complement their customer support functions with AI. But how are customers reacting to the new experience? Is this an area of concern to them, or are they likely to welcome the evolution? KPMG China\u2019s Larry Campbell explores the psychology of the customer amidst these changes and what it might mean to companies<\/p>\n
