To understand the problem of bias in artificial intelligence (AI), we have to understand the definitions of bias. The common definition of bias is that algorithms learn whatever patterns the creator of the data presents. AI bias is a bias that mirrors the prejudice…
Summary: Machine learning algorithm produced fewer decision-making errors than professionals when it came to clinical diagnosis of patients. Source: University of Montreal It’s an old adage: there’s no harm in getting a second opinion. But what if that second opinion could be generated by…
Artificial intelligence and machine learning play an extensive role in catching frauds. Machine learning refers to analytic techniques that “learn” patterns in datasets without being guided by a human analyst. Artificial intelligence refers to the broader application of specific kinds of analytics…
AI is becoming strategic for many companies across the world. The technology can be transformative for just about any part of a business. But AI is not easy to implement. Even top-notch companies have challenges and failures. So what can be done?…
More women are now taking up roles in artificial intelligence (AI), accounting for nearly a quarter of global jobs in new-age technology, said Hoda Al Khzaimi, president of Emirates Digital Association for Women. The number of women pursuing careers in AI is…
What a ride it has been in the Transportation and Logistics (T&L)sector regarding the B2C eCommerce growth boom world-wide, much of this driven by the global retail sales growth during COVID-19. This accelerated growth and now with global trade rapidly rebounding, the…
