Artificial Intelligence in 2018

Artificial Intelligence research is currently focused on developing algorithms which allow humans and technology to communicate more naturally with each other, and ways to train those algorithms. The goal is to answer complicated questions in natural human language. AI and ML have made it possible to automate jobs normally requiring human discretion. These jobs include such skills as:

·         reading handwritten materials

·         identifying faces

·         learning

·         cognitive skills, such as planning, and reasoning using partial information

“AI techniques are evolving rapidly and organizations will need to invest significantly in skills, processes and tools to successfully exploit these techniques and build AI-enhanced systems. Investment areas can include data preparation, integration, algorithm and training methodology selection, and model creation. Multiple constituencies, including data scientists, developers, and business process owners will need to work together.

• The Gluon Endeavour

Amazon uses Artificial Intelligence. Amazon’s recommendation engine uses AI to predict a customer’s interests, with roughly 5-10 percentage accuracy. In an effort to improve prediction accuracy, Amazon has joined forces with Microsoft in offering a novel endeavour to use Machine Learning in teaching AI entities. The new platform, called Gluon, grants access to AI developers of all skill levels. The Gluon platform is described as making it easier for AI developers to design and develop neural networks.

• AI and Cyber Security

“Ironically, our best hope to defend against AI-enabled hacking is by using AI. AI can be used to defend and to attack cyber infrastructure, as well as to increase the attack surface that hackers can target, that is, the number of ways for hackers to get into a system. Business leaders are advised to familiarize themselves with the cutting edge of AI safety and security research.”

As businesses realize the importance of developing a cyber-security program, AI will become more popular. A well-constructed AI defence system can process years of attack history and learn various attack and defence strategies. It can create a baseline of normal user behaviour, and then search for anomalies, much faster than a human. This is significantly less expensive than maintaining a team of security professionals to deal with daily cyber-attacks. AI can also be used to develop defence strategies. Expect AI to become more heavily involved with Cyber Security in 2018 as well.
