Welcome to the Momenta Learning News on Artificial Intelligence. This is issue 72, please feel free to share this post.
Scientists reckon there have been at least five mass extinction events in the history of our planet, when a catastrophically high number of species were wiped out in a relatively short period of time. We are possibly now living through a sixth –

GliaLab, co-founded by Chicago high school senior Abu Qader, wants to cut the human error out of diagnosing cancer. About 12% of women in the US will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of their lifetime, and there are expected to be close to 250,000 new cases of breast cancer in 2016 alone.

The Vermont countryside provides a beautiful backdrop to the headquarters of the Terasem Movement Foundation, where Bruce Duncan is busy working on changing the future as we know it. Seeker Stories correspondent, Laura Ling, visited Terasem and Duncan to get a sense of what could be around the corner in artificial intelligence.

Why artificial intelligence is enjoying a renaissance THE TERM “artificial intelligence” has been associated with hubris and disappointment since its earliest days. It was coined in a research proposal from 1956, which imagined that significant progress could be made in getting machines to “solve kinds of problems now reserved for humans…if a carefully selected group of scientists work on it together for a summer”.

MIT researchers have developed a form of artificial intelligence (AI) capable of accurately anticipating human interactions by training it to learn social cues from YouTube videos. It is hoped that the development will further progress in the field of computer vision, specifically towards creating intelligent systems capable of predicting events before they occur.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is used for more than just collecting data and predicting outcomes. It can be used to create better consumer experiences in a multitude of ways. The more consumer-centric your services are, the higher the conversion rate your brand is going to notice.

In this session, we’ll talk about how that artificial intelligence works, what it is capable of, and most importantly, how it can help your business.

A new paradigm will shake up the IP landscape, as cognitive activities once performed by humans will now increasingly be performed by machines. Artificial intelligence and machine learning (collectively AI) are hot topics in almost every industry, affecting everything from robotics, autonomous vehicles, and consumer devices to health and pharmaceutical technologies.
