Embedded AI, Machine Learning, and Analytics

New forms of systems of intelligence are emerging through embedded artificial intelligence, machine learning, and analytics. These data-driven systems of intelligence are enabling digital disruption and new business models.

Many companies don’t know what steps to take to become digital, where to begin their journey to digital, or how to be sure they won’t waste money on innovation they can’t implement throughout their company to drive better business results. There is a massive opportunity to help companies take and complete this digital journey, not just to innovate, but to become scaled digital businesses.  In this Data Science Central webinar Join David Judge, Vice President, Chief Evangelist Leonardo at SAP, Bill Vorhies, Data Scientist, Editorial Director of Data Science Central, and Guilherme Rabello, Commercial and Market Intelligence Manager of InovaInCor, the Innovation department of the Heart Institute (InCor) in São Paulo as they discuss how new technologies are driving digital disruption and the need for innovation.

This is great for many reasons - it helps understand what each of these are actually are but it also gives you an insight into their development and where it is going to be going in the future.

How Conversational AI Will Change Customer Service by @VanRijmenam via @Datafloq

By 2020, approximately 20.4 billion devices are estimated to be connected to the internet. These IoT devices are getting smarter, connecting to intelligent applications, such as Amazon's Alexa or Apple's Siri, and helping consumers make transactions and complete tasks. However, they are also sparking conversational AI, and it stands to change customer service. Explore conversational AI, its benefits and challenges, and how it will help change customer service.

I love the fact that there are examples with real companies in this to help you have a context for it. I think this helps companies, customers and evn us as the consumer as it all feeds into the likes of Alexa and Siri.

How Blockchains can revolutionise the supply chain

These applications create an immutable single version of truth, allow near real-time sense and respond features, and require no central owner.

Great opinion and great example of a use for Blockchain.
