Towards Intelligent Machines - and Beyond! By Joni Zhong on Feb 23, 2018

I feel that academic researchers from different communities (e.g. psychology, computer science, and philosophy) have different expectations and targets to build an intelligent machine and we sometimes can't even find the common definitions about intelligence and its connection to cognition and consciousness itself. Here I will briefly introduce my own idea about the cognitive roadmap towards intelligent machines.

Machines are now intelligent, robots are ‘stealing jobs’, and your next meeting might be led by a bot. How will AI disrupt your life? By Emily Fernback on Feb 14, 2018

How would you feel if you were scheduled in for a operation only to hear that your surgeon was being replaced by a robot? Whilst this isn’t quite the stage machine intelligence in healthcare has reached, we’re creating more and more advanced machines striving to match human intelligence. In Hong Kong this June 6 - 7, we will be joined by experts in AI and Machine Intelligence at the Machine Intelligence Summit and AI in Healthcare Summit where we will explore the transformation of medical imaging, diagnosis, and the rise of intelligent machines to make sense of data, and to revolutionise healthcare applications.

Is it time to rethink the way we deal with AI content training? By Johnson Poh on Feb 06, 2018

When Alan Turing postulated what machine intelligence could do, his question gradually evolved into a more practical and implementable form – from ‘can machines think?’ to ‘can machines do what we can do?’ Fast forward to present day, the combination of databases and technology has made machine learning more relevant in solving multiple business challenges.

AI is the New CX Frontier but it comes with a Unique Set of Challenges By Kelsey Poulsen on Jan 23, 2018

Organizations that offer conversational interfaces, integrated omni-channel experiences, automated transactions and intelligent self-service will win both market share and mindshare in the future. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the new competitive battleground for delivering superior Customer Experience (CX). AI seamlessly integrates into the customer service value chain with self-service tools, virtual assistants, content search and discovery, and sentiment analysis.

Machine Learning: The catalyst to unlock the power of IIoT By Ripal Vyas on Jan 02, 2018

The Industrial Internet of Things has already started changing the way businesses have been handling their operations or at least has made them comprehend its potential, showing what it can do for them. But we are yet to realize the real value of IIoT, which can be gained by blending it with machine learning. Looking at the way Internet of Things is advancing and impacting various verticals, the maxim “experience makes a man perfect” seems to be true for machines as well. Like humans, machines too can develop abilities to operate efficiently by taking decisions based on their experiences; this realization has led to the invention of machine learning.

Heads up - Santa’s new sleigh can drive itself! By Yazmin How on Dec 24, 2017

In Christmas movies that have been released in recent years, Santa has upped his game bringing kids games consoles, laptops and all sorts, but his sleigh hasn’t seemed to quite match the times! This is all about to change with the JNGL64 - an autonomous sleigh to help Santa on his way this Christmas eve. ‘[Santa] can choose from four vanity license plates, five shades of red, and whether the vehicle has treads or skis. There’s even a variety of hood ornaments, including a reindeer, angel, snowman, and decorated Christmas tree.’
