“…Finance and accounting (F&A) comprise mundane tasks highly suited for automation. Gartner cites that 89 per cent of general accounting operations and 72 per cent of financial controlling and reporting are automatable. “
“…In a new series of experiments, AI algorithms “were able to influence people’s preferences for fictitious political candidates or potential romantic partners”.
The question here is: should we be surprised?…”
“Spyfish Aotearoa is also being used to train artificial intelligence software. In the future, these models will be able to automatically identify and count the species. “Using machine learning will save a huge amount of time and resources, and produce data that can be used almost immediately,” says Anton.”
“An innovative artificial intelligence (AI) tool that will make it easier for countries to measure the contributions of nature to their economic prosperity and well-being was launched by the United Nations and the Basque Centre for Climate Change (BC3).”
“…Force-fitting brand and creator never works. Effective influencer marketing campaigns start with finding the right creator. Matching the correct creator to a brand goes beyond subjective keyword search. It requires objectively analysing every element of every content by every shortlisted creator…”

machine-learning algorithms to understand the intent behind user queries and return accurate, appropriate responses or courses of action that directly address users’ needs….”
“Students newly accepted by colleges and universities this spring are being deluged by emails and texts in the hope that they will put down their deposits and enroll. If they have questions about deadlines, financial aid and even where to eat on campus, they can get instant answers.
The messages are friendly and informative. But many of them aren’t from humans.”
“Artificial intelligence (AI) remains a very hot technology across most industries, with analyst firms such as Gartner predicting the number of AI projects continuing to increase within the next year.”
“Can artificial intelligence be deployed to slow down global warming, or is AI one of the greatest climate sinners ever? That is the interesting debate that finds (not surprisingly) representatives from the AI industry and academia on opposite sides of the issue.”
“Emotion recognition technology (ERT) is in fact a burgeoning multi-billion-dollar industry that aims to use AI to detect emotions from facial expressions. Yet the science behind emotion recognition systems is controversial: there are biases built into the systems. Many companies use ERT to test customer reactions to their products, from cereal to video games. “
“For a complex cancer surgery, London-based surgeon Dr Shafi Ahmed – renowned for performing the world’s first virtual reality operation and live-streaming it – sought help from Dr Shailesh Shrikhande, deputy director of Tata Memorial Hospital in Mumbai. They used a Microsoft Hololens to get connected remotely. The Hololens smartglasses uses sensors, advanced optics, and holographic processing to display information and blend with the real world. Dr Shrikhande says his virtual avatar entered the London operating room. “
“Artificial intelligence (AI) has sped up the process of detecting flooded buildings immediately after a large-scale flood, allowing emergency personnel to direct their efforts efficiently. Now, researchers have created a machine learning (ML) model that uses news media photos to identify flooded buildings accurately within 24 hours of the disaster.”
“A research team on the mainland claims to have developed a text censor that can filter “harmful information” on the internet with unprecedented accuracy using artificial intelligence.”
“With impressive advances having been made in artificial intelligence (AI), the Indian judiciary has been early to adopt it too. Soon, AI will be tailored for the justice delivery system, playing a vital role in improving administrative efficiency in courts, and aiding in decision-making processes for lawyers, judges and litigants. But how could robots decide questions of law and extract the accurate position of law from a mass of precedents?”
“Nuritas is to provide Sumitomo Chemical with its
Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered peptide discovery services in a multi-year partnership that addresses food growth to satisfy a growing global population.
Announced last week, the deal will see Nuritas deploy its technology platform, which also uses DNA analysis to predict, unlock, and validate efficacious plant-based peptides.”
“…For shippers adapting on the fly, the end result has been a Band-Aid approach to getting things done and product moved. In many cases, optimization of the supply chain became an afterthought to getting product to the end consumer.
To combat this, Locus, a global B2B software-as-a-service company, has introduced Locus NodelQ, which the company describes as an end-to-end supply chain decision-making platform. NodelQ is “a smart supply chain decision-making platform that enables companies to perform end-to-end network and inventory optimization.” ”
“Under the slogan of exchanging experiences on how the use of Artificial Intelligence can contribute to the sustainable and responsible management of forestry operations, government officials and the company Timbeter, from Estonia, met last March to analyze the use of environmental technologies.”
“…Access to smart data enables food producers to plan intelligently and to optimize their production processes allowing them to produce the required quantities more cheaply and in a more environmentally friendly way. But this data can also be used to create additional revenue streams for producers …”
“Bank fraud experts are using artificial intelligence (AI) to outsmart scammers who think they can fool financial institutions into believing they are customers and gain access to funds in accounts.
They are harnessing the technology to monitor scammers’ behaviour and predict their next move.”
