How AI-Driven Nudges Can Transform An Operation’s Performance
The right advice at just the right moment can make all the difference to employee satisfaction and performance. New AI-driven approaches are making truly personalized, real-time coaching a reality. Great employees are not born. They develop their skills over time, through a combination of on-the-job experience, formal training, coaching, and mentoring—inputs that employers have a high …
Is AI-Generated Art Really Creative? It Depends On The Presentation
Ai-Da sits behind a desk, paintbrush in hand. She looks up at the person posing for her, and then back down as she dabs another blob of paint onto the canvas. A lifelike portrait is taking shape. If you didn’t know a robot produced it, this portrait could pass as the work of a human …

Securing The Human Voice At Scale: Pindrop Partners With Google Cloud
If you’ve ever used only your voice to authenticate a payment, place an order, or check an account over the phone, there is a good chance that Pindrop’s technology made it possible. Founded in Atlanta in 2011, Pindrop provides software and technology that uses machine learning, voice recognition, and behavioral analytics to help detect and prevent fraud …
Artificial Intelligence System Learns Concepts Shared Across Video, Audio, And Text
Humans observe the world through a combination of different modalities, like vision, hearing, and our understanding of language. Machines, on the other hand, interpret the world through data that algorithms can process. So, when a machine “sees” a photo, it must encode that photo into data it can use to perform a task like image …
Democratizing Access To Large-Scale Language Models With OPT-175B
Large language models — natural language processing (NLP) systems with more than 100 billion parameters — have transformed NLP and AI research over the last few years. Trained on a massive and varied volume of text, they show surprising new capabilities to generate creative text, solve basic math problems, answer reading comprehension questions, and more. …
Studying The Brain To Build AI That Processes Language As People Do
AI has made impressive strides in recent years, but it’s still far from learning language as efficiently as humans. For instance, children learn that “orange” can refer to both a fruit and color from a few examples, but modern AI systems can’t do this nearly as efficiently as people. This has led many researchers to …
How The Philosophy Of Mind And Consciousness Has Affected AI Research
The “brain in a jar” is a thought experiment of a disembodied human brain living in a jar of sustenance. The thought experiment explores human conceptions of reality, mind, and consciousness. This article will explore a metaphysical argument against artificial intelligence on the grounds that a disembodied artificial intelligence, or a “brain” without a body, is incompatible with …
Foundation Models: 5 Things To Know About The Hottest New Trend In AI
If you’ve seen photos of a teapot shaped like an avocado or read a well-written article that veers off on slightly weird tangents, you may have been exposed to a new trend in artificial intelligence (AI). Machine learning systems called DALL-E, GPT and PaLM are making a splash with their incredible ability to generate creative work. These systems are known as “foundation models” and are not …
AI is Not ‘the Future.’ You Need it Today
How many of you have read the book Frankenstein by Mary Shelley or watched the 1920 fictional play R.U.R. (Rossum’s Universal Robots) by Karel Capek? If you haven’t and you have an inclination towards Artificial Intelligence, you must. That’s where I see the roots of artificial intelligence, stepping out through creative brains. Perhaps, many industry …
