With machine learning, Facebook has built robots that can negotiate and even lie; what are the business and societal implications for Facebook and its users?
Additive Manufacturing offers substantial promise to medical device products and supply chains, but it also presents an existential threat to the incumbents in the industry.
The introduction of artificial intelligence to healthcare has sent shockwaves through the system with the promise of dramatic increases in quality of care and organizational efficiencies coupled with much needed cost reductions. The promise of AI in healthcare predicts a futuristic world where machines are primary and human doctors are secondary. The reality is tempered by the many challenges facing the widespread adoption of AI in US hospitals. A review of the adoption of IBM Watson Health at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center provides a case study.
How important will additive manufacturing be in the future of construction? Over the years, additive manufacturing has been a constant topic of discussion in the industry. For the most part, the discussion revolves around trying to understand the limitations, applications and the overall impact on the cost of construction.
More than any other service, the United States Marine Corps is embracing the power of additive manufacturing to “innovate in place” and provide small, dispersed units around the world the ability to rapidly produce their own unique, mission-specific equipment while bypassing the old, rigid supply chain process.
Can we build future cities like building LEGO Land?
As cybercrime grows, the defenders found a new tool for their arsenal: Machine Learning. Symantec implemented a creative approach that harnesses the power of ML to detect sophisticated actors in cyberspace.
