A new Market Study by Zion predicts the global AI market to seven-fold in 7 years, 2021-28. Military ICT and AI fill the headlines since February, ranging from apps such as StarLink or embedded/ avionics (see from 1:28 min. ) to Logistics and C5ISR (Command, control, communications, computers, cyberdefense, Intelligence, …

“Today, professionals get trained in using tools…  there’s a lack of education of fundamentals like modeling, architecture, methods, or concepts… Getting value out of data needs professionalization based on education and practical experience.”                                                                  Andreas Buckenhofer, Daimler TSS, in an interview by OODBMS on Big Data, July 2019 In my opinion, he’s spot on. My …

The current slalom between insecurity, logistics, and volatile energy/material/component supplies, is adding momentum to resource-efficient computing and green AI. Moreover, a recent video presentation by Amazon points out that up to 90% of the infrastructure costs for developing and running ML apps is inference. Train it sometimes, run it a …

My post in March focused on AI in vaccine R&D, for obvious reasons. Half a year later, it’s time for a wider perspective: Where do we go from here? How much of R&D experiments do bio-scientists expect to go from “in vivo” to other methods? Their hints indicate that new …

What I wrote about the ways AI affects architects, four years ago, fits into the architectural landscape of 2021 as well. That said, this summer I’m adding one of my “and vice versa-s”, to my quote from AI2 (The Allen Institute of AI, founded by Paul Allen of Microsoft) “Never …

Scandinavia is recovering from the harsh AI Winter of the 1990’s. British Tortoise AI index ranks Finland a global #11 plus a “rising star,” as a result of Finland’s ongoing focus on skills development, driven by both government strategy and an excellent ecosystem of academia, AI-accelerators, private AI labs, tech …

A quote from neither Informator nor Tieturi, but from the Lancet medical journal, April 2021: “particularly deep learning, has changed our lives (…) deep learning systems capable of diagnosing skin cancer and fully autonomous AI approved for diabetic retinopathy screening (…) A key concern is how should clinicians be educated …

Med research, biotech, care, as a driver of new AI? Indeed. Over the past few months, this effort has expanded from forecasting, outbreak science, and diagnostics, to treatment and vaccine. The leap in R&D lead time, quality, and cost — a sci-fi just a year ago — is fueled by …

Over the past two decades, global AI research output grew +600%, and its steep growth continues, according to the Stanford 2019 AI Index Report. The IDC Worldwide Semiannual Artificial Intelligence Tracker predicts global AI revenues to double over the first half of this decade, to $300 billion in 2024. The silver …
