Artificial intelligence – beyond the hype

Publicerat 19 June 2018

The first time I came close to a practical implementation of machine learning, and really grasped the concept of artificial intelligence, was during my studies at KTH. A fellow classmate was part of a project at KI, Karolinska Institutet, in Solna. The aim of the project was to develop a model which used machine learning for image classification. In more detail, the algorithm determined the severity of bone fractures based on x-ray images, which freed up time for radiologists, who could focus on more difficult cases. Overall, it resulted in quicker, cheaper and perhaps more objective diagnoses as well as better allocation of resources. I was truly fascinated as I saw the potential in the methodology and a question has puzzled me ever since: if machine learning can replace doctors in certain parts of their profession, how can we explore and unleash AI’s full potential in further areas?

3 huvudfrågor om AI

Publicerat 5 June 2018

Alla pratar om AI. Men pratar vi om AI på rätt sätt? Det första steget för att förstå vad/om er organisation ska göra med AI är inte att läsa fler artiklar om att AI tar över världen utan att besvara dessa tre frågor:
1) Vad kan AI göra idag?
2) Vad kan AI göra snart?
3) Vad skulle ett första mindre AI-case kunna vara i vår organisation för att skapa intern kunskap och insikter om/hur vi kan gå vidare med AI?

Om du inte sett detta klipp där Googles AI ringer upp en hårsalong för att boka en tid, gör det för att förstå hur långt AI har kommit gällande röstigenkänning och förståelse för enklare öppna frågor.

What AI can and can’t do (yet) for your business

Publicerat 22 May 2018

Artificial intelligence (AI) seems to be everywhere. We experience it at home and on our phones. Before we know it—if entrepreneurs and business innovators are to be believed—AI will be in just about every product and service we buy and use. In addition, its application to business problem solving is growing in leaps and bounds. AI’s challenges and limitations are creating a “moving target” problem for leaders: It is hard to reach a leading edge that’s always advancing.
