Digital Transformation in Governments

While most leading corporations and businesses have implemented new IT technology capabilities to stay competitive and keep customers, many government agencies at the local, state and federal level have been slow to adopt these technological advancements.    Government entities and agencies, however, are looking to transform their obsolete systems and technology to create efficiencies, meet greater demand and create cost savings.  Digital platforms and services including Cloud Computing, Automation Services, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning make it possible to integrate and automate processes at a fraction of the cost of outdated systems. Agencies can utilize secure and mission-critical computing infrastructure by migrating data and systems to the Cloud that is adaptive, more scalable and cost-effective.  By implementing Cloud Computing, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, government agencies can more effectively work with and utilize enormous amounts of data.  Implementation of these new technologies also provides efficiencies for communication between agencies, vendors and other branches…

Fraud Detection with The Help of AI and Machine Learning

The banking industry is now using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) to reduce the billions of dollars lost to fraud each year. Banks recently reported $2.2-Billion in losses due to fraud in a single year.  Advances in AI technology are helping to reverse these losses, using methods that ferret out cases of suspicious monetary behavior and allowing the fraud to be detected early before the damage is done. To tackle such activities, AI and Machine Learning programs interpret patterns in the data and apply data science to continually improve the ability to distinguish normal behavior from abnormal behavior. This requires thousands of computations to be accurately performed in milliseconds. Machine Learning capabilities are used to implement automated systems that can learn patterns in data sets without the intervention of human beings. The use of AI and Machine Learning technologies, is allowing banks to quickly respond to ever-evolving fraud threats and reduce…

The Future of Relationship Between AI Assistants And Human Beings

An “AI Assistant” is an application program that receives natural language voice commands from a user and responds with the best results.  Also known as a Digital Assistant or Virtual Assistant, the technology that powers an AI Assistant requires massive amounts of data, which utilize Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) as well as Natural Language Processing (NLP) and speech recognition platforms. Amazon “Alexa,” Apple “Siri,” Google “Now” and Microsoft “Cortana” are the most well-known AI Assistants.  Their aim is to provide ease-of-use and perform personal tasks such as answering questions, setting alarms and calendar events, ordering goods and services, playing music, operating lights, adjusting heat and air conditioning, or managing home security systems.   As the user interacts with an AI Assistant program the embedded sophisticated algorithms learn from data inputs and become better at predicting the user needs or understanding voice commands. For many people with disabilities AI Assistant programs…
