We have already been using products powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI) for a while — perhaps without even knowing it. For example, email spam is fast detected by machine learning, which is a subset of AI. Google translation, Amazon’s Alexa, Apple’s Siri, Netflix’s recommendations for films, are all powered by AI. While AI has been around for decades, it is now gaining popularity in the technology world for two main reasons: a) large data sets, and b) computational power. To make the most of AI you will need both to succeed.

The future of artificial intelligence’s (A.I) and its effect on work will be in the future might be elusive. But we could all agree on one thing - it will be disruptive.

The First Industrial Revolution used water and steam power to mechanise production – mainly supporting the agricultural economy. The Second utilised electric power to create mass production in which factories flourished. The Third focused on electronic and Information Technology (IT) to automate production.

COVID-19 is having serious implications for businesses in Singapore across the globe, as they adapt to the ‘new normal’ of operating an organisation remotely. We state down six business functions at risk and the AI solutions that could help

The world is stressed. Family violence, isolation and depression had plagued the news in the last few years since Singapore, and many parts of the world went into Lockdown in an effort to curb the COVID-19 virus.

The truth is, the advent of technology sometimes makes us doubt our own capabilities as A.I seems to be able to do things we humans presumably can’t. We could ask our Smartphones questions, and even use our GPS to navigate through unfamiliar territory. For it seems as though yesterday’s miracle has become today’s expectation.

Now, even more evident than ever in our current unprecedented history, the world’s business interactions and engagements have shifted and evolved to occupy the online space.

Artificial Intelligence will further enhance our ability to interpret and understand the world around us better.21st century Artificial Intelligence has cutting-edge capabilities that are rapidly changing the way we live.
