What Fraud Looks Like In The Age Of Artificial Intelligence(AI)

According to authors, Artificial Intelligence , can easily and effortlessly make a copy of audio and video content with an  intent to deceive the viewers, in a world which believes in Seeing is Believing. Though analytics, big data, and machine learning have helped  us in unfolding the truth, yet  these technologies cannot be fully relied upon, as it lies, by forging audio and video content, leading us to a fake world. As far as the audio and the video forgery is as concerned, anyone can  generate realistic-sounding speech with  varied intonation, in the voices  of famous personalities  and realistic-looking videos  by changing  both the facial expressions and pitch contour, on You Tube Videos, by using AI-based software. Recently, Adobe is working on similar technology  which aims at producing  “Photoshop  For Audio”. Read more at https://aitrends.com/opinion/ai-will-make-forging-anything-entirely-easy/

• A varied basket – with items from multiple departments – doubles the chances that a customer will make a second purchase.

• By offering discounts.

• Returns predict a higher customer lifetime value.

Optimizing these above factors can attract many customers on a long term basis. Read more at http://www.optimove.com/blog/ecomm-using-data-push-customers-second-purchase

Artificial Intelligence in Practice

Artificial Intelligence is development of computer systems able to perform tasks normally requiring human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and translation between languages. Therefore, AI can process a lot more data than human brain can, and thus can do more work accurately in less time. Along with data analysis AI can perform much more complex tasks such s determining customer preferences for products based on previous buying habits and understanding unstructured data. AI is augmenting the capabilities of human by solving such complex challenges. The importance of artificial intelligence can also be seen in healthcare industry for suggesting appropriate treatments for patients, fraud detection, financial services and retail. AI can be incorporated in business by using machine, deep and memory based learning which is AI’s core.

Uses of Virtual Data Sources

Data virtualisation can simplify data access and improve agility. Three uses of virtual data sources are: 1) Merger and Acquisition: Due to merger of data warehouses, OLTP systems are changed which causes the ETL jobs to break. This situation can be avoided by introducing virtual data sources between source OLTP systems and the data warehouse or between data warehouses and data marts, 2) Stabilizing data warehouse ETL processing, 3) Simplifying self-service data preparation for business users to access data across multiple data sources. In conclusion, virtual data sources are useful in practice because of its ability to de-couple physical data sources from ETL processing improve design and introduce governance.

Changes in Data Analytics over a decade.

The last decade saw the massive growth of big data. During that time, all the technologies did not change but there have been a lot of transformations. Cloud analytics, uses a range of analytical tools to help companies extract information from a massive amount of data and present it in a form that is readily available via web browser, has become popular among the companies with the emerging new data sources. With the need to store and process big data, a whole constellation of open source software such as Hadoop emerged, which is used to store and do a basic processing on big data and is also cheaper than a data warehouse for similar volumes of data. Scripting languages like Hive, Pig, and Python along with many open source tools like Spark are gaining much popularity.

Technology – Shaping The Future of Money.

At Singularity University’s Exponential Finance Summit in New York last month, Peter Diamandis talked about technology, money and a demonetized world. We all have access to everything at the palm of our hands due to advanced technology, robots implying higher efficiency and lower cost. But technological unemployment follows. The counterbalance to technological unemployment, is the demonetization of living. The most common example of this phenomenon is the smartphone where a bunch of different things can be performed in a single device. Demonetization is one of the factors of technological disruption, where money is taken out of the equation for a given product or service, making it available to everyone. Communication, Entertainment, Energy, Transportation, Housing, Education, Healthcare are a few fields of example Diamandis gave in this context.
