Spirit AI is using artificial intelligence to combat toxic behavior in game communities. The London company has created its Ally social intelligence tool to decipher online conversations and monitor whether cyberbullying is taking place. It is the brainchild of researchers at New York University, according to Mitu Khandaker, creative partnerships director at Spirit AI and an assistant arts professor at the NYU game center. The company uses AI, natural language understanding, and machine learning to help data science and customer service teams to understand the general tenor of an online community. It also helps predict problems before they escalate. Ally considers context, nuance and the relationships between users versus seeking and blocking keywords. The software uses natural language understanding and AI to identify the intent of a message, and then analyzes the behavior and reactions to determine its impact. It can do things like identify cyberbullying. Spirit AI recently … [Read more...] about How Spirit AI uses artificial intelligence to level up game communities

Theresa May announces plans to use artificial intelligence to help diagnose cancer and save 20,000 lives a year
More than 20,000 lives will be saved every year under plans to use artificial intelligence to diagnose cancer patients before their symptoms have even developed, Theresa May will announce. The Prime Minister will challenge the NHS to use artificial intelligence and other "smart technology" to improve the diagnosis of prostate, ovarian, lung or bowel cancer. The plans will see the NHS cross-reference people's genetic information, medical records and "habits" such as whether they smoke to identify those who are most at risk from cancer. It will "empower" doctors to refer those patients identified as being at risk to an oncologist even before the onset of symptoms, leading to 22,000 fewer cancer...

Asylum seekers to be allocated to cantons using artificial intelligence

Photo: Fabrice Coffrini/AFP The government is to launch a pilot project that uses artificial intelligence to decide where to place asylum seekers to improve their chances of finding a job. From September 1,000 people who have lodged an asylum application will be allocated to different cantons using a computer algorithm developed by researchers at the ETH Zurich and Stanford University in the United States, SRF television’s 10vor10 news programme reported. Instead of distributing applicants randomly, as at present, the authorities will be able to place them in the cantons where they have the best chances of employment. At present only 15 percent of asylum seekers have managed to find a job after three years, according to SRF. It is hoped that using the computer programme the number finding work after three years will increase to 30 percent. The algorithm calculates the right canton for the individual … [Read more...] about Asylum seekers to be allocated to cantons using artificial intelligence
The state of AI: why businesses need to start using Artificial Intelligence now
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a hotly discussed and debated subject in 2018. From newspapers to world leaders, everyone is talking about what machine intelligence and robotics could and might do for businesses. With all the buzz it is generating, Artificial Intelligence is rapidly emerging as a lucrative technology. By 2035, global consulting firm Accenture has suggested that Artificial Intelligence could add an estimated £654 billion to the UK economy. It comes as little surprise then to see an increasing number of businesses adding AI into their operations. The latest report by Spiceworks indicates that 40% of large organisations (across Europe and North America) are expected to implement AI chatbots or intelligent assistants in the workplace by 2019. AI has evolved into something much more than a tech buzzword. From its inception in the 1950s, what once seemed to be a science fiction dream for scientists has become a pioneering reality with innovations in … [Read more...] about The state of AI: why businesses need to start using Artificial Intelligence now
