Artificial intelligence (AI) is driven by advances in computing power, data storage, and algorithms. It will be more disruptive than previous technological shifts. AI techniques like machine learning, deep learning, and natural language processing are making platforms and systems smart enough to learn from data and interactions to anticipate needs and automate tasks. Consumers are already using AI without realizing it through apps from Google, Facebook, Amazon, and self-driving cars. This raises expectations for smart, seamless customer experiences from businesses. The e-book will explore how companies can take advantage of AI for sales, customer service, marketing, and other business functions.

Let's Talk: fundamentals of conversational designNikita Lukianets
I had a pleasure to teach conversation design at Lviv Data Science Summer School. We’ve discussed architectural approaches, covered semantic funnels and goal-oriented conversations. This presentation was used as a support material and I decided to share it with a wider audience. There are multiple articles introducing chatbots as a concept, including the main architectural principles behind. I’m not going to talk about them here, but rather I am presenting the anatomy of conversation and useful resources to get started with design and development: links to platforms, dialog engines, prototyping tools, connectors, intent recognition, and conversation analytics tools.
This document discusses how technology is increasingly becoming a business enabler rather than just a cost center. It notes how cloud platforms allow businesses to focus on velocity and solving problems faster. It also discusses how user expectations are shaped by consumer technologies and how businesses want applications that provide seamless experiences like consumer apps. Finally, it talks about how IT leadership needs to focus on imagination and innovation rather than just migrating existing systems.

This Hot Off the Crowd edition was fueled by months of investigation and daily discoveries on the leading crowdfunding and crowdsourcing platforms: Kickstarter, Indiegogo, AngelList, Product Hunt, Crunchbase…
At FABERNOVEL, we truly believe that we all need to monitor the latest technological gems, trends and developments from these sites, it’s the most useful way to understand what’s going on before taking action.
The document discusses the layers of the mobile experience design process which includes idea, needs and goals, context, strategy, device plan, design, prototype, development, testing, optimization, porting, and discussion. It also outlines the context of mobile design and different types of mobile apps based on medium and context.
ChatBots, once the product of inventive sci-fi writers (such as Arthur C. Clarke’s HAL, the “sentient” computer), may be one of the most useful customer service inventions for business of modern times.
While computers, software and the myriad of apps that have been produced (is there an app for that?) have greatly improved many areas of the customer experience, the one thing often lacking is the personal, “human” touch that people crave.
Artificial intelligence is transforming organizations in three key ways:
1) Advances in machine learning algorithms, massive datasets, and computing power have enabled AI capabilities like computer vision, natural language processing, and predictive analytics.
2) Popular examples include intelligent assistants like Siri, Alexa, and Cortana, but AI is also used for medical diagnostics, self-driving vehicles, and improving workers' productivity.
3) As AI capabilities grow, organizations must consider how to apply AI strategically while managing risks and ensuring it augments rather than replaces humans.

Crowdsourced topic rankings at Snowforce 2017 in Salt Lake City drove this one-hour "Top 10" -- from evolving role of CIO, up through AI-leveraged connection, into a culture of innovation. (Peter Coffee, VP for Strategic Research at Salesforce)
Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming a reality due to advances in three key areas: data models, data availability, and processing power. AI is present in many consumer apps through machine learning techniques. For businesses, AI can help address challenges around data silos, lack of data expertise, infrastructure constraints, and lack of context for AI. By connecting all customer data into a single view and using AI tools that anticipate needs, businesses can close the gap between intelligence and customer experience.
Big data refers to the massive amounts of structured and unstructured data being created every day from sources like social media interactions, website clicks, and sensor data from devices. The volume, velocity, and variety of big data, known as the three V's, make it challenging to store, manage, and analyze. Additional challenges include the veracity and variability of big data. Big data is being used across many domains to gain insights, optimize business processes, improve sports performance and training, and support national security and law enforcement efforts through data analysis and mining. While big data holds great potential, many businesses have yet to fully leverage its capabilities.

Artificial Intelligence: Potential Benefits and
Ethical Considerations
KEY FINDINGS
The ability of AI systems to transform vast amounts of complex, ambiguous
information into insight has the potential to reveal long-held secrets and help solve
some of the world’s most enduring problems.
However, like all powerful technologies, great care must be taken in its development
and deployment. To reap the societal benefits of AI systems, we will first need to trust
them and make sure that they follow the same ethical principles, moral values,
professional codes, and social norms that we humans would follow in the same
scenario. Research and educational efforts, as well as carefully designed regulations,
must be put in place to achieve this goal.
International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) is actively engaged, both internally
as well as with its collaborators and competitors, in global discussions about how to
make AI ethical and as beneficial as possible for people as society.
1. WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE?
The term “artificial intelligence” (AI) has been mentioned for the first time in 1956 by John
McCarthy during a conference where several scientists decided to meet to see if machines could
be made intelligent. Since then, AI is usually defined as the capability of a computer
program to perform tasks or reasoning processes that we usually associate to intelligence
in a human being. Often it has to do with the ability to make a good decision even when there
is uncertainty or vagueness, or too much information to handle.
As an example, playing chess well, or some complex card games, is believed to need some
form of intelligence in a human being, as well as choosing the best diagnosis in a difficult
medical case, or creating something new, such as a mathematical theorem or even some form
of art, or even driving a car in the middle of a crowded city.
It is clear that this is a strange definition, because it depends on what we consider being
intelligent in the behaviour of a human being at a certain point in time. If our belief about
human intelligence changes, and we don't believe any longer that a certain task requires
intelligence, then a computer program performing that task is no longer part of AI, it becomes
just another boring computer program.
The term “artificial intelligence” brings to mind to the notion of replacing human intelligence
with something synthetic. At IBM, we prefer the term “augmented intelligence”. This means
that we aim to build systems that enhance and scale human expertise and skills rather than
replacing them. We therefore focus on practical applications of discrete AI capabilities that
assist people in performing well-defined tasks, by exploiting a wide range of AI-based services.

This time, we're diving into the murky waters of the Fuxnet malware, a brainchild of the illustrious Blackjack hacking group.
Let's set the scene: Moscow, a city unsuspectingly going about its business, unaware that it's about to be the star of Blackjack's latest production. The method? Oh, nothing too fancy, just the classic "let's potentially disable sensor-gateways" move.
In a move of unparalleled transparency, Blackjack decides to broadcast their cyber conquests on ruexfil.com. Because nothing screams "covert operation" like a public display of your hacking prowess, complete with screenshots for the visually inclined.
Ah, but here's where the plot thickens: the initial claim of 2,659 sensor-gateways laid to waste? A slight exaggeration, it seems. The actual tally? A little over 500. It's akin to declaring world domination and then barely managing to annex your backyard.
For Blackjack, ever the dramatists, hint at a sequel, suggesting the JSON files were merely a teaser of the chaos yet to come. Because what's a cyberattack without a hint of sequel bait, teasing audiences with the promise of more digital destruction?
-------
This document presents a comprehensive analysis of the Fuxnet malware, attributed to the Blackjack hacking group, which has reportedly targeted infrastructure. The analysis delves into various aspects of the malware, including its technical specifications, impact on systems, defense mechanisms, propagation methods, targets, and the motivations behind its deployment. By examining these facets, the document aims to provide a detailed overview of Fuxnet's capabilities and its implications for cybersecurity.
The document offers a qualitative summary of the Fuxnet malware, based on the information publicly shared by the attackers and analyzed by cybersecurity experts. This analysis is invaluable for security professionals, IT specialists, and stakeholders in various industries, as it not only sheds light on the technical intricacies of a sophisticated cyber threat but also emphasizes the importance of robust cybersecurity measures in safeguarding critical infrastructure against emerging threats. Through this detailed examination, the document contributes to the broader understanding of cyber warfare tactics and enhances the preparedness of organizations to defend against similar attacks in the future.

3. VISA Sponsored Concept / entrance to the event
Focused on a future where currency is no longer required
1. Visitors to the space were provided with a VISA card upon entrance
2. From there all visitors were directed to surrender their card to an Installation specialist
3. The Installation specialist then discarded the card and “INSTALLED” an RFID tag on the visitor
4. Visitors could then make purchases by waving their hand near items they desired
4. Tech Infused Art was on display
Blooms are 3D printed sculptures designed to animate when
spun under a strobe light.
The bloom’s animation effect is achieved by progressive
rotations of the golden ration, phi, the same ratio that nature
employs to generate the spiral patterns we see in pinecones
and sunflowers. The rotational speed and strobe rate of the
bloom are synchronized so that one flash occurs every time
the bloom turns 137.5°(the angular version of phi)

Discussed the impact changehas on our society
“Wired is all about tracking change, not necessarily tech”
Discussed conversations about change
• ISIS recruitment
without social where would they be?
• AI
impact on middle class
• Pain v no pain
advances in medicine, would not feeling pain be a good thing
• Predictive analysis
ML’s impact on everything
• Consequences of scale
Apple, Facebook, Google large companies impacting the world
• Privacy v Security
Bit Coin vs the US Mint
• DNA v Science
What could go wrong
• Storytelling
argued that attention spans are actually growing
• Touch your Phone 3000 times a day
what will be the next “Phone”? what kind of change will that bring?
6. Yasmine Green / Jigsaw (a google company)
Fake News / set out to find the source of the mass of fake
news stories curated during the run up to the 2016
election.
Where did they come from? …and what was the motivation?
• Surprised to find no geopolitical goal associated with the source of the
major spike of fake stories found.
• Identified a small group of people that were essentially growth hacking
fake news pieces, capitalizing on a program that would reward web traffic
driven with US dollars.
Found teens in Macedonia rewriting popular fake US political news stories
to drive even more clicks to the targeted sites that would earn them $Cash$
for clicks.
Spoke at length on use of AI from ML to develop context to
speech tech to improve algorithms built to better
understand human communication
• AI used to provide suggestions for texting responses. I.E..if a person
drafted the following text, “You are an @#$&^#&”, the algorithm would
understand the context and pop up a suggestion or alternative response
prior to allowing you to hit the send button that might say, “Are you sure
you want to respond in this way?”
• Used this AI in a pilot within Google’s search platform where they
successfully identified 300k people who were querying ISIS in some
relevant way in order to deliver “redirect campaign” messaging where
positive life message ads were implemented to help these people make
potentially better life decisions.

Early days discussion
“We needed to scale quickly to allow for fast search, it was not pretty, far from perfect”
We went from 11 machines in a room to multi site, distributed network created in house to meet the
growing needs of the customers. No resources or models existed as a reference regarding the direction
they were headed in datacenter infrastructure i.e., data speed, bandwidth and storage

Recent Problem example:
During development of their speech recognition for mobile
in 2010 they calculated the need to double their data
center infrastructure to achieve their speed goals. Even
though they are Google(lots of $$s on hand) this would be
impractical.
Instead they quickly found that in order to achieve this
goal they would again need to hyper focus on things the
felt strongest about (i.e., develop single purpose, fast drag
race car vs multi purpose fast commuter car) in order to
make speech recognition function the way they had
envisioned. Because they needed to move at such speed,
they realized they had to jettison some concepts that were
not required to support this immediate goal. By doing this
they ended up creating TQ/Tensiflow processing model.
Built a special purpose chip vs general purpose chip. This
solution achieved 50 times greater efficiency. This effort
yielded the need to increase their data center
infrastructure by only 2% vs doubling it.
Tensiflow processing unit – 11,000 trillion operations p sec
9. Richard Craib / Numerai
Determined that ML should be used in finance to do a transformation on the
financial data into new spaces.
“How far can you go with this?” …Go so far that the data has no resemblance to what it used to be
and it could then be transferred securely as well. This enables data scientists the ability to share
newly created predictive AI models to improve hedge fund performance
Went against traditional Hedge fund thinking regarding data (cannot share the data)…
Decided to tap into a larger set of data scientists to collaborate seeking the best way
to encrypt this data to enable building and sharing the of the best data sets.
Homo morphic encryption – cutting edge! using neural cryptography to use a neural net to do the
encryption for you.
One neural net is used to figure out the data while the other is used to obfuscate the data.
In 2009, Netfix proved that if you do open up and give people a data set you can make models that
are way better than working on them as a single entity.
Numerai is changing the entire [hedge fund] design because we have 2 orders of magnitude more
resources than the largest hedge fund. (19,000 AI Scientists collaborating)
Quants do what the models say using structured data sets.
In the future, AI can take on unstructured data sets in the future!...but not too soon
Offers cryonics under their health plan!

Using Deep Learning to Diagnose Disease
Using AI to diagnose diabetic retinopathy by scanning
retina images from multiple systems to detect
irregularities found on the retina
Normally, the more information the better…
They found algorithm results were skewed by comparing
one set of retinas from another that were photographed
by different systems.
In this case, the AI still needed course correction.
Future: Seeking hardware that is easier to use by a wider
array of technicians to enable less expensive testing
allowing for greater access to the tests themselves.

11. David Limp / Amazon
Discussed the Future of Amazon
7-8 years ago decided to leverage ML to solve problems.
Asked internally: If you had access to infinite computing power what would/could you do?
Answer: Conversational Speech (ambient computing) like the Starship Enterprise from Star
Trek. Led to development of Alexa.
“Amazon is an AI company, ML is in every aspect of what we’re building.”
Future: develop more cognitive abilities in speech recognition to enable things like the
differentiation between short term memory and long term memory to provide greater
context. i.e., teaching AI to understand pronouns in the course of a conversation
“Conversational speech is not decades away! ...more like 5-10 years away”
Q: Since you[Amazon] are soo big how do you keep from being boring?
A: 1.)Being Nimble - Organizing on customer focus requires it
2.)Be willing to take risks
3.)Need to be an optimist. I.E., Amazon Phone – excited about the phone, it
bombed and they moved on. Fail fast and move on but not without taking the risk.
“I had an equal number of people line up outside my office
for the phone and Alexa projects telling me that they wouldn’t work”

Designing for the Future
Create the idealized California from Jobs’ favorite
features of the bay area also drawing on inspiration
from Stanford and trips to London parks.
As with many Apple products, its shape would be
determined by its function
This would be a place where people were open to
each other and open to nature
What began as a clover became a circle through its
need to function as planned, balancing the need for a
place of intense concentration but you could also run
into many people to allow for brainstorming that
unearths innovation.

From Super Crops to Designer Babies: Welcome
to the Age of CRISPR
Discovered how to edit gemomes (at low cost) in the early stages
allowing one to potentially impact the DNA structure prior to birth
making it possible to potentially delete a pattern baldness trait or
choose the color of a baby’s hair
• What impact will this have on evolution?
• Will scientists remove the feeling of pain from a
person (why would anyone want to do that?)
Future: How will the world regulate this tech?
A: Did not have answers, only suggestions along with
verbalizing the hope that a worldwide coalition would
come together to address the moral issues that come with
the proliferation of these new found capabilities.

The mobile space has affected everything… What will the next
ecosystem be?
The big boys are using AI as a platform, ML and neural networks at
scale but Essential will be trenched in organizing IOT in the home.
Focus on IOT organization on the homefront (home
and car) bringing security and cameras with depth
sensors together to work with one appliance to
manage it all using an ambient OS.
Essential Home/touchscreen and LCD will combine
with voice to automate your home.
Future: need interoperability from large players to help

16. Westworld / Co-Creators & Executive Producers
How Storytelling creates the future
Tapped to recreate Westworld and wanted to stay true to the original
film but apply their understanding of AI to bring it to life.
Spoke about the possibility of conscious vs unconscious forms of AI and
how far out those concepts really are given all of the research they have
done to breathe new life into this story.
From Wired: For Nolan, the robots on his show represent more of an
allegory for human behavior than a cautionary tale. And Joy
sees Westworld, and sci-fi in general, as an opportunity to talk about
what humanity could or should do if things start to go wrong, especially
now that advancements in artificial intelligence technologies are
making things like androids seem far more plausible than before.
Storytelling, according to show co-creator Jonathan Nolan, serves an
evolutionary purpose, allowing us to try out different realities. With
sci-fi, because it’s so often forward-looking, “we’re inventing
cautionary tales for ourselves,” Nolan said to Wired’s Peter
Rubin.

18. They are happening NOW!
I believe much of this technology is already shaping our daily lives as is the case with
Amazon’s Alexa.
I also believe that start ups and organizations of any scale (especially those with historical
market dominance) that embrace the benefits of these developments will be far better off
than those that do not (see Kodak).
These statements may seem obvious but there are many influential naysayers out there
that will push back on new concepts for their lack of understanding or because they
simply want to protect what they already have/know.
20. IMHO, the people and organizations to forge relationships with are the ones that
hunger to understand the use cases for these technological developments in order to
visualize and collaborate on projects that can and will affect change in the world.
Fortunately for us all, this is happening at scale right now and I am
thrilled to be a part of an organization that happens to share this
vision with me!
If you happen to share my vision or wish to discuss any of the content further
feel free to add comments here or on LinkedIn or reach out directly to talk further.
