This week, DataSeries, an OpenOcean led initiative hosted another Virtual Roundtable about “The Power of Graphs” together with Jennifer Schenker who published an article about this here:
How graphs will transform data management and business

INSIGHTS GATHERED

CHALLENGES:

Complexity of connections — Why knowledge graphs?
If you have a dataset that is very much biased towards the connection of the entities, more so than the entities themselves, then relational databases are not the best solution. Knowledge graphs apply semantics to give context and relationships to data, providing a framework for data integration, unification, analytics and sharing. …

This week, DataSeries, an OpenOcean led initiative hosted another Virtual Roundtable together with Anari AI about “Resource Optimization for AI at the intersection of hardware and software”.

INSIGHTS GATHERED:

CHALLENGES:

The exponential growth and requirements of AI use cases
The increasing complexity of AI models and the explosive growth of AI model size are both rapidly outpacing current innovations in computing resources and memory capacity available on a single device. AI model complexity now doubles every 3.5 months or about 10X per year, driving rapidly increasing demand in AI computing capability. …

This week, DataSeries, an OpenOcean led initiative hosted another Virtual Roundtable about “Synthetic Content and Deep Fake technology”.

INSIGHTS GATHERED:

CHALLENGES:

The ability to recognise deep fake pictures by humans is very low, while the ability of an AI to detect them is fairly high. Facebook’s Deepfake Detection Challenge, in collaboration with Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, and the Partnership on AI, was run through Kaggle, a platform for coding contests that is owned by Google.
The best model to emerge from the contest detected deep fakes from Facebook’s collection just over 82 % of the time. It was argued that, at the current level, we won’t get to 90%.
On the other hand, the percentage of deep fakes currently circulating on Facebook is in the single digits and there are many other sources of misinformation. …

This week, DataSeries, an OpenOcean led initiative hosted another Virtual Roundtable about “Small Data”.

INSIGHTS GATHERED:

CHALLENGES:

Small data is also about what you don’t know and whats in people’s heads
Typically when people think about small data they think about the lack of quality data and small data sets. A much more fundamental problem is to discover the right data to solve your particular problem. Often times companies try to analyse big data sets to find answers, where the real valuable data that needs to be uncovered is in our heads. Tacit knowledge is something humans can not easily articulate. The real question is how to capture cognitive data. There is a clear push design system to capture this data more effectively, but at the same time Gary Klein argues that collecting in-depth expert knowledge is crucial to understand decision-making. …

In October, DataSeries, an OpenOcean led initiative hosted a Virtual Roundtable about “AI-based decision making” together with Jennifer L. Schenker, the founder of The Innovator. This also led to an article that you can find here: AI-Decision Making: State Of Play And What’s Next

INSIGHTS GATHERED:

CHALLENGES:

The majority of corporations are not ready for sophisticated AI implementations:

• The main cause is poor data management and infrastructure
• Corporations should spend about 80% of their time putting into place the digital foundations for AI implementations

Data (schema) standards and structure needed

• “If there is one thing that we could do to save hundreds of billions of dollars every year, it’s to start with the standardisation of a data schema. When the mobile Internet was created, a lot of effort went into putting standardisation into place, resulting in a Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM). “We need the equivalent of a GSM for AI,” says Vishal…

FinnAir, an airline that dominates domestic and international air traffic in Finland, thought it could use AI to manage airport congestion.

AI alone was not up to the job so Finland’s largest airline instead implemented a hybrid system that uses AI to make predictions about air traffic and allows the humans-in-the-loop to make better decisions, explains Tero Ojanpera, CEO of Silo.ai, a Finnish AI lab that specializes in bringing cutting-edge AI talent to corporations around the world.

Getting the FinnAir project to that point was not a question of plug and play. It required a complex multi-step modeling process to help the organization become more AI literate. …

Anything that can be intelligently automated, will be.

This article was originally published with Tech.eu (view here), written by Tom Henkrisson (General Partner @ OpenOcean).

In 1999, as Steven Spielberg was preparing to make the movie “Minority Report”, he assembled a team of 15 technology experts to help him depict the world as it would look in 2054, the year that the movie takes place. The result was an impressive and somewhat dystopic future scape where technology permeates our lives.

It is too soon to say whether the vision of the future depicted in the movie will become reality, but 18 years after the film’s release, artificial intelligence (AI) and what is often called intelligent enterprise automation have had a profound impact in some areas. …

In July, DataSeries, an OpenOcean led initiative hosted a Virtual Roundtable about “Small & Synthetic Data”.

INSIGHTS GATHERED:

CHALLENGES:

85% of the data collected is “small data” (IDC, Gartner…)

The challenge of small data is different from big data, as combining data sets is a rarity, hence decent data quality is crucial. The data must be in a standardized format. An obvious challenge is that if a pattern isn’t present in the data, then there is no way for the algorithm to learn it. …
