While taking Data Analytics at USF, I had the opportunity to present on how Capital One Financial uses data to train machine learning models for digital experiences like their AI assistant Eno, used in their mobile banking app. This is a great article if you are interested in how AI is being used in banking.

Capital One is advancing AI and #machinelearning to innovate and improve the customer experience. Prem Natarajan, PhD, EVP, Chief Scientist and Head of Enterprise AI shares an overview of our applied AI research, select areas of key AI & ML research for banking, and our AI academic partnerships. Learn more about how we use AI and machine learning at Capital One.

Our world is changing. In the coming decades, advancements in AI and adjacent technologies—cybersecurity, quantum computing and autonomous systems—will revolutionize every area of life and geopolitics. America and our world stand on the edge of what could be likened to a New Space Race regarding these critical technologies and it’s ultimate outcome will set the table for global leadership, technological innovation, economic security and national security for the next half century. The countries that soar to the highest heights of this Fourth Industrial Revolution will be the ones that can successfully mass mobilize the populations of their nation, particularly historically marginalized communities, into these critical technology areas through top-notch storytelling campaigns and targeted investments in education and infrastructure. That is why Black Tech Street is working to not only pioneer an AI and AS Center of Excellence in historic Greenwood, but is also pioneering the kind of AI-led storytelling that our nation will need to use to achieve the kind of widespread adoption and mass mobilization into these technology areas to catalyze our domestic innovation engine and ultimately protect our national security. See the first taste of such storytelling with the subject being Hack the Future Greenwood, the event we are hosting in partnership with SeedAI and the The Wilson Center to demonstrate the transformative potential of AI for Black Tulsans through use case-based challenges, keynoted by Olivia Zhu from the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. Through community-focused and targeted storytelling about AI and its emerging technologies, leveraging AI itself in storytelling and pointing to a tangible outcome driven example of how to catalyze holistic AI transformations, 21st century Greenwood can be the national blueprint for how to achieve the mass mobilization of minorities and rural communities that will allow the US to continue its technological leadership for the next half century while staving off catastrophic economic inequality that will ultimately be created by this new technological revolution. We are excited to be doing this work alongside incredible partners like Tulsa Innovation Labs, SeedAI, Microsoft, The Wilson Center and the once-in-a generation opportunity to compete to accelerate this work via the U.S. Economic Development Administration Tech Hubs designation and grant. Finally, we want to thank the genius that is Lyndon Alvarez of @, who once again found the perfect way to translate our storytelling vision into an unbelievable product. At this divisive moment in history, it’s time to lead and unite our country through the call of innovation, powered by the story and 21st example of one of the greatest and most inspiring examples of American ingenuity in history, Black Wall Street.

The Video of 23 minutes struck my mind over the weekend of Feb 24th and 25th, forcing me to hear it repeatedly once alone, next with my nine-year-old son, and with family. Here are the four questions that caught my attention : Q1: Where Should Countries Around the World Start Their AI Journey? 🌐 A: Building AI Infrastructure is the most fundamental need, and it's not expensive. Then, countries must own their data and develop their national intelligence using AI. Q2: What's the Role of AI in Education? 📚 A: The goal is to make AI tools so user-friendly that programming knowledge isn't necessary for everyone. AI should be accessible to all, allowing every individual to be a technologist in their domain. Q3: What's AI's Role in Society? 🌍 A: AI has the potential to address major challenges in society, like disease and resource limitations, heralding an era of discovery and innovation. Q4: Future of AI and Where Should It Focus More? 🔬 A: Biology is seen as a complex but impactful field. With AI, biology could shift from being a science of discovery to a field of engineering, leading to significant advancements in healthcare and sustainability. notes:https://lnkd.in/eA3TESdP 🤖 Join the conversation: How do you envision the integration of AI in these areas?

AI development, regardless of whether we get to AGI, is now clearly exponential. In this essay, I briefly explain that and provide a walk-through of exponential developments related to media, ending with robotics and a brief discussion of the impacts we are already starting to see in labor markets, the need for AI skills and literacy training, metacognitive skill development, and advocacy for a social adjustment fund. References from leading AI scientists and economists who study the issue and are starting to see real impacts are included. https://lnkd.in/e3d5rZ8b

Exploring the transformative role of artificial intelligence in enhancing software development workflows, our focus shifts to how Generative AI technologies are making significant strides in automating routine tasks and augmenting developer capabilities. This realm is witnessing a paradigm shift, where AI-driven tools are not merely assistants but powerful collaborators that elevate efficiency and innovation within the coding process.

ADAPTABLE ADVANTAGES OF GENERATIVE AI IN TECHNICAL FIELDS Generative AI offers numerous benefits and advantages, particularly in its adaptability across various fields. People with engineering skills often find it easier to transition into roles involving data analysis and technical program management, as these fields share common skill sets such as problem-solving, analytical thinking, and a grasp of technology. Generative AI's flexibility lies in its ability to learn from data, making it applicable in diverse areas from creative industries to scientific research. This adaptability not only enhances efficiency but also fosters innovation, enabling those with technical backgrounds to easily apply their skills in these evolving domains. #GenerativeAI #TechInnovation #EngineeringEvolution #DataAnalysis #TechnicalManagement #AIAdaptability #EfficiencyInTech #CrossFieldIntegration #FutureOfTechnology #SkillsetTransformation

With Artificial Intelligence (AI) top of mind in today's world, FOX is proud to partner with leading subject matter experts and organizations like Summitas. Dan Gregerson [Chairman & CEO], who recently wrote on "The AI Revolution in Family Offices and Wealth Management: Transforming the Uncertainties into a Roadmap for Improvement", details that:   "We humans approach AI with awe, excitement, and apprehension. It's no longer just a trendy topic discussed in boardrooms and technology labs. It's here beating World Go Champions, predicting the quaternary structures of proteins, inventing mathematical theorems, creating art, and helping our kids with homework. AI has become a visceral, emotionally charged reality, changing how we operate in almost every sector, including managing people's wealth and financial futures."   Click the link below to read the full blog post. https://lnkd.in/gev7wzRD To learn more about Summitas, check out their FOX Partner page. https://lnkd.in/gkYDquUX #familyoffice #familyoffices #artificialintelligence #artificialintelligenceforbusiness #uhnw
