Enterprise #AI and #MachineLearning | @ExpoDX #IoT #ArtificialIntelligence

Artificial intelligence and machine learning systems are made up of code and algorithms, and as such, they work as fast as computers can process them.  Often this means massive amounts of learning can be accomplished every second without stop 24x7x365.  Code doesn't need to take weekends off, holidays, or sick time. Code doesn't get tired. It can recognize complex patterns, areas of potential improvement and problems in real-time (aka digital-time).  Given these available computing capabilities and speeds, what are executives to do with AI and machine learning, when we live and operate in relatively slow human-time, and work within organizations that work at an even slower pace of organizational-time. I believe the first step is to admit we have a problem - the problem is a difference in the speed that computers can operate, and the speeds in which us humans can pr... (more)

Lead or Perish – Disrupt Your Business with Mobile to Gain a Timely Edge

Eric Schmidt, executive chairman of Google, once said: "If you don't have a mobile strategy, you don't have a strategy of growth." I agree. The gap continues to grow between organizations that have embraced mobility as a way of life and those that maintain a tactical business approach and continue to resist the inevitable. The latter find themselves increasingly struggling to play catch-up and stay relevant. Those that have taken a "mobile first" approach have disrupted the status quo and achieved unprecedented levels of success in a very short period of time. Consider Uber, for example; launched in March 2009, the ridesharing service quickly tapped into customers' enthusiasm for ‘everything mobile' and is now valued at more than US$15 billion. The company completely destabilized the traditional taxi model, which simply cannot match the agility of a fully mobile bu... (more)
