Think of a typical recruitment process. The HR department places job advertisements. They receive tons of applications, sometimes running into thousands.  The teams must go through all the resumes. It makes it possible for them to narrow down to those they feel may be the best fit.    The potential candidates come in for interviews. In the end, the HR manager makes a decision. The process can be time-consuming and expensive. Whether the applicant will be hired or not will depend on several factors. Of course, the competency level of the recruit should matter.

Machine Learning is not a new technology. We have already seen many applications with advanced AI algorithms. When the pandemic hit the human race, there was a rising concern that our hands should not come into regular contact with our faces. It was essentially pointed out in a post on Reddit when this user wanted to create an app using Machine Learning to alert them whenever their hands came near their face. Though this is just one instance of ML’s application, it is almost integral to many mobile apps.  According to this tweet, 2019 saw more funding than any other AI-based...

It seems like every week, there’s a news report about how artificial intelligence is disrupting one industry or another. Nothing feels more futuristic than the promise of autonomous cars, but it’s important to recognize that AI’s uses already permeate other aspects of our lives in ways that feel far less at home in a science-fiction film. Everything from Google’s search engine algorithms to Apple’s SIRI uses AI to operate more effectively. With the Wall Street Journal reporting that investment in AI is up more than 40 percent than last year, you may be wondering how AI will impact call centers....

The acronym "NASA" stands for National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The term Aeronautics comes from the Greek words for "air" and "to sail." It is a government agency that was created by Congress in 1958. NASA is located in Washington, D.C. Their mission is to explore space and aeronautics, or flight research. What then are the technologies NASA use to explore Mars? One of them is Artificial intelligence (AI): Artificial Intelligence has played a key role in the technology used for exploring Mars. BeyondLimits is a pioneering AI company with deep roots in the NASA space program, notably AI technology developed at the Jet Propulsion...

Big data promises to help businesses uncover opportunities they never knew existed. According to the IDC, by 2020, there will be enough data in the world to fill a stack of tablets equivalent to 6.6 times the distance between the Earth and the moon. While the future looks exciting through the lens of big data, organisations have a lot to consider before they dive in. The Futurist on Big Data In big data, futurists see greater efficiencies, increased productivity, reduced costs, and business growth. For the futurist, any business that does not build its strategy around data is dead in the water. Nearly 80%...

Technology advancement is a topic that cannot be exhaustively discussed because when we think a man has gotten to an unbelievable and remarkable height, the standard gets broken again without something more sophisticated.

For many years now, artificial intelligence been the major foundation of technology. Almost everything we use virtually is artificial intelligence without us knowing this. Let's take, for instance, google map has in-built artificial intelligence. Question is what is really Artificial Intelligence (AI)?  How close did we get to the artificial intelligence? According to Wikipedia, artificial intelligence also known as machine intelligence defines AI research as the study of "intelligent agents": any device that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chance of successfully achieving its goals. Let's look at a few opinions from experts on what they think about how close...

“Ending gender-based violence is an urgent national priority that requires the mobilisation of all South Africans and the involvement of all institutions.” – President Cyril Ramaphosa, February 2019 When we launched rAINbow, an artificial intelligence-powered smart companion that aims to democratise support for victims of domestic violence, in November last year, we did not expect that it would facilitate over 150,000 conversations with South Africans in just over 3 months. This speaks to the fact – as President Ramaphosa noted in his State of the Nation address – that violence against women and children has reached “epidemic proportions” and that something...

The best thing about frameworks is that they provide a common platform for many different programming languages. Same goes for Microsoft’s .NET framework, which is a collection of technical support that empowers both businesses as well as individual users. Covering various programming languages on one platform, the ASP.NET framework makes for an amazing choice as compared to other development models for developing artificial intelligence and machine learning applications. Before on moving to our main topic, let’s look at the basic terminology of Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, and Big Data. Artificial intelligence is a vast subject and cannot be explained in a single...

When most of us envision artificial intelligence (AI) we envision the film of the same name that was released in the early 2000's. Some of us might even recall the HAL 9000 voice from 2001.  Of course, these were nothing more than works of vision although they were quite convincing at the time. While computers are far from becoming self-aware, the fact of the matter is that artificial intelligence has already become an indelible part of our daily lives.  Smart home entertainment systems, dedicated mobile phone apps, Amazon Alexa, and auto-complete fields when performing a simple Google search are all...
