“Data is new oil and #AI is the refinery"
me as kid thinking about future of machine
intelligence because I went World Fair in NY ;-)

meaning-making, creative work with imagination, critical reasoning will
be uniquely valuable and require a greater emphasis on lifelong learning

3. so we can stop presentation here then ;-)
The greatest enemy of knowledge is not
ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge —
Stephen Hawking

4. At IBM Vision 2017 thought leader Steve Ardire sat down with
Encenora Martinez IBM's Watson Analytics Director to discuss
importance of the "why" in business analytics
http://www.ibmbigdatahub.com/video/understanding-why-business-analytics.
How Augmented Intelligence will deliver the “why” with unprecedented
level of insight, relevance and speed.
Why-AI combines prediction with causal inference
( commonsense reasoning ) to address problems that
look beyond correlation into root causes and to
addresses behavioral understanding and perceptions
https://futurism.com/teaching-ai-common-sense/

5. IBM a great AI ambassador
Let me emphasize what Ginny
said about he coming era of
exponential learning
Ginny Rometty “ in five years, cognitive AI
will impact every decision made” from
healthcare to education to financial services

7. “The Rise of Emergent Organizations” by @bethcomstock
https://medium.com/emergent-era/the-rise-of-emergent-organizations-76e67e5860f0#.uyy7euihg
Mimic emergent systems in nature by distributing the decision making process as widely across the network as
possible. To change, start with changing how you communicate. Everything will flow from that !
1.Organize around information flows; ditch hierarchy and
bureaucracy.
2.Empower individuals
3. Replace long lists of rules with a good M.O
4. Get Used to Living in the “In Between”
5. Open up new feedback loops
6. Tap into the power of minds and machines.
AI + Complexity = A Powerful Strategic Advantage
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbpFAn2UwVA
IMO the 5 Traits of Top Performers
1. Intellectual firepower
2. Values (Integrity, empathy )
3. Passion
4. Critical Thinking / Judgement
5. Authenticity but OK to be different ;-)

8. Picture a Leader. Is She a Woman? Most people will draw a man. Researchers investigate the consequences.

this’ will reinvent themselves
several times to adapt and stay
relevant #futureofwork
Why?

10. @IBM interviewed 30 #AI experts to explore AI and creativity
• If creative is seeing world in different ways and connecting patterns to find solutions, AI
potentially has a superior level of creative intelligence.
• But humans have AI trumped in our ability to interpret sensory information and learn by
intuition our unique capacities for creativity and emotional expression
Rob High, VP/CTO IBM Watson gets it right with Augmenting creativity “What we're more interested in are the techniques of
interacting with humans that inspire creativity in humans “
Reads and reacts to users based on their body rhythms, emotions, preferences,
and data points.
AI is used to analyze users’ behavior or preferences to sculpt unique storylines
and narratives, essentially allowing for a story that changes in real time based on
who you are and how you feel.
This is where Mixed Reality and AI becomes a catalyst for very compelling and
engaging Interactive entertainment

11. TYPE III is about Augmented Intelligence
• Today’s machine learning cannot understand what you want and explain
information intuitively to you.
• Machine intelligence and predictive capabilities make software adaptable so you
can continue to learn from data even as conditions change.
• What Alexa et al lacks is continuous learning with strong capability to understand
language and complex logic within specific and across multiple contexts
• Ergo context awareness and switching learned automatically for more natural
interaction is a key R&D focus area
• What’s next is AI assistant that learns to anticipate your needs especially with
tsunami of social, sensor, messaging, video, audio intelligence to process in real
time to generate something actionable in the moment
• Interest in ambiguity and uncertainty has grown because the future in many
business sectors is in constant flux and far from certainty.
• While AI can compute complex analysis, humans provide the bolt out of the blue;
the patterns within patterns, with intuitive leap into something wholly new.
we’re here now to get thisthis is next

12. @Soulmachines #EI for #AI
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3PBNJ6rI94&feature=youtu.be
Type III also about #emotionAI that defines context of interaction for understanding behavior & perception
Ray Kurzweil: computers will match
or beat human intelligence with
emotions & sense of humor
hippocampus plays role in memory and spatial navigation, is
essential to one’s ability to recognize previously encountered
events, objects, or people – a phenomenon known as
recognition memory

20 fascinating facts about #emotions
#16 EQ > IQ. 85% of your financial success is due
to your personality and ability to communicate,
negotiate, and lead.
Robbie.ai assesses and
predicting human emotions

13. In order to truly work well together, AI will need to be able to understand and respond to
human emotions through verbal and facial cues, cultural practices, and social norms.
Anyone have any trash talk with AI on #Think2018 show floor ?

Companies Reimagining Business Processes with Algorithms
https://hbr.org/2016/02/companies-are-reimagining-business-processes-with-algorithms
“Machines can attend to vastly more information and more complex
processes than human beings.”

15. So let’s start with Analytics apps today
Automated analytics
and reporting across
all departments
boosts productivity
and drives
meaningful insights

16. Immersive Insights:
• through AR enabling data scientists and non-
expert users to uncover multidimensional
relationships in data, extracting actionable
knowledge that may not be discoverable by
any other means.
• depth perception and motion cues that users
experience in AR improves their ability to
interpret 3D plots.
Next gen Analytics merges AI,
Big Data and Mixed Reality
Automated analytics across all departments will
boost productivity and drive meaningful insights,
while augmenting intelligence will power storytelling
with faster time to insight.

17. WRAP UP Quick Reactions from panel & audienceSo going forward its all about Augmented Intelligence
90% of information transmitted to the brain is visual
• monetary and nonmonetary gains e.g.,
worker time customer satisfaction, reduced
anxiety, improved health benefits.
• Going forward it will be a competitive
advantage for all players big and small
AI and the Need for Speed
But Decentralized AI Is Coming ;-)

18. #ArtificialIntelligence projected to drive $15.7 trillion of global #GDP gains by 2030
By 2020, #AI will a top five investment
priority for >30% of CIOs #GartnerAI
AI have’s pull ahead of have nots so what countries biggest winners ?

19. The Coming Wave of AI infused Expert Automation & Augmentation Software
https://www.cbinsights.com/research/expert-automation-augmentation-software-eaas/
EAAS helps humans do countless complex
tasks that are either beyond human cognition
and/or inefficient for human beings to do

Collaborative Overload http://s.hbr.org/1P3KGIG 20% to 35% of value-added collaborations come from just 3% to 5% of employees
Why Machines Will Emerge as Top Collaborators and in AI Age,
“Being Smart” Will Mean Something Completely Different
• Many jobs will be automated but drive human capital to higher-
order, non-routine cognitive creative work
• The Future of Human Work Is Imagination, Creativity, and Strategy
• Machines can attend to vastly more
information and more complex processes
than human beings

21. How Augmented Intelligence Will Redefine Management
1: Leave Administration to AI
2: Focus on Judgment Work
3: Treat Intelligent Machines as “Colleagues”
4: Work Like a Designer Practice
5: Develop Social Skills and Networks
Rise of the Strategy Machines
http://mitsmr.com/2bZiH5n via @mitsmr
While humans may be ahead of computers in the ability to create
strategy today, we shouldn’t be complacent about our dominance.
Jobs taken over by robots include 'condescending white man’
Gartner: By 2018, more than 3 million workers globally will
be supervised by a “robo-boss."

24. Cognitive biases influence the way we think and act
https://ethicsinaction.ieee.org/
Machine learning algorithms will pick up on any bias in the data they are given to learn from, and it is
very easy for bias to be unwittingly introduced into those algorithms by their designers.

superior to
humans ?

26. Summary: Augmented Intelligence is new way forward !
1. Augmented Intelligence transcends current model of narrow artificial intelligence. We’re on the cusp of a new
era where machines and humans working together will be pervasive and a competitive imperative.
2. Augmented Intelligence allows us to better understand and improve operations too complex for human mind to
manage with faster time to insights
3. Augmented Intelligence with Causal AI displays greatest potential to change the way industries operate and
businesses compete
