This is a presentation on IBM cloud AI capabilities I have given in 2018 to a group of worldwide architects.It's a little old so verify on the progress before you make any assumptions.I am sharing in the hope that someone may learn something from this or it may be useful to someone.

from around
2,000 foods
to identify
meals, food
items, and
dishes
Custom
Model
• Create
custom
visual
classifiers
Explicit
Model
• Assess
image for
objectionabl
e content
Face Model
• Detect
human
faces in the
image with
age range
and gender

26. Personality Insights
Agreeableness is a
person's tendency to be
compassionate and
cooperative toward
others.
Conscientiousness is a
person's tendency to act
in an organized or
thoughtful way.
Extraversion is a
person's tendency to
seek stimulation in the
company of others.
Emotional range, Natural
reactions, is the extent to
which a person's emotions are
sensitive to the person's
environment.
Openness is the extent
to which a person is
open to experiencing
different activities.
Derive insights from transactional(email, text messages) and social media data(tweets, forum
posts).
Identify psychological traits which determine purchase decisions, intent and behavioral traits;
utilized to improve conversion rates.
It uses Big Five personality characteristics which describes how a person engages with the world.

• Disgust
• Fear
• Joy
• Sadness
Social propensities
• Openness
• Conscientiousness
• Extroversion
• Agreeableness
• Emotional range
Language styles
• Analytical
• Confident
• Tentative

31. AI OpenScale:Visibility,Bias detection

32. IBM Cloud AI: Case Studies
Autodesk : Their chabot, Ava handles over 150,000
customer contacts per month and improved customer
response times by 99%. They are now
developing Autodesk Contract Explorer (ACE) which can
read and review arduous procurement contracts.
Fukoku Mutual Life Insurance: IBM Watson
actually replaced 34 human insurance brokers. Now it
calculates the insurance payouts to customers.
Staples: They created a 'smart' ordering button which
takes voice command like "order more red pens“ and
place an order. It reduces the ordering time and
complications of online ordering.
