Artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere, promising self-driving cars, medical breakthroughs, and new ways of working. But how do you separate hype from reality? How can your company apply AI to solve real business problems?
Here’s what AI learnings your business should keep in mind for 2017.
Study: The Future of VR, AR and Self-Driving CarsLinkedIn
We asked LinkedIn members worldwide about their levels of interest in the latest wave of technology: whether they’re using wearables, and whether they intend to buy self-driving cars and VR headsets as they become available. We asked them too about their attitudes to technology and to the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the devices that they use. The answers were fascinating – and in many cases, surprising.
This SlideShare explores the full results of this study, including detailed market-by-market breakdowns of intention levels for each technology – and how attitudes change with age, location and seniority level. If you’re marketing a tech brand – or planning to use VR and wearables to reach a professional audience – then these are insights you won’t want to miss.

The ‘global’ economic downturn and subsequent phase of austerity have prompted a search for ‘alternative’, more sustainable models of resilient and redistributive growth. Yet the geographical scope of that predominantly Western search remains limited in the face of a ‘cosmopolitan’ diversity of financial practice. This paper identifies major possibilities for advancing our understanding of ‘economic resilience’ through new intradisciplinary engagements with resilience research ‘by another name’ in development studies. These ideas are developed through an empirical analysis of faith-based charitable giving amongst the Somali migrant community in London, for whom Islam forms a major defining element of their identity and is difficult to disentangle from Somali culture. This analysis challenges internalist conceptions of economic resilience through a diversity of translocal resilience practices of financing provision, resource redistribution and livelihood that are simultaneously rooted within and across the global South and global North – this as a function of migrants who move. We also outline a series of future research possibilities that emerge from this work. Faith-based charity and human compassion offer vital (yet heavily under-researched) components of economic resilience, through which monetary and non-monetary assets are mobilised to help people in need.
