What is the future of AI? Parts of this post on Artificial Intelligence were written by a revolutionary bot called ChatGPT. AI already predicts the weather. What about using Artificial Intelligence to predict other types of events or using AI to forecast how people will behave? Infosys has invested hugely in predictive analytics using AI, for example in the oil and gas sector. Engineers planted around 30 sensors on several oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico, and connected their data outputs to AI. The AI sensors were recording things like temperature, air pressure, low frequency vibrations, high pitched sounds and so on, and matching the data to other events such as mechanical breakdowns. After a few weeks, the team had an alert from the Artificial Intelligence system, warning that there was going to be a problem soon on one of the rigs, which was not taken very seriously because the AI system had only just been set up. A few days later there was a major incident, and the engineers realised that AI discovered how to prevent disasters. But how? AI had detected unusual and obscure data patterns beyond any human understanding.
The same has happened with doctors reading X rays of bones or 3D scans of the human brain. An AI diagnostic system was fed with tens of thousands of images, matched with diagnosis made at the time by experts. AI was also fed older images of the same person. So for example, a brain tumour may have been obvious in the later images but invisible to the human eye in earlier ones. And as a result, in many hospitals around the world, AI is now detecting cancers far earlier than any human being can manage. Indeed, AI is better at image analysis than the human beings that trained AI. Not just for medical images, but any images: AI face recognition, AI recognition of people by the way they walk, and so on...

Future Travel Keynote Speaker:Auto, Rail, Aviation
The Future of Aviation - keynote at ZAL Innovation Forum HamburgThe future of innovation in aviation will be dominated by three words: EMOTION, SPEED and SCALE.
EMOTION: travel has always been driven by emotion, by the deeply rooted human desire to explore, experience, engage. 85% of humanity lives in emerging markets and most have yet to experience their first flight.
SPEED: I am not referring here to supersonic air travel or space travel – both of which will continue to be exotic and unusual for the next 20-30 years. Just look instead at the speed of recovery of airline ticket sales the moment that COVID restrictions relaxed, as I predicted. And this speed is of course driven by emotion.
We will also see massive acceleration in speed of innovation across aviation in the race towards carbon zero.
SCALE: the investment required to deliver a new world-class passenger aircraft is so vast that only 2-3 companies have the ability to do so. The same applies to massive infrastructure that will soon be needed to carry the world’s aviation fleet towards alternative fuels.
Most board debates about the future of aviation are not about what is going to happen but are about timing...
