Project Management and Artificial Intelligence

I am posting this as a supplement to several talks I'm giving on "Project Management and Artificial Intelligence"

I suggest you look at this previous blog post where I provided lots of information on AI and Project Management.


About AI:

• Free from IBM
• Free "The AI Ladder" book (Compliments of IBM - no email needed)  
• IBM Think Digital Conference (May 2020)- register for free on-demand content (including AI and other topics)
• AI Information and learning (by role)
• Badges
• AI for Kids
• IBM Learning community
• Gartner Hype Curve for Artificial Intelligence 2019 - this provides a summary of types of AI too (Forbes Article about it)
• Gartner: Artificial Sentience vs Artificial Intelligence
•  A glossary of basic artificial intelligence terms and concepts

Examples of AI:

• Chatbots
• Virtual Assistants: Alexa, Google Assistant, Siri, Cortana
• RPA
• Robots (e.g. Boston Dynamics and DARPA Robotics Challenge) and Cobots
• Forbes Article: "The 4 Ds Of Robotization: Dull, Dirty, Dangerous And Dear" by Bernard Marr
• Recommendation Engines: Amazon, Netflix, etc.
• Gaming (Go, Chess, Jeopardy, video games)
• Speech recognition and speech synthesis
• NLP – analyzing documents/ Knowledge Base
• Autonomous vehicles and semi-autonomous
• Expert systems / Decision support systems
• Medical diagnosis (oncology, radiology)
• Visual recognition (including Facial recognition)
• Spam filtering
• Fraud detection
• Digital Workers - e.g. ipsoft

Subfields of AI:

• Medium Artificial Intelligence and It’s Sub-Fields
• Artificial Intelligence subfields and their topics

Types of AI

•  Forbes (June 2019) : 7 Types Of Artificial Intelligence
•  AI Classification
• Classification based on likeness to Human Mind
• Reactive machines – no memory. e,g, big blue that mastered chess
• Limited memory - chatbots, self-driving cars, VAs
• Theory of Mind -  understands needs, emotions, beliefs
• Self-Aware - human-like intelligence and self-awareness
• Technical Classification
• Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI) aka Weak AI or Narrow AI: this is AI specialized in it's application area (e.g. what is available now)
• Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) aka Stong AI: self-learning in general areas like a human - "Technical Singularity"
• Artificial Superintelligence (ASI) – more than human
• Medium:  Types of Machine Learning Algorithms You Should Know
• Supervised Learning - Human does the teaching (labeled training)
• Unsupervised learning - learns on it's own to mine data for rules, patterns and groupings
• semi-supervised learning - lies between the two above: Human provides some training and the system extrapolates from there.
• reinforcement learning - Human provides a "reinforcement signal" (a "goal") and the AI "agent" interacts with the environment to see which experiences optimize the reinforcement. This is used for Gaming (Go, Chess), and autonomous vehicles.
