A Complete Guide on Predictive Analytics
Predictive analytics is a combination of multiple statistical technologies and methodologies that covers data mining, predictive modeling as well as machine learning. This methodology conducts an in-depth analysis of present and historical data to make future predictions. The objective of predictive analytics(1) is not just limited to knowing what happened, but also to get a better evaluation of what can possibly happen in the future. How Does Predictive Analytics Work?
Op-Ed: The Responsibility of Data Democratization
Technology has an immensely influential power on the construct of society in the form of how we work, live and play. Therefore, innovators and experts in the space have an inherent responsibility and moral compass to uphold. Data Democratization is a prime example, removing barriers and gatekeepers to valuable information. Done properly, a democratized approach to data gives people an opportunity to have a greater impact on their jobs, be more knowledgeable and make better decisions.
How GUI limits productivity and creativity

Early computers relied on punch cards that dictated commands through a coded, hole-punched card. Later came DOS command prompts, which allowed users to type in commands. Then, came something revolutionary.
The Relationship Between Graphical and Voice User Interfaces
Personal computing has advanced lightning fast for more than three decades and we’ve grown accustomed to the speed. Every year, devices are quicker, tools are smarter, and software is more responsive to our needs. But we sit at an interesting cross-section in that development as emerging technologies powered by AI show us a vision of the future. Even in a crude and sometimes glitchy state no technology is more representative of this than the voice user interface.
Software Inside the Hardware: Unlocking the Skills in a VUI
Voice assistants are increasingly ubiquitous in American households. More than 50 million households have some form of a smart speaker and it’s predicted to rise to as many as 100 million in the next 1-2 years. Part of the reason for this is the simplicity with which users can ask simple questions of the devices and get accurate responses. Like the best technologies, it integrates into daily life seamlessly. But these systems only know what they are programmed to know.

The Learning Curve of Voice User Interfaces
I’d argue that analytics shouldn’t require fancy dashboards and complex logins, or even a computer screen. You should be able to ask a question, and simply get an answer. That is the beauty of VUI (voice-user interface), and its application and integration to technologies will change preexisting learned behavior.
Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant are changing how we interact with the world by doing it for us
Innovation shapes our daily experiences, offering us the chance to seize the convenience offered by modern technology. Since the advent of smart speakers and voice-enabled digital assistants, voice-user interface (VUI) technology has experienced an explosion in popularity among consumers and developers alike. VUI grants us convenience—and in our fast-paced modern world, the time saved by VUI is a valuable benefit. A look at online shopping hints at the potential of VUI.

Why Leveraging Existing Platforms Is The Future Of App Development
More than a decade after the launch of the first mobile app ecosystem, we’ve reached a tipping point. Through the end of 2018 , there were more than an estimated 2 million apps each in both Apple's App Store and Google's Play Store. And those numbers were actually slight decreases from the year prior as older applications no longer supported on modern devices were removed.
The Rise Of Conversational Interfaces And Their Impact On Business
We’re in the midst of a fundamental shift in how people interact with computers. What started as an impressive novelty has become a trillion-dollar opportunity and a trigger to an arms race between technology’s largest companies to be the go-to solution for voice search. Conversational user interface provides the kind of direct engagement with computers that we’ve dreamed of since the first episode of Star Trek more than 50 years ago.
Keeping Data Safe And Building Trust When Implementing AI In Your Enterprise
Artificial intelligence (AI) offers an incredible opportunity for enterprise organizations to streamline operations, improve the customer journey, implement new user interfaces and generally build a smarter, faster business. But, as we’ve seen in recent years, the rapid dash to integrate these new technologies is creating major liabilities that can have substantial negative impacts on businesses that aren’t prepared.
How Voice Interfaces Speak To The Future Of Business
As the founder of VUI for business software, I’ve been keeping an eye on voice interfaces, or VUI, recently. I believe it speaks to the future of business. The amazing part about VUI is how it gets integrated into each industry. It’s already here in the consumer world. From Siri to Cortana, from Alexa to Google Assistant, we’re all barking orders into our devices.
Does AI Make People More or Less Intelligent?
By Adrien Schmidt, CEO of Bouquet and Co-Founder of Squid Solutions. People often ask me: Does artificial intelligence make people more or less intelligent? It's actually a pretty smart question. Sure, the obvious answer is "more" because you'd assume that anything that serves up all the answers you could ever need will only make you smarter. But there is also the great possibility that by leaning on AI too heavily, we'll lose certain skill sets and only get dumber.
Why We Need to be Mindful of Who Programs AI
One thing Artificial Intelligence can’t be is prejudiced. It should be impossible; machines don’t suddenly decide to hate, they’re all about the facts. But what if the people programming them are prejudiced themselves? A disturbing new report in Science reveals that some are inadvertently doing just that. Who remembers Microsoft’s Tay, a 2016 chatbot designed to ape the verbal machinations of a 19-year-old American girl?
Experts weigh in on the future of AI: ‘work with it, not against it’
The falsely instilled fear that AI is taking jobs hinders the full creative expansion and capability of our generation. Spiderman’s Uncle Joe once said, “With great power comes great responsibility.” With so much data to account for, it is up to us, the artificial intelligence (AI) innovators and entrepreneurs, to find out how to go the extra mile to protect privacy and personal data.
Can You Tell the Difference Between AI And Reality?
Artificial intelligence (AI) has fascinated technologists for more than a century. Since the first machines took over computational processes for human computers, we’ve been intrigued by the idea of a machine that can pass as human. In 1950, Alan Turing developed his eponymous test to pinpoint the exact moment at which this becomes possible.
The Emergence Of AI Analysts And Their Growing Importance In A Booming Industry
Recently named the second fastest growing job role in America (paywall), the role of AI analyst is becoming increasingly important across numerous disciplines as AI technology becomes more ubiquitous. The integration of AI systems into digital processes, retail and logistics is enabling a rapid shift in the speed and performance of many business processes. At the same time, it is accelerating the rate of change.
How Does AI Measure Up to Other Tech Trends on The Gartner Hype Cycle?
We live in a world that is at the cutting edge of new tools that will revolutionize how we live our lives. Five years ago, the internet of things was sprouting from the connected devices attached to our wrists and dotting our living rooms. Ten years before that, mobile phones were exploding not only in popularity, but in functionality and accessibility. Today, the technology trend that promises to upend how we live our lives is artificial intelligence.
