The advances of AI in healthcare

Article | July 20, 2022

With the Government investing £250 million into the project, the Lab will consider how to use AI for the benefit of patients – whether this be the deployment of existing AI methods, the development of new technologies or the testing of their safety. Amongst other things, the initiative will aim to deliver earlier diagnoses of cancer. It is estimated that in excess of 50,000 extra patients could see their cancer being detected at an early stage, thus boosting survival rates. More specifically, a study has shown that AI is quicker in identifying brain tumour tissue than a pathologist.This would have a positive knock-on effect in other areas, such as enabling money to be saved (that otherwise would have been spent on further treatment) and reducing the workload of staff (at a time when there is a crisis in NHS workforce numbers).

Iterate.ai Brings Generative AI Capabilities to Interplay, the Low-Code Platform Accelerating Customers’ Digital Innovation

Iterate.ai | March 21, 2023

Iterate.ai, whose innovation ecosystem enables customers to build production-ready enterprise applications, today announced that its low-code Interplay platform now includes integrations with Stable Diffusion, ChatGPT, and other OpenAI tools across the fast-moving generative AI landscape. Interplay goes beyond what’s available in the industry today by enabling enterprises to fuse their custom AI models with generative AI systems to serve numerous use cases across industries. Interplay’s new generative AI capabilities unlock even faster digital innovation while— importantly—enabling companies to always own their IP with custom AI models. Paired together, Interplay’s low-code environment and generative AI give customers what they need to rapidly implement the most cutting-edge AI capabilities that would otherwise require significant resource investments and complex coding. Organizations can now leverage Interplay and generative AI to enhance and automate their existing product descriptions, create personalized product images on their retail sites, personalize ad campaigns with users' images and themes, build intelligent FAQs, and offer new conversational experiences, among other possibilities. Interplay and its generative AI integrations are applicable across industries, from retail to banking to insurance to healthcare. Some of the world's largest and most innovative companies—including Ulta Beauty, Circle K, and Pampered Chef—use the Interplay low-code platform to develop, scale, and iterate applications at a fraction of the time and expense it would take to hardcode and launch similar capabilities. The platform has continued to add cutting-edge, pre-coded technologies that customers can implement with drag-and-drop simplicity, including AI, machine learning, IoT, API data connections, and other capabilities. Iterate.ai believes that generative AI is one of today's most exciting and promising emerging technologies. Combining the power of generative AI with the Interplay low-code platform promises to further accelerate the pace that businesses can build differentiated, compelling, and modern digital experiences for their customers, employees, and partners. Interplay’s generative AI integration enables organizations to immediately leverage three capabilities from within the low-code environment: Text-to-code generator. Built on OpenAI, Interplay’s new text-to-code solution makes low-code application development faster. Users can generate code by entering a prompt for the desired functionality of the script from within the Interplay platform. Akin to GitHub Copilot, Interplay’s code generator actively assists developers with AI-generated low-code suggestions across the development process. Branded image generation. Interplay enables brands, advertisers, and designers to generate images from text prompts based on a set of training images already within the brand’s intellectual property. Merchandisers can fuse their custom data into Stable Diffusion models to generate customized product images, colorways, and lifestyle images based on customers’ known preferences. Brands can upload brand images, color palettes, and other assets, enter text descriptions, and rapidly produce new images to enhance their applications and customer experiences. GPT-3-powered training and support. Conversational experiences created by Interplay now will have the ability to answer questions and interact with customers via custom AI models and, for general queries, be able to tap into GPT-3 and other large language models (LLMs). “Like low-code itself, generative AI promises to multiply organizations’ productivity and eliminate even more of the traditional roadblocks to harnessing powerful technological capabilities,” said Brian Sathianathan, CTO of Iterate.ai. “The potent combination of the Interplay low-code platform and generative AI now allows developers (including those without any AI expertise) to rapidly build and iteratively perfect applications that deliver the features and experiences that set their companies apart. We’re proud to place some of today’s most powerful generative AI tooling in the hands of Interplay users, and excited to see what they create as they explore its possibilities.” About Iterate.ai Iterate.ai is the simplest, safest, and quickest way to get innovation done.

With SparkCognition, Industrial Insights are Faster and More Cost-effective

SparkCognition | March 09, 2023

On March 8, 2023, SparkCognition released its Generative AI Platform for Industrials. This will allow companies to use AI to solve problems where they couldn't before because there wasn't enough data. This is especially important for the industrial sector, where data is often limited because sensors are expensive and the machinery being monitored is hard to understand. SparkCognition's platform can help organizations get high-fidelity insights and reduce the amount of basic information they need to make good decisions by adding synthetic content to data sets on their own. The Generative AI Platform stands out because it can make fake content in the form of text, images, audio, and other signals. This lets organizations get a fuller picture of the performance of an asset or an entire end-to-end process, turn low-resolution images into high-resolution views, and make images that can be used in simulated real-world environments. This, in turn, makes it easier for organizations to analyze complicated situations and make decisions based on data. SparkCognition wants to make industry-specific large language models (LLMs) to improve the value of its generative AI platform. Large, unstructured datasets can be used by these deep learning algorithms to recognize, summarize, translate, predict, and make content. This technology has a wide range of effects on how companies decide which R&D investments to make first, how they manage production, how they optimize supply, how they direct distribution, and more. Chief Data Scientist at SparkCognition, Bruce Porter, said, "Generative AI will accelerate the rate of digital transformation by disrupting the way organizations approach decision-making and data management." He also said, "With the release of the SparkCognition Generative AI Platform, industrial organizations can generate real-time, cost-effective, critical insights to solve the most pressing challenges and redefine best practices." (Source – Cision PRNewswire) The market for generative AI is expected to grow significantly over the next decade. Analysts predict a compounded annual growth rate of 34.6%, with a market size of $109.3B in 2030, up from $10.8B in 2022. This growth will be driven by the ability to upgrade generative models using a company's data, whether it comes from sensors or from deep learning techniques like generative adversarial networks (GANs) and variational autoencoders (VAEs). The resultant models will be trained on large datasets and then fine-tuned for industrial applications. Overall, SparkCognition's generative AI platform has the potential to disrupt the way organizations approach decision-making and data management. It enables organizations to generate real-time, cost-effective, and critical insights to solve pressing challenges and redefine best practices. About SparkCognition SparkCognition is an AI solutions provider that partners with industry leaders to analyze and learn from data, optimize processes, and prevent cyberattacks. Its patented AI technologies, including machine learning and computer vision, aim to accelerate digital transformation and solve critical problems such as unexpected downtime, asset performance, and worker safety. SparkCognition's solutions also help achieve net-zero initiatives and eliminate accidents while avoiding zero-day cyberattacks.
