By Nguyen Xuan Hoai Director, AI Academy In the 4.0 era, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been applied in every nook and cranny of life and business, and is ready to replace humans if they do not do their utmost to improve their knowledge, skills, and confirm their position in society. AI is no longer a strange, distant concept. There are a great number of definitions of AI, but to put it simply, AI, sometimes called machine intelligence, is intelligence demonstrated by machines, in contrast to the natural intelligence displayed by humans and other animals. AI in all of life and business Numerous companies use AI to draw people’s attention to their newly-launched products, as well as to demonstrate that they are leading the technology trend. Particularly, a great deal of AI has been applied in smartphones. For example, the camera now automatically recognises the face, while there are also voice control capabilities, virtual assistants, and AI built into Facebook apps. In … [Read more...] about The future that lies in artificial intelligence

Artificial Intelligence enables students to create artwork
Stunning pieces of art created by Lao Cai high school students using artificial intelligence (AI) software is one of the highlights of a project implemented by the Korean Institute for Arts and Culture Development in Lao Cai province. These lively, artistic, surreal decorations based on vivid Lao Cai mountainous landscapes were brought to life and printed on square scarves and wall paintings. Under the guidance of Korean experts, high school students in Lao Cai province have made creative works after just one month of access to an AI programme. At the ceremony, students performed creative works by using virtual reality technology such as quick drawing by using Tilt Brush by Google, or producing electronic music by midi Launchpad. Twenty artworks celebrating 26 years of Vietnam-Korea diplomatic ties were also displayed at the event. –VNA … [Read more...] about Artificial Intelligence enables students to create artwork
Artificial Intelligence could mean 28 million jobs lost
Viet Nam News HÀ NỘI – New technology could mean 28 million jobs being lost in the ASEAN region. Innovations in Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology, coupled with its increased adoption, will have a big impact on the workforce across the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) over the next decade, according to a new study by Cisco and Oxford Economics. Titled ‘Technology and the Future of ASEAN Jobs’, the study claims innovations in digital technology will present big opportunities for ASEAN economies to boost their productivity and prosperity. A more widespread adoption of existing technologies, coupled with advances in the use of AI through software, hardware and robotics, will cut costs of goods and services, driving demand and creating millions of new jobs. The study predicts that the sectors that will see the greatest rise in demand for new workers are wholesale and retail (1.8 million new jobs), manufacturing (0.9 million), … [Read more...] about Artificial Intelligence could mean 28 million jobs lost
Artificial intelligence used to predict cancer growth
Scientists have used artificial intelligence to predict how cancers will progress and evolve. This could help doctors design the most effective treatment for each patient. A team led by the Institute of Cancer Research London (ICR) and the University of Edinburgh developed a new technique known as Revolver (Repeated Evolution of Cancer). This picks out patterns in DNA mutation within cancers and uses the information to forecast future genetic changes. The researchers said the ever-changing nature of tumours was one of the biggest challenges in treating cancer - with cancers often evolving to a drug-resistant form. Breast tumours However, if doctors can predict how a tumour will evolve, they could intervene earlier to stop cancer in its tracks before it has had a chance to evolve or develop resistance, increasing the patient's chances of survival. The team also found a link between certain sequences of repeated tumour mutations and survival outcome. This suggests that repeating … [Read more...] about Artificial intelligence used to predict cancer growth
