How ready is your workplace for AI? The transformation is coming for industry and academia alike, and colleges can expect a new way of doing things because of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. AI isn’t the only thing that’s going to spur that process on, though: Blockchain will also play a major role. Healthcare, one of the biggest sources of data, is poised for AI transformation in the imaging field, and Intel and Microsoft are making sure that this can all be operated with natural language.
Forbes Insights AI Issue 3: How Will AI Transform Work?
Artificial intelligence is kind of a big deal. It’s going to change how you, yes you reading this right now, do your job every day. Everyone from the C-suite down to the interns is going to engage with their work differently and, in the age of AI, much of it will be more human than ever.

Healthcare accounts for a huge percentage of total data in existence, and medical imaging accounts for a huge percentage of healthcare data. A gigantic segment of the total data produced by humanity is from X-rays and CT scans, and with good reason. Those pictures help us detect collapsed lungs, cancer, and other ailments, which is why Intel and GE have released a toolkit to help providers get insights faster.
Accelerate AI With Intel Architecture Powering Microsoft Azure
Okay, let’s be real for a minute: Everyone kind of wants to talk to their computer like they’re in “Star Trek.” We all want to say, “Computer! On screen!” at least once. Fortunately, that’s one aspect of sci-fi technology that we’ve gotten pretty solidly down, with solutions like cognitive computing that allow for human-like interactions and natural language processing that will let you pretend you’re Captain Picard.
