W.T.F: AI DESIGN
AI Design is an approach we use to create the best AI systems. It combines knowledge in design thinking, human-computer interaction, psychology, behavioural science, user experience, user interface, and technology.
GOALS
HUMANS COME FIRST
Artificial Intelligence has pros and cons in using and applying it to replace or enhance humans’ jobs. AI Design aims to do it in the best possible way to benefit human lives.
BETTER INTERACTIONS
Artificial Intelligence is practical and provides value when it is well-designed. Therefore, it is crucial to analyse the context and the user to create the best interactions between humans and machines.
DISCOVER WHERE TO APPLY AI
Business people rush to apply AI in their companies; however, it is more challenging than that. AI Designers follow different methodologies to understand the context and propose where to use this technology to automate or enhance specific processes.
CURIOUS FACTS
AI IS THE NEW ELECTRICITY
It will transform every industry and create enormous economic value
56% of the 2021 McKinsey survey participants reported
AN AI ADOPTION IN AT LEAST ONE FUNCTION IN THEIR COMPANY
Although the outstanding AI performance…
there are some areas where businesses have room for improvement
EXPLAINABILITY – PRIVACY – EQUITY – WORKFORCE DISPLACEMENT
AI Design is ready to mitigate some of those aspects
AI Design
IS MORE THAN
understanding the users and creating interfaces
It could help Data Scientists tackle problems and design models in a more creative way
multidisciplinary teams are keyĀ
W.T.F: Data Science
Data Science is an interdisciplinary approach that merges various knowledge fields to draw conclusions from data.
GOALS
CLEAN & STUDY DATA
Understand how you scrap your data and make correct decisions in processing, visualising, and showing the main ideas.Ā
CREATE & MANTAIN MODELS
Everything is changing and improving fast. Models and techniques must be updated, particularly in Data Science, to create competitive solutions in the industry.
DEVELOP ALGORITHMS
Design and implement algorithms according to high standards. It must include correct measures and hyperparameters understanding to improve any model.
CURIOUS FACTS
From the dawn of times to 2003
5 BILLION GIGABYTES OF DATA…
had been generated.
By 2010, this amount of data was being created every
2 DAYS
and by 2021 this amount took just
40 MINUTES
80%Ā
of a Data Scientist’s time is spent simply
finding, cleansing and organizing data
ONLY 20%
of this time to actually perform the analysis
DATA SCIENCE AND BIG DATA TAUGHT US
BIGGER
units than we knew before, like:
zettabyte: 1,000^7 bytes
and
yottabyte: 1,000^8 bytes
W.T.F:QUANTUM COMPUTING
Quantum Computing is an emerging technology; we all know what’s computing but What’s Quantum?
Its literal meaning is the minimum amount of any physical entity. At a microscopic scale, there are some small but significant features and differences with classical physics that allow the development of new technologies.
So if we exploit superposition and entanglement (quantum characteristics), we can take advantage of them for practical applications in computing to reach a more extensive scope than without using them.
HOW CAN YOU START?
DESIGN A ROADMAP
It may be too early to implement, but definitely not too early to start planning to get ahead of the competition. Create a five years work plan.
DEFINE YOUR FOCUS
Quantum computers have the potential to transform industry value chains, particularly in the areas of chemistry, biology, healthcare, materials science, finance and artificial intelligence (AI). Where do you want to be?
SELECT YOUR CREW
Designate some of your leading professionals to understand, ideate and teach QC concepts in your company. Knowledge will spread one way or another.
CURIOUS FACTS
Big opportunitiesĀ
FOR EVERYONE
tech giants dominate Quantum Computing
BUT IT’S STILL
ANYBODY’S GAME
TOSHIBA
estimated their Quantum Key Distribution
WILL GENERATE
$3 BILLIONS
in revenue by 2030
EXPONENTIAL GROWTH IN
SPEED & POWER
We will be able to do things
IN SECONDS OR HOURS
rather than
YEARS OR CENTURIES
