With each passing day, AI advancements grow increasingly significant, demanding the close attention of both corporations and governments. It is imperative for all stakeholders to grasp the ramifications of AI on the workforce and societal inequality. While past research has predominantly revolved around the potential of AI-driven automation and the specter of job displacement, a crucial aspect often overlooked has been policy evaluation that considers those directly impacted—employers and employees within the workplace. Through a comprehensive survey encompassing the perspectives of over 5000 individuals and 2000 firms, we endeavor to unravel the intricate web of AI implementation within professional settings and, by proxy, potential policy solutions to combat the various aspects of AI. The revelations stemming from our study are telling Training emerges as an indispensable catalyst in the assimilation of AI, rendering it more effective and, notably, enhancing the perceptions of AI among the workforces. Furthermore, consultations surrounding AI integration within organizations prove to be a positive force, facilitating its harmonious coexistence with human labor. However, it is the vital nexus of communication between employers and employees that stands as the linchpin to the successful incorporation of AI into the modern workplace. Furthermore, examples of federal and regulatory policy are provided that could be used to combat concerns that will arise in accompaniment with AI. In essence, our findings implore a balanced and nuanced approach—One that empowers rather than alienates employees. Only through such an approach can we hope to foster coexistence between AI and the invaluable human workforce.展开更多

Indeed, the health and political authorities, in order to fight against the virus in a preventive manner, require the respect of barrier gestures: social distance, mask, vaccine, gel. Still in terms of public health, long waits in a place for a service have a negative impact on the health of fragile categories such as the disabled, pregnant women and the elderly. The technical devices used for queue management must now take into account the health context, identity, particularity and behaviour of people. This paper presents an electronic system developed with artificial intelligence for queue management in public facilities. This design personalises the user’s ticket by automatically integrating the name, facial image, age and possible disability status. At the counters, a system of name calling, sound and screen display, allows users to follow the queue without having a ticket printed on thermal paper with a high carbon footprint. This solution also makes illiterate users autonomous in the queue, allowing them to maintain their dignity and to respect the safety distance between people. The device allows the establishment’s manager, depending on the context, to activate positive discrimination of the disabled or the elderly, to control the Covid-19 mark or the health pass by QR Code. This queue manager performs biometric authentication by facial recognition before the user is registered in the queue register, which prevents fraud by people who do not want to respect the order of arrival of users. This work has led to the improvement of the technical management of queues by introducing more equity, inclusion, solidarity, health and ecology.展开更多

Banks can engage in implementation of new Virtual Assistants and Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) machine learning technologies, just as the other industries have engaged in modernizing <i>i.e. </i> medical checks, medical reports and evaluations, and this research paper will elaborate and emphasize the impact of artificial intelligence implementation on the banking sector processes. This research is based on both quantitative and model-based proofs of system performance by using several analytical tools, such as SPSS. The automation process helps institutions to enhance profitability, performance and to reduce human dependency. In a nutshell, Virtual Assistants powered with Artificial Intelligence improve the business process performance in every sector of business, especially the banking sector making it fast, reliable and not human dependent.
文摘With the proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, the profound impact it has had on the economy cannot be ignored. With each passing day, AI advancements grow increasingly significant, demanding the close attention of both corporations and governments. It is imperative for all stakeholders to grasp the ramifications of AI on the workforce and societal inequality. While past research has predominantly revolved around the potential of AI-driven automation and the specter of job displacement, a crucial aspect often overlooked has been policy evaluation that considers those directly impacted—employers and employees within the workplace. Through a comprehensive survey encompassing the perspectives of over 5000 individuals and 2000 firms, we endeavor to unravel the intricate web of AI implementation within professional settings and, by proxy, potential policy solutions to combat the various aspects of AI. The revelations stemming from our study are telling Training emerges as an indispensable catalyst in the assimilation of AI, rendering it more effective and, notably, enhancing the perceptions of AI among the workforces. Furthermore, consultations surrounding AI integration within organizations prove to be a positive force, facilitating its harmonious coexistence with human labor. However, it is the vital nexus of communication between employers and employees that stands as the linchpin to the successful incorporation of AI into the modern workplace. Furthermore, examples of federal and regulatory policy are provided that could be used to combat concerns that will arise in accompaniment with AI. In essence, our findings implore a balanced and nuanced approach—One that empowers rather than alienates employees. Only through such an approach can we hope to foster coexistence between AI and the invaluable human workforce.
文摘The Covid-19 pandemic has brought changes in behaviour in public places. Indeed, the health and political authorities, in order to fight against the virus in a preventive manner, require the respect of barrier gestures: social distance, mask, vaccine, gel. Still in terms of public health, long waits in a place for a service have a negative impact on the health of fragile categories such as the disabled, pregnant women and the elderly. The technical devices used for queue management must now take into account the health context, identity, particularity and behaviour of people. This paper presents an electronic system developed with artificial intelligence for queue management in public facilities. This design personalises the user’s ticket by automatically integrating the name, facial image, age and possible disability status. At the counters, a system of name calling, sound and screen display, allows users to follow the queue without having a ticket printed on thermal paper with a high carbon footprint. This solution also makes illiterate users autonomous in the queue, allowing them to maintain their dignity and to respect the safety distance between people. The device allows the establishment’s manager, depending on the context, to activate positive discrimination of the disabled or the elderly, to control the Covid-19 mark or the health pass by QR Code. This queue manager performs biometric authentication by facial recognition before the user is registered in the queue register, which prevents fraud by people who do not want to respect the order of arrival of users. This work has led to the improvement of the technical management of queues by introducing more equity, inclusion, solidarity, health and ecology.

文摘Artificial intelligence(AI)technologies and sensors have recently received significant interest in intellectual agriculture.Accelerating the application of AI technologies and agriculture sensors in intellectual agriculture is urgently required for the growth of modern agriculture and will help promote smart agriculture.Automatic irrigation scheduling systems were highly required in the agricultural field due to their capability to manage and save water deficit irrigation techniques.Automatic learning systems devise an alternative to conventional irrigation management through the automatic elaboration of predictions related to the learning of an agronomist.With this motivation,this study develops a modified black widow optimization with a deep belief network-based smart irrigation system(MBWODBN-SIS)for intelligent agriculture.The MBWODBN-SIS algorithm primarily enables the Internet of Things(IoT)based sensors to collect data forwarded to the cloud server for examination purposes.Besides,the MBWODBN-SIS technique applies the deep belief network(DBN)model for different types of irrigation classification:average,high needed,highly not needed,and not needed.The MBWO algorithm is used for the hyperparameter tuning process.A wideranging experiment was conducted,and the comparison study stated the enhanced outcomes of the MBWODBN-SIS approach to other DL models with maximum accuracy of 95.73%.
文摘BACKGROUND Diabetes,a globally escalating health concern,necessitates innovative solutions for efficient detection and management.Blood glucose control is an essential aspect of managing diabetes and finding the most effective ways to control it.The latest findings suggest that a basal insulin administration rate and a single,highconcentration injection before a meal may not be sufficient to maintain healthy blood glucose levels.While the basal insulin rate treatment can stabilize blood glucose levels over the long term,it may not be enough to bring the levels below the post-meal limit after 60 min.The short-term impacts of meals can be greatly reduced by high-concentration injections,which can help stabilize blood glucose levels.Unfortunately,they cannot provide long-term stability to satisfy the postmeal or pre-meal restrictions.However,proportional-integral-derivative(PID)control with basal dose maintains the blood glucose levels within the range for a longer period.AIM To develop a closed-loop electronic system to pump required insulin into the patient's body automatically in synchronization with glucose sensor readings.METHODS The proposed system integrates a glucose sensor,decision unit,and pumping module to specifically address the pumping of insulin and enhance system effectiveness.Serving as the intelligence hub,the decision unit analyzes data from the glucose sensor to determine the optimal insulin dosage,guided by a pre-existing glucose and insulin level table.The artificial intelligence detection block processes this information,providing decision instructions to the pumping module.Equipped with communication antennas,the glucose sensor and micropump operate in a feedback loop,creating a closed-loop system that eliminates the need for manual intervention.RESULTS The incorporation of a PID controller to assess and regulate blood glucose and insulin levels in individuals with diabetes introduces a sophisticated and dynamic element to diabetes management.The simulation not only allows visualization of how the body responds to different inputs but also offers a valuable tool for predicting and testing the effects of various interventions over time.The PID controller's role in adjusting insulin dosage based on the discrepancy between desired setpoints and actual measurements showcases a proactive strategy for maintaining blood glucose levels within a healthy range.This dynamic feedback loop not only delays the onset of steady-state conditions but also effectively counteracts post-meal spikes in blood glucose.CONCLUSION The WiFi-controlled voltage controller and the PID controller simulation collectively underscore the ongoing efforts to enhance efficiency,safety,and personalized care within the realm of diabetes management.These technological advancements not only contribute to the optimization of insulin delivery systems but also have the potential to reshape our understanding of glucose and insulin dynamics,fostering a new era of precision medicine in the treatment of diabetes.
