Let's put #AI in perspective and consider how long it will take for AI to Exceed Human Performance - expert predictions vary widely & yet the impact within 10 to 25 years (our lifetime for sure) ar... | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it

The experts predict that AI will outperform humans in the next 10 years in tasks such as translating languages (by 2024), writing high school essays (by 2026), and driving trucks (by 2027).
But many other tasks will take much longer for machines to master. AI won’t be better than humans at working in retail until 2031, able to write a bestselling book until 2049, or capable of working as a surgeon until 2053.

Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY IT MATTERS: we hear too much about AI with many experts fighting hard to make the difference between AI, machine learning and deep learning. My summary is that AI is a long way in the future but that machine learning impacts will be well within my lifetime - 10 to 25 years from now. This is what I prepare my customers for in my strategic plans.

Phoenix will no longer be Phoenix if Waymo’s driverless-car experiment succeeds

Phoenix will no longer be Phoenix if Waymo’s driverless-car experiment succeeds | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it

Experimental Design imagines another scenario: neighborhoods eliminate the growing stream of delivery vehicles by organizing central locations or deploying a kind of package delivery van that comes around once or twice a day like an ice-cream truck. Neighbors might gather around the day’s influx of retail goods and exchange news, transforming the hermetic life behind closed garage doors into a more open and collaborative kind of community.

Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY IT MATTERS: the impact of self-driving cars for cities that were designed and built around cars remains unknown. Phoenix being one of them where Google waymo self-driving taxis is being tested at scale today. This article explores the possible impacts and they are fascinating, going well beyond transportation.

Robomart is the latest startup to try and unseat the local convenience store

Robomart is the latest startup to try and unseat the local convenience store | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it

Now there’s Robomart, which wants to bring the groceries, baked goods and prepared foods of the supermarket aisle to your doorstep with a white-labeled service for wholesalers and big box retailers.

Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY IT MATTERS: retailers beware. Or maybe not. I've seen trucks come to parking lots of warehouses where I worked summer jobs for years - they also cover garage and other locations where there are workers but no time or no convenience store close by. This robomart may replace those and expand to convenience store after...
