AI

Machine Learning

Deep learning

Any technique enabling computers to mimic human behaviour

Subset of AI which uses statistical methods to enable machines to improve with experience

Subset of ML which make neural networks that can look for trends and learn on their own

1950In 1950 Turing posed the question “can machines think?”,

1973 The Lighthill report and the AI winter, progress in the field was not as fast as had been expected.

1997 Deep Blue beats the reigning worldchampion at chess

innovation park Targeting an AI industry of $150Bn

United States Primarily developing with industry academic partners US AI chip industry is forecast to be $35Bn by 2021

Germany Already a hub for AI start-ups and developers, with a commitment

from the government to compete with China AI campus being completed in Tubingen

Turner & Townsend

I have questions…

CEAI 19

Where should we spend that money in our sector?

Is there a list of the most stupid and wasteful things we do?

Is it enough of an embarrassment for us to start acting?

Does AI have the potential to impact us, moving from emergent to mainstream, and do we have anywhere near enough data?

Page 20: AI - Constructing Excellenceconstructingexcellence.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/...Turner & Townsend Why am I on about it? –AI sector deal & global CEAI 18 China Investing $7Bn in AI

Turner & Townsend

I have questions…

CEAI 22

Do we really think we are clever enough to understand all the data by ourselves?

Are we prepared for the same social backlash and ethical questions that others are facing (driverless cars, social media)?

With great power… comes great responsibility…

What should you do?

1. Listen… and don’t panic!

2. Work out where the low hanging fruit is for you, and just think about where to start.

3. Dedicate some investment into your digital initiatives NOW!

4. Look to other sectors/industries and recognise we can learn from them.

5. Start talent mining and promote growth mind-set to broaden capability

6. Have a plan for AI and make someone accountable

7. Come to terms with the idea of aiming for a moving target
