  • Companies are betting on AI to help lift productivity. Workers need to be part of the process.

    Some 80% of AI projects end up failing, twice the rate of traditional IT projects. Organizations that skip the tough part – such as staff engagement, training and good governance – often find the promised benefits never materialize.

  • Cobots enter the cleanroom workspace

    Cobots, by nature, are designed to work alongside humans, which means a higher standard on systems design to begin with. This lends itself to the clean room environment, although additional design criteria must be examined.

  • Smart food sensor sniffs out hidden bacteria, harmful chemicals in minutes

    The device is designed to detect unwanted food-borne bacteria including E. coli, listeria and salmonella and it can also detect common herbicides, such as paraquat dichloride and glyphosate, as well as chemicals like antibiotics.

  • AI predicts risk of sudden cardiac death in vulnerable patients

    The model promises to not only save lives but to also spare people from medical interventions that could potentially be unnecessary, such as the implantation of defibrillators.

  • AI test spots heart disease before symptoms emerge

    The tool, dubbed Cardisio, reportedly interprets heart activity via cloud-based AI algorithms in roughly 10 minutes.
