If the internet was the birth of the digital revolution, then today’s artificial intelligence is its first baby steps toward maturity.
Today, A.I. researchers feed an algorithm data and painstakingly help it learn.
Now, An Artificial Intelligence Can Do Your Taxes For You
In Brief
- Watson was originally seen as mostly a breakthrough medical tool but has since been used in a much wider range of applications, including retail
- Even Geico currently uses IBM Watson, they use the AI program in 46 states to deliver a better digital experience to their customers
IBM understands the unique nature of its artificial intelligence (AI) software assistant Watson, and so they are not taking the direct consumer approach of Siri, Cortana, Alexa, or Google’s Assistant.
In partnership with H&R Block, Watson is being trained “on the language of taxes,” according to IBM’s press release announcing Watson’s new role as the world’s first AI tax preparation assistant.
Cold Plasma Can Help Treat Non-Healing Wounds and Trigger Cellular Regeneration
In Brief Research by Russian scientists has revealed the efficacy of cold plasma as a treatment for non-healing wounds. Their study conclusions could lead to much-needed relief for the millions of people suffering from chronic open wounds.
Non-healing wounds are troublesome to treat, with current methods teetering between extremely difficult and impossible, but cold plasma might be able to change all that.
Researchers have attempted to use cold atmospheric-pressure plasma — a partially ionized gas with a proportion of charged particles close to 1 percent and a temperature of 99,726°C (179,540ºF) — for medical treatment before, but never specifically for non-healing wounds. Apart from confirming the bactericidal properties of cold plasma and showing that cells and tissues have a high resistance to it, those earlier studies yielded non-conclusive results.
