The difference between confidence and arrogance is whether or not you can walk the walk. Confidence is a highly desirable quality for managers because it’s married to another prized quality – decisiveness. And as a leader, you won’t be very persuasive unless you make decisions with conviction. In the world of investing, we say people […]
About four years ago, we first came across the concept of robotic process automation (RPA), which originally sounded to us like some marketing hack had repackaged software automation around the hype in artificial intelligence. A couple of years later, the RPA market suddenly exploded. Gartner estimated revenue grew by 63.1% in 2018 to $846 million, […]
“As soon as it works, nobody calls it AI anymore.” Those were the words of John McCarthy, a computer scientist who is considered one of the founding fathers of artificial intelligence. It makes you wonder when artificial intelligence (AI) will stop being a disruptive technology and just become something everyone uses to do things more […]
The most interesting reading we’ve come across in a while are several articles written by a fellow named Tim Urban. “The AI Revolution” he calls it. The last sentence of this amazing piece of work simply says, “so, let’s talk about it.” So, that’s what we’re going to do. For those of you who don’t […]
They say that a parent who claims to love all of her children equally is either a liar or doesn’t know her rug rats very well. While we can truthfully say we’re equally annoyed by all kids, we can relate to the above sentiment when it comes to some stocks. In other words, we have […]
Invented by the Chinese more than 2,500 years ago, Go is thought to be the oldest board game ever played. There are vastly more possible Go games than there are subatomic particles in the known universe. In the beautiful documentary AlphaGo, we see the country of Korea captivated by an artificial intelligence (AI) program playing […]
In the dot com era of the late 90s, demand for talent became so fierce that just about anyone could get hired in tech. It wasn’t uncommon in those days for some of your team members to be on work release. Any felon who could fog a mirror was capable of doing software testing by […]
When you’ve been writing about technology for as long as we have at Nanalyze you start to see patterns emerge. One of the most interesting – and potentially biggest game-changers in the life sciences arena – is the emergence of precision medicine. The approach takes into account individual variability in genes, among other factors, to […]
It’s pretty much impossible to get away from all of the buzzwords that have glommed onto the marketing end of artificial intelligence. One of our favorites is ambient intelligence. The concept is pretty straightforward: Drawing on the nearly infinite data streams that flow from both the internet and a sensor-rich environment, AI will come to […]
If the definition of insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results, then the same can be said for investors who repeatedly invest in stocks that have more red flags than a Chinese military parade. The biggest giveaway is the gaggle of prophets that come around letting you know what great opportunity […]
