School of Computing: ITC571 AI Research Seminar Presentation

This presentation, prepared for the ITC571 Emerging Technologies & Innovation Research Seminar, explores the multifaceted aspects of Artificial Intelligence (AI). It begins with an introduction to AI, highlighting its role in creating intelligent machines that mimic human behavior, solve problems, and facilitate learning. The presentation then delves into the integration of AI in various sectors, including medical tracking programs and marketing, emphasizing its potential to enhance decision-making processes and drive productivity. The research methodology involved surveying organizations to identify the tools they use in project planning and execution. The findings reveal the use of tools like PERT and Gantt charts. The presentation also reviews the literature, discussing AI's impact on employment and decision-making. It also addresses the advantages of AI, such as its boost to the marketing sector, and its disadvantages, like potential job displacement and control concerns. The conclusion underscores the importance of AI in enabling machines to function like humans, facilitating knowledge enhancement, and improving project planning and execution. Finally, the presentation reflects on the lessons learned, emphasizing the benefits of adopting AI in organizations for improved efficiency and decision-making. The presentation includes references in APA format.

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

School of Computing & Mathematics
Introduction
•Artificial intelligence involves creation of an intelligent
machine that works and reacts like humans
•AI machines ease learning, solve problems and recognize
speech
•Research questions will be:
Which computation methods are run by AI
Would AI run activities for scientific purposes

School of Computing & Mathematics
Continuation
• Artificial intelligence emphasizes on the creation of an
intelligent machine that works and reacts like humans.
• Successively, computers can act and react like human
beings. Their reaction is, however, based on the
availability of full information keyed into them.

Artificial intelligence integration
• Artificial intelligence is helpful to the integration of the latest
medical tracking programs to result in excellent results.
• It helps human beings to expand their thinking and consider
more complex challenges to be solvable.

School of Computing & Mathematics
• Research methodology will be; visiting 30
organisations as well as using questionnaires to
find out the tool the organizations uses in
projection planning and execution.
• Technologies require a certain amount of time to
develop a comprehensive system that can be
used in the future.

Literature Review
•Machine can replace human labor and still
perform to their best (Newhard, 2018)
•AI boosts the marketing sector (Faggella, 2018)
•AI makes decision making easier
•AI is a threat to many countries like Beijing
•Loss of employment associated with AI
•Some project execution tools require software
(Martinelli & Milosevic, 2016).

Artificial intelligence in decision-making
• Decision making is choosing the best alternative
from a set of possible outcomes.
• In this case, a decision making machine is the one
that has been programmed to identify the problem,
analyze the situation and recommend the best
action.

School of Computing & Mathematics
Technological development
• Technology enacts productivity in organizations.
However, organizations should profoundly
choose sectors that require AI to ensure its
success during its implementation.
• Determining sectors to utilize with artificial
intelligence is qualitatively muddled.

School of Computing & Mathematics
Advantages of artificial intelligence
• Artificial intelligence is advantageous to the
economy because it acts as a significant boost to
the marketing sector.
• The future of robots in the marketing sector of
the economy, therefore, is brighter as more
technology will be applied instead of people.

School of Computing & Mathematics
Continuation
• Artificial intelligence is helpful to the integration of
the latest medical tracking programs to result in
excellent results.
• Artificial intelligence helps human beings to
expand their thinking and consider more complex
challenges to be solvable.

School of Computing & Mathematics
Disadvantages of Artificial intelligence
• On the contrary, artificial intelligence may not be
that beneficial, and hence there are some of the
challenges or rather disadvantages associated
with it.
• Artificial intelligence is disadvantageous because
it poses a threat to many countries such as Beijing
whereby the nation may end up being controlled
by robots

School of Computing & Mathematics
Continuation
• Artificial intelligence has replaced so many workstations in
most commercial banks and done away with the human labor.
• It is difficult to identify the amount of AI that each sector
requires, for example, determination of AI for entire
businesses like Rocket fuel, companies like Yahoo or IBM is
challenging.
