Using research in social cognition as a foundation, we studied rapid versus reflective mental state attributions and the degree to which machine learning classifiers can be trained to make such judgments. We observed differences in response times between conditions, but did not find significant differences in the accuracy of mental state attributions. We additionally demonstrate how to train machine classifiers to identify mental states. We discuss advantages of using an interdisciplinary approach to understand and improve human-robot interaction and to further the development of social cognition in artificial intelligence.

Nowadays society is profoundly changed by technology, velocity and productivity. While individuals are not yet prepared for holographic connection with banks or financial institutions, other innovative technologies have been adopted. Lately, a new world has been launched, personalized and adapted to reality. It has emerged and started to govern almost all daily activities due to the five key elements that are foundations of the technology: machine to machine (M2M), internet of things (IoT), big data, machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI). Competitive innovations are now on the market, helping with the connection between investors and borrowers—notably crowdfunding and peer-to-peer lending. Blockchain technology is now enjoying great popularity. Thus, a great part of the focus of this research paper is on Elrond. The outcomes highlight the relevance of technology in digital finance.

COVID-19 is imposing massive health, social and economic costs. While many developed countries have started vaccinating, most African nations are waiting for vaccine stocks to be allocated and are using clinical public health (CPH) strategies to control the pandemic. The emergence of variants of concern (VOC), unequal access to the vaccine supply and locally specific logistical and vaccine delivery parameters, add complexity to national CPH strategies and amplify the urgent need for effective CPH policies. Big data and artificial intelligence machine learning techniques and collaborations can be instrumental in an accurate, timely, locally nuanced analysis of multiple data sources to inform CPH decision-making, vaccination strategies and their staged roll-out. The Africa-Canada Artificial Intelligence and Data Innovation Consortium (ACADIC) has been established to develop and employ machine learning techniques to design CPH strategies in Africa, which requires ongoing collaboration, testing and development to maximize the equity and effectiveness of COVID-19-related CPH interventions.

Abstract Objective and Scope Analysis of operational plant data needs experts in order to interpret detected anomalies which are defined as unusual operation points. The next step on the digital transformation journey is to provide actionable insights into the data. Prescriptive Maintenance defines in advance which kind of detailed maintenance and spare parts will be required. This paper details requirements to improve these predictions for rotating equipment and show potential to integrate the outcome into an operational workflow. Methods, Procedures, Process First principle or physics-based modelling provides additional insights into the data, since the results are directly interpretable. However, such approaches are typically assumed to be expensive to build and not scalable. Identification of and focus on the relevant equipment to be modeled in a hybrid model using a combination of first principle physics and machine learning is a successful strategy. The model is trained using a machine learning approach with historic or current real plant data, to predict conditions which have not occurred before. The better the Artificial Intelligence is trained, the better the prediction will be. Results, Observations, Conclusions The general aim when operating a plant is the actual usage of operational data for process and maintenance optimization by advanced analytics. Typically a data-driven central oversight function supports operations and maintenance staff. A major lesson-learned is that the results of a rather simple statistical approach to detect anomalies fall behind the expectations and are too labor intensive. It is a widely spread misinterpretation that being able to deal with big data is sufficient to come up with good prediction quality for Prescriptive Maintenance. What big data companies are normally missing is domain knowledge, especially on plant critical rotating equipment. Without having domain knowledge the relevant input into the model will have shortcomings and hence the same will apply to its predictions. This paper gives an example of a refinery where the described hybrid model has been used. Novel and Additive Information First principle models are typically expensive to build and not scalable. This hybrid model approach, combining first principle physics based models with artificial intelligence and integration into an operational workflow shows a new way forward.

Purpose While it is evident that the introduction of machine learning and the availability of big data have revolutionized various organizational operations and processes, existing academic and practitioner research within decision process literature has mostly ignored the nuances of these influences on human decision-making. Building on existing research in this area, this paper aims to define these concepts from a decision-making perspective and elaborates on the influences of these emerging technologies on human analytical and intuitive decision-making processes. Design/methodology/approach The authors first provide a holistic understanding of important drivers of digital transformation. The authors then conceptualize the impact that analytics tools built on artificial intelligence (AI) and big data have on intuitive and analytical human decision processes in organizations. Findings The authors discuss similarities and differences between machine learning and two human decision processes, namely, analysis and intuition. While it is difficult to jump to any conclusions about the future of machine learning, human decision-makers seem to continue to monopolize the majority of intuitive decision tasks, which will help them keep the upper hand (vis-à-vis machines), at least in the near future. Research limitations/implications The work contributes to research on rational (analytical) and intuitive processes of decision-making at the individual, group and organization levels by theorizing about the way these processes are influenced by advanced AI algorithms such as machine learning. Practical implications Decisions are building blocks of organizational success. Therefore, a better understanding of the way human decision processes can be impacted by advanced technologies will prepare managers to better use these technologies and make better decisions. By clarifying the boundaries/overlaps among concepts such as AI, machine learning and big data, the authors contribute to their successful adoption by business practitioners. Social implications The work suggests that human decision-makers will not be replaced by machines if they continue to invest in what they do best: critical thinking, intuitive analysis and creative problem-solving. Originality/value The work elaborates on important drivers of digital transformation from a decision-making perspective and discusses their practical implications for managers.
