The first ever insurance reimbursement for an artificial intelligence (AI) system, which expedites triage of acute stroke, occurred in 2020 when the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) granted approval for a New Technology Add-on Payment (NTAP). Key aspects of the AI system that led to its approval by the CMS included its unique mechanism of action, use of robotic process automation, and clear linkage of the system’s output to clinical outcomes. The specific strategies employed encompass a first-case scenario of proving reimbursable value for improved stroke outcomes using AI. Given the rapid change in utilization of AI technology in stroke care, we describe the economic drivers of stroke AI systems in healthcare, focusing on concepts of reimbursement for value added by AI to the stroke care system. This report reviews (1) the successful approach used by the first NTAP-approved AI system, (2) economic variables in insurance reimbursement for AI, and (3) resultant strategies that may be utilized to facilitate qualification for NTAP reimbursement, which may be adopted by other AI systems used in stroke care.

AbstractArtificial intelligence technology has advanced rapidly in recent years and has the potential to improve healthcare outcomes. However, technology uptake will be largely driven by clinicians, and there is a paucity of data regarding the attitude that clinicians have to this new technology. In June–August 2019 we conducted an online survey of fellows and trainees of three specialty colleges (ophthalmology, radiology/radiation oncology, dermatology) in Australia and New Zealand on artificial intelligence. There were 632 complete responses (n = 305, 230, and 97, respectively), equating to a response rate of 20.4%, 5.1%, and 13.2% for the above colleges, respectively. The majority (n = 449, 71.0%) believed artificial intelligence would improve their field of medicine, and that medical workforce needs would be impacted by the technology within the next decade (n = 542, 85.8%). Improved disease screening and streamlining of monotonous tasks were identified as key benefits of artificial intelligence. The divestment of healthcare to technology companies and medical liability implications were the greatest concerns. Education was identified as a priority to prepare clinicians for the implementation of artificial intelligence in healthcare. This survey highlights parallels between the perceptions of different clinician groups in Australia and New Zealand about artificial intelligence in medicine. Artificial intelligence was recognized as valuable technology that will have wide-ranging impacts on healthcare.

Research background: Artificial intelligence is a term that is now known to almost everyone and is among the trends and innovations of Industry 4.0 for 2020. It is a much-discussed topic in the field of technology. Artificial intelligence and machine training are the driving forces across different industries. In many cases, artificial intelligence helps people in their work and simplifies it or even completely replaces the human workforce. Purpose of the article: The purpose of the article is to state how artificial intelligence can affect and solve existing problems in last mile delivery. For example, inefficiency is a major problem with last mile delivery because the last section of delivery usually involves a number of short-distance stops. However, a long waiting time for the customer to deliver the goods or incorrect allocation of resources and vehicles to the required areas can also be a problem. And it is artificial intelligence that should help solve such problems. Methods: Comparison, Empirical and retrospective analysis are used within the analysis of different modes of last-mile delivery. Findings & Value added: The research results shows the ways in which artificial intelligence can help solve problems in last mile delivery. Examples include The Vehicle Routing optimization (VRO), which aims to calculate the most optimal delivery route or artificial intelligence technology, which is used to interpret various events, manage data, and apply predictive intelligence.

Artificial intelligence is profoundly changing the way in which companies compete and do business. In particular, artificial intelligence can represent a very interesting opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises, which are constantly looking for new technologies to be able to remain competitive in a turbulent market. However, research exploring how SMEs may successfully adopt artificial intelligence technology are missing. To address this gap, the authors reviewed the literature on artificial intelligence and identified four key features that SMEs need to consider when implementing this technology represented by people, processes, products, and customers. After that they described four cases of Italian SMEs which have adopted successfully this new technology taking into account one of the four dimensions. The study contributes to the literature on artificial intelligence and SMEs and may be helpful for managers who want to adopt this technology within their company.

With the development of economic globalization, the competition between companies is increasing and becoming a norm. As one of the main value-added tools, financial management has greatly improved its position in business management. Traditional financial management is difficult to keep up with the pace of modern company management, which to a large extent hinders the effective development of enterprises. Therefore, under the current macroeconomic background, the necessity of studying financial management innovation has become more urgent. In this context, seeking innovation is not only a problem for enterprises, but also an important strategic goal of economic development and the concept of national modern enterprise development. Many studies have been carried out in the field of technological innovation, and few have focused on innovation in financial management. Exploratory research on the factors that affect the choice of financial management mode and route planning is important both in reality and in theory. It can help enterprises to gain greater competitive advantage through innovative financial management and improve their operating efficiency and production quality. This paper is based on learning. A research on the innovation of enterprise financial management is carried out on machine and artificial intelligence technology.

With the rapid development of China’s economy and the rapid increase in the number of Chinese learners in recent years, Chinese fever has become a common phenomenon in the global language exchange system. However, in the absence of foreign Chinese teachers at present, the development of Chinese new technology, this document uses the new computer technology to establish a Chinese teaching platform. The system is based on speech recognition technology to help foreigners learn spoken language, manuscript recognition technology and Chinese letters. foreign students in artificial intelligence technology, simulation of Chinese foreign education and training. The establishment of this system will not only help foreign students to solve the problem of Chinese learning successfully, but also make important contributions to the learning of Chinese students. Some new technologies, such as speech recognition, will be recognized by more and more Chinese students with the development of new technologies and the renewal of the system, and will make the greatest contribution to the promotion of Chinese culture.

today, the development of the artificial intelligence system determines a number of processes of an international nature. Earlier technological developments formed the internal technological potential of the country and did not go beyond the framework of the national state, but today artificial intelligence forms a spectrum of trends on the world stage. This article analyzes the impact of artificial intelligence on international relations, examined the possible risks and threats that countries may face as a result of the generation of artificial intelligence technology. The objective of the study is to investigate the possible prospects for the development of artificial intelligence systems, as well as the impact of the application of artificial intelligence technology on the world stage. It was found that the upcoming era of robotics entails, along with military and economic risks, radical changes in the field of global political governance. First of all, this is due to the fact that the possession of artificial intelligence technologies will finally bridge the gap between developed countries and the third world, and also make it insurmountable. In conclusion, the author proposed measures to minimize threats to the use of artificial intelligence technology on the world stage.
