Book Artificial Intelligence Raises Efficiencies

Download or read book Artificial Intelligence Raises Efficiencies written by Johnny Ch Lok and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-01-06 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book divides two part: Artificial intelligence how raises efficiencies as well as how and why it can be influenced to bring to avoid wage inequality welfare. This book part first is concerned how to apply artificial intelligent machine or robot to raise productivive efficiency in factory. I shall assume that (AI) robotic can assist labours to raise productivities and bring raising efficiency. Then it brings these both questions as below: Research question: How to apply (AI) technology to raise labor efficiencies or productivities?Research question: Why and How (AI) technology can help employers to evaluate or measure whom has higher or lower productive efficiencies in order to evaluate the more reasonable or equal wages to every worker when it applies (AI) technology to assist labours to manufacture any products?The first part is intended to explain why and how (AI) technology and raising productivity or efficiency has close relationship. First part gives some artificial intelligence technologic concepts to indicate why and how (AI) can raise labor productive efficiency to assist labor to work in factories. This book first part is suitable to any managers have interest to learn how to apply (AI) technological productive method to achieve economic benefit in factories . In this part, the main important aim, I give examples to explain how to apply (AI) technology to raise labor productive efficiencies really.This book second part to explain why and how AI can bring advantages to organizations to reduce wage more inequality when they apply AI technology to assist labor to raise efficiencies. I shall indicate Japan, China, America three countries to explain they applied (AI) technology to assist labors to productivities, then they can raise efficiencies, even avoid the wage inequality causes. For example, why and how (AI) can reduce regular/non-regular wage gap when Japanese and Chinese manufacturing firms apply (AI) technology to raises efficiency as well as causes the wage is paid more fair to their labours. Also, I shall explain why and how any country's firm will bring more efficiency and more fair wage equality when they applied (AI) technology to assist labours to produce. Finally, I write this book aims to explain how the process of (AI) technologic robots field develops to assist employees to raise productive efficiencies. I shall indicate how and why book supplier and entertainment theme park and educational service example to explain how these service industries can apply (AI) robotic machines to assist employees whether (AI) can assist raise efficiencies as well as how and why these service industries can apply (AI) to assist teachers or entertainment service staff or warehouse book printing staff to bring the raising efficiencies benefit in order to evaluate their staffs whom has higher efficiencies or lower efficiencies to evaluate the more reasonable or equal wage consequently.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How and why (AI) technology can be applied to service industry, instead of manufacturing industry? I shall explain how (AI) technology can encourage consumption behaviors when it is applied to service industry as below. I shall apply behavioral economic theory to (AI) technology to indiate how it can enourage consumption when it is applied to service industry. At the core of behavioral economics is used psychology of economics analysis to improve economics on its own terms generating theoretical insights, making better prediction of field consumption of behavioral phenomena, and suggesting better policy to any company or government decision makers. It rejects economic theories based on utility maximization, equilibrium and efficiency. It is useful because it provides economists with a theoretical framework that can be applied to almost any form of economic ( and even non-economic) behavior to predict behavioral consumption more easily to businessmen. So, behavioral economy is different to general economy concept, it applies psychological methods to attempt to predict consumption behavior.Simpifying much assumption that are not central to the economic theory to apply to psychological behavior. Other assumption simply acknowledge human limits on computational power and self-interest. These assumptions can be considered procedurally rational because human needs to solve problems that are often so complex that who can't be solved exactly by even modern computer technology. So, if businessmen apply psychological method to predict behavioral consumption to earn the more benefits or profit, it is more reasonable to compare to apply computer methods to predict consumption behavior.

We share the positivist view that the ultimate test of a theory is the accuracy of its predictions. But we also believe that better predictions are likely to result from theories with more realistic assumptions. In psychology, such as connectionist models that capture some of the essential features of neural functioning, which are based on utility maximization, yet are reaching the point where they are able to predict many judgemental and behavioral phenomena. Contrary to the positivistic view, however, businessmen ought believe that predictions of consumers' feelings ( e.g., of subjective well-being) should be an important goal to earn more profit more easily.Most of the ideas in behavioral economics are not new. When economics first became identified as a distinct field of study, psychology didn't exist as a discipline to apply to economy subject. For example, "invisible hand" and "the wealth of Nations" which belong to theory to moral sentiments, which laid out psychological principles of individual behavior that are arguably as profound as whose economic observations. Another example, such as a simple model of social utility means that one ( consumer) or person's utility was affected by another person's, such as whose family or friends' influence why to choose to buy this product or use this service in consumption market.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chapter FourThe reasons why and how AI can avoid wage inequality to the organization laboursWhat do wages buy? How work force responses to an efficiency wage, productivity, turnover. For example, given the choice of what cause the wage inequality of difference between the America and German employment policies. I would take the German goverment policy system for example because it is more social and human. Otherwise, I would take the America government policy system because American government understands capitalism of the free market. Such as German and America is one heavy industry manufacturing country, it is famous to manufacture car, steels, boat, etc. different steel manufacturing product. So, if robotics are popular to be used to manufacture any products which are needed to use steel to manufacture. Then, German and America factory labors who need to learn how to apply robotic to cooperate with them to manufacture any kinds of steel products more efficiently. So, it is simple that German and America heavy industry manufacturers can easily to evaluate whether wage determination to whom when every labor individual wage is needed to be raised, because he/she can cooperate with robotic to manufacture any kinds of steel products more efficiently. SO, the lower efficient labors won't ought be raised her/his wage easily. SO, roboic working participation will bring either raising efficiency to some factory workers when they can learn how to cooperate with robotic more easily or not raising efficiency to some factory workers when they can not learn how to cooperate with with robotic difficultlyHow robotic brings productive efficiency benefits to labors as these both view points as below:First, on the robotic working participation view point, I think, due to the nowadays technological development factor, we need more labours who need own highly qualified and skillful labours need to be motivated than in past employees who did not need own highly qualified and did not need motivated. Besides, in this regard, a preventative robotic working participation strategy is the best strategy to reduce the wage inequality, because the manager can apply robotic participation to every labor individual job in order to evaluate how much every worker actual ability owns either he/she can raise efficiency or he/she can not raise efficiency from robotic assistance . For example, these three countries, such as Japan, China and America were , it would be a different robotic working participation to every worker individual working matter strategy to avoid themselve any employees feel wage inequality habitually , due to none robotic participation with their jobs in their manufacturing processes.

Book Artificial Intelligence Raises Efficiency In Manufacturing Industry

Download or read book Artificial Intelligence Raises Efficiency In Manufacturing Industry written by Johnny Ch Lok and published by . This book was released on 2019-12-11 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technological progress is main driver of growth of GDP per capita, allowing output to increase faster than labor and capital . However, technology can increase productivity, but also decrease the number of labor hours needed to create a unit of output. So (AI) causes unequal to labor wage decreases, even reduces the number of labor to manufacture, e.g. artificial intelligence technology of automation car manufacturing industry; clothing manufacturing industry; plane manufacturing etc. high technology of artificial intelligence manufacturing method. But (AI) should be potential environment benefit, although it raises unemployment ratio. Moreover, it can rise production, due to many skilled craft were replaced by the combination of machines and lower-skilled labor. The result of (AI) technology introduction, it causes output per hour risen when inequality declined, driving up average living standards, but the labor of some high-skill workers was no longer as valuable in the market. Otherwise, if (AI) technology is continue developed to be success. Some routine intensive occupations will be loss, which focused on predictable, e.g. easily programmable tasks, such as switchboard operators, filing clerks, travel agents, and assembly line workers would be particularly replaced by new (AI) technology. However, at the same time, (AI) technology development will bring these benefits: improvement in education ( training (AI) technology scientists), due to (AI) manufacturing technology needs are raising to businesses and institutional changes, such as the reduction in unionization and raising in the minimum wage to the (AI) manufacturing technology skilled labor in factories.Because (AI) technology is not a single technology, but rather a collection of technologies that are applied to specific tasks, the effects of (AI) will be felt unevenly though the economy. It will bring some tasks will be most easily automated than others, and some jobs will be affected more than others, both negatively and positively. Finally, new jobs are likely to be directly created in areas, such as the development and supervision of (AI) as well as indirectly created in a range areas though out the economy as higher incomes lead to expanded demand.However, if (AI) technology could dominate global labor markets. If labor productivity increases, do not influence to wage increases, then the large economic gains brought about by (AI) technology could be increased wealth inequality, due to employers can reduce production cost, but workers ( labors) wages will not be increased, even will be decreased. Hence, it seems the (AI) technology will bring disadvantages to labor market to cause unemployment or reduce wages in possible, although it can reduce employer individual salary (wage) expenditure and it can raise productivity.⦁How can artificial intelligence impact global economy growth?Artificial intelligence (AI) technology is a branch of computer science that aims to create intelligent machines that work and react like humans. So, (AI) is a technology that appears to impact ( influence) human preference by learning, understanding complex contents, enhancing humans in executing both routine and non-routine tasks. In the future, (AI) technology that can be virtual personal assistant, as well as it may exist, such as robots with human-like processing capabilities

Book Artificial Intelligence Raises Efficiencies

Download or read book Artificial Intelligence Raises Efficiencies written by Johnny Ch LOK and published by . This book was released on 2019-03-30 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is psychology of consumption behavior?Psychology is the science of human behavior and mental consumption processes. In consumption process behavior, it is any consumption behaviors as well as consumer mental consumption process is consumer individual internal experiences, comparison with alternative products, products choice of the best, making decision to consume or not consume for the product. So, advertisers often persuade to influence consumers' behavior to attract them to choose to buy whose products.Why businessmen need to learn consumer psychology? Because psychology can help businessmen scientifically to evaluate common consumer beliefs and misconceptions about consumption behavior and consumption decision making mental processes. Consumption scientific psychology has four basic goals: To describe , explain, predict and change consumption behavior and consumption decision making mental process. Consumption psychological information is based on evidence, this is information based on direct observation and measurements with consumption behavior with scientific method. How are typical images of psychology? Consumption psychologists need to use scientific method to help businessmen to think what predicts who own, make a list of words would who use to describe a psychological scientist and what use to describe a psychological scientist and what images the businessmen have. However, consumption psychologists have difference ways of looking at the same problem for the businessmen, which is why there are so many sub-fields of consumption psychology. Consumption psychology's roots began in philosophy, but the focus changes to a scientific focus consumer.Behaviorism is focused on consumer buying behavior that can be measured and observable. This returned the scientific approach to consumption psychology. Consumption behaviorist's believe consumers are controlled by their environment. Consumption behaviorism focuses on consumption observable behavior. However, consumption cognitive psychology believes that consumption behaviors are preformed because of the product ideas and thoughts. The cognitive perspective focuses on such consumer decision making and choice processes, such as perception, memory and thinking to the product.For example, in judging whether a certain student ( University customer) described in a profile is, say, a psychology major or computer science major, the student decides how well the profile matches the psychology or computer science career to the student generally. So, University can read the student profile to predict whether the student will choose to study psychology subject more prefer or computer subject more prefer to predict whose computer or psychology student numbers more accurate in the year. So, such as university cause, if the university can apply (AI) technology to predict or evalute whether the student will choose which subject to study, then they can make more accurate subjects arrangement to let students to study more easily. So, (AI) can be applied to education aspect to help teacher to predict or evaluate whether whom every student ought to choose which subjects to study in order to raise every learning ability. Every teacher can cooperate with robotic to gather every student's interest or past learning performance or learning experience to evaluate whether which subjects that who ought choose to study in order to raise higher mark for every subject , even help them to choose the most right occupation to do when they choose the right subject to study. So, school can evaluate the most reasonable salary level determination to pay whom teacher when robotic participation to teachers' teaching. For example, two math teacher teach two differnt math classes. When the teacher can not teach the class students to earn higher mark or fail, although he has robo

Book Powering the Digital Economy  Opportunities and Risks of Artificial Intelligence in Finance

Download or read book Powering the Digital Economy Opportunities and Risks of Artificial Intelligence in Finance written by El Bachir Boukherouaa and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2021-10-22 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper discusses the impact of the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in the financial sector. It highlights the benefits these technologies bring in terms of financial deepening and efficiency, while raising concerns about its potential in widening the digital divide between advanced and developing economies. The paper advances the discussion on the impact of this technology by distilling and categorizing the unique risks that it could pose to the integrity and stability of the financial system, policy challenges, and potential regulatory approaches. The evolving nature of this technology and its application in finance means that the full extent of its strengths and weaknesses is yet to be fully understood. Given the risk of unexpected pitfalls, countries will need to strengthen prudential oversight.

Book The Economics of Artificial Intelligence

Download or read book The Economics of Artificial Intelligence written by Ajay Agrawal and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2024-03-05 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A timely investigation of the potential economic effects, both realized and unrealized, of artificial intelligence within the United States healthcare system. In sweeping conversations about the impact of artificial intelligence on many sectors of the economy, healthcare has received relatively little attention. Yet it seems unlikely that an industry that represents nearly one-fifth of the economy could escape the efficiency and cost-driven disruptions of AI. The Economics of Artificial Intelligence: Health Care Challenges brings together contributions from health economists, physicians, philosophers, and scholars in law, public health, and machine learning to identify the primary barriers to entry of AI in the healthcare sector. Across original papers and in wide-ranging responses, the contributors analyze barriers of four types: incentives, management, data availability, and regulation. They also suggest that AI has the potential to improve outcomes and lower costs. Understanding both the benefits of and barriers to AI adoption is essential for designing policies that will affect the evolution of the healthcare system.

Book Rewriting the Rules of the American Economy  An Agenda for Growth and Shared Prosperity

Download or read book Rewriting the Rules of the American Economy An Agenda for Growth and Shared Prosperity written by Joseph E. Stiglitz and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2015-11-02 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It’s time to rewrite the rules—to curb the runaway flow of wealth to the top one percent, to restore security and opportunity for the middle class, and to foster stronger growth rooted in broadly shared prosperity. Inequality is a choice. The United States bills itself as the land of opportunity, a place where anyone can achieve success and a better life through hard work and determination. But the facts tell a different story—the U.S. today lags behind most other developed nations in measures of inequality and economic mobility. For decades, wages have stagnated for the majority of workers while economic gains have disproportionately gone to the top one percent. Education, housing, and health care—essential ingredients for individual success—are growing ever more expensive. Deeply rooted structural discrimination continues to hold down women and people of color, and more than one-fifth of all American children now live in poverty. These trends are on track to become even worse in the future. Some economists claim that today’s bleak conditions are inevitable consequences of market outcomes, globalization, and technological progress. If we want greater equality, they argue, we have to sacrifice growth. This is simply not true. American inequality is the result of misguided structural rules that actually constrict economic growth. We have stripped away worker protections and family support systems, created a tax system that rewards short-term gains over long-term investment, offered a de facto public safety net to too-big-to-fail financial institutions, and chosen monetary and fiscal policies that promote wealth over full employment.

Book Creating a Learning Society

Download or read book Creating a Learning Society written by Joseph E. Stiglitz and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2015-10-06 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A superb new understanding of the dynamic economy as a learning society, one that goes well beyond the usual treatment of education, training, and R&D.”—Robert Kuttner, author of The Stakes: 2020 and the Survival of American Democracy Since its publication Creating a Learning Society has served as an effective tool for those who advocate government policies to advance science and technology. It shows persuasively how enormous increases in our standard of living have been the result of learning how to learn, and it explains how advanced and developing countries alike can model a new learning economy on this example. Creating a Learning Society: Reader’s Edition uses accessible language to focus on the work’s central message and policy prescriptions. As the book makes clear, creating a learning society requires good governmental policy in trade, industry, intellectual property, and other important areas. The text’s central thesis—that every policy affects learning—is critical for governments unaware of the innovative ways they can propel their economies forward. “Profound and dazzling. In their new book, Joseph E. Stiglitz and Bruce C. Greenwald study the human wish to learn and our ability to learn and so uncover the processes that relate the institutions we devise and the accompanying processes that drive the production, dissemination, and use of knowledge . . . This is social science at its best.”—Partha Dasgupta, University of Cambridge “An impressive tour de force, from the theory of the firm all the way to long-term development, guided by the focus on knowledge and learning . . . This is an ambitious book with far-reaching policy implications.”—Giovanni Dosi, director, Institute of Economics, Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna “[A] sweeping work of macroeconomic theory.”—Harvard Business Review

Book The Fourth Industrial Revolution

Download or read book The Fourth Industrial Revolution written by Klaus Schwab and published by Currency. This book was released on 2017-01-03 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World-renowned economist Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum, explains that we have an opportunity to shape the fourth industrial revolu­tion, which will fundamentally alter how we live and work. Schwab argues that this revolution is different in scale, scope and complexity from any that have come before. Characterized by a range of new technologies that are fusing the physical, digital and biological worlds, the developments are affecting all disciplines, economies, industries and governments, and even challenging ideas about what it means to be human. Artificial intelligence is already all around us, from supercomputers, drones and virtual assistants to 3D printing, DNA sequencing, smart thermostats, wear­able sensors and microchips smaller than a grain of sand. But this is just the beginning: nanomaterials 200 times stronger than steel and a million times thinner than a strand of hair and the first transplant of a 3D printed liver are already in development. Imagine “smart factories” in which global systems of manu­facturing are coordinated virtually, or implantable mobile phones made of biosynthetic materials. The fourth industrial revolution, says Schwab, is more significant, and its ramifications more profound, than in any prior period of human history. He outlines the key technologies driving this revolution and discusses the major impacts expected on government, business, civil society and individu­als. Schwab also offers bold ideas on how to harness these changes and shape a better future—one in which technology empowers people rather than replaces them; progress serves society rather than disrupts it; and in which innovators respect moral and ethical boundaries rather than cross them. We all have the opportunity to contribute to developing new frame­works that advance progress.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic marks the most significant, singular global disruption since World War II, with health, economic, political, and security implications that will ripple for years to come." -Global Trends 2040 (2021) Global Trends 2040-A More Contested World (2021), released by the US National Intelligence Council, is the latest report in its series of reports starting in 1997 about megatrends and the world's future. This report, strongly influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic, paints a bleak picture of the future and describes a contested, fragmented and turbulent world. It specifically discusses the four main trends that will shape tomorrow's world: - Demographics-by 2040, 1.4 billion people will be added mostly in Africa and South Asia. - Economics-increased government debt and concentrated economic power will escalate problems for the poor and middleclass. - Climate-a hotter world will increase water, food, and health insecurity. - Technology-the emergence of new technologies could both solve and cause problems for human life. Students of trends, policymakers, entrepreneurs, academics, journalists and anyone eager for a glimpse into the next decades, will find this report, with colored graphs, essential reading.
