Today in AI - December 27, 2024 by The Artificial Intelligence Podcast
Join Will Hu, CTO of Flagler Health, as he discusses the evolution of AI in healthcare to today's advanced AI-powered services that can handle everything from appointment scheduling to clinical diagnostics. Hu emphasizes that while previous decades focused on point solutions, current healthcare AI is shifting toward comprehensive service-oriented approaches that integrate with existing workflows, though he notes that policy changes around payment models and reimbursement are crucial for wider AI adoption. Looking to the future, Hu is excited about the potential of combining ambient clinical data capture with patient interactions outside the clinic to create truly holistic care, while maintaining that AI will augment rather than replace healthcare workers, creating more jobs in the field.
Neuro AI - Advancements in Business Solutions
Join Babak Hodjat, CTO of AI at Cognizant, as he discusses Neuro AI, their flagship AI platform that uses multi-agent systems to create decision-making workflows where AI agents can communicate with each other to solve complex business problems. Babak demonstrates how Neuro AI works through various examples, including an intranet search system where agents collaborate to answer queries and a podcast analytics tool that helps optimize listener engagement, feedback quality, and production costs. The platform can be deployed on-premises for companies dealing with sensitive data, and Cognizant is positioning itself as a pioneer in commercial multi-agent systems for business solutions.

The Future of AI in Edge Computing and IoT
Join Adam Burns, VP at Intel, as he explores the future of AI and its integration into edge computing and IoT. Adam shares insights into Intel’s efforts to scale AI applications across various hardware platforms using tools like OpenVINO. He discusses the shift from narrow, rules-based algorithms to broader, AI-driven solutions that enhance efficiency and accessibility. Adam also highlights Intel's focus on developing low-power neural processing units (NPUs) for optimal AI performance on diverse devices.
The Evolution of AI-Powered Coding with Codeium
Join Varun Mohan, CEO of Codeium, as he discusses the evolution of his company from a GPU virtualization startup to a leading AI-powered coding assistant. He explains how Codeium differentiates itself by training its own models, leveraging context from entire codebases, and focusing on improving the entire software development lifecycle beyond just code writing. Mohan also shares his views on the future of coding assistants, predicting an increase in AI-generated code and a profound change in the IDE experience, while emphasizing that these tools will likely create more developer jobs rather than replace them.
Data Protection and Polyanonymization with Anonomatic
Join Matt Fleck, CEO, and Neil Heller, COO, of Anonomatic as we discuss data protection by separating business data from identifying information, a method they call polyanonymization. They emphasize that traditional data protection methods like encryption and firewalls are insufficient against modern threats, especially with the advent of quantum computing and generative AI. Their flagship product, PII Vault, enables organizations to keep data secure by removing personal identifiers, making it useless if stolen, thus balancing security with the need for data utility.
