April 30, 2023BusinessAcademic disciplines, Articles, Artificial intelligence, Audit, Corruption, Systematic review, Systemic, Systemic riskadmin

April 30, 2023 /Technology/ — AI can be used in conjunction with other methods to identify systematic and systemic activities. For example, AI can be used to analyze large amounts of data, such as employee records, financial records, and customer data. This data can be used to identify patterns and trends that may indicate systematic or systemic activities. However, it is important to note that AI is not a perfect tool. It can sometimes make mistakes, and it is important to use AI in conjunction with other methods to identify systematic and systemic activities. Continue reading →

It is a cliche that not knowing history makes one repeat it. As many people have also pointed out, the only thing we learn from history is that we rarely learn anything from history. People engage in land wars in Asia over and over. They repeat the same dating mistakes, again and again. But why does this happen? And will technology put an end to it?

Eun Young (EY) Oh, University of Portsmouth

From chatbots and virtual assistants to fraud detection and risk management, artificial intelligence (AI) is now being used in many areas of finance. But what could an AI system like ChatGPT do for your bank balance?

AI tools might seem overly complex or expensive to non-experts, but advances in natural language processing and machine learning could turn ChatGPT and similar products into virtual personal finance assistants. This would mean having an expert on hand to help you make sense of the latest financial news and data.

How to repair a damaged reputation

A reputation can be damaged by a single mistake, or after months or even years of bad behaviour. Organisations may turn a blind eye to such behaviour by employees or business leaders, and sometimes it is tacitly enabled by a toxic culture that prioritises an end game – profits or “winning” – over people or planet.

In either case, research can tell us about the drivers of reputational loss, as well as how to rebuild a reputation, and ways to avoid damaging it in the first place. But while reputations can be protected, my research shows this shouldn’t happen at all costs – there is a dark side to reputation management that can, and should, be avoided.

April 19, 2023 /Technology/ — A large language model (LLM) is a type of artificial intelligence (AI) that is trained on a massive amount of text data. This data can be anything from books and articles to social media posts and code. LLMs are able to learn the statistical relationships between words and phrases, which allows them to generate text, translate languages, write different kinds of creative content, and answer your questions in an informative way. LLMs can be used for a variety of tasks, including: Continue reading →

April 20, 2023 /Technology/ –Crowdsourcing is the process of obtaining information or services from a large group of people, typically via the internet. Crowdsourcing is a powerful tool that can be used to ensure that AI systems are accurate, unbiased, and meet the needs of the people who will be using them. There are a number of ways that organizations are using crowdsourcing to achieve these goals.

One way that organizations are using crowdsourcing is to collect data. This data can be used to train AI systems to perform tasks such as facial recognition, speech recognition, and language translation. Crowdsourcing can be used to collect a wide variety of data, including images, text, and audio. This data can be collected from a large number of people, which helps to ensure that the data is accurate and representative of the real world.
