Primary Care Provider Forward Closes Its Doors

Few innovations throughout history have progressed as fast as generative artificial intelligence (AI) has. And with the news Tuesday (April 16) that Intel, working with several other industry partners, is collaborating on a Sandbox Project called the Open Platform for Enterprise AI (OPEA) that aims to accelerate secure, cost-effective GenAI deployments for businesses, putting AI into action is increasingly top of mind for enterprises. Per the release announcing OPEA, Intel noted that AI is “currently in a state of kinetic innovation, a byproduct of which is fragmentation of techniques and tools. This fragmentation is a barrier to enterprise adoption of GenAI and the immense value it brings to a business. Developers tasked with realizing this value are faced with a dizzying number of choices when it comes to incorporating GenAI.”

Intel And Partners Want To Solve Enterprise Ai’S Interoperability Problem

For businesses at the forefront of their industries, artificial intelligence (AI) has become unavoidable. An unavoidable certainty, that is. That’s why, for the past five months, PYMNTS has been sitting down with different AI experts, innovators and entrepreneurs each week to get their thoughts on the technology’s impact across the pillars of the Connected Economy — as well as what they see on the horizon as the innovation further permeates, and successively transforms, both payments and commerce

5 Trends These Ai Experts Think Could Change Payments And Commerce

Innovations within the healthcare sector can save lives, as well as time and money. That’s because the sector is primed for the transformative applications of the latest technologies, from connected wearable devices to generative artificial intelligence (AI). From lowering the cost of care delivery to eliminating provider friction, optimizing insurance segmentations, and even streamlining the fragmented healthcare payments ecosystem, the breadth and depth of opportunity areas for integrating next-generation technologies across healthcare cannot be overstated

How Ai And Wearable Data Could Drive Better, Cheaper Health Outcomes

In October of 1950, British mathematician Alan Turing created what he called the Imitation Game. Turing’s journal article, first published in the Mind quarterly review of psychology and philosophy, would later become known as the “Turing Test” — a widely popularized  test of a machine’s ability to exhibit intelligent behavior equivalent to, or indistinguishable from, that of a human. Ever since then, the concept of an artificial intelligence (AI) system whose intelligence surpasses our own has captured the public imagination. And now, tech companies such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Alphabet, Microsoft and others have publicly stated that they are trying to build such a system

Demystifying Ai: Why Anthropomorphizing Ai’S Impact Will Get Businesses Nowhere

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) ushered in a transformative phase shift this past year. And that phase shift — akin to the commercialization of the internet — has kicked off an AI arms race among the biggest tech companies as well as the most well-funded and ambitious startups in the space. As we head into 2024, the AI arms race has an emergent new weapon: intelligent hardware devices engineered and built for the generative AI era

Ai As Os Will Transform The Future Of Connected Devices

The intersection of healthcare and artificial intelligence (AI) was one of 2023’s most exciting storylines. Across sector-critical areas including medical imaging and pathology, telemedicine, personalized patient engagement, new drug discovery, remote monitoring, administrative tasks and EHR (electronic health record) data entry, even clinical decisioning and beyond, innovative software tools stepped in to show that improving healthcare and medicine are among the most promising use cases for generative AI. That’s because healthcare is a giant sector with many segments — meaning there exist different roles AI can play across the ecosystem that each come weighted with different risks and different opportunities

2023 In Review: The Transformative Intersections Of Ai And Healthcare

From diagnostics to care delivery, artificial intelligence (AI) would appear to be tailor-made for healthcare. And in fact, it’s already had a substantial impact on the industry — just not the one we’d imagine, or hope for. “AI has been revolutionizing medicine over the last few decades. The problem is that it hasn’t been doing it in the ways that we care about,” Adrian Aoun, CEO at Forward, tells PYMNTS for the new series “The AI Effect.”

Healthcare’S Iphone Moment: Why Scaling Ai-Powered Care Requires A Unified Os

Forward Health, which launched its AI-driven medical concierge service in 2017, announced it will soon bring doctor-built CarePods - stand-alone medical diagnostic rooms - to major cities like San Francisco, New York and Chicago.
