It s a safe bet that possessing skills related to artificial intelligence (AI) will present career opportunities for people today, especially in industries that are building AI capabilities into their products or looking to leverage the technology to increase automation and efficiency.
AI has become a focal point for many corporate IT departments and lines of business, and the market for products and services reflects that. A February 2021 report by consulting firm International Data Corp. (IDC) says worldwide revenues for the AI market, including software, hardware, and services, is forecast to reach $327.5 billion this year, up 16 percent from 2020.
By 2024, the market is expected to break the $500 billion mark, IDC says, with a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18 percent. AI is becoming ubiquitous across all the functional areas of business, the report says, with advancements in machine learning, conversational AI, and computer vision AI.

Here s What You Need to Remember: The U.S. military must heed the lessons learned over the past seventy-five years and accept the so-called “irregular character” of the conflicts it enters.

Last month U.S. and Ukrainian special operations forces (SOF) took part in a training exercise dubbed Fiction Urchin, which was part of a multinational exercise that involved ten allied and partner nations. It consisted of special forces operators conducting fast rope insertion and extraction systems the typical “all in a day’s work” type of exercises that we’ve come to expect from our special forces.

Robert Work during his days as deputy Defense secretary
WASHINGTON: The US has a narrow lead on China in artificial intelligence, but the Chinese are catching up fast. In fact, they’re already at least narrowly ahead in three of six critical areas, the vice-chair of the National Security Commission on AI said today.

“We do not believe China is ahead right now in AI” overall, Robert Work said, speaking at a Pentagon press conference alongside Lt. Gen. Mike Groen, the director of the Joint Artificial Intelligence Center. But, Work went on, “look, AI is not a single technology, it is a bundle of technologies” – what professionals in the field call the “AI stack.”
