Which Industries Need AI Skills the Most?
AI is changing some industries more than others. A recent report by consulting giant PricewaterhouseCoopers suggests that demand for AI skills has accelerated in three sectors in particular: IT and communications tech, professional services and finances. AI skills requirements in 'physical industries,' meanwhile, are lagging behind as those sectors still consider their best path forward for adoption, said Scott Likens, global chief AI engineer at PwC. READ ALSO: Amazon Ups Its AI Infrastructure Ante and JPMorgan Chase Patent Tackles Synthetic Data Bias The industries where demand for AI skills is high were quickly introduced to the 'first wave' of generative AI that occurred in 2022, he said. They are 'so exposed to AI,' he said, 'just because of the nature of the work they're doing,' which includes tasks that GenAI is very good at: 'Those industries really stand out as the ones that can immediately tap into information, which immediately can provide value on the other end.' Sectors such as manufacturing, oil and gas and healthcare, meanwhile, are still trying to figure out where AI fits in, said Likens. Advancements are occurring in areas such as robotics and embodied AI, he noted, but the change 'hasn't hit the jobs yet.' AI's rapid development, meanwhile, has created a gap between the talent available on the market and what enterprises need, said Likens. Education has yet to catch up to the shift. 'It's not a well-worn technology where we've got grads and undergrads coming out of school with experience,' said Likens. 'We're still changing the university curriculums, let alone having people with 10 years of experience in this area.' So how can enterprises reckon with the skills scarcity? A combination of upskilling and talent acquisition, he said. Along with educating workforces on how to get the most out of AI deployments, organizations need to seek out the 'new thinkers' that are capable of leading those transformations. One challenge is finding people that are 'bilingual': fluent both in the language of AI and the specific industry that an enterprise is operating in, said Likens. Finding a tax accountant who's also an AI expert, for example, is harder than finding someone who's good in either area individually. 'This is not just about technologists,' said Likens. 'There's not enough of those people to fill the need.' This post first appeared on The Daily Upside.

JPMorgan Chase Patent Tackles Synthetic Data Bias
The devil is in the data when training a machine learning model. And banking giant JPMorgan Chase wants to make sure that its data stays as balanced as possible. The company is seeking to patent a system for 'generating fair synthetic representative data,' from a larger set of real data for training a machine learning model. READ ALSO: Amazon Ups Its AI Infrastructure Ante and Which Industries Need AI Skills the Most? Chase's system aims to create synthetic data that mimics real data in statistical accuracy, demographic information and 'demographic parity,' such that no group is unfairly favored in the dataset. To do this, Chase's system collects demographic information, features used in decision-making (such as income or education) and outcomes for each data point in a larger set, and uses those to make a synthetic dataset that mimics the original as closely as possible. The system then ensures demographic parity by assessing and adjusting the weights of the synthetic data. 'This proliferation of machine learning applications has highlighted the need to mitigate inherent biases in the data, as these biases can significantly impact the equity of machine learning models and their decisions,' Chase said in the filing. Compared with many financial institutions, Chase has dived headfirst into AI. The company rolled out a generative AI assistant dubbed LLM Suite last year and deployed AI in its call centers. The company claimed in recent weeks that AI could help it reduce headcount by 10% in operations and account data is the core of an AI model, a system such as the one Chase is developing helps financial institutions insulate models from bias. That's particularly important for banking tasks like loan approvals, in which bias has historically harmed certain groups of would-be borrowers. Tech like this could help the company forge ahead with its AI goals, while mitigating some of the associated risk. This post first appeared on The Daily Upside.

Snap Up This Samsung Galaxy S9 Tablet for a Massive $321 Off While You Still Can
Whether it's in addition to or in place of a laptop, today's tablets offer a lot more than a large screen to browse the internet. If you've been considering acquiring a new tablet before prices increase because of tariffs, you'd be smart to consider Amazon's discount of $321 on the Samsung Galaxy S9 Tab. This reduces it to $599. While this is not the lowest price we've seen, it's still a decent savings on a high-quality tablet. You'll need to choose the graphite model to get the best price. The $599 price is for the 256GB Samsung Galaxy S9 Tab. It features an 11-inch AMOLED screen so if you're watching movies or TV, you'll have excellent resolution. It also has a high-resolution front camera, perfect for video calls. The S Pen is even included for taking notes and precision pointing. Samsung Galaxy S9 Tab: $599 (Original price: $920) See at Amazon Technical specs include Wi-Fi 7 for fast streaming and downloads, 256GB of storage and the superfast Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip. Other perks include a slim, lightweight design and an Armor Aluminum frame designed to take on whatever life throws at it -- making the tablet a great option for travel. It also has an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance. Prices like this on Amazon can be fleeting, so we don't recommend waiting too long to pick up the Galaxy S9 Tab at this low price. If you're okay with the graphite model, you can pick up this top-tier tablet for $321 off, an excellent price, especially for 256GB of storage. But as with all things Amazon, there is no telling how long the savings will last.
