INTROCTION:
What is Machine Learning?
The term "machine learning" might not mean much to us . We might imagine a computer
playing chess, calculating the multitude of moves and the possible counter moves Machine
learning is one element of AI, whereby a computer is programmed with the ability to self-
teach and improve its performance of a specific task. In essence, machine learning is all about
analysing big data -- the automatic extraction of information and using it to make predictions,
decipher whether the prediction was correct, and if incorrect, learning from that to make a
more correct prediction in the future.
But, the truth of artificial intelligence and particularly machine learning is far less sinister,
and it's actually not something of the far-off future. It's here today, and it's shaping and
simplifying the way we live, work, travel and communicate.
In fact, it's shaping our everyday lives and the decisions we make.
Why machine learning is important to society
Machine learning is not an alien term anymore. One of the biggest boons that technology has
given the world today is that of the machine learning techniques. Right from reducing human
interactions to reducing the number of time/efforts consumed in doing a certain job, the list of
machine learning benefits is never-ending. The fact that machine learning has not just made
our lives easy, but also changed our way of being in many ways cannot be denied.
How machine learning is impacting lives?
The machines of the current era are nothing like what existed a few decades ago. These
machines are smart and trained on massive datasets, thereby minimizing the chances of
errors. With technological advancements, the amount of data released every day through
every possible medium is more than sufficient to build great use cases for analysis. For
instance, if you pick any general machine learning tutorial, the first thing they teach you
today is about the availability of the data and its management.
The machine learning algorithms these days are highly advanced. Although most of these
work on specific data models, the advantage with machine learning is that as soon as the
models get exposed to new patterns present in the data, these algorithms smoothly adapt to it
and simplify things for the users.
Self-driving cars
Most of the people call self-driving cars are an overhyped aspect of machine learning but the
fact is that is the future. Period! This is a blessing for all those people who don’t like to drive
or cannot drive due to medical or physical issues. Moreover, drink and drives would reduce,
rash driving would too! The kind of impact this would have in the future would be to watch
for!
2. Interviewing
Video-based interviewing analysed by ML can help determine an interviewee’s mood,
whether the candidate is telling the truth, and more. The early stages of interviewing can
become much easier with the use of ML-driven chatbots on business site to offer applicants
onboarding. So, the way it works is interview is recorded and is given to the neural network
for analysing it by criteria like muscular contractions and voice tone. For example, if a
candidate scowls during the description of his previous job, it can be a sign of negativity. The
voice tone can show how a candidate’s enthusiasm or indifference in a job spot or
responsibilities .Machine learning doesn’t care about a candidate’s sex or age, it doesn’t
judge or criticize, doesn’t have a bad day. It’s completely unbiased.
3. Onboarding
Machine learning in the shape of a virtual assistant can take over the routine tasks of
employee onboarding.
4. Feedback
Machine learning provides HR staff with mobile-friendly tools which can gather and share
immediate feedback. Applying machine learning to identify themes and recurring issues in
employee surveys can help to improve the quality of feedback. Which in turn help to improve
employee performance.
5. Accurate predictions
Machine learning plays the role of a forecaster that can predict key developments . such as
attrition, success in a job position and even such unpleasant things as unethical behaviour.
Let’s break down an example of promoting a candidate. An employee success odd depends
on past data like previous performance, knowledge and skills, initiatives to improve. The
prediction is based on the analysis of the described data. Results can be converted to analytics
and then decisions can be made.
6. Attrition detection
A big part of the HR department is to figure out the people’s reasons for staying at or leaving
job positions. Identifying particular risk parameters based on an employee’s survey grade
point is hard and almost impossible to do precisely for a human being. Machine learning can
work with a vast amount of data and connect the needed dots instantly. JPMorgan is a
financial institution that uses machine learning algorithms to determine a person’s behaviour.
7. Reducing bias in appraisals and career progression
One of the many challenges for supervisors during performance reviews is to remain
impartial. ML can evaluate performance data without any personal bias for the candidate. The
tools can remove human prejudices, building a more equitable, diverse, and unbiased
workplace.
8. Performance development
ML can map employees’ career paths and set them up for career progression, providing
guidance on the opportunities and actions others in similar positions may have taken to
progress within the organization. ML can support employees with customized training and
learning recommendations, based on what other candidates have undertaken to be successful
information that a supervisor may not always provide. With ML, organizations can
democratize learning and development initiatives for each employee at appropriate timelines.
ML can also examine past performance trends of individuals, teams, or departments, allowing
steps to be taken to improve future outcomes.
Role of Artificial Intelligence in Chinese Social Credit Rating System.
It is a points system which gives citizens a score out of 800-900. Your score can affect
everything from your finances to your travel and your friends and family. The wrong words
and moves can affect anyone you know.
Under tight biometric surveillance, and using 200 million surveillance cameras, every move,
from shopping to personal relationships can be monitored using AI. Every observed action
can affect a social credit score in real time. You could go out one day with a score of 900, and
if you have a few negative encounters with anything or anyone, your score could be shot to
pieces by the time you return home. The EU Chamber and Sinolytics report summarizes the
tasks as the following:
Beijing-based Taiji Computer is leading the consortium, and has the most
responsibility for integrating various data sources into one platform.
Huawei provides server and cloud infrastructure.
Alibaba’s cloud and privately run Sesame Credit rating system is helping with
analysing the ratings and records of companies.
Tencent is also involved with that analysis work.
Beijing-based video equipment company Vision Vera provides its video
surveillance data.
