Hype or potential – what‘s possible, how the future will
look like
Speaker: Olaf Horstmann

4. What is Artifical Intelligence(AI) and Machine Learning(ML)
< OMM Solutions GmbH > 429.11.2017
Artificial Intelligence
Machine Learning
Deep Learning
• Computer vision
• Speech recognition
„Simple“ Rules
• „If battery low, then return to charger.“
• „right-before-left“
Reinforcement Learning
• To automatically improve a
behavior/process
• e.g. Inventory Management
Neural Networks
• Data analysis
• Statistical analysis
Knowledge Bases + Interpretation
e.g. Access to Wikipedia
Generative Adversarial
Networks
• Generation of data
• Image generation
Many more…
General Algorithms
• Path-calculation from A to B
• Calculating the stopping distance at X km/h
„Data as the objective“
• List a set of rules
• extend the list if new cases are found
„Data as the source“
• Implement a set of algorithms
• Let the machine make its own learnings
5. • Virtual Personal Assistants (Siri, Alexa & Co.)
• Music/Video recommendation
• Purchase Predictions (Amazon already knows what you will buy next)
• News Generation
• Many news-sites (like Yahoo) use AI to write news stories like financial summaries
You use them every day
“Basic” applications of AI

6. • 1989 – ALVINN the first self-driving car hits the road (max. 110km/h)
• 05/1997 – Deep Blue beats Garry Kasparov in chess (3½–2½)
• 02/2010 – Watson can beat any human player in Jeopardy
• 01/2016 – in 2015 there where about 1.98 accidents per mio. Km driven with an
autonomous vehicle - NONE of which have been caused by the self-driving car (vs. 2.6
accidents per mio. Km for human drivers)1
• 03/2016 – AlphaGo beats Lee Sedol in Go (4–1)
• 08/2017 – OpenAI creates an AI that beats champions in the computer game “Dota 2”
• 10/2017 – AlphaGo Zero beats AlphaGo (100–0) with a fraction of AlphaGo’s power

7. Which image is real, which one is “drawn” by a computer?
Can an AI generate realistic photographs?

“This bird sits close to the ground with his short yellow
tarsus and feet; his bill is long and is also yellow”
10. Image synthesis from textual input

“The small bird has a red head with feathers that fade
from red to gray from head to tail”
11. Image synthesis from textual input

“This flower has petals that are yellow with shades of
orange”

13. Orange Light
I conduct myself in a windy manner because I
am
drunk and enchanted in this field.
The oxygen around my head is rabid
and filled with orange light
like a equinoctial tiger to its flesh.
My heart moves violently
on this neon ship.
I promise as I were a rotting ghost
forced half-open in love
in front of the gray agony of the darkness
and decaying droplets of acidulous gold.

poetry/
A Conceit
Give me your hand
Make room for me
to lead and follow
you
beyond this rage of poetry.
Let others have
the privacy of
touching words
and love of loss
of love.
For me
Give me your hand.

23. • DXplain was developed in 1987 to support with a possible diagnoses for a given set of
symptoms
• IBM’s Watson
• scans billions of medical scans and images
• Identifies tumors and heart diseas
• Doctor Hazel (App) claims to predict skin cancer with more than 90% accuracy

26. Well, the AI already …
• … drives safer than you
• … knows more than you
• … can analyse images quicker than you
• … speaks more languages than you
• … draws better pictures than you
• … writes texts faster than you
• … can do a backflip without sweating
• … does not need any sleep
… you don’t need to think you’re safe!
So, how will this affect me?

27. Part 2 (in January) will be about how AI will affect you, your job and your future!
AI is not just a hype - it’s already here
