The Evolution of Artificial Intelligence Innovations in the Medical Field with Regard to their Practical and Business Applications

As stated by the Abstract, "This paper, as a whole, attempts to give an overall high-level view of the working “mechanics” of artificial intelligence-driven innovations serving practical uses in the medical field. In order to understand the market and such a system’s potential business applications, I attempt to illustrate a general history on the early algorithms that our current technology can be sourced to. From here, we examine the evolution in the technology with regards to its common uses in the field and increasingly complex methodology as processors gained more computational power. With our understanding of how the current position of such technology has come to be, we will then begin to examine more modern applications utilizing machine-learning and deep learning algorithms integrated into expert-driven systems. Once we understand the approximate current capacity of the models utilized in the medical industry, we turn to view the angle from a business perspective. In this, we examine what struggles an individual entering the market with such a technology would face and the implications that come with integrating such a model into one’s business. Following this - and considering the landscape of the market - I propose that the future of the medical field (as it’s currently being entered by technology-giants), is likely dependent upon the overall quality of their models over an extended period of time as they are - too - subject to the various biases and pitfalls that we will discuss."

Applied Intuition’s New Product Development Process in Relation to their Business Strategy and the Dynamic Modern Autonomous Vehicle Industry

As stated by the Abstract, "This paper broadly seeks to examine the position of autonomous movement software developer Applied Intuition - who is seemingly uniquely characterized by a high financial valuation, diverse IP assets, a global presence, and collaborations with a broad array of large and upcoming firms - similarly - across the world, in spite of it being a privately-held company that receives relatively minimal news coverage. Through examining the NPD Process they utilize in conjunction with their innovation-centric business model, their unique position in a budding market comes to light; leveraging their strengths to build upon determined weaknesses, this paper further seeks to provide recommendations to streamline the NPD process within a firm, expanding their overall innovation output in a resource-conscious manner. Similarly, an implementation plan and approximate timeline will be outlined as to pivot Applied Intuition into a self-sustaining technological titan in the marketplace where its relationship with external collaborative firms is emphasized. To finalize, the author of this paper will offer a reflection on its relation to and personal effects on his career and skill-set."

On The Theoretical Future of Cybersecurity and The Implications of an Increasingly Connected Society as a Result of Our Relationship with “Hacking”

As stated by the abstract, "This paper explores the evolving landscape of cybersecurity in a world driven by increasing technological integration and the societal complexities of hacking. Through a theoretical lens, it examines the vulnerabilities within interconnected systems - both current and future - emphasizing the escalating need for proactive and adaptive measures to counter cyberattacks. By analyzing the role of ethical hackers, segmented networks, and AI-driven tools, the paper highlights the inevitability of breaches and the necessity of shifting focus toward resilience and swift containment. Furthermore, it delves into the implications of hacking as both a political tool and a societal force, discussing the ethical dichotomy between malicious hackers and white-hat hackers. By addressing these key issues and exploring theoretical infrastructures like smart cities, this thought experiment illustrates the pressing need for innovative cybersecurity strategies as society grows increasingly connected."
