    Since the beginning of the human race, decision making and rational thinking played a pivotal role for mankind to either exist and succeed or fail and become extinct. Self-awareness, cognitive thinking, creativity, and emotional magnitude allowed us to advance civilization and to take further steps toward achieving previously unreachable goals. From the invention of wheels to rockets and telegraph to satellite, all technological ventures went through many upgrades and updates. Recently, increasing computer CPU power and memory capacity contributed to smarter and faster computing appliances that, in turn, have accelerated the integration into and use of artificial intelligence (AI) in organizational processes and everyday life. Artificial intelligence can now be found in a wide range of organizational systems including healthcare and medical diagnosis, automated stock trading, robotic production, telecommunications, space explorations, and homeland security. Self-driving cars and drones are just the latest extensions of AI. This thrust of AI into organizations and daily life rests on the AI community’s unstated assumption of its ability to completely replicate human learning and intelligence in AI. Unfortunately, even today the AI community is not close to completely coding and emulating human intelligence into machines. Despite the revolution of digital and technology in the applications level, there has been little to no research in addressing the question of decision making governance in human-intelligent and machine-intelligent (HI-MI) systems. There also exists no foundational, core reference, or domain ontologies for HI-MI decision governance systems. Further, in absence of an expert reference base or body of knowledge (BoK) integrated with an ontological framework, decision makers must rely on best practices or standards that differ from organization to organization and government to government, contributing to systems failure in complex mission critical situations. It is still debatable whether and when human or machine decision capacity should govern or when a joint human-intelligence and machine-intelligence (HI-MI) decision capacity is required in any given decision situation. To address this deficiency, this research establishes a formal, top level foundational ontology of HI-MI decision governance in parallel with a grounded theory based body of knowledge which forms the theoretical foundation of a systemic HI-MI decision governance framework

    Can the g Factor Play a Role in Artificial General Intelligence Research?

    In recent years, a trend in AI research has started to pursue human-level, general artificial intelli-gence (AGI). Although the AGI framework is characterised by different viewpoints on what intelligence is and how to implement it in artificial systems, it conceptualises intelligence as flexible, general-purposed, and capable of self-adapting to different contexts and tasks. Two important ques-tions remain open: a) should AGI projects simu-late the biological, neural, and cognitive mecha-nisms realising the human intelligent behaviour? and b) what is the relationship, if any, between the concept of general intelligence adopted by AGI and that adopted by psychometricians, i.e., the g factor? In this paper, we address these ques-tions and invite researchers in AI to open a dis-cussion on the theoretical conceptions and practi-cal purposes of the AGI approach

    Leveraging Artificial Intelligence to Improve Provider Documentation in Patient Medical Records

    Clinical documentation is at the center of a patient\u27s medical record; this record contains all the information applicable to the care a patient receives in the hospital. The practice problem addressed in this project was the lack of clear, consistent, accurate, and complete patient medical records in a pediatric hospital. Although the occurrence of incomplete medical records has been a known issue for the project hospital, the issue was further intensified following the implementation of the 10th revision of International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) standard for documentation, which resulted in gaps in provider documentation that needed to be filled. Based on this, the researcher recommended a quality improvement project and worked with a multidisciplinary team from the hospital to develop an evidence-based documentation guideline that incorporated ICD-10 standard for documenting pediatric diagnoses. Using data generated from the guideline, an artificial intelligence (AI) was developed in the form of best practice advisory alerts to engage providers at the point of documentation as well as augment provider efforts. Rosswurm and Larrabee\u27s conceptual framework and Kotter\u27s 8-step change model was used to develop the guideline and design the project. A descriptive data analysis using sample T-test significance indicated that financial reimbursement decreased by 25%, while case denials increased by 28% after ICD-10 implementation. This project promotes positive social change by improving safety, quality, and accountability at the project hospital

     Inventory is one of the vital components of current assets. Excess holdings of inventory may increase cost as well as wastage. As such, effective and efficient management of inventory is an integral part of supply chain. Especially, in the field of management of pharmaceutical products and medicine it bears more importance. Improper use of pharmaceutical products or shortage of medicine would not only cause financial loss but also may affect the patients adversely. Rather than using the traditional techniques of managing inventory use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) can make the process more effective and efficient. AI is the application of computer program that demonstrates action like a human being, learns from experience, gets new input and processes big data by reasoning. It can acquire large amount of data and create rules for turning the data into actionable information. This study has been conducted based mainly on secondary sources of data. It is a qualitative study that gives a conceptual idea regarding how the functions of AI can support managing inventory of medicine in pharmaceutical industry

    Exploring Generative AI in Planning: A Scenario-Building Simulation for the Master Plan of Bari, Italy

    Get PDF
    When dealing urban and regional planning, communities seek methodological approaches to deliver effective development strategies. Building up future scenarios is nowadays understood as an approach that involves expert and non-expert agents towards the organization of alternative future strategies. The so-called future-workshop approach has been followed in much research and experimentation in the past, both in real communities and in simulated situations. The present research will develop further experimentation to explore some perspectives of involving artificial intelligence agents. For this purpose, a search engine equipped with OpenAI's ChatGPT will be used to simulate future scenarios for the master plan of Bari, Italy. The involvement of generative AI will basically take place following the model of a structured interview with different stakeholders. They will be simulated by artificial intelligence to define a multi-agent knowledge base towards the construction of future scenarios for the Bari master plan

    Inverse Reinforcement Learning through Policy Gradient Minimization

    Get PDF
    Inverse Reinforcement Learning (IRL) deals with the problem of recovering the reward function optimized by an expert given a set of demonstrations of the expert's policy.Most IRL algorithms need to repeatedly compute the optimal policy for different reward functions.This paper proposes a new IRL approach that allows to recover the reward function without the need of solving any "direct" RL problem.The idea is to find the reward function that minimizes the gradient of a parameterized representation of the expert's policy.In particular, when the reward function can be represented as a linear combination of some basis functions, we will show that the aforementioned optimization problem can be efficiently solved.We present an empirical evaluation of the proposed approach on a multidimensional version of the Linear-Quadratic Regulator (LQR) both in the case where the parameters of the expert's policy are known and in the (more realistic) case where the parameters of the expert's policy need to be inferred from the expert's demonstrations.Finally, the algorithm is compared against the state-of-the-art on the mountain car domain, where the expert's policy is unknown
