    The natural, artificial, and social domains of intelligence: a triune approach

    Get PDF
    A “triune approach” to the three main domains of intelligence is advocated. It would be the most cogent way to understand the uses and impact of artificial intelligence in its intrinsic relation with human nature and social structures. The enormous technological success of artificial intelligence and the widespread social applications, impinging both in individual lives and in multiple economic and social structures, are making necessary a reflection on the wider dynamics of intelligence, interconnecting the artificial information pathways with the natural information flows and the social structural substrates. As a telling instance, the traditional poor understanding and management of “social emotions” is dangerously amplified in today’s social networks, contributing to unrest, polarization, and widespread desocialization processes. In contemporary societies, the essential link between intelligence and life has to be plainly revealed as a counterpoint to the link between artificial intelligence and computation

    Pursose: The ongoing Corona virus (COVID 19) pandemic has already impacted almost everyone across the globe. The focus has now shifted from spread of the disease to the economic consequences it will bring to the society. The shortage of production will result into the shortage of supply and consequently will end as loss of jobs and employment for millions of people around the world. Two of the most important section of our society i.e., daily wage laborers and Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) will have to bear the major burnt of this crisis. The proposed integrated Artificial Intelligence and NLP based Islamic FinTech Model combining Zakat (Islamic tax) and Qardh-Al-Hasan (benevolent loan) can help the economy to minimize the adverse impact of COVID 19 on individuals and SMEs. Design/Methodology/Approach: The present study explores the possibility of Zakat and Qardh-Al-Hasan as a financing method to fight the adverse impact of Corona virus on poor individuls and SMEs. It provides the solution by proposing an Artificial Intelligence and NLP based Islamic FinTech Model combining Zakat and Qardh-Al-Hasan. Findings: The findings of the study reveals that Islamic finance has immense potential to fight any kind of situation/pandemic. Zakat and Qardh-Al-Hasan, if combined together can prove to be a deadly combination to fight the adverse effect of COVID 19. Practical Implications: To be used as an effective way to support individuals and SMEs in the period during and after the pandemic of COVID 19. Originality/value: There is no study combining Zakat and Qardh Al-Hasan to fight the adverse effect of poor individuals and SMEs. The study will contribute massively to the existing literature and will help the government and civil societies in fighting the economic impact of COVID 19 on individuals and SMEs.peer-reviewe

    Genetic Action Trees A New Concept for Social and Economic Simulation

    Get PDF
    Multi-Agent Based Simulation is a branch of Distributed Artificial Intelligence that builds the base for computer simulations which connect the micro and macro level of social and economic scenarios. This paper presents a new method of modelling the formation and change of patterns of action in social systems with the help of Multi-Agent Simulations. The approach is based on two scientific concepts: Genetic Algorithms [Goldberg 1989, Holland 1975] and the theory of Action Trees [Goldman 1971]. Genetic Algorithms were developed following the biological mechanisms of evolution. Action Trees are used in analytic philosophy for the structural description of actions. The theory of Action Trees makes use of the observation of linguistic analysis that through the preposition by a semi-order is induced on a set of actions. Through the application of Genetic Algorithms on the attributes of the actions of an Action Tree an intuitively simple algorithm can be developed with which one can describe the learning behaviour of agents and the changes in action spaces. Using the extremely simplified economic action space, in this paper called “SMALLWORLDâ€, it is shown with the aid of this method how simulated agents react to the qualities and changes of their environment. Thus, one manages to endogenously evoke intuitively comprehensible changes in the agents‘ actions. This way, one can observe in these simulations that the agents move from a barter to a monetary economy because of the higher effectiveness or that they change their behaviour towards actions of fraud.Multi agent system, genetic algorithms, actiontrees, learning, decision making, economic and social behaviour, distributed artificial intelligence

    Enhancing Manufacturing Planning and Control Systems Through Artificial Intelligence Techniques

    Get PDF
    Manufacturing planning and control systems are currently dominated by systems based upon Material Requirements Planning (MRP). MRP systems have a number of fundamental flaws. A potential alternative to MRP systems is suggested after research into the economic batch scheduling problem. Based on the ideas of economic batch scheduling, and enhanced through artificial intelligence techniques, an alternative approach to manufacturing planning and control is developed. A framework for future research on this alternative to MRP is presented

    Cruz-Jesus, F., Castelli, M., Oliveira, T., Mendes, R., Nunes, C., Sa-Velho, M., & Rosa-Louro, A. (2020). Using artificial intelligence methods to assess academic achievement in public high schools of a European Union country. Heliyon, 6(6), [e04081]. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.heliyon.2020.e04081Understanding academic achievement (AA) is one of the most global challenges, as there is evidence that it is deeply intertwined with economic development, employment, and countries’ wellbeing. However, the research conducted on this topic grounds in traditional (statistical) methods employed in survey (sample) data. This paper presents a novel approach, using state-of-the-art artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to predict the academic achievement of virtually every public high school student in Portugal, i.e., 110,627 students in the academic year of 2014/2015. Different AI and non-AI methods are developed and compared in terms of performance. Moreover, important insights to policymakers are addressed.publishersversionpublishersversionpublishe

    Get PDF
    The presented paper deals with the issue of social creation of knowledge in the postmodern economic order. The concept of beneficients as a core idea of this conception in connection with thermodynamic analogy in interdisciplinary problem leads to the materialistic and intellectual dual analysis of sustainable phenomenon of development and creation of knowledge. The paper discusses the possibility of a new way of development of institutional economy in the direction of knowledge economy and the change in an approach to an organisation from the traditional systemic to a cooperating community. The presented considerations are a germ of intellectual infrastructure and supporting the process of structural learning and sustainable development with artificial intelligence. It has been suggested that social energy should be considered as an alternative way of perceiving development.entropy, social complex systems, postmodern economy, econophbysics, multiagent economy

    Double-reading mammograms using artificial intelligence technologies: A new model of mass preventive examination organization

    Get PDF
    BACKGROUND: In recent years, the availability of medical datasets and technologies for software development based on artificial intelligence technology has resulted in a growth in the number of solutions for medical diagnostics, particularly mammography. Registered as a medical device, this program can interpret digital mammography, significantly saving time, material, and human resources in healthcare while ensuring the quality of mammary gland preventive studies. AIM: This study aims to justify the possibility and effectiveness of artificial intelligence-based software for the first interpretation of digital mammograms while maintaining the practice of a radiologists second description of X-ray images. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A dataset of 100 digital mammography studies (50 absence of target pathology and 50 ― presence of target pathology, with signs of malignant neoplasms) was processed by software based on artificial intelligence technology that was registered as a medical device in the Russian Federation. Receiver operating characteristic analysis was performed. Limitations of the study include the values of diagnostic accuracy metrics obtained for software based on artificial intelligence technology versions, relevant at the end of 2022. RESULTS: When set to 80.0% sensitivity, artificial intelligence specificity was 90.0% (95% CI, 81.798.3), and accuracy was 85.0% (95% CI, 78.092.0). When set to 100% specificity, artificial intelligence demonstrated 56.0% sensitivity (95% CI, 42.269.8) and 78.0% accuracy (95% CI, 69.986.1). When the sensitivity was set to 100%, the artificial intelligence specificity was 54.0% (95% CI, 40.267.8), and the accuracy was 77.0% (95% CI, 68.885.2). Two approaches have been proposed, providing an autonomous first interpretation of digital mammography using artificial intelligence. The first approach is to evaluate the X-ray image using artificial intelligence with a higher sensitivity than that of the double-reading mammogram by radiologists, with a comparable level of specificity. The second approach implies that artificial intelligence-based software will determine the mammogram category (absence of target pathology or presence of target pathology), indicating the degree of confidence in the obtained result, depending on the corridor into which the predicted value falls. CONCLUSIONS: Both proposed approaches for using artificial intelligence-based software for the autonomous first interpretation of digital mammograms can provide diagnostic quality comparable to, if not superior to, double-image reading by radiologists. The economic benefit from the practical implementation of this approach nationwide can range from 0.6 to 5.5 billion rubles annually
