4 Top AI beauty platforms

by

There is little doubt that Covid-19 has changed the beauty industry. The website SuperBelle reports that while the beauty industry was predicted to grow to $571,696 million in market value by 2023, it actually dropped from $504,501 million in 2019 to $483,338 million in 2020.

“The effects of this fall have been particularly challenging in northern Italy, which produces approximately 65 percent of the world’s makeup,” states the site.

Some of the reasons for this decline have included the global lockdown and temporary suspension of in-store shopping, lack of face-to-face consultations with beauty experts, the compulsory wearing of face masks and a reduction in income. [Read more…] about 4 Top AI beauty platforms

Google research reveals ‘what’s needed for AI acceleration in manufacturing’

by

By Dominik Wee, managing director manufacturing and industrial, Google Cloud

While the promise of artificial intelligence transforming the manufacturing industry is not new, long-ongoing experimentation hasn’t yet led to widespread business benefits. Manufacturers remain in “pilot purgatory,” as Gartner reports that only 21% of companies in the industry have active AI initiatives in production.

However, new research from Google Cloud reveals that the COVID-19 pandemic may have spurred a significant increase in the use of AI and other digital enablers among manufacturers.

According to our data—which polled more than 1,000 senior manufacturing executives across seven countries—76% have turned to digital enablers and disruptive technologies due to the pandemic such as data and analytics, cloud, and artificial intelligence (AI). And 66% of manufacturers who use AI in their day-to-day operations report that their reliance on AI is increasing.

The top three sub-sectors deploying AI to assist in day-to-day operations are automotive/OEMs (76%), automotive suppliers (68%), and heavy machinery (67%). [Read more…] about Google research reveals ‘what’s needed for AI acceleration in manufacturing’
