AI has impacted many industries because of solving different issues and optimizing the workflow. In healthcare, AI algorithms work through big sets of medical data, where the key aspects include diseases diagnostics at early stage, treatment and comprehensive patient records management. For example, diagnostic tools for diseases, leveraging the ability for pattern analysis of a patient’s x-ray or MRI images may be more efficient and precise as the human controlled tools. (Barth, 2023)


 In the financial industry, the application of AI reduces cases of fraud by flagging possible fraudulent tendencies from transactions that are occurring in real time. AI also boosts customer service via the usage of chatbots and virtual assistants that can solve their problems with no delay. It is established that such tools are useful in managing various types of questions spanning across information on account status to specific financial advisory services increases customer satisfaction. (Hewlett Packard Enterprise, 2024)

 

 AI is also central in environmental conservation. Satellite imagery is used in machine learning for such things as detection of deforestation, count of animals, and forecasting of natural disasters. These insights help in prevention and formulation of policies to help in the conservation of ecosystems and the biotic community. (AI In Environment and Conservation: Transforming the Way We Protect Our Planet | Omdena, n.d.)

 

 In manufacturing, Artificial Intelligence automates product lines by analysing when the machines, tools and equipment will require maintenance hence planning for the best time to replace the worn out parts and identifying the probability of spoiled products. Through collection of data from the various sensors and machinery, AI is indeed capable of anticipating when a piece of equipment will fail so as to avoid disrupting the operations. (Moore, 2023)

Reducing pollution and traffic congestion in urban transportation systems is a major issue that artificial intelligence can assist in solving. Globally, cities are struggling with growing traffic numbers, which results in longer commutes, more fuel use, and greater air pollution levels. Real-time traffic data analysis, congestion pattern prediction, and traffic signal timing optimization are just a few of the ways artificial intelligence (AI) might transform urban transportation. Furthermore, AI-enabled apps can offer drivers dynamic route recommendations that cut down on travel time and fuel usage. By optimizing timetables and routes based on passenger demand, artificial intelligence (AI) can also improve public transit systems' accessibility and efficiency. AI can also help design and integrate autonomous vehicles, which will decrease human error and improve road safety. By making use of these potentials, artificial intelligence (AI) can considerably reduce traffic congestion in cities, making them more livable and sustainable while also lessening the environmental effect of transportation.

Furthermore, by forecasting future traffic patterns and directing urban development to meet expanding transportation needs, AI can assist smart infrastructure design. AI-driven solutions can also promote the usage of shared mobility choices, lower the number of vehicles on the road, and improve ride-hailing and car-sharing systems. AI will play a more and more important role in guaranteeing eco-friendly and efficient transportation as cities grow, providing a route to a future where urban dwellers will live in cleaner air, with less traffic and a higher standard of living.

Effectuation

 OSAMAH AHMED AL-NAGGAR(TP078781) (University of Virginia, 2019) Effectuation is considered a framework of entrepreneurship designed for decision-making that focuses on taking advantage of accessible resources and adaptation to changing circumstances. It was developed by Saras Sarasvathy in a way that focuses on setting specific goals and systematically planning to achieve them, which is contrasted with the traditional causation approaches. Instead, effectuation starts with the available tools, letting objectives develop naturally through recurrent processes of engagement with stakeholders and the environment. (What Is Effectuation? Effectuation 101, n.d.) Central to effectuation is the "Bird-in-Hand Principle," which encourages entrepreneurs to begin with what they know, who they are, and whom they know. This principle highlights the importance of using existing resources and capabilities to take initial steps and shows how crucial it is. The "Affordable Loss Principle...

Generating Good Ideas

OSAMAH AHMED AL-NAGGAR(TP078781) Good Ideas (Petch, 2016) A good idea results from three factors: innovation, practicality, and market demand. At its core, a good idea fulfills a need or solves a specific problem. Inventing new technologies or things is not the determinant of how good an idea is; rather, creating things that add value to people's lives or improve existing innovations does (SmartStorming, n.d.). A good idea is also a feasible idea. It means it should be implementable with resources and technology that are available, ensuring it's not just a theoretical concept but can become a viable product or service for customers (Forbes Business Council, 2023). Marketing is also crucial. Even the smartest, most realistic idea will struggle or even fail to gain traction if it has poor marketing. Understanding the target audience helps in grasping the needs and desires of potential customers (Emeritus, n.d.). Another distinguishing factor of a good idea is scalability. An idea...
