Techs Together: How AI, Blockchain, Cybersecurity, Drones, IoT and SaaS Transformed the Workforce

AI powers a lot of backend processes that people may not even realize, including pattern recognition embedded in cybersecurity protocols that helps keep companies safe all day, every day, according to Lloyd Danzig, chairman and founder of the International Consortium for the Ethical Development of Artificial Intelligence and co-chair of CompTIA’s AI Advisory Council.
“When there’s a distributed workforce, and people log in to secure servers from all over the world, from different devices, those cyber concerns and requirements are increased exponentially. There’s a lot of pattern recognition done in an automated and optimized fashion by AI and machine learning that allows people to work more fluidly from home from their own devices,” Danzig said. “Not long ago, unless you had a company-issued [device], you almost couldn’t do your core functionality away from the office. AI has enabled the remote workforce to function more efficiently and easily.”
In addition, the custom backgrounds you can add to your Zoom screen also leverage AI technologies—perhaps saving your colleagues from seeing how messy your room is, Danzig joked.
“You can also ask the microphone to filter out background noise so people can hear just you,” he said. “There’s all sorts of mathematics and machine learning running in the background making people’s lives a lot easier and delivering higher-quality audio and video.”

But even this writer has to admit that Atlanta-based email editing SaaS startup Lavender has a pretty legitimate purpose which could be very beneficial to anyone who sends email and cares about the quality of their messaging and communication. 
Lavender, a Chrome extension email plugin from the folks behind Sorter, might sound a bit like Grammarly, which you may have seen advertised on TV as a way to improve your grammar when writing online. But rather than focusing on typos, misspellings and whether or not you’ve put the correct their there, Lavender analyzes your email in real time with email gamification and behavioral science, using its calculations to make suggestions for increasing your electronic message’s “emotional intelligence.”
