Insurance 2030 - What will AI-enabled insurance look like?

Duration: 0:07:15

In this episode of Comprehensive AI, host Yuxuan discusses the topic of insurance. While some people, like his friend Laoli, enjoy having insurance, others find the policies and claims process too complicated. As a financial product, insurance has been around longer than even mutual funds, but the industry itself lags behind others like banking. Insurance products require manual claims processing and offline inspections, making the industry at least a decade behind banking, according to some media reports. The future of insurance may lie in automated technologies like self-driving cars, which could receive feedback from intelligent assistants to improve safety and reduce the likelihood of accidents.

Film Shots - AI Analysis of How Oscar Blockbusters Are Filmed

Duration: 0:06:55

The podcast discuses how AI technology is being applied in the film industry. While science fiction movies often depict humans defeating advanced robots, companies such as IBM and Nvidia have started to use AI to improve movie production. Filmmakers convey their stories through a language of visuals and sound, and the language of film consists of various types of shots, such as close-ups, mediums, and wides. By analyzing and categorizing these shots using machine learning, the process of creating movies can be made more efficient and effective. With the help of AI, images can be classified into specific shot types, such as close-ups or wide shots, allowing for easier analysis and faster production. Machine learning can be used for supervised learning, where different screenshots can be analyzed and sorted manually to determine which shot types they belong to.
