Introduction

Artificial intelligence (IA), in daily life

The advances in AI and the Internet of Things (IoT) are a technology that many people benefit from today. Some companies offer their brands through Apps for smart devices, which can guide the customer to make electronic purchases at a Market Place, from the comfort of home.

We also find home appliances that connect to the Web to update software or to develop functions assisted by a Bot, which remains online ready to help, improving the user experience with the use of AI and Machine Learning.

The application of AI stands out worldwide in the fields of: Health, science and technology, automotive, industry, food processing, education, sports, among others.

Apart from the above, it is worth taking into account some other aspects that are also vital in our day to day and where AI keeps a really efficient performance. In this way I came across an interesting case.

Problematic

Job application

The job search is a social phenomenon in which many of us have had to be involved.

For example:

"An unemployed person who does not find a profitable proposal according to their professional profile and finds it difficult to move from one place to another without obtaining answers, given that competitiveness in the street is increasing and sometimes the unemployment rate exceeds the offers of work"

Each time, this socio-economic aspect of great relevance is more frequent in the labor sphere, especially in developing countries.

There are platforms that use AI to handle data from nearby employers, on which you can subscribe your request and get reasonable answers in a short time.

¿Some place that can help?

I have found a Web site, called Dream Jobs, established in Colombia, which is in charge of helping users get employment online.

(The website was taken as a reference only, it does not represent the research topic)

Artificial intelligence and blockchain storage

The platform has developed a Chat Bot built in Blockchain, capable of conducting job interviews and storing Curriculum Vitae data; It is assisted by artificial intelligence (AI), which guarantees productivity development, search effectiveness and scalability.

Machine learning

The site develops its own knowledge based on frequent use and browsing habits issued by users.

Apps

It also offers the download of a mobile application that lets you know your location to provide information from employers close to your address.

If you want to know more about the website, visit the official website: link

There are other similar websites that may be of interest:
computrabajo.com
elempleo.com
microtrabajos (info)

It would not be acceptable to accept a recommendation!

To some extent I would dare to recommend to anyone inside and outside Colombia, to use this type of technological tool that seeks to facilitate the employment process in this country.

It should be noted that given the large influx of immigrants, mainly Venezuelans, who are currently entering Colombia in search of a better quality of life, it is likely that the use of this type of blockchain-supported technology is very useful for many.

AI advances rebound in Colombia

Finally, I could find out that in Colombia there is a great advance in the implementation and investigation of new AI projects, to help advance and solve problems within public entities, as well as private organizations.

The topic was disclosed at the conference of the eLAC (VI Sixth Ministerial Conference on the Information Society in Latin America and the Caribbean) of the year 2018, where AI and Machine learning, were the main points.

Among the most outstanding creations of the event are:

«Learning dynamic action units for three-dimensional facial expression»
«Automated project for the detection of lung cancer with Artificial Intelligence»
«System of prediction of priority level (Triage) in Colombian entities providing health»
«Cognitive architecture aimed at the translation of sustainable development language»

General information: cepal.org

"When reviewing these disclosed projects, I could see that all creations are oriented to the health area, which determines the progress of the Colombian health care system. The diversity of these investigations shows that AI is a technology that despite its early adoption and some other aspects that are still subjects of study today, its advantages are undeniable for the development of nations"

We hope that the introduction of this type of technologies, compatible with Artificial Intelligence, will continue, as well as, the blockchain adoption for the construction of new platforms such as the aforementioned, which seek the advancement of society and the improvement of living conditions of the human being.

Dear @nachomolina

I absolutely love topics related to AI. Thx for sharing link to your publication with me.

AI, Internet of things and also 5G - that's like the most thrilling and scary combination I can think of. It's hard to imagine how our future will look like and world we're living in will probably be VERY different within our lifetime.

You've mentioned jobs market. This can surely be revolutionized with AI. However right now unfortunate people with very little skills and experience can still get a chance to find a job. Would they have similar chance if it would depend on AI? Perhaps not.

thx for sharing link to dreamjobs. Do they have english version? I couldn't find the switch :/

upovte on the way :)
Yours, Piotr

Hi! @crypto.piotr
The purpose of AI, IoT, 5G, is to create useful tools for the human being!
I think helping to get some physical work at the national level is an activity that helps reduce the huge unemployment rate on a global scale!
Platforms like the one mentioned in the article have existed for many years, but they were operated by people with different criteria and perhaps this may sound like something centralized. I believe that with the introduction of AI in these types of projects, greater impartiality is achieved in making decisions, since workers' choice patterns are made by a general data that includes the information necessary to hire and does not directly involve personal decision. of the man who could obey personal interests.
So also the unemployed would have to make fewer efforts and have less mobilization expenses since they would do searches from their computer or smart computer. I think this is the great benefit of AI, for this case.

Late thank you for your previous comment @nachomolina

ps.
What's your impression so far after latest forks? One week after hf21 and hf21 has been introduced?

ps.
Check out my latest publication..
It brought some real emotions. I've been downvoted by over half million SP (attack of few accounts), however I also received solid support and few strong upvotes and now I will be enjoying the biggest genuine payout in my lifetime ;)

Yours

@crypto.piotr invited me to this post. Thanks for that.

AI and jobs the two somehow seem opposites. To hear that the intelligent software is helping people to find meaningful work is refreshing.

The tech is going to be refined and the softwares will become nearly omniscient. What are the new job requirements is the next issue!

Keep Steemin!!

It seems to many that AI is coming to fill jobs in some way established for human beings. I think that, rather, AI only comes to assist the man in the workplace, I do not believe that both are mutually exclusive, on the contrary it is in the interest of the man that AI exists and thus be able to help his workload and be able to devote his Time for further research.

Great article @nachomolina!

AI is really changing the world we live in. Recently discovered a sales company that uses AI to aid in lead generation and positive publicity for clients. They say this new type of AI sales technology works better than word of mouth in the digital economy.

I was invited by @crypto.piotr to comment on this post!

Yep... Piotr this field is kind of right up my alley!

I've been doing some research in this field in the past years and I'm fascinated, scared and impressed by the progress that was made in different fields of AI. Machine learning for instance has made such progress in the last 4-6 years that I'm simply baffled. Maybe even Ray Kurzweil is a little to pessimistic on the progress of AI and that means a lot... ;-)

I've been doing a series of articles on AI myself for the past few days. To sum it up... to me it feels like child's playing with matches at times. In other more specific areas like autonomous vehicles or autonomous robots I had frankly overestimated the achievements.

I'll keep looking into this especially because of a lot of touching points to my day job in infosec.


Here the articles that I've wrote about AI in the last days. I guess there will be at least two more until I finish this series... for now.


Articles in this series so far:


Cheers!

Hello @crypto.piotr sent me here. I just want to say that, these are great innovations. This coincide with me trying to find a job as well and, I can really relate especially on the frustration part. Its so hard to find a job and i wish that we have the same thing here in Australia.

There are no job centres in Australia online where you can subscribe and they find you some matches? I can hardly believe that.

Hi! @nurseanne84
I hope you can find a website that helps you find a job!
AI contributes to the selection of a worker's professional profile.
Also with the location of a workstation near the address of your room ...
Greetings, thanks for evaluating my post!

Hello my dear @nachomolina, great topic to read.

«Learning dynamic action units for three-dimensional facial expression»
«Automated project for the detection of lung cancer with Artificial Intelligence»
«System of prediction of priority level (Triage) in Colombian entities providing health»
«Cognitive architecture aimed at the translation of sustainable development language»

Wooo artificial intelligence really has an important utility, it is not only about the area of employment, but the health that is vital. I think that while artificial intelligence goes to these fields of science will be really helpful for us, what we should avoid is its use for warlike purposes, that would be disastrous.

Thanks friend, very interesting.

My brother, how are you!
Yes, the technological advancement of our sister republic of Colombia is incredible, these projects aimed at the area of ​​health contribute greatly to the social well-being and the improvement of the citizen's quality of life!
Given that the unemployment rate is quite high in some countries in South America, adopting these types of AI platforms becomes a great achievement for many.
Hopefully these technologies are also implemented in Venezuela ...
Thank you for evaluating and leaving your support, see you soon! :)

@crypto.piotr invited me to this post. Thanks for that.
The idea of ​​implementing computer systems on issues that have a great deal of data and with problems for processing has been interesting for years, when during a research project in the field of health, the research team applied data mining in order to Identify the most relevant factors in the mass of various data that were collected.
Already about a decade away from the date of that work, I can think that today we would still use computer support, but perhaps using Whatson-like platforms (IBM).
We move with the times and always try to find the most appropriate tools to perform the work, hence the idea of ​​using AI for all this seems to me a normal course of events.
I also comment that I did not know the state of this field in Colombia and I appreciate the summary presented in this article, as I had read, I think it was Brazil who was leading the developments in this area in the region, but I did not know how the other countries were South Americans about it.

Dear @NachoMolina,

Warning, Rant commencing in 3, 2, 1..

I will not comment that much, or at least try not to, because I've been a huge fan of AI, and still am to a degree, yet, how it is being used, with all that we can see with real eyes, not just at face value or from a propaganda perspective in the present moment of history, is much more destructive than productive, helping the creation of a dystopic society, where the majority are self-centred and as long as there is any self validation trigger, blinking bright colours, the bells of the most recent notification, or even the simple vibration if not into sound notifications only to be able to say "they" don't care, having checked hundreds if not thousand times to see if something not really relevant has happened, all at the push of a button or a touch, even a click..

All the division and manipulation of the masses subversively will not end well, and we will be the ones paying for that in the future if we don't change our ways, there will be no more morals, principles, manners, decency, there will be no nature, nothing at all, just a bunch more of zombies that follow what a few smart and powerful people decides..

Still, if that is what is needed for the "humanity" to learn the lesson, be it, let there be chaos, destruction, narcissism, absence of care for anything that doesn't benefit the self, but I digress, and I better stop now, I can't and definitely want anyone to do it by force, no one is obliged to open their eyes, but there will be consequences that will have an effect on all, either way, in the end all are responsible for their actions and all the karma they help create to all others around beside their own..

Sorry about this rant, and on a positive note, you wrote a good article, I simply disagree with "the benefits" of AI majorly..

Keep up the good work You have been doing, thank You for contributing for the progress of this blockchain and bringing into the table the topics You do on Your posts..

Wish You all the best my friend,
Cy

I have big doubts about this if it comes to job searching. We have this since many years but you are a human being. No matter how qualified you may be if I do not like you (r character, personality, the sound of your voice, your lifestyle, the fact you have children, smoke or...) I will not hire you. Exception might be if you are the only one, work online and I do not see and hear you.

AI in the job search. Would seem to me that we will all one day need our own personal AI assistant to accompany us on the cryptonet.

Not a fan of "internet of things" tech... I don't want people to become "dependent" on "outside service" to maintain their own possessions.

Government always finds a way to intrude on such dependencies through the auspices of "regulation."

OK, then you have to be careful!
As you say, IoT puts decentralization at risk,
somehow your thinking sounds consistent,
I will keep it in mind when hiring an AI service!
Thank you for your input.

AI is the future and it is the invention of mankind but it is also a possibility that AI will eventually replace us because AI is superior and also it is ethically more suitable for this planet which we had destroyed to much extent.

AI feeds on human intelligence. Machine Learning programming is conditional on the standards that man decides; I think that in this way the machine can never overcome man as a human resource. It may only serve as a help and technical assistance to master work overload. Hopefully the human being always uses Ai for good specifics on our planet, so that there is never anything to regret ...
Thanks for passing and leaving your comment!
