📋 McKinsey: Companies are using more AI capabilities
McKinsey has published results from its annual AI survey, and the results show that AI is, slowly but surely, making its way into the economy.
Those findings in full:
AI adoption has plateaued: In 2017, 20% of respondents said they had adopted AI in at least one business area. In 2022, that figure was 50% (it peaked in 2019 at 58%).
Organizations are using more AI capabilities than before: In 2018, organizations used on average 1.9 distinct capabilities (e.g, computer vision, or natural language generation), rising to 3.8% in 2022.
Rising investment: In 2018, "40 percent of respondents at organizations using AI reported more than 5 percent of their digital budgets went to AI," and in 2022 that rose to 52%.
👨💻 Language models aren't welcome on StackOverflow
StackOverflow has temporarily banned ChatGPT-written submissions to its website, as the site's human creators grapple with the problems brought about by autonomous, AI coders.
"Overall, because the average rate of getting correct answers from ChatGPT is too low, the posting of answers created by ChatGPT is substantially harmful to the site and to users who are asking or looking for correct answers," StackOverflow admins write in a post.
🚙 Drive Different
Apple is redrawing the road map for its self-driving car.
The company is redesigning an autonomous car that has been in development for nearly a decade, Bloomberg reported. Originally intended to be fully autonomous under all conditions, the redesigned vehicle will allow for a human driver.
Apple had scheduled the vehicle, code named Titan, for 2025, anonymous insiders said. However, executives realized earlier this year that they couldn’t meet the deadline and decided to scale back the autonomous features. The new timeline calls for a prototype by 2024, testing through 2025, and launch in 2026.
⚽️ The World Cup’s AI Referee
The outcome of the FIFA World Cup 2022 depends on learning algorithms.
The annual championship tournament of football (known as soccer in the United States), which wraps up this week, is using machine learning to help human arbiters spot players who break a rule that governs their locations on the field.
The off-side rule requires that members of the team that possesses the ball keep two opposing players between them and their opponents’ goal. Referees often call off-side erroneously depending on their vantage point on the field. FIFA introduced a Video Assisted Review system in 2018. The machine learning capabilities help human assistants in a remote video center identify violations.

[🚀 Release] Evidently 0.2, the open-source ML monitoring tool to continuously check on your models and data
Evidently 0.2 is a stable release. They finished a major refactoring and put a lot of learnings into code. In this blog, we give an overview of the Evidently features.
