The AI technologies have accelerated advancements in robotics and automation, which have significant implications on almost every aspect of businesses, and especially supply chain operations. Supply chains have widely adopted smart technologies that enable real-time automated data collection, analysis, and prediction. In this study, we review recent applications of AI in operations management (OM) and supply chain management (SCM). Specifically, we consider the innovations in healthcare, manufacturing, and retail operations, since collectively, these three areas represent a majority of the AI innovations in business as well as growing problem areas. We discuss primary challenges and opportunities for utilizing AI in those industries. We also discuss trending research topics with significant value potential in these areas.}, keywords = {AI, artificial intelligence, Artificial Intelligence (AI), automation, machine learning, machine learning (ML), ml, om, operations management, Operations Management (OM), Robotics, scm, supply chain management, Supply Chain Management (SCM)}, issn = {2524-6356}, doi = {10.1007/s42488-020-00023-1}, author = {Dogru, Ali K and Keskin, Burcu B} } @article {Roccetti2020, title = {A Cautionary Tale for Machine Learning Design: why we Still Need Human-Assisted Big Data Analysis}, journal = {Mobile Networks and Applications}, volume = {25}, number = {3}, year = {2020}, pages = {1075{\textendash}1083}, publisher = {Mobile Networks and Applications}, abstract = {Supervised Machine Learning (ML) requires that smart algorithms scrutinize a very large number of labeled samples before they can make right predictions. And this is not always true either. In our experience, in fact, a neural network trained with a huge database comprised of over fifteen million water meter readings had essentially failed to predict when a meter would malfunction/need disassembly based on a history of water consumption measurements. With a second step, we developed a methodology, based on the enforcement of a specialized data semantics, that allowed us to extract only those samples for training that were not noised by data impurities. With this methodology, we re-trained the neural network up to a prediction accuracy of over 80\%. Yet, we simultaneously realized that the new training dataset was significantly different from the initial one in statistical terms, and much smaller, as well. We had reached a sort of paradox: We had alleviated the initial problem with a better interpretable model, but we had changed the replicated form of the initial data. To reconcile that paradox, we further enhanced our data semantics with the contribution of field experts. This has finally led to the extrapolation of a training dataset truly representative of regular/defective water meters and able to describe the underlying statistical phenomenon, while still providing an excellent prediction accuracy of the resulting classifier. At the end of this path, the lesson we have learnt is that a human-in-the-loop approach may significantly help to clean and re-organize noised datasets for an empowered ML design experience.}, keywords = {Human-in-the-loop methods, Human-machine-Bigdata interaction loop, Machine learning design, Smart data, Water metering and consumption}, issn = {15728153}, doi = {10.1007/s11036-020-01530-6}, author = {Roccetti, Marco and Delnevo, Giovanni and Casini, Luca and Salomoni, Paola} } @article {Acemoglu2020, title = {Competing with Robots: Firm-Level Evidence from France}, journal = {AEA Papers and Proceedings}, volume = {110}, year = {2020}, pages = {383{\textendash}388}, abstract = {We study the firm-level implications of robot adoption in France.

This framework lays out guidelines of how to use different AIs to engage customers based on considerations of nature of service task, service offering, service strategy, and service process. AI develops from mechanical, to thinking, and to feeling. As AI advances to a higher intelligence level, more human service employees and human intelligence (HI) at the intelligence levels lower than that level should be used less. Thus, at the current level of AI development, mechanical service should be performed mostly by mechanical AI, thinking service by both thinking AI and HI, and feeling service mostly by HI. Mechanical AI should be used for standardization when service is routine and transactional, for cost leadership, and mostly at the service delivery stage. Thinking AI should be used for personalization when service is data-rich and utilitarian, for quality leadership, and mostly at the service creation stage. Feeling AI should be used for relationalization when service is relational and high touch, for relationship leadership, and mostly at the service interaction stage.

They are incorporated into both peaceful civilian applications and military weapons systems. Most of the existing codes of conduct and ethical principles on artificial intelligence address the former while largely ignoring the latter.

However, while a freeze in investigations is neither possible nor desirable, neither is the maintenance of the current status quo. Comparison between general-purpose ethical codes and military ones concludes that most ethical principles apply to human use of artificial intelligence systems as long as two characteristics are met: that the way algorithms work is understood and that humans retain enough control.

The increased pervasiveness of technological advancements in automation makes it urgent to address the question of how work is changing in response. Focusing on applications of machine learning (ML) that automate information tasks, we present a simple framework for identifying the impacts of an automated system on a task. From an analysis of popular press articles about ML, we develop 3 patterns for the use of ML--decision support, blended decision making and complete automation--with implications for the kinds of tasks and systems. We further consider how automation of one task might have implications for other interdependent tasks. Our main conclusion is that designers have a range of options for systems and that automation of tasks is not the same as automation of work.

What implications does this have for society? Two distinct ethical/social issues would seem to arise. The first is one of distributive justice: how will the (presumed) efficiency gains from automated labour be distributed through society? The second is one of personal fulfillment and meaning: if people no longer have to work, what will they do with their lives? In this article, I set aside the first issue and focus on the second. In doing so, I make three arguments. First I argue that there are good reasons to embrace non-work and that these reasons become more compelling in an era of technological unemployment. Second, I argue that the technological advances that make widespread technological unemployment possible could still threaten or undermine human flourishing and meaning, especially if (as is to be expected) they do not remain confined to the economic sphere. And third, I argue that this threat could be contained if we adopt an integrative approach to our relationship with technology. In advancing these arguments, I draw on three distinct literatures: (1) the literature on technological unemployment and workplace automation; (2) the antiwork critique - which I argue gives reasons to embrace technological unemployment; and (3) the philosophical debate about the conditions for meaning in life - which I argue gives reasons for concern.}, keywords = {Antiwork, automation, Egalitarianism, Freedom, Meaning of life, Technological unemployment, Transhumanism}, doi = {10.1007s/11948-016-9770-5}, author = {John Danaher} } @article {2016, title = {Human Interaction With Robot Swarms: A Survey}, journal = {Transaction on human-machine systems}, volume = {46}, year = {2016}, month = {02/2016}, pages = {9-26}, publisher = {IEEE}, abstract = {Recent advances in technology are delivering robots of reduced size and cost.

These kinds of distributed systems present novel challenges for the effective integration of human supervisors, operators, and teammates that are only beginning to be addressed. This paper is the first survey of human-swarm interaction (HSI) and identifies the core concepts needed to design a human-swarm system. We first present the basics of swarm robotics. Then, we introduce HSI from the perspective of a human operator by discussing the cognitive complexity of solving tasks with swarm systems. Next, we introduce the interface between swarm and operator and identify challenges and solutions relating to human-swarm communication, state estimation and visualization, and human control of swarm. For the latter, we develop a taxonomy of control methods that enable operators to control swarms effectively.
