Assignment activity and guidance :

Research Theme: Artificial Intelligence

Research Topic: Practical applications and limitations of the use of AI in an identified sector
(e.g. e-commerce, healthcare, biomedical science, education, lifestyle, automotive
engineering, agriculture, gaming, finance)

“Artificial intelligence is at the forefront of innovation within Computer Science that uses a
combination of logic, algorithms and large data sets to produce an AI model. The AI model is created
to perform specific tasks or make predictions on supplied sets of input data, for example identifying
patterns in weather data, internet search data or analysis of medical data. Artificial intelligence is
predicted to generate a potential impact to the global economy of $13 – $15 Trillion by 2030, with
sales of AI related hardware, software and services predicted to see a global revenue of $900 billion.
It is predicted that AI will boost the GDP of China by a little over 26% by 2039, and of North

America by 14.5%. AI requires the input of structured and labelled data, where the outputs are already
known. The input data sets to the AI model are intrinsically linked to study field to which the AI
engine is to be applied. The AI model can then be used to identify and recognise patterns and
relationships within the input data. This identification step is referred to as ‘training’ the AI model.
Once this training is completed, the model can then be used to make predictions and identify patterns
within brand new data sets. This new data set can then be added to the existing data set, so that the AI
model keeps ‘growing’. As the model data set keeps expanding, and the AI algorithms are modified
and refined, this gives the impression that the AI is ‘learning’ and demonstrating ‘intelligence’. AI has
been used extensively to analyse and process large and complex datasets produced by big data
systems, often in real time and using Computer Vision to extract data from image sources.
Developing Artificial Intelligence required a range of knowledge and skills across a broad range of
computer science disciplines. AI developers need to be familiar with the algorithms and techniques in
fields such as machine learning, natural language processing, computer vision and data science.
Knowing the required computing skills will help organisations recruit the correct resources to help
develop and extend AI systems. Artificial Intelligence has a range of benefits across many industry
sectors. In the finance industry, AI is rapidly becoming a game changer, using advanced algorithms,
models and machine learning to carry out predictive analytics on large, rapidly changing financial
datasets to provide more accurate financial predictions. In the field of business operations, AI
automation is helping to support and enhance labour productivity, leading to greater cost savings and
increased efficiency. AI is also revolutionising the way businesses interact with their customers, by
providing AI driven expert systems to help customers resolve queries as well as providing
personalised recommendations based on customer choices and preferences. In the field of biomedical
science, AI models help in the development of new drug treatments for a range of diseases by
searching and processing large scale medical and DNA datasets. While Artificial Intelligence has
numerous benefits in the analysis and processing of large data sets to solve problems, there are some
clear risks to the application technology. AI systems respond to the data fed into the model, and so if
this data is not representative of the problem area under study, there is a likelihood that the output of
the AI model will be biased. In addition, there are security and privacy concerns on the source and
storage of the large datasets used for AI. The rise of the Deepfake image and the manipulation of the
human voice is also a concern because of the spread of misinformation. The wide-ranging effects of
these risks mean that they can only be dealt with by a diverse range of stakeholders, including
computer scientists, law makers, governments, and industry leaders. There are also incidental risks of
AI in business, for example the increasing adoption of AI based systems may increase unemployment
across a range of sectors and workforce demographics. Learners will have the opportunity to
investigate the applications, benefits and limitations of Artificial Intelligence while exploring the

Privacy protection is another essential aspect, especially when dealing with personal student data. By
adopting techniques such as data anonymization and data minimization, Dialog will be able to ensure that
student privacy is upheld while still benefiting from the insights provided by AI. These practices also help
ensure compliance with local and international data privacy regulations.

Finally, providing employee training and awareness programs is crucial to foster an AI-driven culture within
the education division. Empowering staff with the skills to analyze and handle data securely will help Dialog
mitigate the risks of unauthorized access or data breaches, ensuring the institution’s data remains protected
while delivering value through actionable insights.
