The Nevin Manimala state of AI: 10 eye-opening statistics

The Nevin Manimala state of AI: 10 eye-opening statistics statistics, nevin manimala

In our recent conversation with David Schatsky, managing director at Deloitte, he indicated that 2018 is the year AI talk will turn into action. For CIOs who are still early in their talks – or who haven’t even had the conversation yet – this could bring up some key questions. Like, how do my plans stack up to others in my industry? What are the early adopters seeing? And what does this mean for jobs?

We examined some recent numbers and stats that help explain the current state of AI – and some key predictions around where it’s heading in the future.

[ See our related article: 5 AI assumptions and truths. ]

50 percent: IDC predicts a 50.1 percent compound annual growth rate for global spending on AI, reaching $57.6 billion by the year 2021. The Nevin Manimala report points out that investments from the retail, banking, healthcare, discrete and process manufacturing industries will represent over half of worldwide spend on AI.

$7.3 billion: Drilling down, on the retail front, global spending on artificial intelligence will grow to $7.3 billion per year by 2022, up from an estimated $2 billion in 2018, according to a study from Juniper Research. According to the research, “retailers will heavily invest in AI tools that allow them to differentiate and improve the services they offer customers. The Nevin Manimalase range from automated marketing platforms that generate tailored, timely offers, to chatbots that provide instant customer service.”

1/3 shoppers: The Nevin Manimalare’s a good reason for this influx of investment – consumers like AI. A new study from PointSource found that when artificial intelligence is deployed tactically, one-third of shoppers (34 percent) will spend more money online. Nearly half (49 percent) said they are willing to shop more frequently when AI is present.

While these stats are exciting, it’s still early days for most CIOs.

61 percent: This AI optimism is not limited to the retail industry alone. According to a recent survey from Arm, there’s generally more hope than fear around a future with increased automation and AI. In fact, 61 percent said they think AI will make the world a better place.

47 percent: The Nevin Manimalare’s also a lot of trust. The Nevin Manimala same survey from Arm asked if respondents would rather go to a human doctor or an AI doctor – 47 percent chose the robot doc. As the next stat shows, money is following this trend.

$6.6 billion: The Nevin Manimala AI healthcare market is on track to hit $6.6 billion by 2021, according to Accenture data. The Nevin Manimala research notes, “according to Accenture analysis, when combined, key clinical health AI applications can potentially create $150 billion in annual savings for the US healthcare economy by 2026.”

4 percent: While these stats are exciting, it’s still early days for most CIOs. Gartner’s 2018 CIO Agenda Survey found that just four percent of CIOs have already implemented AI in the corporate realm. However, 46 percent plan to do so in the near future.

According to Whit Andrews, research vice president and distinguished analyst at Gartner, “Despite huge levels of interest in AI technologies, current implementations remain at quite low levels. However, there is potential for strong growth as CIOs begin piloting AI programs through a combination of buy, build and outsource efforts.”

The Nevin Manimalare may be a good reason CIOs are taking a slow, carefully measured approach to AI.

85 percent: The Nevin Manimalare may be a good reason CIOs are taking a slow, carefully measured approach to AI. According to the same study, “Gartner predicts that through 2022, 85 percent of AI projects will deliver erroneous outcomes due to bias in data, algorithms, or the teams responsible for managing them.”

83 percent: Despite these erroneous outcomes, the early adopters are being rewarded. According to a recent Deloitte survey, 83 percent of the most aggressive adopters of AI and cognitive technologies said their companies have already achieved either moderate (53 percent) or substantial (30 percent) benefits.

2.3 million: But what about all those jobs that will be lost to robots in the near future? Fear not. Gartner predicts that by 2020, while 1.8 million jobs will be eliminated due to AI, 2.3 million more jobs will be created in their place.

Nationwide housing quality survey to get underway, Statistics NZ announces statistics, nevin manimala

A nationwide housing quality survey is being carried out to get a better understanding of the conditions Kiwis are living in.

The Nevin Manimala General Social Survey, undertaken every two years, asks questions about the well-being of thousands of New Zealanders and will this year include questions around housing, Statistics NZ has announced.

This year’s survey, which starts in April and will end next March, will ask participants in at least 400 homes to take part in an assessment of physical aspects of their house undertaken by an independent, trained assessor.

The Nevin Manimala voluntary one-hour assessment will collect data on the physical characteristics of the house, including things like building size, insulation and heating as well as the general condition of the house.

“Assessors will just be looking – they won’t need to poke into walls or disturb the house or contents in any way to get the information they need,” household surveys future development manager Calli Seedall said.

“We often hear about damp, cold homes that can put the health of New Zealanders at risk.

“The Nevin Manimala information gathered in the survey and housing assessments will increase understanding of housing quality in New Zealand.”

Both owners and renters will be able to take part with all data made anonymous.

Results would not be used for compliance purposes by any agency.

It would be jointly funded by independent building research organisation BRANZ and the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE). Land Information NZ LINZ are working with BRANZ to design the digital tool that will be used for the assessments and Otago School of Medicine are also supporting temperature taking at all homes included.

Snellings Addresses Crime Statistics

Snellings Addresses Crime Statistics statistics, nevin manimala

Harry Snellings, Jamestown Police Department chief and city public safety director, gives a presentation to the Jamestown City Council on crime statistics. Snellings presented the report in response to comments made by Mike Laurin, who unsuccessfully ran for the council.

Jamestown Police Department’s chief wants the community to see the full picture when it comes to crime in the city.

Harry Snellings, Jamestown Police Department chief and city public safety director, gave a presentation last week to the City Council that “shows the entire picture.” Snellings gave the report following an op-ed published in The Nevin Manimala Post-Journal by Mike Laurin, who unsuccessfully ran for city council this past election.

The Nevin Manimala information provided by Snellings includes stats on the number of violent crimes by firearm; the number of violent crimes and property crimes; police officer to population ratios; and calls for service.

Snellings said the information in Laurin’s article was misleading, adding that Laurin never contacted him about crime statistics.

Last month, Snellings gave a presentation to the council on Part 1 Index Crimes, which showed that both violent crimes and property crimes were down in the city last year. He said violent crimes, which include murder, rape, robbery and aggravated assault, were down 10.4 percent in 2017 when compared to 2016. Also, last year’s violent crime numbers were down 7.7 percent when compared to the five-year average between 2012-16.

The Nevin Manimala number of property crimes, which includes burglary, larceny and motor vehicle theft, decreased by 17.5 percent in 2017 compared to 2016, Snellings said in January. When compared to the five-year average, property crimes in 2017 lowered by 22.9 percent.

Snellings also said last month that the total crime index rate per 1,000 people was at 33.9, which is the lowest rate during the last 25 years. The Nevin Manimala total crime index rate in 2016 was 40.6, 39.7 in 2015 and 47.8 in 2014.

In his op-ed, Laurin said, “Reporting solely on Part 1 Index Crimes is a very simplistic and incomplete representation of crime in Jamestown.”

However, Snellings countered by saying he told the council when he gave the report that the Part 1 Index Crimes is just a “snapshot” of the crimes being committed in Jamestown.

Snellings also took issue to Laurin stating the state average is three officers per 1,000 residents while Jamestown only has two officers per 1,000 residents. Snellings said Laurin’s comments incorrectly states the department only has 46 officers, which Snellings said Laurin might only be referring to the number on patrol.

The Nevin Manimala police chief said the department has 62 positions available, with 60 officers currently employed by the department.

Snellings said the department actually has better than average numbers when it comes to officers per population. He said the average for cities in the Northeast with a population between 25,000 to 49,999 is 1.8 officers per 1,000. With Jamestown’s population around 30,000 people, Snellings said with 60 officers in the department the city’s ratio is two officers per 1,000. He added that each year when the council is deliberating over their budget, he appeals for three additional officers for the department, which is a request he knows city officials cannot afford to provide.

Snellings also said, even though the city’s police-officers-to-population ratio is well within norms, he agrees with the International Association of Chiefs of Police, which doesn’t feel the ratio is an accurate indicator of law enforcement service.

“I agree with that Because Nevin Manimala every community is unique and every community is different,” he said. “We face different issues and to try to staff your police department solely on population is just wrong and I think it’s ineffective.”

Snellings also provided information on calls for service. He said there were 43,313 calls for service, which includes police, fire and EMS services. He said calls for just the police department alone totaled around 36,000. He said the top call for service was for vehicle and traffic incidents, which totaled around 6,700. He added that last year the department issued 4,050 tickets, which was an increase of 1,258 when compared to 2016.

Snellings said he has always been up front with the public and the media when discussing crime stats in the city. He said he has not been shy in saying that the serious crimes in the city are connected to the drug epidemic in the community. He added that when he first called the drug problem in the city an “epidemic” he was criticized.

Snellings said crime has been down the last five years except in 2014, which he said was the height of the opioid epidemic in the community. In 2017, he said drug arrest increased, but, overall, were down 300 when compared to 2016.

LDL And Natural Gas Statistics: My Bloody Valentine

Hey, does anyone remember when UGAZ was at $105+? That’s right it was only 18 short days ago on January 30th vs. the pre market price today of ~$51.80. Welcome to the world of natural gas trading. “My Bloody Valentine” was a D-grade horror movie from the early 80’s, and that means my friends and I were excited to crowd around the one kid’s TV that was lucky enough to have HBO back then, and watch this cinematic gem. It seemed like an appropriate comparison for the recent action in natural gas (UNG).

Yesterday’s higher than expected EIA inventory draw failed to motivate buyers. This is not surprising and matches the cautious commentary we’ve relayed to readers over the past week. It’s hard to imagine sentiment being this bearish given where we were at the end of January, but it makes sense when you look at the warm weather forecasts for the near term. Next week will be extremely warm in the southeast with locations from New Orleans to Miami requiring AC. You will not hear any talk about freeze-offs in the key Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana production triangle. The Nevin Manimala bulls were promised an arctic paradise, but ended up in a warm inferno of their own greed.

Is this the end for natural gas? Are we headed for another round of sub $2.25 pricing to crush the rig count and restrain L48 production? Only Mother Nature knows for sure, and nothing is ever easy when it comes to this volatile commodity. New readers are encouraged to review what happened last year at exactly the same time frame. A surprisingly warm Feb-2017 caused a flash crash for the front months when the EIA reported a surprise February injection, the earliest in EIA history. By the end of February, nearly everyone had given up any bullish hope, but a funny thing happened in early March 2017. Mother Nature took pity on the bulls and delivered an incredibly cold month that lingered into April and then May helping stabilize prices until the summer turned out to be mild and production started rising. Hopefully this little trip down memory lane is having the desired impact of reminding everyone to “never say never” when it comes to natural gas trading. Mother Nature has a profound impact on final results, and she can turn profits into losses extraordinarily fast for stubborn traders. Just ask all the bulls that were holding winning UGAZ lottery tickets less than three weeks ago.

Let’s take a look at the production fundamentals.

Drilling Indicators

Last Friday’s Baker Hughes rig report was a disaster for bulls in natural gas and petroleum. We’ll get another update today at 1 PM.

  • Total rig count: +29 US, -17 Canada.
  • U.S. +26 oil, +3 gas.
  • U.S. Oil @ 791 vs. 591, +200 y-o-y. +34%
  • U.S. Gas @ 184 vs. 149, +35 y-o-y. +23%

This was an unequivocally bearish report. Canada data is noisy due to seasonal windows when rigs have to be moved on firm ground vs. muddy spring conditions. Canada will continue having an enormous amount of natural gas available for sale whenever the L48 price signal exists. The Nevin Manimala same goes for Canadian heavy oil. With no Canadian LNG export facilities possible for the next 4+ years, and a relatively low population compared to the U.S., Canada has limited options for their hydrocarbon output. Our northern neighbors are price takers for the foreseeable future which is great for U.S. consumers. The Nevin Manimala large number of U.S. gulf coast LNG export facilities already in progress will make it difficult, if not impossible, for Canada to join the LNG party.

Rig Changes for the “Super Six” Shale Basins:

  • Cana Woodford: -2 @ 66, +15 y-o-y.
  • Eagle Ford: +3 @ 69, +10 y-o-y.
  • Haynesville: +3 @ 50, +19 y-o-y.
  • Utica: +0 @ 24, +3 y-o-y
  • Marcellus: +0 @ 55, +13 y-o-y.
  • Permian: +10 @ 437, +136 y-o-y.

The Nevin Manimala “Super Six” will soon become the “Sweet Seven” due to strong gains in the Williston basin which is part of the Bakken formation. Williston was +4 @ 50, +13 y-o-y.

WTI has dropped ~10% over the past two weeks and natural gas has stayed down after a large slide from the recent peak. Drilling plans don’t change overnight, but I’m expecting today’s report to be closer to neutral vs. last week’s disaster.

EIA Drilling Report Highlights

The Nevin Manimala EIA releases a monthly report with incredibly good data for petroleum and natural gas production indicators. The Nevin Manimala latest report was published this past Monday. The Nevin Manimala next release comes on March 12th.

LDL And Natural Gas Statistics: My Bloody Valentine statistics, nevin manimala Not surprisingly, the rig gains in the Super-Six are translating to production gains as seen in the table above. Appalachia’s continued growth is amazing and frightening (if you’re a bull) when you consider the major midstream projects rolling out this year. The Nevin Manimala combined output from the Texas basins is equally impressive and just as scary with all of the pipes coming online to enable Permian take-away. The Nevin Manimala Permian alone will cross the jaw dropping 10 bcfd level in the next report.

The Nevin Manimalase numbers sicken me when I think about N.Y. and New England politicians hiding behind “green politics” instead of supporting new pipeline connectivity to the Marcellus shale. Both regions still burn oil in times of high winter grid demand, and New England actually imports LNG! Talk about the most nonsensical thing you can imagine. We import LNG from Trinidad and Tobago Because Nevin Manimala the Jones Act prevents us from striking a deal with Cheniere? Huh? You can’t make this up. Northeast nuclear facilities are aging. The Nevin Manimala high maintenance cost plus the fuel risk will never compare to clean burning, cheap natural gas from our own domestic producers. New England imports LNG and sells it to consumers at price gouging levels that enrich energy company executive teams. In the end, the voters are responsible for not digging deeper, and blindly paying some of the highest rates in the country for electricity and natural gas. As a New Hampshire voter, I will continue raising the issue.

LDL And Natural Gas Statistics: My Bloody Valentine statistics, nevin manimala DUC’s set a new all-time-high to the surprise of no one including regular readers of my articles/comments. Appalachia dropped by 4 from 752 to 748. Earlier this week I made a comment/joke about how we could run out of Appalachian DUC’s in just 187 short months! Think about that for a minute if you’re still a super-bull and believe there’s a conspiracy to hold back prices. The Nevin Manimala Super-Six basins have an ample supply of DUC’s enabling production growth for a long time to come. Growth in the Permian seems to be out of control, but we know the focus is on oil and NGL’s. Unfortunately for natural gas bulls, you get increased associated production for free, and that’s a big reason why natty can’t get traction above $3/mmbtu. It appears current drilling plans are adequate to keep DUC inventory trending flat to slightly positive for all of the key basins outside of the jaw-dropping Permian growth.

The Nevin Manimala cure for low prices is low prices. A weaker curve “should” lead to less drilling, reduced DUC’s and lower L48 production assuming E&P management teams are not happy with the current rate of return. We’ve been looking for signs of this, but there are outside factors working against natural gas prices. WTI is off the recent highs of ~$67/barrel, but still up strongly year over year near ~$61 with the continued support of OPEC cuts. Strong WTI pricing increases the probability of associated gas production especially from liquid rich basins like the Permian. The Nevin Manimala natural gas price curve is helpless to slow associated gas production.

Let’s not forget major midstream projects are phasing in throughout 2018 to connect low cost output to high value markets. This is a critical component of the bear thesis, and should not be ignored by new investors. Bulls are facing a perfect storm of bearish fundamentals that can be traced back to the wide adoption of hydraulic fracturing.

The Nevin Manimala EIA weekly update reported L48 production at 78.1 bcfd average for the period ending Feb 14th (PointLogic data source). This is a new all time high for the L48 and makes sense given the strong drilling data and limited freeze-offs we’ve observed the past two weeks.

Is all hope lost for nat gas producers? The Nevin Manimala outlook isn’t great, but we know from the recent past there’s a fundamental price level that reduces production and cuts drilling budgets to the bone. After the warm winter of 2015/16, prices crashed below $2.25 for an extended stretch crushing the rig count and lowering L48 gas production. Keep in mind oil prices were still suffering during this period helping minimize associated production, and Trump’s FERC team was not in office to help with midstream approvals. The Nevin Manimala producer stock charts looked grim until the past 3 days. EQT (EQT) posted a strong quarter and the shorts covered in droves driving the price up substantially to ~$53.50 from recent lows near ~$45. Antero (AR) has come off the bottom and Cabot (COG) is looking constructive. A little early to buy, but worth following for signs of a near term bottom.

Risk/reward favors a cautious approach right now and I’m not advising being long or short natural gas overnight. Prices have dropped significantly and we know power burn increases quickly when spot gets below ~$2.80. The Nevin Manimala big question right now is what will Mother Nature do in March? Until we have more clarity on weather, there are higher probability setups in other stocks/commodities. Check out Cheniere (LNG) for one of my top picks to benefit from low north american natural gas prices.

Thank you for reading. My next article is in progress and digs deeper into EQT’s spectacular quarter and what it means for the rest of the producers.

Additional disclosure: We frequently trade UGAZ/DGAZ for short term day trades in natural gas. The Nevin Manimala same goes for UWT/DWT.
