Two branches of sound-related machine learning are emerging: sound detection and analysis, and AI-powered sound creation. In industries such as security, health care, retail, and media production, these acoustic technologies have significant potential for business value creation. The author describes several applications of sound detection and analysis technologies powered by machine learning and suggests ways business leaders can capitalize on them.

Businesses have lacked robust tools to detect, measure, and manage smells in a scientific way until now. Two emerging branches of digital olfaction technology one focused on the digital detection and analysis of different odors, and the other on the digital transmission and re-creation of smells could potentially revolutionize a range of industries. The authors outline a variety of use cases for olfactory technologies, along with actions businesses can take to capitalize on them.

From Asia to the Americas, populations are getting older, and so far, business and policy leaders have done little to prepare for it.

For example, one myth is that 'Older consumers are an unattractive demographic for marketers.' The authors debunk this and six other myths and show how to embrace this burgeoning market.
