2 Bureau of Labor Statistics 2014 Private Construction Industry Saw A Net Increase Of 25 Fatal Work Injuries Fatal Injuries In Private Mining, Quarrying, Oil and Gas Extraction Rose To 183 Highest Since 2007 Fatalities among age 55 year olds increased by 70, the largest number ever recorded for this group of workers. Are You Aware That?? 1 Person is Electrocuted every 24 Hours in the US at Home NESF National Electrical Safety Foundation 1 Person is Electrocuted every 36 hours in the US at Maintenance and Construction Sites NESF Over 2 Billion Dollars of Loss or Damaged Property Every year In The US Due To Electrical Fires NESF Electrocution remains the fourth (2nd) highest cause of industrial fatalities (2014 BLS) Current Level Probable Effect On Human Body 1 ma Perception level. Slight tingling sensation. Still dangerous under certain conditions. 5 ma Slight shock felt; not painful but disturbing. Average individual can let go. However, strong involuntary reactions to shocks in this range may lead to injuries ma ma Painful shock, begin to lose muscular control. Commonly referred to as the freezing current or let go range. Extreme pain, respiratory arrest, severe muscular contractions. Individual cannot let go of an electrified object. Death is possible ,000 ma Ventricular fibrillation (uneven, uncoordinated pumping of heart). Muscular contraction and nerve damage begin to occur. Death is likely. 2,000+ ma Cardiac arrest, internal organ damage, and severe burns. Death is probable. Source: OSHA 2

11 Artificial Intelligence Teach Software to think like a human Example Logic Tree Artificial Intelligence Healthcare symptoms will be cross checked in your area identify outbreaks and epidemics sooner Symptom shortness of breath your phone s heart rate monitor will instantly report how well your heart has functioned over the last month via your smart phone. Those readings compared aggregated with others in your community, revealing hidden trends. Big data analysis will be used to assess various treatment options based on success with others of similar histories and body chemistry. Artificial Intelligence 11
