A variety of companies are starting new artificial intelligence companies. Baidu's partnership deal with China Huaneng to develop intelligent energy is another notable acquisition. It seems like everyone is keen to see the future in artificial intelligence. Which companies are making the greatest progress in artificial intelligence?
Google has started 12 new companies specializing in artificial intelligence
Despite the recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), this technology isn't a panacea for all your business problems. The technology is being used in many industries but it can be difficult to implement. Companies must have deep domain knowledge to address these problems. This includes learning about potential customers' data systems, value chains, and other relevant information. This will allow them to demonstrate that their AI solutions can work at scale.
DeepMind Technologies. DeepMind Technologies (founded in 2010 in Britain), is an artificial intelligence company that was acquired in 2014 by Google. The company maintains several research centers across the United States, Canada and France. Its AI technology helps solve problems in science and healthcare.
Habana Labs acquired by Intel
Intel Corporation has announced the acquisition of Israeli-based startup Habana Labs. Habana develops programmable deep learning accelerators for data centers. The deal is expected be worth between $1 billion-$2 billion. This acquisition will expand Intel's AI offerings as well as its product portfolio.
The deal will allow Intel and Habana to continue their research and development efforts. Intel also committed to keeping Habana’s existing management team intact, but the new company would continue to operate as an independent entity. The acquisition won't affect the company’s developers, and it will focus on its own development. Intel is home to several factories and development centers in Israel. It recently purchased Mobileye (an auto-tech startup) for $15 billion.
IBM acquired Instana
IBM has purchased a startup that specializes on applications performance management to increase its AI portfolio. Instana is based in Chicago and its technology allows it collect billions upon billions of metrics daily. Instana's software is available in both a SaaS (software as a service) and an on-premises model. It can be used to monitor and control applications running on OpenShift.
Instana, an AI-powered platform that allows organizations to manage cloud-native apps, is available for purchase. It uses AI to build context understanding and give actionable insights to improve application performance. It can also help identify IT problems that could hurt a business and lower customer satisfaction.
FAQ
What do you think AI will do for your job?
AI will eventually eliminate certain jobs. This includes drivers, taxi drivers as well as cashiers and workers in fast food restaurants.
AI will bring new jobs. This includes jobs like data scientists, business analysts, project managers, product designers, and marketing specialists.
AI will make existing jobs much easier. This includes jobs like accountants, lawyers, doctors, teachers, nurses, and engineers.
AI will improve the efficiency of existing jobs. This includes jobs like salespeople, customer support representatives, and call center, agents.
What does AI do?
An algorithm is a set of instructions that tells a computer how to solve a problem. An algorithm can be described as a sequence of steps. Each step is assigned a condition which determines when it should be executed. The computer executes each step sequentially until all conditions meet. This process repeats until the final result is achieved.
For example, let's say you want to find the square root of 5. If you wanted to find the square root of 5, you could write down every number from 1 through 10. Then calculate the square root and take the average. That's not really practical, though, so instead, you could write down the following formula:
sqrt(x) x^0.5
This means that you need to square your input, divide it with 2, and multiply it by 0.5.
This is how a computer works. It takes the input and divides it. Then, it multiplies that number by 0.5. Finally, it outputs its answer.
What are some examples AI applications?
AI is used in many areas, including finance, healthcare, manufacturing, transportation, energy, education, government, law enforcement, and defense. Here are just a few examples:
-
Finance - AI is already helping banks to detect fraud. AI can detect suspicious activity in millions of transactions each day by scanning them.
-
Healthcare - AI can be used to spot cancerous cells and diagnose diseases.
-
Manufacturing – Artificial Intelligence is used in factories for efficiency improvements and cost reductions.
-
Transportation - Self driving cars have been successfully tested in California. They are currently being tested around the globe.
-
Utility companies use AI to monitor energy usage patterns.
-
Education - AI has been used for educational purposes. Students can communicate with robots through their smartphones, for instance.
-
Government - Artificial Intelligence is used by governments to track criminals and terrorists as well as missing persons.
-
Law Enforcement – AI is being utilized as part of police investigation. Detectives can search databases containing thousands of hours of CCTV footage.
-
Defense - AI systems can be used offensively as well defensively. Artificial intelligence systems can be used to hack enemy computers. Protect military bases from cyber attacks with AI.
How will governments regulate AI
The government is already trying to regulate AI but it needs to be done better. They need to make sure that people control how their data is used. They must also ensure that AI is not used for unethical purposes by companies.
They must also ensure that there is no unfair competition between types of businesses. For example, if you're a small business owner who wants to use AI to help run your business, then you should be allowed to do that without facing restrictions from other big businesses.
