Andrew Ng is considered on of the leading thinkers in the AI space. He says that just as electricity transformed business and culture over the past 100 years, AI will similarly infiltrate every business and discipline. 100 years ago we didn’t have widespread access to electricity but once we did it transformed:
Agriculture – through the use of refrigeration
Communication – with the introduction of the telegraph and telephone
Manufacturing through the electric motor
Healthcare – lights and tools
Hard to imagine these functional areas without electricity
Surprising clear path today that AI will have a similarly transformative effect.

AI is a constellation of tools and processes that cover a wide spectrum…from Google Home and Alexa, and Echo Dot…
It is not just one thing - asking someone what the biggest problem is in AI is like asking a biologist “what’s the biggest problem in biology?”

The viscosity of data is continuing to decrease
The Industrial Internet is also generating reams of information.
Expectation is that there will be over 50,000 exabytes (each a billion GB) by the year 2020

The Internet of Things (IoT) is providing data at increasing rates – coming from myriad sources - your clothing, your appliances, your car – all creating data. Financial information, medical information, personal information – tons of it being generated on a daily basis

A world, in fact, that’s far more complex than our reptile brains can handle. The soggy, onboard 3 pound glucose driven computer is not able to keep up. We are creating more data than the human brain can collect, parse and rationalize. It is just too overwhelming!
The upcoming paradigm shift is not just a technological revolution. It’s an evolutional revolution. It’s the biggest shift in human evolution since the dawn of time that will change who we are as a species for good.
[NEXT SLIDE]
The good news is that we have concurrently created a technology – a tool – that can help us deal with this problem.
Technology has always made our lives easier, safer, faster, more comfortable. Each innovation has given us the tools to do more with less. Every technological revolution was like the next iteration of scaling human output. But we have never faced a technology that would challenge human cognition, the core of our identity. Software’s learning process is based in the way humans learn – replaying past experiences over and over to try and extract the most accurate hints on what it should do in the future. “That’s something that we know the brain does,” says Hassabis. “When you go to sleep your hippocampus replays the memory of the day back to your cortex.”
Deep-learning software attempts to mimic the activity in layers of neurons in the neocortex, the wrinkly 80 percent of the brain where thinking occurs. The software learns, in a very real sense, to recognize patterns in digital representations of sounds, images, and other data. We are doing it by modeling layers of virtual neurons. Google open-sourced its deep learning code, TensorFlow, to the public in a bid to help accelerate the development of artificial intelligence.

AI has already penetrated the Enterprise – every vertical from financial services to retail to manufacturing.
That’s because algorithms mine data from the customer’s purchasing history—in addition to reviewing patterns of likely fraud stored in its databases—and can tell whether, for example, the suspect transactions were innocent actions of a globe-hopping pilot.
What’s next? According to a patent application Walmart filed, it seems like its next step is integrating IoT tags to products in order to monitor product usage, auto replace products as necessary and monitor expiration dates or product recalls.

There are three top level categories into which AI solutions can be parsed –
Niche, prepackaged applications which are comparatively simple and inexpensive to deploy and deliver a specific functionality
Cloud-based APIs that connect to a company’s existing data and analytical tools

As is always the case in emerging technologies, there is an ecosystem and supply chain that emerges to support any new technology. AI is no different. There are many companies offering to either provide training data or collect yours and clean it and tag it so you can use it for your own training models.
Potential shortcomings include:
Insufficient or incomplete data
Unbalanced data
Misleading correlations
Inconsistent annotations
