Artificial Intelligence takes the World Stage

Great little article by the folks over at Business Intelligence.  Well worth your time.

AI is where the computer program is able to learn what it needs without direct input.  This is important when sets of data get so large the human cannot anticipate the needs of the computer program.  Machine learning handles the role of the human in deciding what is relevant or not.

This short piece argues AI is not coming, it is already here.  Very true.

Here is the full article:

Here is a snippet from the piece:

While AI is having an enormous impact on individuals and the smart home, perhaps its largest impact can be felt in the e-commerce space. In the increasingly cluttered e-commerce space, personalization is one of the key differentiators retailers can turn towards to stand out to consumers. In fact, retailers that have implemented personalization strategies see sales gains of 6-10%, at a rate two to three times faster than other retailers, according to a report by Boston Consulting Group.

Now if I could just get my hands on a little real intelligence, rather than artificial, I'd be all set.
