6 Ways Artificial Intelligence Will Shape Your Digital Marketing… Digital Brinq
Artificial intelligence is currently revolutionizing the business world -- and it's just as quickly transforming virtually every element of digital marketing. For marketing leaders, the growth of artificial intelligence (AI) means less guesswork and more efficiency. Marketers should expect to use AI in guiding and implementing every element of their marketing strategy -- from the initial research stages to carrying out automated media buys and providing targeted customer service.

With the introduction of artificial intelligence, that guesswork is starting to drastically decrease.

Birth Of An Industry: Early Investing Hot Spots In Artificial Intelligence
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that the cutting-edge technologies known as artificial intelligence will transform many U.S. industries. But, it takes a savvy investor to sort through the technology's early possibilities. Even the biggest tech names have yet to see their AI-related revenue growth take off, and the market is still waiting to see any real pure-play AI stock plays. But the rapidly developing technologies are starting to contribute sales to a handful of companies, while driving others to modify their products and technology platforms to tap into AI's possibilities. At a basic level, artificial intelligence is the use of computer algorithms to attempt to replicate the human ability to learn, reason and make decisions.

AI Weekly: Voice is the killer interface VentureBeat AI
This week's news reminds me how much fun it is to be surprised by technology. Yesterday, the Paris-based AI startup raised $13 million, on top of an earlier $8 million investment, for technology that let developers put a voice assistant on nearly any device. Add this to recent advances from Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple Siri, and it's obvious that voice is becoming the new interface much sooner than many people, including yours truly, ever anticipated. These are exponential leaps forward in the steady progress from command-based interfaces to conversational ones. It's as if the machines themselves are disappearing -- the "thing" we're conversing with is some crazy fantastic blend of artificial intelligence, super computer, bandwidth, and what have you, that we never see.
