Business intelligence (BI) tools first appeared on the enterprise technology scene several decades ago, at birth clumsy and difficult to use but ultimately improving the flow of data through organizations from their operational systems to decision support. Data warehousing cut the time it took to access data, but even at their full maturity, BI systems could do little more than produce data and reports in a traditional organized way. But with the advancement of artificial intelligence and--more importantly--machine learning, true business intelligence is actually on its way to the enterprise. Such self-learning software will run on servers, be built into bots, drive decision-making systems, be embedded into cars or aircraft, and become the beating heart of mobile devices. Increased data-processing power, the availability of big data, the Internet of Things, and improvements in algorithms are converging to power this actual business intelligence.

Google is going to arrive in style in 2017. The tech titan has exciting plans for the maker community. It intends to make a range of smart tools available this year. Google's range of AI and machine learning technology could enable makers to build even more powerful projects. To make this happen, Google needs help from the maker community.

The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative is getting some help from artificial intelligence. The philanthropic organization, founded by Facebook (fb) CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan in 2015, will buy Meta, a startup focusing on artificial intelligence and related data analytic technology in the healthcare industry. The deal was disclosed in a Facebook post Monday by Chan Zuckerberg Initiative president of science Cornelia Bargmann and the organization's CTO Brian Pinkerton. Terms of the deal were not revealed. Meta specializes in using artificial intelligence technologies like natural language processing and machine learning to sift through millions of scientific and technology papers and identify which papers should presumably be most important to health-care professionals.

Artificial intelligence is likely going to change our world like no other technology ever has. AI might steal our jobs. But what we know for sure is that 2017 is the year artificial intelligence is hitting the mainstream. Smart assistants like Alexa, Cortana, Siri, and Google Assistant live on our phones and in our homes. AI is influencing what we find in Google search results and what we see in the Facebook news feed.

AI is also being used in other areas of healthcare including analyzing data to help patients take their medications on time, manage diabetes and improve clinical practices in mental health. "Artificial intelligence can help providers gain insights about their patients, their treatments and their workflow that they could never have known on their own" said Harpreet Singh Buttar, transformational health industry analyst at Mountain View, California-based, research firm Frost & Sullivan. He added that by using this technology, doctors will achieve their population health management goals as they make better decisions at a much faster rate. Furthermore, computational computing can be applied to many data sets associated with population health management including data registries, electronic health records, data generated from team care, as well as claims data, information gleaned from hospital readmissions and data related to social determinants that have a significant impact on patient populations. Frost & Sullivan estimates that the market for AI will grow from earned revenues of $634 million in 2014 to $6.6 billion in 2021 at a compound annual growth rate of 40%.

Researchers at the Google Brain artificial intelligence have designed a machine learning system that can develop machine learning software. Interestingly, when compared, it exceeded the results from the ones designed by humans. According to Jeff Dean, who leads the Google Brain research group, such exertion could supplant some of the work from the workers and enhance the pace of the implementation of the AI software in different fields of economy. "Currently the way you solve problems is you have expertise and data and computation," said Dean, at the AI Frontiers conference in Santa Clara, California. "Can we eliminate the need for a lot of machine-learning expertise?"

In yet another episode of man versus machine, an artificial intelligence developed by Carnegie Melon University has been absolutely dismantling a team of professional poker players, accumulating a staggering lead of almost $800,000. The showdown takes place as part of the "Brains vs. Artificial Intelligence" competition which pits a group of four poker pros against the crafty supercomputer Libratus in a heads-up game of No-Limit Texas Hold'em slated to continue for 120,000 hands. Last year, Facebook's VP of Design thought the TNW Conference main stage was the best she'd ever been on. Since January 11 when the contest initially kicked off, the players have now passed the midway point of the the race, having completed almost 65,000 hands in total. What is more intriguing is that so far Libratus has managed to keep an impressive lead over its human opponents, stacking up a profit of $794,392.
