We may be years away from the "AI-enabled Coworker," but the first implementations of machine-learning capabilities are finding their way into the everyday data-analysis tools used by businesses of all types. Cognitive assistance promises to reshape business processes, but only if app development and deployment tools are adapted to support machine learning. While it has become fashionable to hypeAIas the next game-changing technology promising to have an impact greater than either mobile or cloud, the reality is that machine learning will be a long time coming to everyday business analytics. As with any sea change, cognition is likely to sneak its way into applications and processes in drips and drops. It looks like 2017 could be the year many businesses get their first hands-on experience with cognitive-learning business apps.

The U.S. State Department generates some two billion e-mails every year. A significant fraction of these contain sensitive or secret information and so have to be classified, a process that is time-consuming and costly. In 2015 alone, it spent $16 billion to protect classified information. But the reliability of this process of classification is unclear. Nobody knows whether the rules for classifying information are applied consistently and reliably.

While reading about the City of L.A.'s Security Operations Center's use of artificial intelligence, I became intrigued by the beneficial analogs that sales organizations can derive by implementing chatbots. The ComputerWorld article that I reference is not directly sales and marketing related. However, it does demonstrate the value of having artificial intelligence ala chatbots when trying to meet customer demand at scale for your sales, support, and customer service inquiries. That seems like an overwhelmingly large number, especially when you read that their command center is staffed with only eight cyber threat analysts per shift in their around the clock operations to handle threats in realtime. While they don't go into detail about their A.I. system, I can appreciate the huge uplift that A.I. gives to their threat assessment and response in terms of efficiency and effectiveness.

Making the Artificial Intelligent So where to start? Is it even possible to go from wetware to... "No diet will remove all the fat from your body because the brain is entirely fat. Brain imaging techniques (the new phrenology?!) Pretending we know more than we do is not the way forward... ...especially at high speed This is our chance to change what it means to be human Adjacent Possible "Chance favours only the prepared mind" Between 30% and 50% of all scientific discoveries are accidental in some sense sagacious "Scientists are not passive recipients of the unexpected; rather, they actively create the conditions for discovering the unexpected" Kevin Dunbar and Jonathan Fugelsang "premature mystery reduction" Is it any wonder people are worried? Technology and AI have the potential to become an intimate part of our brains, bodies and lives and that's why I call it... how we think about technology ...and so nurture two of the factors that make humans intelligent Empathy frame I believe we can Re Curiosity Narrowcasting "My primary goal of hacking was the intellectual curiosity, the seduction of adventure" Kevin Mitnick By extending our empathy and developing our curiosity we will be more.... Rather than AI being feared, it may be something that could change the fundamental nature of what it is to be human; akin to Prometheus taking fire from the gods.

It seems like we've perennially been on the edge of major breakthroughs in AI (artificial intelligence), virtual reality, personal robots, and other such cool tech for the past two decades. The first set of science fiction imaginings came true rather rapidly -- think trans-continental air travel, space stations, even drone warfare -- but it appears that the emergence of next-gen tech wizardry has stalled. But while we still can't chat with the on-board computer on our personal spaceship, artificial intelligence is far more pervasive in our daily lives today than most of us realize. As anyone who has trained their mobile phone assistant can attest, years of painstaking research and investment in artificial intelligence technologies is starting to yield impressive results. Siri can predict our commute patterns, Microsoft Cortana warns us of bad weather, and the Google Assistant diligently sets calendar reminders with the impassive demeanor of an English butler of yore.

I spent the last three months learning about every artificial intelligence, machine learning, or data related startup I could find -- my current list has 2,529 of them to be exact. A few years ago, investors and startups were chasing "big data" (I helped put together a landscape on that industry). Now we're seeing a similar explosion of companies calling themselves artificial intelligence, machine learning, or somesuch -- collectively I call these "machine intelligence" (I'll get into the definitions in a second). Our fund, Bloomberg Beta, which is focused on the future of work, has been investing in these approaches. I created this landscape to start to put startups into context.

Andrew Heikkila is a tech enthusiast and writer from Boise, Idaho. "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears…in…rain. Time to die." -- Roy Batty, Blade Runner Artificial intelligence has fascinated mankind for more than half a century, with the first public mention of computer intelligence recorded during a London lecture by Alan Turing in 1947.

Callison-Burch's group is using a combination of natural-language processing and human review to build a database of information on gun violence, much like the one that the MIT researchers' system was trained to produce. "We've crawled millions and millions of news articles, and then we pick out ones that the text classifier thinks are related to gun violence, and then we have humans start doing information extraction manually," he says. "Having a model like Regina's that would allow us to predict whether or not this article corresponded to one that we've already annotated would be a huge time savings. It's something that I'd be very excited to do in the future."
