An AI Engineer Walks Into A Data Shop...

An AI-focused neural network software engineer walks into a data shop says hello to the shopkeeper. "I'll have two data preparation functions, one testing and debugging toolset, a couple of application log tracking systems and a bag of potatoes," asks the engineer. Okay it's not a great joke, there's no punchline and the potatoes part is definitely just a ruse, but the way we might build the Artificial Intelligence (AI) functions of tomorrow has a kind of composabe, package-able feel. If it's not quite off-the-shelf AI, then its composable AI that brings together some of the core functions that smart systems use regularly. It's still down to our neural network engineer to know the recipe and peel the spuds, but we can start to shop for many of the individual components needed now.
