Infuse Artificial Intelligence Into Business Processes With APIs - DZone AI

Few terms are hotter today than "artificial intelligence" -- but what exactly does it mean in the real world? On one hand, AI conjures up images of The Terminator, HAL 9000, or other sci-fi scenarios. On the other hand is AI as a force of supreme good or intellectual curiosity, something like IBM's Watson or chess-playing supercomputers. The reality, of course, is somewhere in between. Artificial intelligence is already powering the programs behind many commonplace tools and activities. For example, Google includes machine learning within its search algorithm now, allowing the search engine to tweak itself over time.
