How to become an AI-driven company

AI is transforming how we do business at an unprecedented pace, but the transition to becoming AI-driven is easier than you think. Now is the time to invest and remain at the top of your game. A few weeks ago Artificial Intelligence was thrown into the spotlight as the winners of this year's Turing award, widely known as computing's "Nobel Prize", were announced. Yoshua Bengio, Geoffrey Hinton and Yann LeCun were recognized for their pioneering work over a 30-year period on AI. In the 80s, when AI research was very unfashionable, the trio were motivated by the idea of creating algorithms that could operate, at least at the level of metaphor, like a brain. Neurons in the brain work as an ensemble, together learning internal representations of the input they observe, and these researchers believed their artificial neural networks could do the same.
