Need Some AI? Yeah, There's a Marketplace for That – WIRED

Oren Etzioni, CEO of the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence and an investor in Algorithmia, believes these algorithm can help transform deep learning from a "dark art" practiced only by the giants of the Internet into a technology used by "the 99 percent." Dennis R. Mortensen, the CEO and founder of the artificial intelligence startup x.ai, agrees--up to a point. He adds that these algorithms serve only some needs. As he points out, other companies are providing more complex tools for building deep learning systems, including Google, which recently open sourced a deep learning software engine called TensorFlow. He also points out that deep learning requires enormous amounts of data for training.
