Thanks to AI, the Year Ahead Will be Highly Visual - RTInsights

AI and machine learning will exploit new hardware and growing capabilities in visual data capture and analysis in the coming year. The year ahead will literally be marked with greater clarity than ever before, thanks to the accelerating convergence of hardware and systems that extend our visual capabilities with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. Thus, one of the most compelling trends for 2019 will be the rise of visually oriented AI as the latest driving force behind the real-time enterprise. In 2018, we saw the introduction of products such as Netvue's Belle, an AI-powered, camera-enabled doorbell that can recognize the identities of guests, and greet them accordingly. Look for more innovative applications along these lines that extend to the business sector -- not only recognizing and greeting customers but also gauging their sentiment.
