The Mainstreaming of Machine Learning Ayasdi

Last week on the Alphabet earnings call Sundar Pichai made several explicit references to machine learning. This is meaningful on several levels and is also a warning shot for entire industries who don't view Google as a competitor (but should). "I also want to point out that our investments in machine learning and artificial intelligence are a priority for us. Machine learning has long powered things like voice search, translation and much more. And our machine learning is hard at work in mobile services like Now on Tap which quickly assist you by providing additional useful information for whatever you are doing, right in the moment, anywhere on your phone."
