New developments in automation, hardware, model development, and more that will shape AI in 2020. Roger Magoulas, VP of Radar at O'Reilly takes a look at the new developments in automation, hardware, tools, model development, and more that will shape (or accelerate) AI in 2020. We see the AI space poised for an acceleration in adoption, driven by more sophisticated AI models being put in production, specialised hardware that increases AI's capacity to provide quicker results based on larger datasets, simplified tools that democratise access to the entire AI stack, small tools that enables AI on nearly any device, and cloud access to AI tools that allow access to AI resources from anywhere. Integrating data from many sources, complex business and logic challenges, and competitive incentives to make data more useful all combine to elevate AI and automation technologies from optional to required. And AI processes have unique capabilities that can address an increasingly diverse array of automation tasks--tasks that defy what traditional procedural logic and programming can handle, for example, image recognition, summarisation, labeling, complex monitoring, and response.
