Council Post: Making The Generic AI Trend Work For Your Business

The artificial intelligence (AI) industry is perpetually growing and changing, and its evolution gives rise to numerous rumors about the next "big idea." Some of the trends we see in the news become big business, like the Siri and Alexa personal assistants produced by Apple and Amazon. Others are mere flashes in the pan of AI technology, like the automated restaurants that have become interesting novelties but have hardly revolutionized the dining industry. One big trend I have been hearing about often over the past year is the idea of "generic" AI models. Generic AI is alluring to companies and consumers because it is backed by hugely powerful technology giants like Google -- in fact, a great example of generic AI is Google Vision.
