How machine learning and AI will impact your marketing forever (VB Live)

It's the Law of Accelerating Returns: When tech pundits try to predict the future, they always underestimate. The scientific reasoning: The more advanced a technology is, the faster it can progress -- precisely because it's more advanced. Just take a look at not only the progress of artificial intelligence and machine learning, but its proliferation of use cases, which is moving inevitably into the marketing realm. And this is the kind of growth explosion you want to be at the forefront of. It's why here at the tail end of 2016, we've watched over 200 AI-focused companies raise nearly $1.5 billion in funding, and have seen a 6X increase in equity deals to AI startups from 70ish in 2011 to almost 400 in 2015.
