Vote for AI Innovation of the Year: Seattle's artificial intelligence clout featured at the GeekWire Awards

Artificial intelligence is one of the Seattle area's fastest-growing tech frontiers, so it only makes sense for the field to get its own category at the GeekWire Awards. Recognizing innovations in AI and its allied technologies, ranging from computer vision to machine learning and natural language processing, has always been a part of the big part of the awards, of course. In fact, some of 2019's contenders for the top AI prize have shown up as finalists in previous years. The split shines a tighter spotlight on two areas of technology where the Pacific Northwest stands out. The five finalists in this new category -- Highspot, Mighty AI, Olis Robotics, Textio and Xnor -- have already made names for themselves.
