Three key challenges that could derail your AI project ZDNet

It's been abundantly clear for a while that in 2017, artificial intelligence (AI) is going to be front and center of vendor and enterprise interest. Not that AI is new - it's been around for decades as a computer science discipline. What's different now is that advances in technology have made it possible for companies ranging from search engine providers to camera and smartphone manufacturers to deliver AI-enabled products and services, many of which have become an integral part of many people's daily lives. More than that, those same AI techniques and building blocks are increasingly available for enterprises to leverage in their own products and services without needing to bring on board AI experts, a breed that's rare and expensive. The next wave of IT innovation will be powered by artificial intelligence and machine learning.
