AI Supercomputers: Microsoft Oxford, IBM Watson, Google DeepMind, Baidu Minwa

The Artificial Intelligence revolution is here. We are moving further into an age, where the imagination stirred from our childhood spent watching movies, is now becoming reality. Leading us into this age are the typical (and untypical) tech giants, who are fiercely competing for the next break through. Project Oxford is Microsoft's venture into the world of artificial intelligence and deep learning. It takes in several key areas, including image, facial, text and speech recognition, and hopes to implement the technology into its computer operating systems and smartphone software.
