The Data Science Behind AI

Summary: For those of you traditional data scientist who are interested in AI but still haven't given it a deep dive, here's a high level overview of the data science technologies that combine into what the popular press calls artificial intelligence (AI). We and others have written quite a bit about the various types of data science that make up AI. Still I hear many folks asking about AI as if it were a single entity. AI is a collection of data science technologies that at this point in development are not even particularly well integrated or even easy to use. In each of these areas however, we've made a lot of progress and that's caught the attention of the popular press.
