Lenovo Brings AI to Life

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning technologies have turned the IT industry on its head, offering enterprises the ability to transform their approach to business strategy and customer insights, and research institutions to pursue humanity's biggest challenges. Once considered an abstract technology that was primarily championed by hyperscale companies (like Google, Microsoft, Baidu etc), it is encouraging to now see startups and larger enterprises alike across a variety of industries explore unique AI applications to solve business problems and scientific challenges. From assisting in healthcare diagnoses, to predicting when things like a jet engine is in need of maintenance, and assisting in crime prevention, the potential for innovation with AI is nearly endless. It's even touching the average consumer's daily life, as well: Facebook's suggested photo tagging feature, for example, uses AI to recognize who's who in your pictures. Of course, AI does have its pain points and a key challenge for businesses today is the ability to differentiate between what's hype and what's reality.
