The Japan AI Experience and Why Japan is the Fastest Growing Adopter of AI

According to IDC Research, Japan has the highest projected growth of artificial intelligence (AI) at 74% (5-year CAGR). DataRobot, pioneers of automated machine learning and a visionary principle of the 4th Industrial Revolution, saw this firsthand at last week's AI Experience conference in Tokyo. Attended by some 800 business executives and data scientists, the event delivered a deep dive on automated machine learning both from the technology's authors and its users. It is evident that this technology has come of age and offers a practical business solution to organizations looking to innovate through big data. Pop culture may have a big role to play in the high level of interest in AI in Japan.
