Box Skills product announcement by the Box product team, BoxWorks 2017

Jeetu Patel, Chief Product Officer at Box, announced the release of the new machine-learning-focused product Box Skills at BoxWorks 2017. To kick off this 25-minute product announcement, Box CEO Aaron Levie talks about the background for Box Skills -- a technology climate heavily influenced by the rise in mobile devices, the power of cloud computing, the unstoppable growth of the internet and the recent focus on machine-learning applications. We're seeing these trends converge in our personal lives in things like virtual personal assistants (Alexa, Siri), but personal applications are just the start for machine learning. Technology in the enterprise is where AI and machine learning will fundamentally change the way we use information in the cloud. Over the past few years, there has been a tremendous amount of innovation (and spending) around machine learning, specifically to solve business-case problems for things like voice recognition and image recognition.
