How is Europe tracking with AI? A look at 3 leaders - TechHQ

Overhyped or not, AI (artificial intelligence) poses some serious cross-industry potential. Elements of it are already in use in our daily lives, from voice-powered personal assistants, suggestive searches and, soon at least, autonomous vehicle technology -- although, much of what generally put under the AI umbrella is, in fact, machine learning. The technology's power is in its ability to paw through the massive and increasing volumes of data in our grips, inferring past patterns and outcomes, and ultimately learning and improving from past'experiences' without being programmed. It has vast potential to enhance products, services, and operations, from recommending a show that you'll like on Netflix to facial recognition systems. The race is on to reap those advantages, not just between competing organizations, but between countries as well that are aware of just how these advances will boost their overall economic productivity in the years to come.
