Exposing AI's 1% Problem

We see the power of artificial intelligence every day: When Netflix recommends a movie you love, when your bank detects fraud in your account, or when Google routes you around a traffic jam. But outside of examples from mammoth companies with millions to spend on data science initiatives, there's a decided lack of AI success among the rest of us.

It turns out, those organizations are struggling mightily, and he wonders why more people aren't talking about it.
