Why the U.S. is Falling Behind in AI and Autonomous Drive Tech, Part 1

Embedded Computing Design recently conducted targeted industry research on the prevalence of machine learning and artificial intelligence in the development community. Much to our surprise, more than 75 percent of the respondents are already researching or using AI in one capacity or another. Now, AI and machine learning are not new, and the questions didn't specify whether respondents were indicating the use of time-honored techniques like principle component analysis, decision trees, etc. On the other hand, modern AI/ML is becoming synonymous with neural networking, so I took the results at face value. One important note, however, is that the respondents were evenly distributed geographically.
