Machine Learning Trends and the Future of Artificial Intelligence 2016 - Algorithmia

Every company is now a data company, capable of using machine learning in the cloud to deploy intelligent apps at scale, thanks to three machine learning trends: data flywheels, the algorithm economy, and cloud-hosted intelligence. That was the takeaway from the inaugural Machine Learning / Artificial Intelligence Summit, hosted by Madrona Venture Group* last month in Seattle, where more than 100 experts, researchers, and journalists converged to discuss the future of artificial intelligence, trends in machine learning, and how to build smarter applications. With hosted machine learning models, companies can now quickly analyze large, complex data, and deliver faster, more accurate insights without the high cost of deploying and maintaining machine learning systems. "Every successful new application built today will be an intelligent application," Soma Somasegar said, venture partner at Madrona Venture Group. "Intelligent building blocks and learning services will be the brains behind apps."
