Looking to Build AI Credibility, Fujitsu Explores Novel Technologies

IT giant Fujitsu has been developing a series of in-house technologies aimed at the burgeoning market of artificial intelligence and machine learning. Although the company has made less fanfare of its ambitions in this regard than companies like IBM, Google and Microsoft, the Japanese multinational seems intent on expanding its datacenter business into this new high-value segment. The step-up in AI focus has been especially noticeable over the past several months, where hardly week went by without an announcement of a new technology or use case. In fact, Fujitsu has issued no less than 15 press releases on AI or machine learning since the beginning of 2016. Most are the result of technologies developed at Fujitsu Laboratories.
