Mapping the AI Toolchain Bringing AI to the next wave of developers

The first wave of artificial intelligence has been about experts: brilliant technologists doing cutting-edge research and building advanced systems in places like Silicon Valley. The second wave of AI will be about practitioners: traditional developers becoming AI rockstars and addressing a wide range of business problems. Access to AI will be democratized. During this transition, we believe AI – particularly deep learning – will begin to resemble a general-purpose computing platform, a topic we explored in a recent Forbes article. But a new set of tools will be necessary to make that vision a reality.
