Artificial Intelligence Helping to Grow Austin's Tech Industry

AUSTIN, Texas --Austin's growing tech sector includes an increasing number of companies focusing on artificial intelligence. SparkCognition is securing big money to invest in the technology's future. Vijay Doradla, SparkCognition's chief business officer, showed off a new joint venture between SparkCognition and Boeing called SkyGrid. "The vision of SkyGrid is to autonomously provision a drone from taking off, flying, and automatically managing the route as well as rerouting if there are any conflicts in that route," Doradla said. Doradla says it works like air traffic control, but for drones.
