Global Big Data Conference

I keep having the same conversation with companies that want to brief me on their latest AI-related news. It goes something like this: They have some new feature or improved stats or fresh achievement that's specific to their business. Then we get to the AI part, and I start to salivate, asking them to tell me more. The reply is increasingly some version of "We use [a mostly unexciting AI tool] to do it." Being accustomed to covering technology for technology's sake, I always feel a little let down. Given how rich, complex, and world-changing AI technologies can be, I keep expecting a dazzling tale of technological magic.
