Wanted: AI leaders

This may come as a surprise, but people are still the most valuable resource available in the realm of artificial intelligence. When it comes to investing in AI, start by filling talent gaps in machine learning, cognitive science, analytics and infrastructure. Many companies are trying to recruit early from universities, but should invest in the existing workforce as well. They should support opportunities for education and training, and form consulting relationships with technology firms. While some organizations are focused on the most impressive deep learning applications, leaders are looking for a variety of AI capabilities that can readily advance their business objectives across the entire enterprise.
