AI's open source model is closed, inadequate, and outdated

Kumar Srivastava is a vice president of product and strategy at BNY Mellon. Enterprises that have experience with machine learning are looking to graduate to Artificial Intelligence based technologies. Enterprises that have yet to build a machine learning expertise are scrambling to understand and devise a machine learning and AI strategy. In the midst of the hype, confusion, paranoia and the risk of left behind, the slew of open source contribution announcements from companies like Google, Facebook, Baidu, Microsoft (through projects such as Tensorflow, BigSur, Torch, SciKit, Caffe, CNTK, DMTK, Deeplearning4j, H2O, Mahout, MLLib, NuPIC, OpenNN etc.) offer an obvious approach to getting started with AI & ML especially for enterprises outside the technology industry. Find the project, download, install…should be easy.
