How AI Will Accelerate IoT Solutions for Enterprise

Artificial intelligence (AI) is going mainstream, which has long-lasting implications for how enterprises build and improve their products and services. As announced at re:Invent 2016, AWS is simplifying artificial intelligence (AI) adoption through three low-cost, cloud-based services built for AI-specific uses cases. Instead of creating proprietary algorithms, data models or machine learning techniques, all levels of developers from Global 2000 enterprises through start-ups can leverage the Amazon Lex, Amazon Rekognition and Amazon Polly APIs to innovate quickly and build new Internet of Things (IoT) product and service offerings. Accenture, is delivering these innovative offerings by supporting clients with vertical industry applications powered by Amazon AI. Combining AI with IoT is essential because it enables businesses to collect data in the physical world–from wearables, appliances, automobiles, mobile phones, sensors and other devices--and add intelligence to deliver a better response or outcome.
