Two words you'll have heard a lot of over the past year or so. It's been such a popular term that it even made Word of the Year for 2017. But there is a much more to it than being a large part of Trump's vocabulary. This is a'uge problem that needs to be addressed and tackled. So, what is it then?

Despite its widespread adoption, Artificial Intelligence still has a long way to go in terms of diversity and inclusion. We try to write a lot about the positive ways in which Artificial Intelligence and other technologies are impacting our world. It's a subject close to our hearts as a company, and quite frankly, something that should be celebrated and shouted about given all the doom and gloom we're so often bombarded with in today's media. From healthcare, and sustainable cities, to climate change and industry, investment in AI is making an impact in many areas. Applications of machine learning and deep learning help shape the trajectories of our daily lives, so much so that we are barely even aware of it.

Artificial Intelligence is often overlooked as being a general-purpose application technology that already inhabits many aspects of our lives. We're bombarded with prophecies of the'future' of AI, Skynet-inspired stories and doomsday divinations. But what about the way in which AI is already integrated into our daily lives and has improved our current technologies? Whether we're wanting to find directions to the nearest cafe or settle a debate, Siri, Cortana and Alexa (among others), have our backs. Intelligent personal assistants are at our disposal.
