Every artificial intelligence(AI) problem is a new universe of complexities and unique challenges. Very often, the most challenging aspects of solving an AI problem is not about finding a solution but understanding the problem itself. As paradoxically as that sounds, even the most experienced AI experts have been guilty of rushing into proposing deep learning algorithms and exoteric optimization techniques without fully understanding the problem at hand. When we think about an AI problem, we tend to link our reasoning to two main aspects: datasets and models. However, that reasoning is ignoring what can be considered the most challenging aspect of an AI problem: the environment.

Artificial intelligence is probably the greatest transformative technology of our generation. Experts predict that the value of the AI market will reach over $266 billion by 2027, representing an 880% increase compared to 2019. As exciting as AI innovation might be from a practical viewpoint, there are also some issues to consider when it comes to ethics in AI. AI is a technology that aims to enhance and unlock human potential. It is here to augment or replicate problem-solving and decision-making capabilities that require a certain level of "human intelligence".

Tackling a machine learning problem might feel overwhelming at first. What model to choose?, which architecture might work best? In a process that is mostly driven by trial and error experimentation, those decisions result incredibly important. One aspect that really helps to navigate that universe of decisions is to clearly understand the nature of the problem. In machine learning scenarios, an important part of understanding the problem is based on understanding its environment.

DevOps has been widely embraced by businesses under pressure to get competitively advantageous digital deliverables to market at the fastest possible cadence--especially given the reality of limited coder headcount and the need to rigorously avoid brand-toxic snafus in the customer experience. Artificial intelligence (AI), in stark contrast, is a potentially transformative digital discipline that is still very new to most enterprise IT organizations. But while it's certainly important that CIOs nurture AI adoption with appropriately resourced pilots, it's also essential to link nascent AI efforts to maturing DevOps concept-to-production pipelines. "AI" has become a catch-all term to describe a broad range of algorithm-based disciplines such as machine learning and natural language processing capable of discovering patterns, trends and anomalies in large volumes of diverse data. Given the wealth of data increasingly available to businesses, this AI-based discovery can potentially deliver significant benefits--from anticipating customer needs to identifying emerging market risk.

NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ:NXPI) announced a comprehensive, easy-to-use machine learning (ML) environment for building innovative applications with cutting-edge capabilities. Customers can now easily implement ML functionality on NXP's breadth of devices from low-cost microcontrollers (MCUs) to breakthrough crossover i.MX RT processors and high-performance application processors. The ML environment provides turnkey enablement for choosing the optimum execution engine from among Arm Cortex cores to high-performance GPU/DSP (Graphics Processing Unit/Digital Signal Processor) complexes and tools for deploying machine learning models, including neural nets, on those engines. Embedded Artificial Intelligence (AI) is quickly becoming an essential capability for edge processing, gives'smart' devices an ability to become'aware' of its surroundings and make decisions on the input received with little or no human intervention. NXP's ML environment enables fast-growing machine learning use-cases in vision, voice, and anomaly detections.

NXP's ML environment enables fast-growing machine learning use-cases in vision, voice, and anomaly detections. The vision-based ML applications utilize cameras as inputs to the various machine learning algorithms of which neural networks are the most popular. These applications span most market segments and perform functions such as object recognition, identification, people-counting and others. Voice Activated Devices (VADs) are driving the need for machine learning at the edge for wake word detection, natural language processing, and for'voice as the user-interface' applications.

The first automobile was driven down the streets of Detroit in 1890. It would take another 30 years before Henry Ford streamlined production and made cars available to the mass market. The obvious lesson: sometimes technology has a long gestation period, before we can scale it for everyday use. But, digging a bit deeper, there is a more profound lesson. Over the first hundred years of the self-propelled vehicle, essential building blocks were established – standard components like the combustion engine, steering wheel, and axel.

As the expression goes, "There's no AI without IA." In other words, enthusiasm for AI has led many to jump in head first. But without a strong technology foundation, companies could be setting themselves up for obstacles. The evolution of the auto industry is similar in form to the currently nascent world of artificial intelligence. And like the auto industry, in order for AI to flourish, organizations must adopt and embrace a prerequisite set of conditions, or building blocks.
