According to GlobalData's report, the number companies that Apple have bought from the years 2016 to 2020, makes it the tech giant having ownership of most amount of AI companies.The reason why these tech giants are so focused into AI and its associated companies is because AI is pretty much the main focus these days and it is well known that the future of the tech world lies in AI, that is the reason why the market of Artificial Intelligence is in so much chaos these days, so every other company out there wants to overpower the other with their AI developments leading to a major competition in the market at the moment. Amazon's Alexa, Google's Assistant, Microsoft's Cortana and Apple's Siri have contributed a lot to this competition.CB Insights collected some insights and found out that there have been a total of 635 artificial intelligence investments in the last decade with a major increase of 38% in last year.It has been found that Apple has bought at least 25 AI companies and on the other hand Google has bought only 14 in the same time period. Google got hold of many well-known AI companies like DeepMind Technologies, Api.ai and Superpod to develop Artificial Intelligence products and to improve the capabilities of Google Assistant. Other major tech giants that bought AI companies also include, Microsoft with having bought 10 AI startups, Facebook bought 8 and Amazon in total bought 7 AI startups. Out of the many tech companies out there, these are the ones that are dominating in this field of Artificial Intelligence especially.The Senior Analyst on the Thematic Research Team at Global Data, Sir Nicklas Nilsson feels that because Apple's Siri is shadowed by Google's Assistant and Amazon's Alexa in terms of smartness, Apple has decided beforehand to be in the lead in the field of Artificial Intelligence, that is why Apple is dominating in the area of AI company acquisitions.Read next: Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max and Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G are among the best rated phones of 2021 According to GlobalData's report, the number companies that Apple have bought from the years 2016 to 2020, makes it the tech giant having ownership of most amount of AI companies.The reason why these tech giants are so focused into AI and its associated companies is because AI is pretty much the main focus these days and it is well known that the future of the tech world lies in AI, that is the reason why the market of Artificial Intelligence is in so much chaos these days, so every other company out there wants to overpower the other with their AI developments leading to a major competition in the market at the moment.

The government's highest priority investment in artificial intelligence needs to be its AI workforce. It is not adopting AI as quickly as the private sector, and potentially as quickly as our adversaries. Most government teams developing AI solutions we have met face high barriers when they begin a project. They include limited access to data sets, constrained system authorities, and less computing power than they need. As a result, projects are slower and more expensive than they might be, delaying the fielding of systems that can decrease costs, increase capabilities, and help improve national security.An educated, trained, and empowered AI workforce can act as a catalyst, enabling the government to create and adopt AI capabilities far more quickly and effectively than it does now.

IFS, the global enterprise applications company, announced the findings of a global research study into the attitudes and strategies towards artificial intelligence (AI) among business leaders. The study polled 600 business leaders worldwide and a broad spectrum of industries involved with their companies' enterprise technology including enterprise resource planning (ERP), enterprise asset management (EAM), and field service management (FSM). "AI is no longer an emerging technology. It is being implemented to support business automation in the here and now, as this study clearly proves," IFS VP of AI and RPA Bob De Caux said. "We are seeing many real-world examples where technology is augmenting existing decision-making processes by providing users with more timely, accurate and pertinent information. In today's disruptive economy, the convergence of technologies such as AI, RPA, and IoT is bolstering a new form of business automation that will provide companies that are brave enough with the tools and services they need to be more competitive and outflank larger competitors."

Dell EMC, subsidiary of Dell Technologies brands, said Wednesday it was looking into investing in emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, blockchain, data analytics, and cloud-compliance. This new investment plan was designed with the aim of retaining the company's top position in India's server market. "The clients are looking to tap these technologies, which is why we are bringing in servers that allow them to optimize on traditional workloads as well as invest into new age workloads such as cloud, artificial intelligence, analytics, and blockchain," said Manish Gupta, senior director and general manager of Infrastructure Solutions Group, Dell EMC India, the Economic Times, an Indian daily, reported. The clients of Dell EMC India include major local IT firms, banks, financial organizations, and insurance companies. This list also includes the Indian government which is reportedly taking a keen interest in blockchain applications.

Artificial intelligence is a disruptive technology that is fundamentally changing the way almost every industry operates. While AI already impacts many areas of our lives, the majority of businesses are only beginning to understand the potential of AI for their industries. Like companies who were able to effectively harness the power of the web in the late 1990's, companies who are able tap into the potential of AI will enjoy a significant advantage over their competitors. In a global survey of more than 3,000 executives, approximately 75 percent of participants said they believe AI holds the key to new business opportunities. Yet, despite this excitement over AI's potential, only one in five companies currently use AI, and an astounding 60% of companies lack a strategy altogether.

Artificial intelligence is often considered one of the top disruptors of our generation. It's forcing companies to apply a business strategy that combines intelligent technologies with operating models and human talent to reach customers in new ways. We're already seeing these advances play out. According to the Accenture Technology Vision 2018 survey, 84 percent of business and IT executives agree that through technology, companies are weaving themselves seamlessly into the fabric of our everyday lives. Let's examine the impact that AI is having on one sector in particular – communications and media companies.

The UAE investments in artificial intelligence (AI) has seen significant growth in the last three years and now analysts predict that it will reach $9bn by the end of 2017. WAM reported that Abdullah Alfan Al Shamsi, assistant Under-Secretary for Industrial Affairs, Ministry of Economy, said official statistics purporting that scientific research contributions to the country's GDP reached 0.87%. "The UAE has been among the first countries to realise the central importance of artificial intelligence to build a knowledge-based economy that adopts scientific research and high-end technology as among the key enabler of the UAE Vision 2021," he added. With AI investments to reach $9bn, Al Shamsi noted that the emerging technology will enhance competitiveness across all economic platforms, particularly industrialisation. Additionally AI will continue to emerge in government services, consumer services and work environments.

Just a few short years ago, artificial intelligence was seen as nothing more than a villain in sci-fi movies. This revolutionary technology was used to insist that innovating too fast can lead to a future of robot overlords and murderous machines. From Hal 9000 in 2001: A Space Odyssey to Skynet in Terminator, artificial intelligence was in need of a good public relations person to change it's image. Fortunately, the tech community has been happy to oblige and AI technology has taken off like a self-landing rocket. According to data from CB Insights, investments in artificial intelligence have been through the roof in recent years. While investments hovered around 700 million in 2013, they have reached astronomical levels at nearly 2.4 billion in just a few short years.
