The creation of artificial intelligence is the next step in the progression of technology. The prospect of self-driving vehicles and humanoid robots is no longer the stuff of science fiction, and the credit for this achievement goes entirely to the venture capitalists who are investing in AI companies in order to speed up the growth and development of these businesses. We have compiled a list of the most prominent businesses currently investing in AI startups, all of which you should be aware of. Canaan Partners Canaan is a venture capital firm that invests in entrepreneurs in the early stages of their businesses who have visionary concepts. Canaan has invested in some of the most successful technology and healthcare companies in the world over the course of the past 33 plus years, thanks to its diversified fund and more than 200 successful exits to date.

Implementing machine learning is a minefield and a slog. Even after IT managers put in place an accelerated computing infrastructure required for AI, after data scientists and business managers agree on analytics projects the organization needs, after the data science team selects algorithms, builds models, prepares data, runs prototypes and makes everything operational – after all that –there's still the real possibility business unit managers will reject ML recommendations for fear of bias in the model or simply because they don't understand how the system arrives at its decisions. It's the AI Trust Gap, and it's a particularly difficult hurdle for companies without FAANG-class compute and data science resources. We've written about new attempts to close the trust gap, including management strategy recommendations ("How to Overcome the AI Trust Gap: A Strategy for Business Leaders") and a product launch last month by IBM ("Explaining AI Decisions to Your Customers: IBM Toolkit for Algorithm Accountability"). Now CognitiveScale has added Certifai to its Cortex line of enterprise AI software that generates, according to the company, a "FICO-like" composite risk score based on the "AI Trust Index" that CognitiveScale developed with AI Global.

New Tech Affiliate Partners CognitiveScale, Kore.ai and Shibumi Highlight Power and Innovation Behind Blue Prism's connected-RPA Offering ORLANDO, FLA – May 23, 2019 -- Continuing to push the envelope for innovation around intelligent automation capabilities, Blue Prism (AIM: PRSM) today announced that CognitiveScale, Kore.ai and Shibumi have joined the company's Technology Alliance Program (TAP) as affiliates. These new partners will help drive digital transformations for their clients by extending Blue Prism's connected-RPA capabilities to include AI-powered chatbots along with workflow and data synchronization solutions being delivered in a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model. "Each month Blue Prism adds a few key technology partners that show us the art of the possible with our digital workforce," says Linda Dotts, SVP Global Partner Strategy and Programs for Blue Prism. "Our connected-RPA platform provides a bedrock foundation for enterprise customers looking to drive innovation through new intelligent automation capabilities. This latest group of technology partner affiliates highlights the depth and breadth of our rapidly evolving ecosystem."

What makes CognitiveScale a HfS Hot Vendor? Albeit a nascent market, Enterprise Artificial Intelligence (AI) is developing strongly. However, organizations struggle to identify the most relevant technology partners for their projects as well as sourcing relevant talent that is scarce, to say the least. CognitiveScale is aiming to accelerate organizations journey towards AI-enabled projects by offering a platform approach that offers pre-trained Machine Learning capabilities as well as curated data sets. CognitiveScale's key proprietary offering is its platform solution called Cortex, which it has just relaunched with major upgrades.

Newswire) CognitiveScale today announced a completed project with NBCUniversal using its artificial intelligence (AI) technology to transform the way NBCUniversal analyzes video to determine what makes a successful ad. The first-of-its-kind project resulted in valuable insights that empowers NBCUniversal to use AI to deliver new ad sales options and services to its clients. With the successful video project, CognitiveScale demonstrated how augmented intelligence can span all forms of data to deliver AI-powered technological innovations to increase everything from content creation and monetization to programming and customer retention to pricing and market share. Before now, media and entertainment companies had vast amounts of information contained within video, but had limited ways to derive actionable insights at scale from that data. Early promises of analytics for big data have fallen short, as often organizations do not know the right questions to ask of the data, let alone gather the types of actionable insights that can help them drive new services and improve customer offerings.

Machine learning and artificial intelligence are so difficult to understand, only a few very smart computer scientists know how to build them. But the designers of a new tool have a big ambition: to create the Javascript for AI. The tool, called Cortex, uses a graphical user interface to make it so that building an AI model doesn't require a PhD. The honeycomb-like interface, designed by Mark Rolston of Argodesign, enables developers–and even designers–to use premade AI "skills," as Rolston describes them, that can do things like sentiment analysis or natural language processing. They can then drag and drop these skills into an interface that shows the progression of the model.

"Stringing together things is a thing even a child learns," explains Rolston. "By simplifying that orchestration aspect, the stuff that's going to stay hard–like the data transforms–are easier to understand.

Only one in 20 companies has extensively incorporated AI in offerings or processes. Less than 39% of all companies have an AI strategy in place. According to MIT Sloan Review, the largest companies -- those with at least 100,000 employees -- are the most likely to have an AI strategy, but only half have one. Despite claims that AI is already being subsumed into an array of applications, we're not there yet and won't be in 2018. It is still the early days of adoption, and those companies that are implementing AI now will see the biggest competitive value.

CognitiveScale's unique augmented intelligence software and industry-specific AI for financial services, healthcare, and digital commerce markets earned the company recognition in the Cross-Industry category. "This year's list was culled from 1000 applications and looks even more impressive," said Anand Sanwal, CEO, CB Insights. "These are companies using artificial intelligence in industries from drug discovery and cybersecurity to robotics and legal tech. I'm happy that CB Insights is able to shine a light on the founders and companies that will revolutionize these industries and look forward to seeing what they do in 2018 and beyond." "While most artificial intelligence approaches focus on replacing humans, our mission at CognitiveScale is to deliver breakthrough business outcomes by the pairing of people and machines," said Akshay Sabhikhi, CEO, CognitiveScale.
