Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) engineers are quickly becoming crucial for any company looking to secure a spot in the data-driven future. In reality, we have already entered this world, meaning any organization not utilizing the technology in some way is at a disadvantage. The world's major tech companies are dedicating entire departments to AI research, or completely buying out AI startups to implement into their organizations. But it's not just companies like Google, Facebook, and Apple that are applying AI to their data. Companies of every size are using AI to innovate their business models.

Every serious technology company now has an Artificial Intelligence team in place. These companies are investing millions into intelligent systems for situation assessment, prediction analysis, learning-based recognition systems, conversational interfaces, and recommendation engines. Companies such as Google, Facebook, and Amazon aren't just employing AI, but have made it a central part of their core intellectual property. As the market has matured, AI is beginning to move into enterprises that will use it but not develop it on their own. They see intelligent systems as solutions for sales, logistics, manufacturing, and business intelligence challenges. They hope AI can improve productivity, automate existing process, provide predictive analysis, and extract meaning from massive data sets.
