Artificial intelligence (AI) engineers possess hands-on experience in machine-learning to help companies solve complex business problems by facilitating data-based decision-making and building new data-driven business models. With the use of techniques in computational intelligence, pattern recognition, and predictive analytics to create future-ready machine-learning applications, they can optimize and automate business processes with intelligent algorithms. While machine-learning development can help organizations drive business outcomes, it can also create breakthrough results and improve operational efficiency. That said, despite the global COVID-19 pandemic, artificial intelligence and machine learning have continued to make considerable progress. The latest breakthrough has seen engineers at the Swiss Center for Electronics and Microtechnology (CSEM) develop a new machine-learning method capable of cutting energy use by more than 20%.
