Cognitive Business: Inside the Microsoft Cortana Intelligence Suite

Huffington Post - Tech news and opinion

AI is likely to impact nearly every industry in the world much in the same way the computer has done over the past 50 years. That said, in the last couple years I've seen a lot of momentum in Retail (e.g., Lowe's smart kitchen design center, Ziosk restaurant kiosks), Manufacturing (e.g., Rolls Royce connected engines, eSmart Systems, Schneider Electric smart power), Healthcare (e.g., Dartmouth Hitchcock connected care), and Banking and other Financial services (e.g., Tangerine, Quarterspot loan success predictions). These industries have significant amounts of data already available to them that they can use at relatively low costs to gain real efficiencies in how they run their operations, employ their people, improve their products, and anticipate the needs of others so they can better serve their customers.
