Artificial Intelligence (AI): AI and Machine Learning Target both Business and Government

By Dick Weisinger

“AI is the most important technology that anybody on the planet is working on today.  I would argue that it will even change how we perceive what it means to be human,” said Dave Coplin, chief envisioning officer at Microsoft UK.

The last couple of years has seen an explosion in the number of applications of machine learning and artificial intelligence.  Technology giants, in particular, companies like Gooble and Facebook, are using a type of AI called deep learning to help them do things like recognize and classify photographs, recognize and respond to speech, and drive automobiles autonomously.

Even the white house is interested in machine learning and AI.  Deputy Chief Technology Officer Ed Felton, announced that “broadly, between now and the end of the Administration, the NSTC group will work to increase the use of AI and machine learning to improve the delivery of government services.  Such efforts may include empowering Federal departments and agencies to run pilot projects evaluating new AI-driven approaches and government investment in research on how to use AI to make government services more effective. There are tremendous opportunities and an array of considerations across the Federal Government in privacy, security, regulation, law, and research and development to be taken into account when effectively integrating this technology into both government and private-sector activities.”
