Over the last decade, artificial intelligence (AI) development has been moving at the speed of light. As a result, chatbots, self-driving cars, and deepfakes have now all become viable. Artificial neural networks are behind many of these advancements. Welcome to the second part of our special series on artificial neural networks! In our first chapter, […]
A Beginner’s Guide to Artificial Neural Networks – Part 1
The rapid rise of artificial intelligence (AI) development has made neural networks more ubiquitous than ever before. Even if you don’t work in data science or software engineering, you encounter this innovation regularly. Whether it’s chatbots, e-commerce platforms, personal finance, or medical imaging, artificial neural networks are now everywhere. But what exactly is an artificial […]
Food Waste Is a Big Problem – Can AI Solve It?
Approximately one-third of all food produced for human consumption is wasted each year according to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations. That equates to 1.3 billion tons and carries an annual cost of $1 trillion. If we could salvage this waste, FAO estimates that we’d have enough food to meet the […]
AI 101: What Is Machine Learning?
Self-driving cars… Online recommendations for what to binge-watch or buy next… Fraud detection… all of these are made possible through machine learning. Over the past few years, this branch of artificial intelligence (AI) has completely changed what’s possible with technology. But what exactly is machine learning? Although many of us use it each and every […]
AI and Machine Learning: What’s the Difference?
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning are both big buzzwords in the tech industry. But they’re often erroneously used interchangeably. At its core, AI comes from the field of computer science. On the other hand, machine learning is actually a subset of AI. So while the two subjects are inherently related, they are certainly not […]
Is Youth the Secret to Better AI Algorithms?
Artificial intelligence (AI) may be a subset of the well-defined and documented field of computer science, but the theory behind AI programming varies from developer to developer. For example, some view AI as a purely algorithmic true/false approach, while others believe AI should be modeled more closely after the human brain. Alan Turing, the famous […]
The Pioneers Behind Deep Learning Have Won Computing’s Highest Honor
Known as the “Nobel Prize of computing,” the Turing Award is the highest honor in computer science. It is bestowed upon individuals who make major technological contributions to the field. The award is named after Alan Turing, the mathematician and computing pioneer who is credited as the key founder of artificial intelligence (AI). And it […]
Machine Learning: How to Make the Most of It
There’s no doubt that machine learning is opening up exciting opportunities for enterprises and startups around the world. But for most organizations, there are some big obstacles to overcome before they start seeing the fruits of their labor. So, the real question is how do you get past these roadblocks? How can you make the […]
Why Hasn’t AI Transformed Many Businesses Yet?
These days, artificial intelligence (AI) dominates the headlines of leading business publications as well as the discussions of C-Suite conference calls. As a result, enterprises and startups are both racing to bring this disruptive technology into their fold. But for many companies, developing AI and deploying it are proving to be more challenging than originally […]
