Artificial Intelligence – Put SimplyTechnologies that seem to emulate human thinking and action
4
Like Human
• Uses natural language
• Perceives sensory input
• Learns from experience
• Executes nonroutine tasks
More Than Human
• Quickly analyzes high volumes of data
• Detects patterns more accurately
• Works 24/7
• Doesn’t get bored (yet)
Artificial Intelligence Is All Around Us5
AI - Why Now?6
Computing Power
Algorithm Break-
throughs
Digital Data Explosion
GPUs (Graphics Processing
Units) using 1000’s of smaller,
efficient cores specifically
designed to run AI-oriented
applications. Deep Learning algorithms
using multi-layered "neural
networks" to mimic human
learning behavior.
Vast quantities of real-time data
(internal, external, structured,
unstructured) now available.
(2.2 billion gigabytes a day.)
The Rise of the Algorithm7

“Use AI and IoT along with other disruptive technologies and techniques to go beyond just changing business
processes to changing entire business models.”
Leveraging AI Capabilities – Build vs. Buy19
Pre-Trained AI Cloud Services
Voice-to-text, image recognition, language translation, sentiment analysis, emotion detection, video tagging
i.e. Google, Microsoft, IBM, Amazon, Zebra, Nuance, Infermedica
Prepackaged Apps (w/ AI Built-In)
Digital marketing, data analytics, incident management, virtual engineers, sentiment analysis, network security
i.e. IPsoft, Service Now, Cisco, RPA vendors, Salesforce.com
AI Cloud Algorithms
Cloud AI toolkits and algorithms to use your own data to create, train, and deploy self-learning models.
i.e. Azure ML, Amazon ML, Google Cloud ML, Watson ML, OpenAI
In-House AI
Build your own machine-learning / data science team, hire talent, procure tools, etc.
Skills: how to build algorithms, collect and integrate data and supervise the training of the algorithm.
Easier Harder
AI-as-a-Service (AIaaS)
Service provider experts gather/clean data, deploy and train models, deliver insights and automation via API’s
i.e. Element.ai, Metis Machine, DataScience.com
“Robust AI solutions may require utilizing various service providers from large AI cloud vendors to one of 3,500 niche AI start-ups.”
Enterprise Opportunities20
“Do you want to compete against companies that are using these technologies, or force
them to compete with you?”
