INTELLIGENT ALGORITHMS

A machine is intelligent if it manages to pass itself off as a human when faced with a human. The Turing test (1950)

TEMPLATED CONVERSATIONS ARE BASEDON REPETITIVE INFORMATION REQUESTS

"The more data that is collected and analyzed, the greater the economic value it has in aggregate”

"Data has a shelf-life and the economic value of data diminishes over time."

"The economic value of information multiplies when combined with context, meaning and right time delivery."

“Big Data is useless if you can’t mine it for relevant and actionable (customer) information . Smart data is what you really need."

Powered by advanced machine learning, deep learning, predictive analytics,

natural language processing and smart data discovery, Einstein’s models will be

automatically customized for every single customer, and it will learn, self-tune, and get smarter with every interaction and additional piece of data.

Most importantly, Einstein’s intelligence will be embedded within the context of

business, automatically discovering relevant insights,

predicting future behavior, proactively recommending best next actions and even automating tasks.

“AI is the foundation for everything we do. We create intelligent experiences. AI is the kernel that powers that experience.”

– Greg Chambers, Global Director of Digital Innovation, The Coca-Cola Company

THE COCA-COLA COMPANY WANTS TO EQUIP ITSVENDING MACHINES WITH A SIRI-LIKE ARTIFICIAL

INTELLIGENT VIRTUAL ASSISTANT, ALLOWINGA MORE PERSONAL SERVICE AND SMART CONTEXT

Coca Cola closely tracks how its products are represented across social media, and in 2015 was able to calculate that its products were mentioned somewhere in the world an average of just over once every two seconds.

Knowing this gives insight into who is consuming their drinks, where their customers are, and what situations prompt them to talk about their brand.

The company has used AI-driven image recognition technology to spot when photographs of its products, or those of competitors, are uploaded to the internet, and uses algorithms to determine the best way to serve them advertisements.

Ads targeted in this way have a four times greater chance of being clicked on than other methods of targeted advertising, the company has said.
