Food for Thought: “If company A has algorithms (software) that are manually improved by software engineers, and company B has Ai algorithms (software that can self-improve, ie, learns from data) at an increasing rate, company B wins.” - Unknown Author

➥ The 4th Industrial Revolution: A Primer on Artificial Intelligence
SUMMARY: This is an excellent article but parts are very technical and it is long. If you have time, section 4 is worth reading but I’ve summarized it below. “Why is AI coming of age today?” gives 5 reasons:
- Improved Algorithms (software) - with advanced math that gives software its ability to optimize its next steps.
- Specialised Hardware, Graphical Processing Units (GPUs) - Ai, like 3D gaming software, requires massive parallel processing to efficiently perform “matrix calculations”, i.e., advanced math.
- Extensive Data, a.k.a. Big Data, Unstructured or Streaming Data. See “Next Issue #3 - Topic Preview” below.
- Cloud Services - unlimited computing power and storage available on demand a.k.a. IaaS, Elastic, or Serverless computing.
- VC Interest & Entrepreneurship

➥ Box Adopts Google Cloud Machine Learning (ML) Vision API for Digital Asset Management
This Box & Google Cloud ML integration will enable enterprises to automatically catalog images uploaded to Box into thousands of categories that make them easier to identify, organize, manage and search.

SUMMARY: You don’t need to be an Ai expert to take advantage of Google’s pre-trained Machine Learning (ML) API.
What You Will Need: Someone that can create a simple web page (eg, use Wordpress) with your brand, and knows how to read instructions on how to communicate and receive information (eg, Javascript programmer) from Google’s Vision ML API - an acronym for Application Programmer Interface. APIs are instructions how to communicate with and utilize Google’s online ML resources. Hands On: Scroll down on this demo web page CLICK HERE until you see “Try the API”, upload an image and see the results.

➥ Cleaning Big Data: Most Time-Consuming, Least Enjoyable Data Science Task, Survey
A new survey of data scientists found that they spend most of their time massaging rather than mining or modeling data.

PREVIEW: One of the above 5 listed items for “Why Ai is coming of age today” driving the acceptance of Ai is the availability of “Extensive Data” or “Big Data”. That is a two-edged sword. In the next issue, I will discuss my recent work integrating RapidMiner (a desktop Data Science software, essentially Excel on steroids) with Google Cloud’s DataPrep service - a cloud-based, big data preparation tool that assists in quickly cleaning and formatting unstructured data so algorithms can learn better, faster.
