Major shifts in how we work that build on each other Industrial Revolution 1.0 1760-1840 ~80 years Personal Computing Cloud Computing Mobile Computing Age of AI Steam Electricity Computing Intelligence Industrial Revolution 2.0 1870-1914 ~44 years Industrial Revolution 3.0 1947- now (est 2030) Industrial Revolution 4.0 … p r o g r a m m a b l e …
25. APIs are more discoverable APIs are the connectivity (again) But are APIs the data source?
26. Cloud Mobile Agents
27. spike --> prototype --> test --> make real
28. Most importantly, identify the use case, don’t peanut butter and just AI all the things
29. 1. Why (how will AI extend or harm your brand promise?) 2. How (the way/route of implementation) 3. What (the result)
30. then, select the right AI APIs
31. Regression​ (e.g., house prices, stock prices)​ Classification​ (e.g., spam or not spam, cat or dog)​ Clustering​ Anomaly Detection​ Recommendation Systems​ Machine Learning (ML) Tasks ==================== Reinforcement Learning Robotics Autonomous Vehicles Medical Diagnosis Drug Discovery Financial Forecasting Fraud Detection Other AI Tasks ============ Chatbots and Virtual Assistants Language Translation Sentiment Analysis Text Summarization Question Answering Generation (text, code, music, art) ( Natural Language Processing (NLP) Tasks ============================ Image Classification​ Object Detection​ Image Segmentation​ Facial Recognition​ Optical Character Recognition (OCR)​​ Computer Vision Tasks ================
32. Model as a Service and Model Stores
