A number of companies are creating new artificial intelligence companies, including Google, IBM, and Habana Labs. Other notable acquisitions include Baidu's partnership with China Huaneng, which is focusing on intelligent energy. It seems that everyone is interested the future of artificial Intelligence. What companies are making the biggest strides in AI?
Google has launched 12 new artificial intelligence companies
Despite the recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), this technology isn't a panacea for all your business problems. Although the technology has been successfully applied across many industries, it is not always simple to implement. Companies must have deep domain knowledge to address these problems. This means learning about their potential customers' data systems and value chains. This will allow them to demonstrate that their AI solutions can work at scale.
DeepMind Technologies: DeepMind Technologies was founded in 2010 and acquired by Google in 2014. The company maintains several research centers across the United States, Canada and France. Its AI technology is helping solve problems in healthcare and science.
Habana Labs is now owned by Intel
Intel Corporation announced its acquisition of Israeli startup Habana Labs. Habana develops programmable deep learning accelerators for data centers. It is estimated that the deal could be worth anywhere from $1 billion to $2Billion. The acquisition will enhance Intel's AI offerings, and expand its product range.
The deal will allow Intel's development of new chips, and support Habana’s research efforts. The deal also allows Intel to retain Habana's current management team, while the new company will operate on its own. The acquisition will not affect the company's developers. Instead, it will continue to build its own team. Intel already has several fabs in Israel, and it recently bought Mobileye, an Israeli auto-tech firm for more than $15 million.
IBM has acquired Instana
IBM purchased an AI startup that specializes within applications performance management. This is IBM's latest move to expand its AI portfolio. Instana, which is based out of Chicago, has the ability to collect billions in metrics every day. The software can be used as a SaaS or on-premises option. It can monitor and manage OpenShift applications.
Instana uses AI to help organizations manage cloud-native applications. Its software can automatically understand the context of an application and provide insights to help improve its performance. It can also identify IT problems that can hurt a business and reduce customer satisfaction.
FAQ
Which industries use AI most frequently?
The automotive sector is among the first to adopt AI. BMW AG uses AI as a diagnostic tool for car problems; Ford Motor Company uses AI when developing self-driving cars; General Motors uses AI with its autonomous vehicle fleet.
Other AI industries are banking, insurance and healthcare.
How does AI impact the workplace
It will transform the way that we work. We will be able to automate routine jobs and allow employees the freedom to focus on higher value activities.
It will improve customer service and help businesses deliver better products and services.
It will allow us to predict future trends and opportunities.
It will give organizations a competitive edge over their competition.
Companies that fail to adopt AI will fall behind.
How does AI function?
You need to be familiar with basic computing principles in order to understand the workings of AI.
Computers keep information in memory. Computers use code to process information. The code tells a computer what to do next.
An algorithm is a set or instructions that tells the computer how to accomplish a task. These algorithms are often written in code.
An algorithm could be described as a recipe. A recipe could contain ingredients and steps. Each step can be considered a separate instruction. For example, one instruction might read "add water into the pot" while another may read "heat pot until boiling."
Who invented AI and why?
Alan Turing
Turing was created in 1912. His father was a clergyman, and his mother was a nurse. At school, he excelled at mathematics but became depressed after being rejected by Cambridge University. He took up chess and won several tournaments. He was a British code-breaking specialist, Bletchley Park. There he cracked German codes.
He died in 1954.
John McCarthy
McCarthy was born in 1928. Before joining MIT, he studied mathematics at Princeton University. He created the LISP programming system. He was credited with creating the foundations for modern AI in 1957.
He died on November 11, 2011.

- A 2021 Pew Research survey revealed that 37 percent of respondents who are more concerned than excited about AI had concerns including job loss, privacy, and AI's potential to “surpass human skills.” (builtin.com)
- Additionally, keeping in mind the current crisis, the AI is designed in a manner where it reduces the carbon footprint by 20-40%. (analyticsinsight.net)
- While all of it is still what seems like a far way off, the future of this technology presents a Catch-22, able to solve the world's problems and likely to power all the A.I. systems on earth, but also incredibly dangerous in the wrong hands. (forbes.com)
