- AI is a broad technology category whereby machines carry out the kinds of “smart” tasks we associate with human decision making. Machine learning is a subset of AI—a powerful application of AI technology in which we expose machines to lots of data and provide them with ways to learn on their own and become incrementally “smarter” over time.
- It would be more accurate to describe artificial intelligence technology as powering a new era of ‘augmented intelligence’. Individuals are still making key judgments but now have powerful tools to draw new insights.
- Solutions today are already improving the interaction between humans and computers, rapidly evolving an individuals ability to answer questions and draw important insights from ever-growing data collections.
- AI technology is making it possible for professionals to interact in a more natural, conversational way with computer systems. The language of business —which can be very specialised and highly context sensitive—is being mapped into computer systems so that the mountains of data that we now have access to can be mined more effectively. The promise: we will get better results more quickly and efficiently, and at a lower cost.
Databilities’ consultants can offer a broad understanding of Data Science principles and technologies. Whilst current experience is with Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio and the use of ‘R’ and ‘Python’ in those environments, our consultants are highly experienced SQL practitioners, having extensive experience with Big Data (Hadoop) and the use of multiple querying and data visualisation tools.
