As technology progresses, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming more and more prominent in our lives. From robotics to natural language processing, AI has opened up a world of possibilities for businesses and consumers alike. However, when it comes to innovation, Facebook, Google, and everyone else in the tech industry seem to be playing catch up with the AI-powered advancements of the world’s top tech giants.
Fortunately, this doesn’t seem to be the case for much longer. In the race to innovate and make advancements with AI, the tech industry is starting to take cues from the big players like Facebook and Google and come up with new ideas of their own.
For one, companies like Microsoft and IBM are turning machine learning algorithms into their own products and services. In early 2018, IBM opened its IBM Watson Studio, a cloud-based platform that enables developers and businesses to design, build, and deploy AI models. Similarly, Microsoft has been hard at work developing its Cortana AI assistant to be used by developers and businesses in the near future.
Furthermore, a number of companies have come up with brand new AI-powered products and services to replace traditional ones. Amazon’s Alexa and Google Home are two examples of AI-powered voices bots that serve as assistants to users. And there are companies working on developing AI-powered text-to-speech and natural language processing technologies to enhance customer service.
Finally, startups are utilizing AI to create applications that help automate processes and streamline operations. All of this proves that, while Facebook and Google are at the forefront of AI innovation, there are plenty of other players in the field ready to create something new.
Whether it’s AI-powered services or applications, no doubt the tech industry is set to make a big impact with AI in the coming years. As it continues to evolve, we’re sure to see a wide variety of new and innovative products and services from both Facebook, Google, and everyone else in the tech industry.
