CEOs: From Mobile-First to AI-First World

“‘An important shift from a mobile first world to an AI first world,’ declared Google CEO Sundar Pichai, summarizing the Google I/O 2017 keynote yesterday. His description of the changes underway at his company apply to nearly every business today.”

“Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella took the stage at his company’s massive Ignite conference to lay out his vision for how deep learning and artificial intelligence will transform the company.

‘AI is at the intersection of our ambitions,’ Nadella said, noting how it will allow us ‘to reason over large amounts of data and convert that into intelligence.’ He likened AI to the arrival of books and the web and joked that we will soon create so much data that ‘we are getting to a point where we don’t even know what to name things.’”

Artificial intelligence has become more of a philosophy than a programming tool at Facebook. Laced across the company’s products, it holds the power to analyze data at the massive scale required by a social network connecting a quarter of the world’s population.

In a speech today at Web Summit, Facebook CTO Mike Schroepfer laid out a vision for the role artificial intelligence and machine learning will play in the company’s ambitions to improve global connectivity, technology accessibility, and human computer interaction.”


Apple's (AAPL) annual developer conference keynote was action-packed, with the company showing off several new pieces of hardware, including its first smart speaker. While these are likely to garner much of the attention, it was Apple's constant drum beating about its artificial intelligence prowess that may wind up being the most important.”
