here are the 10 best examples of how artificial intelligence and machine learning are used today hi Im Bernard MA and I am the author of the book artificial intelligence in practice and what I did in this book is I looked at 50 different companies and how theyre using AI today to make a real difference and drive success so in this video I want to give you an overview of some of the top 10 so the first companies the first 10 companies I talked about in this book what I call the AI trailblazer so some of the.
companies had really embraced artificial intelligence so here are my top 10 number one Alibaba Alibaba is Chinas ecommerce platform company they actually are so successful and in terms of volume theyre making more than theyre selling more than Amazon and eBay combined so a massive company and theyre using artificial intelligence every day to predict what we might want to buy but they are also using artificial intelligence to even automate the product description so this theyre using natural language generation to write a product description that even some of those their suppliers can now.
use they will automate this and potentially even customize this for different individuals looking at their site they are also venturing out offering AI to farmers a big project is around what they call the the Alibaba City brain when whether now offering artificial intelligence to cities to create smart cities across China and across the world so a great example number two is alphabet or Google so alphabet is Googles parent company what they are doing is theyre focusing a lot on self-driving car so they have the way.
Moe company that is now offering self-driving taxi services in California and theyre driving real passengers every single day across certain parts of California another example within alphabet is deepmind a company that Google purchased awhile ago and they have developed an algorithm to play the ancient the ancient board game goal this is something that lots of people thought was never possible because they felt that this was done so intuitively that machines couldnt learn it now they can.
and one of my favorite recent examples is Google duplex this is a voice interface almost a voice assistant that can now make phone calls on your behalf so it can book restaurants for you it can book a hairdressing appointments for you and the other person on the line wouldnt even know that this is not a real person theyre speaking to number three is Amazon a company that really thrives on artificial intelligence they use it for a lot of things including what they now call anticipatory shipping so theyre getting so confident about understanding you as.
an individual and what you’re going to buy that theyre starting to ship things towards you before youve even made a decision to buy it another great example is their Amazon go shops there are physical locations where you go shopping but you have no checkout again everything is done using a I machine vision so cameras will watch you they scan you when you walk into the store they will watch what you put into your.
shopping basket and then you walk out and it will charge you accordingly so in great example of AI in practice number five is BAE do the Chinese search engine company so you would say theyre the Chinese Google equivalent and what they are now doing is theyre using AI to clone your voice so they only need a slip snippet like three and a half seconds of someones voice and they can now clone this so what they’ve recently.
released is a tool that reads books to you but instead of having an artificial voice reading it you would hear the authors voice reading the book to you and this is all automated so another great example number six is Facebook a company that has invested hugely into artificial intelligence and machine learning especially the latest technology around deep learning technology so they have developed a tool.
called deep text that now allows them to automatically understand not only what you are saying in your Facebook posts but also the sentiment and the the meanings behind what you’re saying some of the emotions that you portray when you say something they’ve also invested in deep face this is a technology that allows Facebook to recognize your face anywhere on the Internet so once youve been tagged or youve uploaded photographs they can then create a 3d image of your face and then see where else do you appear to make new friends.
suggestions and actually Facebooks face recognition capability is no better than human face recognition capability so another amazing use case number seven is IBM IBM has a very long track record of using artificial intelligence they have used to defeat Garry Kasparov in chess and have always post these man versus machine competitions most recently they have done the project debater this this was.
amazing because basically what they pitched is there whats in cognitive computing engine against two human professional debaters so these everyone was given a number of topics and then they had to do the research come up their argument and then convince a live audience of their argument and then the audience would vote which one convinced them the most and surprise surprise there whats in cognitive computing engine can now do this it can do the research by itself.
come up with the right arguments and actually present this to a live audience which i think is an absolutely amazing use case number eight on my list is JD comm another Chinese e-commerce giant their founder Richard Liu actually said that he hopes his company would be 100% automated in the future so they now have warehouses with no one working on it completely automating things using artificial intelligence and they have been using drone deliveries for the last four years amazoness sometimes getting the press headlines saying or were thinking about drone deliveries JD comm is using this.
technology and this has been operational for a long time in China my number nine is Microsoft a company that focuses hugely on artificial intelligence not only as a company that offers this as AI service to many of their clients but they also see this as the future of software where the latest office tools now have AI enabled capabilities in it from spell checkers to understanding how you use the tools and making recommendations number 10 is $0 10 the Chinese social media company they have created WeChat.
something that is probably whats up and Facebook and Twitter and all the other platforms combined into one they not understand huge amounts of information and insights about their customers and they’ve also started to integrate this with other things like pay processor so you can now use WeChat pay to pay for your medical bills but theyre also venturing into completely new areas like self-driving cars its a big focus AI enabled chat BOTS its another so hopefully this has given you an idea of.
what my top 10 use cases around AI are theyre all featured in my book artificial intelligence and practice but there are 40 others that you will helpfully find interesting if you would like to learn more head to my website at Bernard Marcum we can find tons of articles white papers and videos that will give you a lot more insight and real-world case studies and examples.
