sarah guo @saranormous·Apr 27, 20177/ Some reasons: A) inability to implement dramatic process change, B) lack of usable data, C) lack of access to both ML, engineering talent81171
sarah guo @saranormous·Apr 27, 20178/ 1 more reason: businesses today largely have structured or text data, not images, voice. NLU is the least far along of those 3 AI domains61882
sarah guo @saranormous·Apr 27, 20179/ Of course, companies can (and should) certainly set out to capture more voice/images and progress NLP research3119
sarah guo @saranormous·Apr 27, 201710/ This of course doesn't apply to some industries that DO rely heavily on images (e.g. radiology). But today that's a smallish subset120
sarah guo @saranormous·Apr 27, 201711/ RPA is NOT AI. It's fragile, hard to deploy, rules-based process automation tech based on GUI-level integration. More on this later...3421
sarah guo @saranormous·Apr 27, 201712/ Most execs have very little understanding of how to "apply AI" today51142
sarah guo @saranormous·Apr 27, 201712/ This is unsurprising: they are caught between the tech industry's "magic cognitive AI does everything" hype marketing...2332
sarah guo @saranormous·Apr 27, 201713/... and of course not having the technical understanding to identify labeled datasets/decisioning opportunities for supervised learning3137
sarah guo @saranormous·Apr 27, 201714/ AI-enabled consumer products are making much, much faster progress so far, delivering new UX to consumers who are voice and photo-first3340
sarah guo @saranormous·Apr 27, 201715/ I'm optimistic we can do much better than this over the next few years as we get to the slightly less obvious ideas...1119

sarah guo @saranormous·Apr 27, 2017ughhhh if I were a bot, I might be shit at interacting, but at least I wouldn't have numbered my thread 12/ 12/ 😣6140
