sarah guo @saranormous·Apr 27, 20176/ Why is there such a gap b/w the significant multi-domain advances that Google has seen with ML, DeepMind, etc., vs. every other company?51137
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 talent81172
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, 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

lmeyerov@lmeyerov·Apr 27, 2017I agree with you in a math sense, but for a "build a full thing" sense, still need machine-connected data & action API hookups,2
sarah guo @saranormous·Apr 27, 2017But the middle is math vs. like, screen scraping + macro recordings. And the middle determines the UX/interfaces2
