Minsait, empresa perteneciente a Indra, ha creado una nueva unidad de negocio, denominada Plaiground, para facilitar a las empresas el acceso a la inteligencia artificial a través de un entorno colaborativo. A través de esta unidad, la tecnológica española quiere ofrecer a sus clientes "la respuesta más adecuada" a los retos que se les plantee en este campo.
Ninguna inteligencia artificial está entrenada para que una semana agotemos el papel higiénico y las mascarillas y la siguiente, la levadura y los productos de jardinería. Los algoritmos de gigantes como Amazon y Netflix deben reajustarse manualmente para abordar la volatilidad de nuestros patrones de conducta durante la pandemia
Any researcher who’s focused on applying machine learning to real-world problems has likely received a response like this one: “The authors present a solution for an original and highly motivating problem, but it is an application and the significance seems limited for the machine-learning community.”
La diversificación de mercados, más aún en un contexto crítico como el actual, es una herramienta que en anteriores situaciones se ha mostrado muy útil para el mantenimiento de la actividad empresarial, y hoy son muchas las voces que abogan por ella en el momento en que se inicie el despegue económico. Elhuyar se prepara para este escenario desde una buena posición al haber articulado la estrategia para alcanzar nuevos públicos y, para ello, se basa en la inteligencia artificial.
Much of the buzz around artificial intelligence has surrounded companies focused on general purpose artificial intelligence, as opposed to companies applying AI algorithms like machine learning and deep learning in specific industries.
“From healthcare to finance to e-commerce, we’re focused on changing people’s lives.” - Antoine Blondeau, CEO, Sentient Technologies
Taking a look at the core AI companies like Sentient — companies focused on general-purpose AI applicable across a variety of industries — a few have already received $50M or more in equity funding.
Invidyo is launching a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign today to raise money for its artificial intelligence-driven child monitoring system.
While there are plenty of baby-monitoring cameras on the market, they generally produce a lot of footage for you to review. But Invidyo is using A.I. to give parents daily highlights when they are away at work and smarter notifications, when necessary.
In Q1'16, there were over 140 deals to startups focused on AI. Khosla Ventures emerges as most active VC investor in the category.
Equity deals to startups in artificial intelligence — including companies applying AI solutions to verticals like healthcare, advertising, and finance as well as those developing general-purpose AI tech — increased nearly 6x, from roughly 70 in 2011 to nearly 400 in 2015.
Q1’16 saw a new peak in deal activity to the category.
Using the CB Insights database, we studied funding trends to AI-based companies, including:
CrowdFlower, a crowdsourced data-cleaning and tagging platform, has closed a fresh $10 million in funding in a round led by Microsoft Ventures, Canvas Ventures, and Trinity Ventures.
Founded out of San Francisco in 2009, CrowdFlower had previously raised $28 million, including a $12.5 million round back in 2014, but the company says it will use its cash influx to expedite the adoption of a new machine-learning product called CrowdFlower AI.
