Cognitive Technology
Human training machines to think like a human. Teach computers to recognize patterns. To generate hypothesis and get to reasonable outcomes.
Machine learning/Natural Language Processing
New advances in natural language capabilities mean that machines are learning, rapidly, to understand the content of what they read or what is said to them and learning how to use human languages and dialects to respond. There are also a number of machine learning platforms from tech giants like Amazon, Microsoft, IBM, Google, etc.
Big Data and Data analytics
AI and machine learning will increase the need for big data analytics. As more data and better algorithms become available, more automation is possible along with better predictions. The more data and even more importantly, more data that represents the concepts you need to learn that makes AI applications better.
Robotics and AI
Several organizations are targeting a specific combination of capabilities such as social and emotional intelligence, natural language processing, logical reasoning, identification of patterns and self-supervised learning, physical sensors, mobility, navigation and more.
