Artificial intelligence has been making headlines. The industry is growing faster than ever, and a few ventures have taken the lead. What's the future?

Who is leading AI? Start Ups - focus on specific developments
Microsoft's new speech recognition technology is able to transcribe conversational speech as well as (or even better than) humans. The technology scored a word error rate (WER) of 5.9%, which was lower than the 6.3% WER reported just last month.
Google CEO Sundar Pichai believes that we are moving to an “AI-first” world. In this world, we will be interacting with personal digital assistants on a range of platforms, including through Google’s new…
Microsoft's plan for bringing the benefits of AI to everyone and every enterprise will require a higher level of intimacy than you might be willing to give.

Amazon, Facebook, Google, Microsoft and IBM form a group to set the first industrywide best practices for the technology already powering many applications, such as voice and image recognition.
Of course, machine translation is still far from perfect. Despite its advances, GNMT can still mistranslate, particularly when it encounters proper names or rare words, which prompt the system to, again, translate individual words instead of looking at them within the context of the whole. Clearly, there is still a gap between human and machine translations, but with GNMT, it is getting smaller.
AI is often associated with Terminator-like scenarios that depict machines taking over the world. Here are some of the biggest misconceptions we have about this technology.
The Internet giant has unveiled an English-Chinese translation system built entirely on deep neural networks, saying it reduces error rates by 60 percent.

Google Translate more AI - Deep Learning, neural networks
Scared of superintelligent AI? You should be, says neuroscientist and philosopher Sam Harris -- and not just in some theoretical way. We're going to build superhuman machines, says Harris, but we haven't yet grappled with the problems associated with creating something that may treat us the way we treat ants.
