What's Different Now: Five Reasons Why AI Is Suddenly Accessible
By Mark Troester
In recent years AI has grown significantly and become a substantial area of
business investment. What has changed, and how does this affect you?
For a long time, artificial intelligence was pure science fiction, relegated
to books, television and movies—and you don’t need us to tell you that we
are well past that point today. In the last few years we have seen extremely

From Science to Art: Making Machine Learning Approachable
By Sundeep Sanghavi
The high barrier to entry prevents many companies from tapping into the full
potential of machine learning. But what if you could make it more accessible?
We’re in the midst of a data explosion, with today’s enterprises amassing
goldmines of information (25 quintillion bytes of data every day, according
