INNOVATION THIS WEEK …

5. AI IS EATING SOFTWARE
“Software is eating the world, as Marc Andreessen said,
but AI is eating software. The number of software
developers following the leading AI frameworks on the
GitHub open-source software repository has grown to
more than from 75,000 from fewer than 5,000 over the
past two years.”

“Deep learning is a strategic imperative for every
major tech company. It increasingly permeates every
aspect of work from infrastructure, to tools, to how
products are made.”
-Jensen Huang, NVIDIA CEO

6. WHY NVIDIA IS BUILDING ITS OWN TPU
“The blistering pace of innovation in artificial intelligence
for image, voice, robotic and self-driving vehicle
applications has been fueled, in large part, by NVIDIA GPU
chips that deliver the massive compute power required by
the underlying math required for Deep Learning.”

“Now NVIDIA itself seems to have embraced this approach, albeit in a
limited fashion, announcing its own ASIC technology for Deep
Learning acceleration. In a surprising and bold move, the company
also announced that it will open source this technology to enable
others to build chips using this technology.”
-Karl Freund, Moor Insights and Strategy Analyst

7. AI PODCAST: USING DEEP LEARNING TO IMPROVE
THE HANDS-FREE, VOICE EXPERIENCE
“What would the future of intelligent devices look
like if we could bounce from using Amazon’s Alexa
to order a new book to Google Assistant to schedule
our next appointment, all in the course of a single
conversation?
The latest episode of our AI podcast dives into this
question as part of a conversation with Kitt.ai
founder Xuchen Yao.”

“I imagine in five to 10 years, we’re going to have the
personal assistant everywhere we go,”
-Xuchen Yao, Kitt.ai founder

8. TWITTER USES MACHINE LEARNING & DEEP LEARNING
“We’ve been applying a lot of deep learning to notifications
to alert you to exactly what’s going on, what matters and
kind of like being a little bird that flies on your shoulder
and tells you, “Hey, this is happening, this is going on.” You
go into the app and you see exactly what’s happening and,
more important, see what people think about it, as well.”

“It just means that we’re going to make sure that we’re honoring
people’s time, and we’re delivering that content to them that
matters to them as fast as possible and in a meaningful way..”
-Jack Dorsey, Twitter CEO

9. WHAT’S A GENERATIVE ADVERSARIAL NETWORK?
“If you haven’t yet heard of generative
adversarial networks, don’t worry, you will. The
hottest topic in deep learning, GANs, as they’re
called, have the potential to create systems that
learn more with less help from humans.”

“Rather than train a single neural network to recognize
pictures, researchers train two competing networks…You
can think of this being like a competition between
counterfeiters and police. Counterfeiters want to make
fake money and have it look real, and police want to look
at any particular bill and determine if it’s fake.”
-Ian Goodfellow, Google research scientist
