Artificial Intelligence is
The interaction of the following fields
1. Internet of Things
2. Smart Grids/Cities (The Internet of Really Big Things)
3. Data Science
4. Machine Learning
5. Natural Language Processing & Generation
6. Big Data Processing
In the near term, we’re getting artificially intelligent

We have over 1 Million full time
BPO jobs, >5.4% of total GDP.
In 2012, India had >2.8 million
BPO jobs.

WARNING: We can’t expect the next 5
years to look like the last 5 years.
Problem:
The Philippines was #1 in Voice jobs as of 2012 (which will
be a problem as computer start talking more).
Opportunity:
We are global domain experts in BPOs.
