Who Owns What AI Outfit?
February 13, 2017
Yep, there is a crazy logo graphic. However, you will find a chart I found useful. Navigate to “The Race For AI: Google, Twitter, Intel, Apple In A Rush To Grab Artificial Intelligence Startups.” Look for the subhead “Major Acquirers In Artificial Intelligence Since 2011.” Google was a gobbler of smart software companies. There were three surprises on the list:
- Yahoot (sorry I meant Yabba Dabba Hoot, er, Yahoo) acquired some AI smarts while it was shopping itself, ignoring security problems, and making management history.
- Amazon, the outfit with the Echo gizmo, snagged a couple of companies. What happens if Alexa gets smarter? Answer: More pain for Apple, Google, and Microsoft. These are three companies unable to create a new product category which generates buzz while selling laundry detergent.
- Twitter seems to be making a bit of an effort to become more than the amplifier of trumpet music.
Interesting run down. Now about that crazy chart which I find unreadable. Here you go:
Nifty, eh?
