Handy List of Smart Software Leaders
June 27, 2019
As the field of AI grows, it can be difficult to keep track of the significant players. Datamation shares a useful list in, “Top 45 Artificial Intelligence Companies.” If you skim the lineup, just keep in mind—entries are not ranked in any way, simply listed in alphabetical order. Writer Andy Patrizio begins with some observations about the industry:
“AI is driving significant investment from venture capitalist firms, giant firms like Microsoft and Google, academic research, and job openings across a multitude of sectors. All of this is documented in the AI Index, produced by Stanford University’s Human-Centered AI Institute. …
We noted:
“Consulting giant Accenture believes AI has the potential to boost rates of profitability by an average of 38 percentage points and could lead to an economic boost of US$14 trillion in additional gross value added (GVA) by 2035. In Truth, artificial intelligence holds a plethora of possibilities—and risks. ‘It will have a huge economic impact but also change society, and it’s hard to make strong predictions, but clearly job markets will be affected,’ said Yoshua Bengio, a professor at the University of Montreal, and head of the Montreal Institute for Learning Algorithms.”
For their selections, Datamation chose companies of particular note and those that have invested heavily in AI. Many names are ones you would expect to see, like Amazon, Google, IBM, and Microsoft. Others are more specialized—robotics platforms Anki and CloudMinds, for example, or iCarbonX, Tempus, and Zebra Medical Vision for healthcare. Several entries are open source.
