A Gap in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence: Do Not Tell the Writers of Marketing Collateral, Please
February 15, 2021
Another study and minimal information about methodology. Accurate or not? Meh. Interesting? Yes.
“Study Uncovers Widespread Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Knowledge Gap” presents information that seems like something Captain Obvious, a well know expert on what’s in plain sight may know. Some examples from the write up may be illustrative:
Finding the right data is a problem for participants in Asia
More than one-third (32%) of respondents report artificial intelligence R&D initiatives that have been tested and abandoned or failed.
Outfits that have successfully implemented AI and machine learning programs report increased productivity (47%) and increased understanding of your business and customers (42%) as the top benefits. Question: What’s productivity? How is it measured? What’s understanding?
The majority of those in the sample (66%) are, to some degree, working with an experienced provider to navigate the complexities of AI and machine learning development. Question: What’s an “experienced provider”?
What did the survey reveal? Not much except that marketing collateral is a less difficult task than delivering demonstrably high value smart software and systems.
