Artificial Intelligence 101: Jargon Buster

Cover Image

Where once stood Big Data and Data Science, now stands Artificial Intelligence and its younger sibling, Machine Learning.

AI is red hot. And stuffed with jargon. This e-guide will take a step back and throw the trend into relief.

For the fashion for AI and ML is no mere hype. Indeed, Artificial Intelligence and blockchain initiatives emerged as critical new areas of focus for IT systems buyers in the UK, and across the EMEA region, from the Computer Weekly/ TechTarget IT Priorities survey for 2018.

And yet the business value to be garnered from AI, and related technologies, stands in danger of being lost in the noise of “AI washing” – namely, rinsing already existing technologies, especially those to do with process automation, in the magic washing powder of “AI”?

But, as the articles in this Jargon Buster show, there is real worth in the AI/ML trend, and it could even open up new roles and more business-central activities for IT professionals in corporate organisations – as well as venture capital funding for startups. Nor is the latter to be gainsaid. Companies with their roots in British academia, like DeepMind, have been a big part of the AI scene globally.

Whether you are an IT or business professional looking to see what commercial or other benefit you can secure for your organisation, or an entrepreneur looking to launch an AI-fuelled start up, there is some clarity of mind to be had from this Jargon Buster.
