It was hailed as the most significant test of machine intelligence since Deep Blue defeated Garry Kasparov in chess nearly 20 years ago. Google’s AlphaGo has won two of the first three games against grandmaster Lee Sedol in a Go tournament, showing the dramatic extent to which AI has improved over the years. That fateful day when machines finally become smarter than humans has never appeared closer—yet we seem no closer in grasping the implications of this epochal event.
Farid Mheir's insight:
Hearing so much about deep learning, Big data, and artificial intelligence these days it is useful to review some of the myths and set the story straight.

A few days before Thanksgiving, George Hotz, a 26-year-old hacker, invites me to his house in San Francisco to check out a project he’s been working on. He says it’s a self-driving car that he had built in about a month. The claim seems absurd. But when I turn up that morning, in his garage there’s a white 2016 Acura ILX outfitted with a laser-based radar (lidar) system on the roof and a camera mounted near the rearview mirror. A tangle of electronics is attached to a wooden board where the glove compartment used to be, a joystick protrudes where you’d usually find a gearshift, and a 21.5-inch screen is attached to the center of the dash. “Tesla only has a 17-inch screen,” Hotz says.

The story of a very bright kid that unleashes the power of deep learning and machine intelligence to tech his car how to drive. And it seems to be working. Someone to look at very carefully.
But also a story about the power that these new tools have on our world and should be leveraged more aggressively by corporations.

Technology is really accelerating. What an expert can do in one month could take years before. This is as exciting as it is uncontrollable. The only remaining question is to know if simple and fast prototyping could be a good canvas to build upon for safe and efficient designs.

Mobile is the future for most interactions with your customers. However it is more and more difficult to get your apps downloaded and used on a daily basis when you have to compete with Facebook, Google, Snapchat and the myriad of other high performance social tools out there.
The solution may lie in the use of "chatbots", automated software that can respond to user inquiries via sms or messaging apps. This means you could have a customer service or ecommerce "bot" that responds automatically to customers inquiries they make using apps they have already on their phones and that they are using on a daily basis.
The video is quite short and provides examples of working products and solutions. I encourage you to listen and take note, then ask yourself how you can put this new technology to use in your digital strategy for the next few years.
