Artificial intelligence, in particular the subfields of machine learning and deep learning, have shown remarkable progress in recent times. There is a general consensus that over time every business will need to start using AI if they are to be competitive and successful. AI is not something for the future nor something only for the large technology titans but rather a technology that is increasingly entering the mainstream.
This is an introductory paper on how to drive productivity in the areas of machine learning and deep learning. The paper highlights some of the key barriers to getting good outcomes in these projects and then outlines some potential functions or capabilities organizations should consider as they look at technologies to help support their AI programs.
