Artificial Intelligence or AI, it is said by many, will be man’s last invention. Why? Because AI is more than just hardware and software, AI will allow machines to learn. This machine learning will allow programs to make decisions and to think on their own. They will be able to iterate themselves, through trial and error, to perfection.
But there are only 9 companies that will dominate this potentially huge industry. These are the companies you should either try to work for, associate yourself with, or invest in.
