AI 100: The most promising artificial intelligence companies

The hottest startups are artificial intelligence companies and these organizations are waking waves across most leading sectors, from finance to healthcare. CBI insights has recently unrevealed its pick of the 100 leading companies.

The CBI selection, called “ai.100” contains the most promising private artificial intelligence companies in the world. The list relates to those companies that have made significant progress in the field during 2018. CBI insights produces research briefs that examine in depth areas like retail, healthcare, financial services in terms of AI activity. 
 
The list, which was whittled down from over two thousand, focuses on the teams and technologies that have used artificial intelligence to address major sectoral challenges. From the one hundred companies, additional awards were given to those that have made the biggest impact. 
 
In terms of how big the artificial intelligence market is becoming, 55 of the 100 companies have raised additional funding nearing $2 billion. Five of the companies have since been acquired by major corporations. 
 
The one hundred AI pioneers includes startups operating in areas like drug discovery, cybersecurity, robotics and legal technology. Three examples of the array of firms are profiled below.  
 
Figure Eight  
 
Figure Eight is based in San Francisco. The company has developed software which automates tasks for machine learning algorithms. These are used to improve catalog search results, approve photos or support customers. An application example is with intelligent personal assistants. The company has raised $58 million in venture capital. 
 
PerimeterX 
 
PerimeterX is a cyber security company which established systems to prevent automated web and mobile application attacks. The platform protects systems by detecting and protecting against malicious web behavior. Artificial intelligence is used to separate the actions of bots from those of normal users. The AI further identifies behaviors that are unlikely to represent human actions. 
 
Textio  
 
Textio is an augmented writing platform that tells the user who will respond to their writing based on the language they have included within a document. The platform also provides guidance on how the text within a document can be improved.

Everything you should know about the coronavirus: COVID-19

  What are coronaviruses? SARS-CoV-2 belongs to a family of single-stranded RNA viruses known as coronaviridae, a common type of virus which affects mammals, birds and reptiles. In humans, it commonly causes mild infections, similar to the common cold, and accounts for 10–30% of upper respiratory tract infections in adults. More serious infections are rare, although coronaviruses can cause enteric and neurological disease. The incubation period of a coronavirus varies but is generally up to two weeks. Previous coronavirus outbreaks include  Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS ), first reported in Saudi Arabia in September 2012, and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), identified in southern China in 2003. MERS infected around 2,500 people and led to more than 850 deaths while SARS infected more than 8,000 people and resulted in nearly 800 deaths. The case fatality rates for these conditions were 35% and 10%, respectively. SARS-CoV-2 is a new strain of co...

The First Step Towards Responsible AI Needs To Be About People Not Strategy!

Article By Charles Radclyffe:  I was recently consulting for an organisation that was looking to implement a framework to govern the implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI)  technologies. Like many organisations in their sector, they had been running various ‘lab’ experiments for some time, and had seen positive results; but there was still something holding them back from wholesale investment. A major consulting firm had encouraged them to ‘accelerate’ their innovation by using a framework to govern the roll-out. I asked them where they felt it needed more focus, and they responded saying that it felt somewhat vanilla, a re-hashing of any-old IT project management best practice. “Surely there is something different about AI”, they asked? I couldn’t agree more. There is no magic to AI. Today’s AI is a collection of methodologies that apply extreme reductionism to Big Data in order to elicit patterns, calculate probabilities or make predictions. Wha...
