API World + AI DevWorld

AI shows great promise, but it has not been adopted rapidly because the barriers to entry are too high. In the same way that the Cloud became ubiquitous, AI will follow the same track.

Now, Visual AI As A Service - and all AI as services - are poised to provide the value the Enterprises seek. Right now, VIsual AI is available as a demo on the iPhone - the Chooch IC2 app - and now developers can train their instance of Chooch to recognize any object - faces, cells, art, sports actions - and then use an API to apply AI to their visual data.

The GPU infrastructure and the machine learning models, to name just two technology features, are very difficult to create and maintain. By using AI As A Service, the enterprise can leverage the value of economies of scale and finally reap the rewards of AI.
