<div dir="ltr">Thanks Ali,<div><br></div><div>I think there are elements worth noting in all this discussion:</div><div><ol><li>Firstly, IBM are market leaders in AI. Watson is above all other AI products out there, if theres a niche IBM has apart from Blockchain its AI.</li><li>There are other interest areas that IBM and other players are investing heavily to complement this: And thats IoT and Big Data / Data Warehousing and resulting Business Intelligence technologies.</li><li>This will then be complemented by Platform as a Service businesses.</li></ol><div>Interesting times, and AI will complement everything in the end. So you'd find that a lot of technology being developed on aggressively will feed into an AI workflow - so these technologies become the means to an AI end :D</div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, May 5, 2017 at 5:59 AM, Ali Hussein via kictanet <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke" target="_blank">kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default"><font face="georgia, serif">Listers</font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font face="georgia, serif"><br></font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font face="georgia, serif">This may be interesting for some of you.</font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font face="georgia, serif"><br></font></div><div class="gmail_default">

life, and is being tapped for a growing array of core business applications, including
predicting market and customer behavior, automating repetitive tasks and providing
alerts when things go awry. As technology becomes more sophisticated, the use of
AI will continue to grow quickly in the coming years. </font></p><p><font face="georgia, serif">See attached for more detailed reading. </font></p><p><font face="georgia, serif">Courtesy of IBM.</font></p>
