Artificial Intelligence: Leading Disruptive Technology Companies in the World

Artificial intelligence is a term whose meaning has changed over the years but simply put, it is the field of study of software-based systems that use data inputs to make decisions on their own. This definition purposely leaves out whether the machine actually ‘thinks,’ as this has been the object of heated debate for a long time. Within the AI industry, some of the technology categories are machine learning, data science, conversational platforms, computer vision, AI chips, smart robots, and context-aware computing. There are two ways AI works, one is symbolic, and the other is data-based. Symbolic learning means you teach a machine symbols humans can understand, such as things, people, and actions. Symbolic AI has been referred to as Good Old-Fashioned AI (GOFAI). While the data-based approach, commonly referred to as machine learning, involves feeding the program a lot of data. It then decides by itself what is essential for making a decision. AEye Inc is a major company making its mark in the AI sector. AEye is a US-based autonomous technology company.
