you [Music] you [Music] ai is of course a field in computer science where people try to make autonomous agents smart and behave like humans but what I really means for most businesses that's who we are targeting is basically make better decisions there currently is based on rules based distance so where some human has programmed something like if H is more than 5 and income less than 50,000 then deny or something and these rules getting out of placed by smarter machines that automatically generate those rules and you can have a billion rules that are auto-generated and they might be more complicated than those if else decisions but those complicated decisions basically make better choices than humans whether that's playing a computer game or making business transactional decisions for translating languages that's basically AI for enterprise so AI has made huge strides in translating languages and looking at images understanding what's in the images understanding sound these unstructured data sets but but it's still not good at is in figuring out what the humans actually wants so for example if you have a data set of transactions everybody who's ever swipe the credit card in the last two years now you could ask a lot of questions and AI has no clue what questions to ask or has no clue about who to deny the credit for example or not or who to go after and say I can double your credit or I can give you a better account or something like that ai doesn't know that on its own right so it still needs humans to make up those questions and then use the answers to decide what kitty so the translations of the business is still lacking so at h2o I and me as a CTO I'm varied and I'm focusing on making the customer happy write a customer says mella has this insurance problem I need to figure out what my mother ate should be fully insurance and how do i best model that and so my focus is on making better algorithms better data science workflow so that the arbitrary people in the market out there can be more productive whether that's a data scientist or even the business analyst or the super geeky Cargill master I want to please them all so I stay up at night trying figuring out places where i can improve this kind of virtual experience so that everybody can be more productive I like all AI conferences because it's such a thriving feels right now and every week there's a new paper on something new and exciting and I like to see how people are applying these new methods to a new use cases and pushing forward the envelope of AI [Music] you
