What is Artificial Intelligence (AI)?

Artificial Intelligence is an umbrella term for a range of concepts and technologies that allow machines to exhibit human-like capabilities. Some common implementations include self-driving cars, human-impersonating chatbots, and facial recognition apps. A few recent breakthroughs have led to applications that don't just mimic human intelligence but go well above and beyond, performing tasks that are otherwise impossible for humans.

AI dates back to the 1950s and has been through several boom and bust cycles. Over the past few years, we've seen tremendous resurgence in investment and excitement in AI due to the culmination of three key ingredients: 

Abundant and cheap parallel computation with GPUs

Growing data sets and collection techniques

Advancements in underlying algorithms -- especially the advent of a neural network-based approach called Deep Learning

Artificial Intelligence + Paperspace

Paperspace enables teams to quickly develop, track, and deploy machine learning models from concept to production. The platform provides infrastructure automation and model lifecycle management with organization-wide visibility, reproducibility, and governance as first-class citizens. 

For AI Engineers, Paperspace provides the freedom to use familiar tools. Since Paperspace provides DevOps support and resource orchestration, teams can focus on training algorithms and creating business value. 

For organizations, Paperspace reduces project costs by streamlining hardware resources and data science team productivity. The Kubernetes-native platform provides a unified ML hub that maximizes speed to deployment and time-to-value.
