For most of the articles we write, we don’t consult with the companies beforehand. This helps keep things objective and saves us a great deal of time not having to do the whole “back and forth” thing with some public relations firm that’s getting paid good money while we do free work for them. Speaking directly to founders is almost […]
It’s a common and generally accepted misconception that artificial intelligence (AI) will only automate and revolutionize repetitive and menial jobs – like HR and recruiting. In our article “What Jobs will Robots and AI Do in The Future?”, we looked at some jobs that may already have casualties from the AI revolution. As we would expect, most […]
We cover topics about artificial intelligence quite often on Nanalyze because it promises to be one of the most disruptive technologies in our lifetime.

Estimates from just a few years ago said we would need to increase agricultural production by 70 percent to feed nine billion people. A more recent estimate says we can expect closer to […]
As responsible investors, we want to invest in proven companies and technologies that have put in some miles, while keeping one eye on what may be coming towards us on the road ahead. Plus, it’s just cool to see what’s happening at the forefront of any industry, even if most ideas (and more than a […]
The world is hungry for data. It feeds on information like a fat man at a Golden Corral’s all-you-can-eat buffet. It’s how we know whether to grab a coat in the morning before leaving the house. It dictates how we design highways and how we build relationships. Without big data, artificial intelligence would most likely […]
In a recent article, we wrote about 11 Smart City Solutions, we briefly touched on energy by highlighting a company called AutoGrid which creates “virtual power plants” of sorts.
