“As soon as it works, nobody calls it AI anymore.” Those were the words of John McCarthy, a computer scientist who is considered one of the founding fathers of artificial intelligence. It makes you wonder when artificial intelligence (AI) will stop being a disruptive technology and just become something everyone uses to do things more […]
Israel is a country full of history, which is why they have more museums per capita than any other country. They also have the oldest continuously used cemetery in the world and the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world.

In a recent article, we talked about how NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) seems to be dominating “artificial intelligence (AI) hardware” with their GPUs. The only other major provider of GPUs, AMD (NASDAQ:AMD), doesn’t seem to be all that interested in aggressively marketing to an AI audience.

In fact, what happened this past Friday represented the dawn of an artificial intelligence (AI) computing era which is being led by an artificial intelligence stock that rocked […]
Before tucking into some really cool deep learning applications, we need a bit of context first. Probably the most intriguing and exciting technology today is artificial intelligence (AI), a broad term that covers a swath of technologies like machine learning and deep learning. As investors, our ears perked up when we first heard about AI and we […]
We’ve talked before about voice recognition software and even wrote an entire article using the Nuance (NASDAQ:NUAN) voice recognition software as a sort of experiment to see just how far voice recognition has come along. We weren’t blown away by the experience but we could see that voice recognition has come a long way. However, […]
We’re investors, so when we think about the most exciting application for artificial intelligence (AI) we can’t help but think of using AI to tell us how to make money in the stock market. The idea of automated trading has been around for a long time now. Also known as algorithmic trading, the use of automation […]
Unfortunately for retail investors, you can’t invest in artificial intelligence yet.
