BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--O’Reilly, the premier source for insight-driven learning on technology and business, today announced the results of its 2018 Artificial Intelligence (AI) survey, “How Companies Are Putting AI to Work Through Deep Learning.” Focused on deep learning, a technique used primarily for supervised machine learning, the survey explores the adoption of tools and techniques to build AI applications and the barriers that hinder business adoption.
Findings suggest that the democratization of AI and deep learning applications will continue, as development tools and libraries improve. However, the shortage of AI-trained engineers and developers will persist. For example, while 54% of respondents indicated AI will play a big role (35%) or essential role (19%) in their organization’s future projects, lack of skilled people was the number one bottleneck reported.
Other key findings of the survey include:
“Despite some claims that AI is over-hyped, these results show that we can expect more companies to use deep learning to improve their own products and services in the coming year,” said Ben Lorica, O'Reilly chief data scientist and AI Conference chair. “With that will come a tremendous emphasis on training at every level – from college degree programs to professional trainers – as businesses seek to develop the deep learning skills of their own staff.”

Further exploring some of the most important trends and developments in enterprise AI, O’Reilly and Intel will host the upcoming AI Conference, taking place from April 29 – May 2 in New York City. Conference registration is now open, and a limited number of media passes are available for qualified journalists and analysts.
