Uncovering what companies are best deploying artificial intelligence

Artificial intelligence is infiltrating every industry, allowing vehicles to navigate without drivers, assisting doctors with medical diagnoses, and mimicking the way humans speak.

A third analyzes massive data sets to make street-by-street weather predictions.
