“Artificial intelligence is making its way into more and more areas of our lives. But how much of this is hype and how much is genuine innovation? And can improved AI learning models deliver better commercial solutions?

We spoke to Ben Lamm, CEO of Hypergiant Industries, a company at the cutting edge of solving problems with AI, to find out.

BN: AI seems to be a buzz phrase in everyone’s marketing at the moment, how can we distinguish the genuine from the hype?

BL: You should assume a solid majority of it is hype. Most people are still building automation solutions and few people are anywhere near building platforms that qualify as true artificial intelligence. If someone is trying to sell you an ‘AI platform’ that they say will benefit your business and there is no specific discussion of access to data, use cases, or training of models against your data, then it is probably hype.”
