Charles Schwab investment advisor says. “Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the ability of a computer to perform cognitive tasks such as perception, reasoning, learning, and problem solving. The Artificial Intelligence theme focuses on companies developing this technology or applying it to their business. In recent years, the development of deep learning has increased the performance of computers in a variety of AI tasks – equaling or surpassing human performance. Combined with the democratization of AI algorithms through open-source libraries, these advancements have been enabling AI to play a larger role in many industries, not just the technology sector, as well as our daily lives. We interact with phones and speakers through voice assistants and with businesses through chatbots. AI is used in online shopping systems and streaming services in an effort to give us personalized recommendations. New AI tools are in development for diagnosing medical conditions and creating new drugs. AI is driving automation in factories and other workplaces. While these technologies have already produced results, future real-world applications of AI may not match the hype. Alternatively, it may be difficult to maintain first-mover advantage when these technologies become widespread, and the technological advancements may not pass through to financial performance.”
