Google and Microsoft, have realigned their groups around Machine Learning research and tools, applying AI to all products and services.
Artificial Intelligence was originally conceived in 1950, and we have seen examples of AI popping up culturally over the years.
From IBM’s Deep Blue victory over a chess grandmaster in 1996 to 2011 and IBM’s Watson dominating jeopardy competition on day 2. In 2016, Google’s Alpha Go algorithm beat the world’s best player in GO.
Every week, we see new examples of AI “learning” new skills from conquering competitive video games to learning how to walk in a virtual component.

The brand identity will suffer certain variations because in some cases, human contact with customers will be relegated in the background by the phenomenon known as machine learning.
