Background Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are big news and certain to have a disruptive effect on organisations. Over the past few years, the likes of recommendation engines and voice assistants have become part of my everyday life, and its a topic I want to get closer to. The challenge was that it traditionally seemed to require a PhD and deep expertise in algorithms. However, AWS have started bringing AI and ML into the hands of developers, with the introduction of hardware devices like AWS DeepLens and AWS DeepComposer.
