Artificial Intelligence and the fourth industrial revolution has made some considerable progress over the last couple of years. Most of this current progress that is usable has been developed for industry and business purposes, as you’ll see in the coming posts. Research institutes and dedicated, specialized companies are working toward the ultimate goal of AI (cracking artificial general intelligence), developing open platforms and looking into the ethics that follow suit. There are also a good handful of companies working on AI products for consumers, which is what we’ll be kicking this series of posts off with.

I’ve trawled through literally thousands of websites (6,000+ links) over a few weeks to bring you a comprehensive list of the best AI products and most promising companies in the field.
