Ever since research scientists coined the term ‘artificial intelligence’ more than sixty years ago, the idea of a self-thinking computer has occupied a special place in the public consciousness. But now companies seem to have come around to the idea that, with enough technology and talent, A.I. can become an actual product.
Those firms include Google, IBM, Apple, Facebook, and Infosys. And they’re all fishing in the same talent pool for technology professionals who can build a workable A.I. platform. Such an unusual endeavor demands unusual skill-sets, making it difficult to land the right candidates for the job.
