                    Is your organization using AI techniques that involve your data warehouse? If you want to add AI to your analytics, you'll need to distinguish authentic AI from marketing jargon.

                    Many of the products and services Google showcased at I/O 2017 seemed consumer-oriented, but their potential for transforming business is clear, such as TensorFlowLite, a new, mobile-optimized version of Google's hugely popular machine-learning framework. 
                    
		            
                
                    
                    
                    
                 
            
                
	                 
                    
                                        
		            
                    New malware risks thousands of IoT cameras, an argument for open source data management, and distinguishing between machine learning, deep learning, and AI.
