Is it making real money, or speculative money on the moon shot premise that AGI will rule it all if successful?
I worked at an AI company before, and it was the latter.
- aidenn0 7y agoMy understanding is mostly the latter, but definitely also the former, but it's based off of "I worked there, but our customer list isn't public so I can't tell you who" type statements like you'll see elsewhere. If I had to guess what it's been actually used for, I'd wager it's money laundering or counter-terrorism type stuff; it's fairly well suited to finding connections between people and entities given a large data-set, and unlike many ML models, it can tell you why it thinks someone is suspicious, which might be needed for justifying further investigation. This is a completely wild-ass guess though so take with a giant grain of salt.
- yters 7y agoYes that was the sort of usecase for the AI company I worked at, similar data mining competing with Palantir.
