The Covid-19 pandemic was devastating for many industries, but it only accelerated the use of artificial intelligence across the U.S. economy. Amid the crisis, companies scrambled to create new services for remote workers and students, beef up online shopping and dining options, make customer call centers more efficient and speed development of important new drugs.
Even as applications of machine learning and perception platforms become commonplace, a thick layer of hype and fuzzy jargon clings to AI-enabled software.That makes it tough to identify the most compelling companies in the spaceâespecially those finding new ways to use AI that create value by making humans more efficient, not redundant.

Since the Secretary of State’s last report (March 11, 2021), 1,188,073 signatures for the Gavin Newsom Recall petition effort have been verified by the office. That was over a month ago, and with only 1,459,709 verified signatures required to trigger a Recall election, and a validation rate of over 80 percent, it looks like that number will be reached, if it has not already.
Officials are expected to have the final tally by the end of April.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s critics almost certainly have qualified a recall election for the ballot, a remarkable feat in the heavily Democratic state. https://t.co/QUQOapzm4j
