The end result is artificial intelligence . Handling complex datasets requires deep neural nets ( DNNs ) that allow computers to both act autonomously and perceive the world on their own .
“ DNNs are what make smart machines appear intelligent ,” according to analysts at Gartner . “ DNNs enable hardware or softwarebased machines to learn for themselves all the features in their environment , from the finest details to broad sweeping abstract classes of content .”
In this fast evolving area , businesses that understand how to use advanced machine learning can get a huge competitive advantage .
Bluetooth Bluetooth-powered devices , also known as lighthouses , are now being installed in shopping malls , museums , hotels , airports and even offices to track the exact location of a smartphone or smartwatch wearer , and then send real-time notifications .
So far it ’ s been discussed as a way of texting vouchers to passing shoppers . But beyond mobile commerce the spread of intelligent , wireless Bluetooth beacon hardware also means indoor mapping and a lot more .
