02 Logically

Logically uses AI to scale up the fight against one of the biggest problems plaguing the internet: misinformation. In August 2020, it launched a browser extension and app in the U.S. that enables users to fact-check info as it arises on social media.

03 Arm

With two new chips for small devices and sensors, renowned semiconductor maker Arm continues to push “Tinyml,” computationally intensive software that can operate entirely on small, low-power devices without needing access to the internet.

04 Cerebras Systems

Cerebras’s CS-1 computer, with its trillion-transistor processor, reduces the amount of time it takes to train and run AI models from months to minutes, and is being used to study black holes and nuclear fusion and to speed up drug discovery.

05 Algorithmic Justice League

As AI systems proliferate, the nonprofit AJL keeps them accountable for racial, gender, and other kinds of bias. The organization’s advocacy has helped convince local lawmakers to introduce bans on facial recognition technology.

06 Walmart

During the pandemic-induced online grocery rush, Walmart built “Customer Choice,” which predicts when items might be out of stock—and lets shoppers pick alternatives. Its debut helped Walmart nearly double e-commerce sales last spring.

07 Openai

The AI laboratory introduced the natural language model GPT-3 in May 2020, and it’s quickly become a revolutionary technology for its ability to mimic human speech. A surge of creative projects and startups have been built on top of its predictive tech.

08 Truera

Truera aims to take AI out of the black box, making it explainable and trustworthy by rooting out errors and bias. In 2020, large companies in banking and insurance embraced Truera to ensure that algorithms are being built fairly and equitably.

09 Adobe

In June 2020, Adobe launched Photoshop Camera, an app that brings the company’s expertise in computational photography to the viewfinder, automatically adjusting photos and letting users layer on filters and lenses in real time.

10 Wekaio

Wekaio’s product handles the intensity of modern data science in corporations, allowing companies to get the most out of GPU servers. The Weka File System enables IT teams to manage millions of files in the same directory for training AI models.
