The Future of AI is Hybrid: TECHnalysis Research Survey Report

The latest TECHnalysis Research Hybrid AI Study, which surveyed over 1,000 IT decision-makers from medium and large organizations across ten US industries, offers a compelling snapshot of this transition.

One of the most impressive applications of AI-powered speech processing is real-time translation. Being able to speak naturally in one language and then have an AI application convert it to another so that you can comfortably converse with someone who speaks a different language is pretty amazing. Until now, however, you’ve had to have an app for that...
