The main success of artificial intelligence depends on expertise and education.

Lots of big companies offer AI expertise: IBM, Amazon, Microsoft, and a host of other big and small organizations and online talent marketplaces like Upwork, Fiverr and Toptal.

Fourth, Experfy is expanding its educational role by creating certification tracks that define and assess professional competence in AI applications. It has also begun a new initiative to assess and benchmark employee competence and design learning paths that can be highly personalized for each employee. Their plan is to provide these tools at low or no cost.

Fifth, Experfy is now piloting the creation of Experfy Cloud, a unique future of work talent platform, with companies like Deloitte, that combine direct access to it's 30,000 AI experts as well as the ability to include other advisors, employees, alumni and retirees on the platform, creating its own flexible blended workforce.

The industry is betting big on AI and big data, viewing it as a foundational technology that will reset the S Curve and propel a transformative era in work. Here are some recent stats:

IDC forecasts that investments in AI will grow from $12 billion dollars in 2017 to almost $60 billion in 2021.
Deloitte predicts the number of artificial intelligence- machine learning implementations will double in 2018 compared to 2017, and double in 2019.

There are many vertically aligned online talent marketplaces, of course, and you will be introduced to a new startup at least weekly. What makes Experfy interesting is its focus on AI, the broad and deep expertise it represents, and the way its mission fuses commercial and educational goals. You will like the practicality of its educational commitment and their recognition of the critical role of education in diffusing innovations like AI.
