Now startups are using related artificial intelligence techniques to solve business problems. Talla is building an interactive bot on Slack and HipChat for handling workflows in recruiting and human resources. The software uses natural language processing, word vectors, and some deep learning. Other startups, such as Gamalon, DataRobot, and Sentenai, are focused on probabilistic programming, data science, and machine learning for the Internet of things. Working with private data sets and business apps could help these startups avoid competing with the big players, at least for now.

Talla. Slack. HipChat. You need an ironic beard to work at these places.

  It's got to be better than working at Gamalon. That Desslok guy is a psychopath!

The cynicism expressed in the title of my post not withstanding, if AI can replace all the HR drones out there, fantastic! On the other hand, I'll never get a job again.
