What do you mean exactly ? I've been running a machine learning / reinforcement / optimization service company since 2015 and our customers range from the largest EU corps to small and mid size startups. If you mean how many customers use AI/DL/RL in production right now, it's a smaller percentage of our customers, around 25% I'd say, but growing, slowly. Most is about research roadmaps and testing this testing that, though these can be yezr long projects.

DL integration into or as a replacement to pieces of software stacks, plus long term model updates, measurements, testing and avoiding regressions (very hard, think of ensuring all past samples are similarly predicted as before after a model update, that's beyond simply improving the accuracy) is difficult and standard practice is building up slowly.

Hi, what services do you use for data annotation? We've been using DL for some projects of ours and had to set up a data annotation team (remote) to get more control over the labeling process. We are looking to see if others might be interested in utilizing a service like ours, which will also help the people we've acquired gainfully employed. At present we are mainly looking at taking on small projects. If this is of interest, please do let me know! I posted about this here, but hasn't surfaced enough to generate conversation https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17874184
