What is the Artificial intelligence Index?

The AI Index Report tracks, collates, distills, and visualizes data relating to artificial intelligence. Its mission is to provide unbiased, rigorous, and comprehensive data for policymakers, researchers, journalists, executives, and the general public to develop a deeper understanding of the complex field of AI.
Artificial intelligence Indices (AI) makes it possible for machines to learn from experience, adjust to new inputs and perform human-like tasks. Most AI examples that you hear about today – computers to self-driving cars – rely heavily on deep learning and natural language processing.
AI automates repetitive learning and discovery through data. Instead of automating manual tasks, AI performs frequent, high-volume, computerized tasks. And it does so reliably and without fatigue. Of course, humans are still essential to set up the system and ask the right questions.

AI adds intelligence to existing products. Many products you already use will be improved with AI capabilities, much like Siri was added as a feature to a new generation of Apple products. Automation, conversational platforms, bots and smart machines can be combined with large amounts of data to improve many technologies. Upgrades at home and in the workplace, range from security intelligence and smart cams to investment analysis.

AI adapts through progressive learning algorithms to let the data do the programming. AI finds structure and regularities in data so that algorithms can acquire skills. Just as an algorithm can teach itself to play chess, it can teach itself what product to recommend next online. And the models adapt when given new data.

How Artificial Intelligence Works
AI works by combining large amounts of data with fast, iterative processing and intelligent algorithms, allowing the software to learn automatically from patterns or features in the data. AI is a broad field of study that includes many theories, methods and technologies, as well as the following major subfields:
• Machine learning
• A neural network
• Deep learning
• Advanced algorithms

What is Thematic Index and its Investment Approach?

The Indxx Millennials Thematic Index is designed to track the performance of companies that provide exposure to the Millennial generation, (“Millennial Companies”). The Millennial generation refers to the demographic cohort in the US with birth years ranging from 1980 to 2000. The index has been backtested to April 16, 2010 and has a live calculation date of April 19, 2016.
It is a top-down investment approach that attempts to identify long-term, structural trends that the investor expects to be dominant in the future and drive performance of their investments in a rapidly-transforming world.
Our suites of thematic indexes represent the performance of companies associated with long-term, structural trends that many investors expect to be dominant in the future and drive performance of their investments in a rapidly-transforming world. Profound demographics changes, technological disruptions and changing consumer behavior are transforming societies globally and thus many investors are seeking to realign portfolios to these changing dynamics.

Thematic investing offers an alternative framework for analyzing investment opportunities. It is different from investing based on topical fads as it is an investment approach where the investment process focusses on how the world around us is changing. The thematic investment process relies on articulating the investment objective and then selecting companies which will benefit from wider adoption of the theme.
