However, increasingly more capable robots and artificial intelligence systems are capable of even more complex jobs that normally would require years of post-secondary training for a human to do. So far, these systems work in tandem with a human professional, but perhaps there will be a time when highly qualified personnel could be replaced too. Check out how artificial intelligence and robotics are being used in jobs that are surprisingly high-skill.

Is Artificial Intelligence In Marketing Overhyped?

#artificialintelligence

A recent survey of more than 300 marketers by Resulticks found that almost half thought artificial intelligence was an overhyped industry buzzword and 40% felt skeptical when they saw or heard the term.
