The digital transformation in manufacturing is accelerating. This means that companies that make things must move faster to innovate their products and transform the way those products are delivered from design to procurement to manufacturing to sustainment. They don't have to go at it alone.

Computer Vision is one of the many Artificial Intelligence solutions that will continue to transform manufacturing.

While some surveys show that people prefer to talk to a human as opposed to a chatbot, whether they're shopping online or dealing with a customer service issue, that hasn't dissuaded companies from adopting them. A 2019 Salesforce report found that 53% of service organizations expected to use chatbots within 18 months. According to Statista, the size of the global chatbot market could surpass $1.25 billion by 2025, a steep climb from $190 million in 2016. A customer's satisfaction -- or lack thereof -- with a chatbot ultimately depends on the scenario and the capabilities of the chatbot in question. Obviously, a chatbot that fails to answer basic questions will lead to frustration.

AI Forum, a business that was acquired by special economic zone company Euler Digital SEZC in February 2022, has released a global study on Enterprise AI in research partnership with Ernst & Young in the United States. The report describes key trends regarding AI adoption, expenditure and digital transformation. It also highlights the challenges related to governance, scalability and skills. Ian Gilmour, Euler Digital managing director and chair of the AI Forum Advisory Board, said, "After analysing data from more than 1,700 AI expert practitioners, we estimate that less than 20% of organizations had AI awareness training in place. As a result, it is clear that AI is not as established as may generally be thought."

The metaverse proposes a very different platform to the internet we're using today – and businesses must be ready. That's the key message in a new report from professional services company Accenture, titled Meet Me in the Metaverse. The metaverse is essentially a new immersive version of the internet. Instead of viewing digital content on a computer, we will wear virtual reality headsets to move around 3D digital environments. Here's a summary of the four key trends Accenture says will shape business processes over the next decade, as companies prepare for life in the metaverse. The WebMe trend is about how our virtual lives will be designed to deliver what we expect or want from the metaverse.
