Guglielmo Iozzia is currently a Big Data Delivery Manager at Optum in Dublin (Ireland). He completed his Masters' Degree in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Bologna (Italy). For his final year engineering project, he designed and implemented a diagnostic system to predict the behaviour of the intracranial pressure on patients in neurosurgery intensive care. The project was part of a bigger one in a collaboration between the DEIS (Department of Engineering, Information and Systems) of the University of Bologna and the Policlinico Hospital of Milan and it was carried out using real patients' data. After his graduation, he joined a newborn IT company in Bologna which had implemented a new system to manage online payments.

It's late Saturday morning and Mrs. Little enters her usual supermarket, eyes fixed on her watch. In front of her, the aisles are overrun with shopping carts overflowing with all different types of products. She plunges into the crowd, weaving her way between the shoppers and dodging the promotional displays which block the middle of the aisles.

As her cart becomes heavier, it becomes more difficult to maneuver.

Today's Artificial Intelligence (AI) is what we like to call light AI. It uses algorithms and big data to analyze customers and behaviors, then spits out solutions or offers based off that data. But that doesn't mean we should ignore it or overlook its capabilities. In the current AI era, this information is still super useful for personalizing a customer experience and learning more about your business. As telcos undergo their digital transformation, they should think of ways to transform their business using AI.

A salesperson arranges Nike basketball shoes on display at the House Of Hoops by Foot Locker retail store at the Beverly Center in Los Angeles, California, U.S. Photographer: Patrick T.

For anyone who has ever run a business, when there is a flood of questions from customers, it's nearly impossible to keep up manually. Using a solution like Query Service in the AEP (Adobe Experience Platform) allows the brand to answer complex questions that require diving into the data and allows for scaling both the number of responses and allows for deep personalization.
