LISBON, PORTUGAL: Artificial intelligence (AI) will one day take on decision making and planning, freeing up enterprise employees for more creative roles. Speaking at the Web Summit 2016 technology conference in Lisbon, Portugal on Tuesday, the executive said that the "robotic enterprise" is closer than we think -- with some roles already well on the way to being ran almost exclusively by machine learning (ML), AI and algorithms. One of today's biggest opportunities for IT to make an impact is by automating business processes, manufacturing, repetitive tasks, and more. Volkswagen has a total of three centers and research labs dedicated to researching AI applications and "taking AI into a completely different environment," according to the CIO. Each of these centers is working not only in the creation of connected car solutions, but also in developing AI systems for speeding up corporate processes -- all of which eventually becomes public domain.

The polls have consistently showed Hillary Clinton with a lead over Donald Trump in recent weeks, but an artificial intelligence system has a different prediction for the outcome of the presidential election. The system, called MogIA, uses 20 million data points from online platforms like Google, YouTube, and Twitter to come up with its predictions, according to CNBC. MogIA correctly predicted the past three presidential elections as well as the Democratic and Republican primaries. "While most algorithms suffer from programmers/developer's biases, MoglA aims at learning from her environment, developing her own rules at the policy layer and develop expert systems without discarding any data," Sanjiv Rai, the founder of Indian start-up Genic.ai MogIA uses data such as engagement with tweets and videos posted to the platforms the system looks at.

The idiom "never judge a book by its cover" warns against evaluating something purely by the way it looks. And yet book covers are designed to give readers an idea of the content, to make them want to pick up a book and read it. Good book covers are designed to be judged. And humans are quite good at it. It's relatively straightforward to pick out a cookery book or a biography or a travel guide just by looking at the cover.

Throughout history, technological innovations have advanced and changed how people live, work and survive. First was the Agricultural Revolution, then Industrial Revolution, and now we are towards the end of the Digital Revolution. The Internet, mobile and smartphone industries are at the end of the technology adoption life cycle, having reached significant market penetration and maturity in developed nations. Scientists, researchers and pioneering venture capital investors are on the edge of creating the next major epoch in history, the Artificial Intelligence Revolution (or AIR, as an acronym). There are several factors contributing to the rise in advancements in Artificial Intelligence.

With Google, Microsoft and Facebook all pushing artificial intelligence, AI is becoming the next battleground for agencies, perpetually on the hunt for new service lines. AI basically gives machines the ability to think like humans. A simple example: You can have a one-on-one conversation with another person, but AI can talk to 500 people at the same time and make decisions based on real-time data to learn what's going on in each conversation, explained Dave Meeker, vp of Isobar's U.S. operations. In the context of advertising and marketing, AI theoretically means more personalized and interactive consumer experience, including targeted programmatic ad buys, identification of site visitors' decision-making patterns, conversational commerce like bots, as well as smarter search and recommendation engines on websites, according to six agency executives interviewed for this article. At the moment, with the help of AI developed by big tech companies, agencies are able to serve cognitive ads and integrate voice-activated assistants in their campaigns.

According to the heads of a number of online retailers, artificial intelligence (AI) will play a key role in the future of the industry due to how it can be utilised to aid consumers in discovering new products and identifying what they want to buy. The chief executive of Shop Direct, Alex Baldock, believes that AI could be the company's "big bet" as it will provide a significant advantage to the retailer when dealing with its customers. Baldock explained how the new technology could help its business during a panel discussing technology's role in business, saying: "You have three seconds to seize the shopper's attention – it's called thumb stopping, the three-second audition. That's where personalisation comes in." Adrian Blair, the chief executive of Just Eat, was also present on the panel and noted that his company takes 80 per cent of its orders on mobile devices.

I'm surprised that people haven't been more worried about this. Artificial Intelligence is part of the way forward, but we have to be very careful about it.
