Dawn of the autonomous era: AI, Machine Learning, and People Analytics

"Investment in AI to grow by 300 per cent in 2017, from an estimated $8 billion last year." The technology -- Artificial Intelligence has long been aiming at imitating human intelligence, which now seems to be paying heed to human patterns and behaviours.

By employing predictive and prescriptive methods, AI can detect loopholes and suggest relevant solutions to issues. Last year, we saw the spirit of accepting the growing influence of smart & intelligent machines by various major companies, thought leaders and academicians while this year would be the year of integration in real-time.
