Everyday AI could become as ubiquitous and necessary as electricity

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming ubiquitous. It provides directions while we drive, answers our questions, offers music recommendations and powers a growing number of business processes in the workplace. In fact, AI is working its way into so many aspects of our personal and professional lives that my company has begun to refer to it as "everyday AI." Soon, I'd argue, it will become as ubiquitous -- and necessary -- as electricity. Yet, despite the progress, we've only scratched the surface in the potential ways that AI can, and no doubt will, change business and the world. Gartner has forecast that it will take until 2025 for half of organizations worldwide to reach what Gartner's AI maturity model describes as the "stabilization stage" of AI maturity or beyond.
