It's time for your business to get serious about AI Access AI

It's been 60 years since the term artificial intelligence was first coined by computer scientist John McCarthy, but it's only now the true benefits and potential are starting to truly be realised. Billed by some as the fourth industrial revolution, AI is no longer a subject of science-fiction, or one that only applies for future generations. Thanks to astronomical leaps in computing power, software and access to unthinkable amounts of data, intelligent machines are now a reality and set to have one of the biggest – if not the biggest – transformative impact on the business world ever seen. Some, like Intel, have even gone as far to describe AI as the most important breakthrough since the discovery of fire and the invention of the wheel. "When we look back and as we look forward, I believe we are now at the doorstep of yet another major revolution," said Intel SVP platform engineering Amir Faintuch during last month's Mobile World Congress.
