Artificial Intelligence: A Mega-Trend Showing No Signs of Slowing Down

For all of the talk about disruptive innovation and new technologies in our digital-first world, one of the most promising mega-trends is artificial intelligence ("AI"). AI sounds almost too good to be true, yet it is already showing signs of truly transforming the way that we work and play. But while AI generates so much discussion in the tech and business world these days, much of the discussion is vague or uninformed. It is easy for the general public to hear some mention or reference to AI and think of a superhuman thinking machine that will take over the world or disruptive technology that is going to cost them their jobs. The simple reality is that the impact of AI is much more nuanced than that.
