Automate big decisions in a big data world - Cloud computing news

No longer only the domain of science fiction, artificial intelligence (AI) is poised to impact everything from how steel is produced to how banks recommend financial products and even to how farmers grow lettuce. It could even change how people move around cities and do business. At its core, AI can be defined as a set of technologies that enable computing systems to sense, comprehend and act. Within 10 years, AI and robotics are expected to make a creative disruption impact estimated of between $14 trillion and $33 trillion dollars in cost reductions across manufacturing and healthcare, enabled by the automation of knowledge work, according to a Bank of America Merrill Lynch report. Rule engine and expert systems have been essential components of symbolic artificial intelligence for decades.
