The AI Revolution Will Humanize Businesses

In the last decade, technology has made it cheaper and easier to start new businesses, finance them, realize operational efficiencies and scale geographically. It has also empowered customers and employees through social media, which has created opportunities for competitors. While these changes have been transformative, coming technology advances in the areas of smart robotics, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things and Big Data ("AI Revolution") will metamorphose how businesses are staffed, operated and managed. Businesses of the future will look a lot different than the businesses of today. Most will be staffed by some combination of smart robots, smart machines and people.
