AI Ushers in a New Era of Business and Tech

Rapid, radical advances in artificial intelligence and deep learning in business are changing the stakes--and ushering in a new era of business and technology. Artificial intelligence (AI) has always seemed a bit futuristic. The ability of machines to tap massive amounts of data and use algorithms to "think" and'adapt" on the fly has been an alluring, if t somewhat elusive, concept. However, over the past few years, advances in digital technology have begun to redefine the AI landscape and usher in real-world capabilities. "We are seeing the technology take off in a big way," says Satya Ramaswamy, vice president and global head of digital enterprise for Tata Consultancy Services (TCS).
