Artificial Intelligence will go beyond the hype in 2019

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the most hyped technologies around, touted to disrupt industries and entire ways of working. John Gikopoulos, Global Head of Artificial Intelligence & Automation at Infosys Consulting, reflects on five of the biggest artificial intelligence developments that can be expected this year. AI will have the most revolutionary impact on our personal and working lives of perhaps any technology in recent memory. While the technology enjoyed much hype in 2018, 2019 will be the year when AI's true impact becomes unavoidable. But its effects will reach beyond products and devices – AI will transform job roles and create new industries; it will spawn new challengers that will threaten long-established businesses that fail to plan adequately for the brave new world of artificial intelligence.
