Artificial Intelligence-Journey towards the Center of the Enterprise

Marc Andreessen had famously said software is eating the world. He probably had Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the back of his mind. In its simplistic form, AI enables a machine to perform human-like tasks, such as image, voice and text recognition, natural language processing and understanding human-like perception. The journey of AI from Expert Systems in the early eighties to Heuristics analysis, machine learning and finally to present day deep learning has been a roller coaster ride. Just a few years back, people thought neural networks were something academicians talked in their leisure time.
