How artificial intelligence will transform marketing - Mobile Commerce Daily - Columns

The concept of artificial intelligence (AI) has always fascinated humans. The ancient Greek myths of Hephaestus and Pygmalion incorporated the idea of intelligent robots and artificial beings. In the 1950s, British scientist Alan Turing proposed the now-famous Turing Test as a measure of machine intelligence, and Isaac Asimov published his Three Laws of Robotics. The Turing Test has been long passed, and AI is an everyday occurrence with Siri and Google Now. At the same time SMS messaging has become the most popular method of written communication in history, with an estimated 6 billion humans now using mobile messaging to talk to each other around the world.
