AI tools and techniques will get more pervasive, tech exec says

One reason AI is getting easier to deploy is that enterprises are creating and managing more data than ever before, driven in part by plummeting storage costs. This data is a key ingredient for training machine learning algorithms. At the same time, advanced algorithms are becoming standardized and made available to anyone via open source software and programming languages like Python. Varma said these trends make it possible for virtually any business to get started with AI. Recommendation engines and personalized website experiences are the first areas in which Varma expects businesses to get involved.
