Alibaba on what technology is driving the AI trend

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the debate du jour. Will it prove to be a smart investment or an overhyped flop? Does it really have the power to benefit businesses, or will end up doing more harm than good? Some of the world's heavyweight thinkers – from Tim Berners Lee to Stephen Hawking – have weighed in on both sides of the debate, cautioning that while we should be optimistic, we must not let the technology run rampant. For businesses, AI has taken on an almost mythical status; frequently touted as a panacea to many current IT challenges.
