The Future of AI: The voice of the enterprise - ETtech

By Atul Batra, Manthan The words "Beam me up, Scotty" created an indelible memory in my mind over thirty years ago. Never before would have anyone imagined that in as many years the world would be ushering in an era of artificial intelligence powered conversational platforms for business. As a teenager growing up with the sci-fi television series "Star Trek" I was fascinated with Captain Kirk saying the lines ".....to boldly go where no one has gone before." Such powerful portrayal of the future played a part in inspiring me to go after computer sciences as a specialization in college. All those years of dreaming, and now the association with analytics and AI, have led to one absolute reality that in the short span of perhaps 18 to 24 months a wide variety of businesses globally will be working with algorithmic powered conversational platforms that serve as intelligent business advisors.
