Let's stop the bullshit with Artificial Intelligence
Advertising: FB and Google have used AI for years to display the optimal ads according to the data they have collected from each user. Entertainment: Spotify or Netflix use AI to recommend content (songs/tv shows) that might appeal to each customer, which significantly boosts user engagement. Healthcare: the cancer diagnosis is very costly and overburdened; therefore the industry is using AI technology like computer vision to help doctors better manage more patient cases and minimize diagnosis mistakes. As you can see AI can offer real value when it's applied correctly; however, things started going south when VCs began to invest billions of dollars into all kind of startups who promised to change the world with AI. We're starting to see scenarios in which pretty much every single startup is integrating AI just so they gain competitive advantage. When attending to a biz conference, 90% of startups claim they make use of AI-powered solutions.
