Artificial intelligence set to jazz up software development and deployment ZDNet

Artificial intelligence and machine learning has the potential to boost many, many areas of the enterprise. As explored in my recent post, it is capable of accelerating and adding intelligence to supply chain management, human resources, sales, marketing and finance. The inevitable impact of AI on IT departments was touched on in a recent survey of 2,280 business leaders from MIT Sloan Management Review and SAS, which finds that in these early days of AI, IT professionals will be feeling the greatest impact -- both from a career and an operational point of view.. CIOs, chief data officers, and chief analytics officers will be on the front lines of AI implementations, the study finds. IT road maps, software development, deployment processes, and data environments are likely to be transformed in the near future. Most IT managers report that they are still developing foundational capabilities for AI -- cloud or data center infrastructure, cybersecurity, data management, development processes and workflow.
