To AI or Not to AI

One of the big topics that's being discussed at length for the last couple of years is artificial intelligence (AI). Machine learning is emerging as the field within AI that's seeing the most amounts of real-world applications and use cases. AI will impact almost every aspect over the next two decades and infotech is no exception. Take, for example, a historic event that unfolded in March 2016 demonstrated the power of machine learning: the victory of the program AlphaGo over professional gamer Lee Sedol in the Google DeepMind Challenge. This exciting technological breakthrough demonstrates how far AI has come, and how it's now able to catch humans out.
