7 Ways Airlines Use Artificial Intelligence and Data Science to Improve Operations

Technology changes the way businesses interact with their customers, make business decisions, and build workflows. For instance, such actions as booking a flight via phone or conducting solely offline surveys seem unusual these days. Real-time access to data -- the 21st-century oil -- allows organizations to take informed steps towards operational efficiency. We discussed with data science specialists and AI startupers how airline industry players use cognitive technologies to reach new heights.
