AI (artificial intelligence) and cognitive computing: AI business guide

Artificial intelligence is here for a long time in many forms and ways. In recent years significant progress has been made in some areas of AI. This doesn't mean that AI, in general, is evolving as fast, just those fields. And some of them are increasingly used for different domains of digital transformation. Instead of talking about artificial intelligence (AI), some describe the current wave of AI innovation and acceleration with – admittedly somewhat differently positioned – terms and concepts such as cognitive computing. Others focus on several real-life applications of artificial intelligence that often start with words such as "smart" (omnipresent in anything related to the Internet of Things and AI), "intelligent," "predictive" and, indeed, "cognitive," depending on the exact application – and vendor.
