AI is here, and you should embrace it

There can be little debate that artificial intelligence (AI) is now becoming more and more a part of everyday life. With the rise of AI consumer products like the Amazon Echo, the public is seeing how incredibly useful this technology is when applied to their lives. However, for businesses around the world, jumping on the AI bandwagon and effectively implementing it in the day-to-day running of a company probably seems like a far fetched idea. Much of the focus on AI and its business application has been related to job losses and phasing out certain professions. For example, recently a Japanese company laid off over 30 employees to be replaced by robots.
