The promise of AI and why we're not there yet - TechHQ

You know the story already. Artificial intelligence (AI) and the machine learning (ML) engines that drive it are about to reinvent every aspect of business and propel us forward into a new era of intelligent business systems, ultra-connected networks and sentient machines that can help manage and direct our workloads for us. AI is arguably already the over-talked technology subject of the decade in spite of its undeniable second era now showing us real applications for the real world -- it's first era being the fanciful stuff of Hollywood Sci-Fi movies throughout the 1970s and 1980s. One of the main stumbling blocks is business tradition, that is – all too many enterprises will do'things' the way they've always been done because those systems just kind of work. These same firms run with a'why fix it if it's not broken' mentality.
