3 Steps to Gear Up for AI and the Future of Work

The Fourth Industrial Revolution is upon us, and we're already seeing massive changes in workplace connectivity, collaboration, productivity and (of course) technology. One of the biggest changes is the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI). From automation and virtual assistants to systems capable of analyzing massive data sets to find trends, AI represents one the biggest opportunities that business leaders can take advantage of now to ready themselves for the future. The number of enterprises implementing AI has already grown 270 percent in the past four years, according to a Gartner survey of more than 3,000 CIOs. So "if you are a CIO and your organization doesn't use AI, chances are high that your competitors do and this should be a concern," said Gartner analyst Chris Howard.
