AI: The Fuel Propelling Businesses Into the Future

Artificial intelligence (AI) has reached a crescendo in business conversation. The technology is on the tip of the tongue for so many--from early stage start-ups to established global enterprises--because the technology is a powerful addition to any company. According to one report, 61 percent of companies implemented AI in their business in 2017. For most of these businesses, the technology works in the background to make sense of the massive stores of data the companies collect: The AI assists (by managing the data) and augments (by augmenting human analytical competencies). To become an AI-fueled organization--one that has a clear edge over competition--the AI should also become autonomous (by taking action without human intervention).
