How Artificial Intelligence is re-shaping our world

Have you ever stopped to ask this introspective question on how Artificial Intelligence might impact your career or organisation? I try to do this often because I have come to realise that a number of businesses will become extinct either because AI will affect them negatively or they fail to proactively anticipate the future. A McKinsey report after analysing some cases states, "Artificial intelligence impact will most likely be substantial in marketing and sales as well as supply-chain management and manufacturing." The same report states that "AI has the potential to create trillions of dollars of value across the economy, if business leaders work to understand what it can and cannot do." Looking at this critically, one would wonder how Nigeria's manufacturing industries would be able to compete with their counterparts abroad who are massively adding AI-powered tools and solutions to their production lines.
