CIOs Must Put AI on the Fast Track

Artificial intelligence (AI) isn't a new concept: It's been around for decades and has steadily marched forward. Today, many of the capabilities and features in computers, tablets and smartphones tap AI. The list includes things such as speech processing, image recognition and advanced analytics. But AI is now moving forward at a furious rate. Fueled by advances in cloud computing, mobility, the internet of things (IoT), and neural networks that use GPUs to conduct machine learning, AI is redefining virtually every industry and every discipline. A recent study conducted by consulting firm Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) found that 84 percent of companies are already using AI in some form or another.
