"This is one of those inflection points where I don't think anybody really has a full view of the significance of the change this is going to have on not just companies but society as a whole," says Patrick Milligan, chief information security officer at Ford, which is making AI an important part of its transformation efforts and expanding its use across company operations. Given its game-changing potential--and the breakneck speed with which it is evolving--it is perhaps not surprising that companies are feeling the pressure to deploy AI as soon as possible: 98% say they feel an increased sense of urgency in the last year.

Machine Learning needs tons of data. But what are you going to do when the data only exist in the heads of your employees? However, I guess I provide a good list for your next round of Artificial Intelligence (AI) bullshit bingo. If you've never heard about this term before, just read until the end and you will get its idea and importance for AI.
