AI has become the latest bandwagon onto which everyone wants to jump.

AI has become the latest bandwagon onto which everyone wants to jump. Organizations need to figure out which solutions (and vendors) are credible and which are merely looking to benefit from the hype. In my earlier post on this subject, I proposed three questions to ask a vendor about their AI capabilities. Here I'll build on those earlier comments with three additional questions. Taken together, these can give you a solid test of who really knows AI and who doesn't.

Just as 2017 was the year of ransomware and 2018 was the year of crypto mining, 2019 could go down as the year of artificial intelligence (AI). It's gotten to the point where we've had prospects tell us, "If you mention AI, I'm leaving." So many solutions claim to use AI that organizations are at risk of missing out on beneficial, credible AI-powered products because of the hype and false claims. Professionals should discern which solutions (and vendors) are credible and which are just jumping on the bandwagon. In this post, I'll give you some specific questions that will help you tell the difference.
