Winning a Formula E race comes down to a few things. First, there's the car -- how well it's made, how fast it drives, how easily it handles. Then there's the talent of the driver, and the speed in which that driver can react to blisteringly fast-paced situations. There's the skill level of a team's crew, the enthusiasm and dedication of its fan base, and the amount of luck that is on its side the day of the race. Lift up the hood on each one of those factors and you'll discover a shared element -- underneath all the possible external factors, what may ultimately decide the winner of a race is data, and how well one team is able to process and distill that data and use it to make strategic decisions and boost its Formula E technology.

In 2014, ABB FIA Formula E became the world's first fully-electric, international, single-seater racing championship. It was as groundbreaking for the world of motorsport as the inception of car-to-pit telemetry in the 1980s. It's sitting in the Envision Virgin Racing garage, where Envision Virgin Racing, with professional services firm Genpact, is working to embed artificial intelligence (AI) into the team-. This partnership will turn data into insight, and transform the team's decision-making at high speed. It's no surprise then, that today's teams are inundated with data on everything from pre-race track conditions to detailed telemetry from sensors monitoring every major component and system in the car.

Extreme automation and global connectivity are the needs of the hour and therefore artificial intelligence (AI) is imperative. AI is an amalgamation of several technologies that enable smart machines to perform human-like tasks by sensing, understanding, acting, and learning, thereby making life much simpler. The technologies constituting AI include machine learning, natural language processing, speech recognition, image processing, intelligent agents, and chatbots. AI has transformed the way businesses run, compete, and thrive today. It improves productivity, greatly helps reduce errors, allows to perform difficult and laborious tasks, and increases customer satisfaction.
