Artificial intelligence (AI) has virtually unlimited applications that are part of our everyday life. It offers countless solutions across all industries. Artificial intelligence is a major market player in the business world.

We are entering the third Internet era, and businesses need to be ready for cloud-integrated networks. Cloud integration creates an environment in the organisation that can meet the demands for data, automation of business processes and the anticipated widespread disruption. We offer sound advice on how to keep up with the latest IT trends. BPaaS is a vertical business process that employs a cloud-computing service model. It's growing in popularity as businesses seek to optimise processes with fewer operational costs.

Every piece of IT hardware runs on software, make no mistake. For the new era of mobile handheld devices to become truly smart smartphones, they will need to exhibit new software processing powers over and above the ability to'simply' take photos, play games and surf the web. To be clear, the next era of smart smartphones will feature an increasing amount of machine learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI). This assertion (or is it almost a truism?) is at the heart of Chinese telecommunications giant's strategy. The firm has (literally) etched AI into the DNA of the'chipset' of its new line of Mate Series devices running on the new Kirin 970, a product described as the first AI processor for smartphones with a dedicated Neural Network Processing Unit (NPU) i.e. neural being'like a brain'.

Mobile has become an integral part of the shopping experience. As consumers spend more time with their mobile devices than with desktop and notebook computers combined, they're looking to their smartphones and tablets to complete more complex transactions. Yet, there is still room to grow for the retail industry's mobile experiences. While nearly one-third of retailer web traffic is from mobile devices, only 11 percent of sales come from mobile, according to Forrester's U.S. Mobile Phone and Tablet Commerce Forecast, 2015 - 2020. Mobile gives retailers opportunities to entice new customers, and retain returning customers, by allowing them to shop on their own terms.

Heading into the New Year, many digital marketers and analysts predicted that we would see some of the biggest changes in digital marketing yet. So, how have things shaken out so far? I turned to Brian Solis of Altimeter Group, Joe Pulizzi of Content Marketing Institute, and Adam Berke of AdRoll to find out. As of now, the most common use of artificial intelligence in marketing has been in the form of machine learning. Programmatic buying arose as one of the most prevalent uses of machine learning a few years ago, and other uses of AI include predictive customer service, recommendations, and content curation.
