All the sessions from Transform 2021 are available on-demand now. Most AI vendors develop solutions that target broad use cases with large markets. This is because investors have shown they are only interested in a target market if it is worth several billion dollars. Therefore smaller markets have been excluded, and AI solution ideas designed for niche markets often die out and the companies behind them come to a standstill before they have the chance to see the light of day. Another side effect of the limited capital to build niche models is that AI vendors tend to build one model and market it to a large set of disparate users.

Big data was everywhere about 10 years ago, now the same is happening to Artificial Intelligence (AI). No single conference we attend, no single article we go through, no executive we talk to, or the term Artificial Intelligence is mentioned. Any self respecting software publisher, has the urge to mention in one way or the other Artificial Intelligence. When we dig deeper, mostly their AI are either automated processes or machine learning based algorithms providing specific models, for very specific and niche use cases. The real AI, as we know it from science fiction movies, is still far off.
