News Analysis: America In An @RealDonaldTrump Era – Everything International Clients Need To Know PESTEL Part 1. November 10, 2016

Prospects of universal AI ethics seem slim. However the five design pillars will serve organizations well beyond the social fads and fears. The goal – build controls that will identify biases, show attribution, and enable course correction as needed. Ready to roll out your plans for AI? Do you understand the business model implications?

The quest for mass personalization at scale in an era of artificial intelligence (AI) has led to new models of design for the future of applications. One design point for these new AI driven smart apps is a concept called Infinite Ambient Orchestration. As new systems are created, organizations can expect this design point as a first principal for AI driven systems. So what will you automate first with AI?

The rush to exponential technologies in new business models has placed artificial intelligence (AI) in the forefront of boardroom priorities for 2018. This report provides a framework on how to realize the path to full AI, design for infinite ambient orchestration, build any AI-driven smart service and identify when to automate with AI. Scientists have long aspired to recreate humans in machine form. While early attempts focused on the physical aspects of humanity, today's computer scientists have aspired to recreate the intelligence aspects in computer form. From vision to hearing, speech, touch and smell, scientists have come closer to replicating our five senses in the pursuit of artificial intelligence (AI).

Over the past year, almost every conversation on artificial intelligence involved a discussion on ethics, humanity, and policy. Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words. In this case, one can look to Hollywood for a few good suggestions to ponder. The Matrix raises many philosophical points from perceptions of reality. For instance, has a general artificial intelligence fully manipulated humanity?

Recent client conversations indicate a desire for designing new AI Driven Smart Services. The rush to incorporate artificial intelligence into processes often requires a deeper examination of which services should be AI enabled. Constellation's latest framework for augmenting humanity encompasses six factors (see Figure 1): Six factors play a significant role in identifying which AI driven smart services deliver the greatest opportunities. Early adopters have prioritized business processes using the Constellation business hierarchy of needs. Keep in mind, that AI enablement must require a strong data strategy, deep data governance, mature business process optimization, and a data driven design point.

Over the past four decades, valiant attempts at personalization have failed due to the lack of relevant and intelligent automation. Moreover, expectations of consumers and prospects have only grown. Currently, the fashionable approach is predictive. Prediction does a great job of using past history to foretell future patterns. If one knows a person always gets a specific type of coffee at the same time every day, that's predictive.

The combination of machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, and cognitive computing will change the ways that humans and machines interact with our environments. AI-driven smart services will sense one's surroundings, know one's preferences are from past behavior, and subtly guide people and machines through their daily lives in ways that will truly feel seamless. This quest to deliver AI driven smart services across all industries and business processes will usher the most significant shift in computing and business this decade and beyond. Organizations can expect AI driven smart services to impact future of work flows, IOT services, customer experience journeys, and block chain distributed ledgers. Success requires the establishment of AI outcomes (see Figure 1).

As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to move from the summer of hype to the fall tech conference news cycle, mass confusion has begun on what AI can be used for. From fears of SKYNET, to hopes for the computer in StarTrek and Jarvis in Iron Man, the value will come from defining the proper outcomes. AI is more than just a fad. With a market size of $100B by 2025, Constellation sees the AI subsets of machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, and cognitive computing taking the market by storm (see Figure 1). The disruptive nature of AI comes from the speed, precision, and capacity of augmenting humanity.
