Are you going to passively allow AI to be a powerful tool that your competitors take advantage of while you steer clear because you don’t understand it, or will you find ways to harness, control and benefit from adopting an AI strategy to be ahead of the crowd?

AI is not just for big companies with huge budgets; there are AI applications available today that will benefit SMEs if the strategy and adoption is correct.

Internet giants such as Google, Facebook and Amazon are all AI platforms guiding what we see and when we see it, thus having a huge effect on our decision processes, especially when we make purchasing decisions.

Over the next few years AI will decipher an unimaginable amount of information collected by billions of sensors embedded into our cars, draped over our bodies in wearable smart clothes, and in our homes and public spaces.

This of course is in the future, but we will see this unfold at rapid speed during the course of this decade. Just as the Internet became ubiquitous in our everday lives for both our personal and work lives quite quickly, so too will AI, but perhaps even faster.

Today, AI is already playing a major role in many industries including financial services, insurance, healthcare and marketing.
