Artificial intelligence is a game-changer.Early adopters are gaining a competitive advantage.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been around for quite a while. It’s an umbrella term that encompasses machine and deep learning, natural language processing and intelligent automation. In layman’s terms, this means you can dictate a text, receive less spam and get rerouted around an accident on the highway.

AI is changing the world as we know it and quickly becoming a significant business trend because of social media, IoT (the influx of data from more and more physical devices and sensors being connected to the internet), more computing power and more advanced algorithms.

Computer programs can now learn from data, adjust based on experience and augment intelligent decisions or predictions, resulting in:

• Faster anomaly detection and more timely alerts• Better informed decisions and increased revenue
