Artificial Intelligence Comes To Business

Artificial intelligence is "here to stay," CSC's Hushon says, "Everybody (from the boardroom down the line) is going to be looking for the guidance that this information can provide them to help them be substantially more productive."

In 2016, "we saw a lot of consumer-oriented AI services, such as Amazon Alexa or new features to Apple's Siri," Jonathan Levine, chief technology officer at solution provider Intermedia, wrote ITBestOfBreed in an email. "These services will spread into business applications, and that's going to drive another wave of cloud acceptance, as on-prem will no longer be an option for certain applications."
