Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the most cutting edge and potentially transformational fields of technology today. Developments in the field, aimed at imitating and even exceeding human intelligence, promise to revolutionise numerous fields within enterprises of all kinds. Current implementations of Machine Learning (ML) are only scratching the surface of what can be achieved. Financial, healthcare, legal and security applications are bursting onto the market, while the use of natural language processing (NLP) is permeating into everyday life courtesy of bots and digital assistants. The promise of AI in terms of efficiency savings is enormous.
However, progress is uncertain. The long term evolution of AI since the 1950s has been stop-start. Thanks to unprecedented access to cheap compute power we are currently in the middle of a boom, as major technology vendors seek to exploit the recent advances in Deep Learning. But a new AI Winter may be just around the corner. Add to that challenges with regulation and potential backlash over AI bias, and the route to profitable use of AI is not guaranteed.
