Description

Three years ago when someone mentioned the idea of artificial intelligence most people would assume they were going to start referencing Star Wars, Robocop, Terminator, Space Odyssey and the Jetsons. In 2017 A.I. has taken on an entire new trend as more businesses start to invest in the technology and more references are being made to A.I. with tools and technology we use everyday.

• What tools or technology do I use today that leverages artificial intelligence?
• What does all this mean for businesses today and how should brands start embracing for a future of digital transformation powered by A.I.?
