The AI Revolution: How Artificial Intelligence is Transforming Industries

Introduction

There is so much happening in the business world, these days with lots of speculation on where Artifical Intellegence (AI) is taking us.

It has become difficult to differentiate human thought and 'writing' from AI generated sources. 'Fake' news, data, images and even video.

It almost requires us to leave in the odd 'typo' mistakes to reassure the reader that it was ME and my THOUGHT being expressed in the text.

Do we need to re-write the 'Ethics' manual, which hasn't changed much since the origin of traditional plagiarism?

Mmmm ...it all depends on how you use IT ! (AI) 😊

What is Artificial Intelligence?

Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the capability of computational systems to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence. This includes abilities such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and understanding and generating language.

Conclusion

It is clear that AI is becoming another turning point in business and social development. It has been used for a few years now 'behind the scenes' in various desguises (deliberate typo) in Healthcare Diagnostics, Fraud Detection, Supply Chain Optimisation and Social Media (content recommendation).

But now it is used in everyday tasks and has become an essential part of our daily routine, whether it is in the workplace or at home.

It is said that "truth is stranger than fiction", and now those old sci-fi movies appear to be closer to fact.

Businesses are changing their strategies to embrace this new AI revolution, and have had to adapt their resources, whether human, technical or systems related. Much like they did when Covid-19 first appeared.

But unlike a virus, the exponential beneficial growth of AI will continue to influence business development but there will be casualties along the way. Automation is already replacing jobs; technologies will become obsolete; and businesses will fail unless they adapt, much like mammals did after the ice age.

Don't become extinct like the dinosaurs.
