Although the technology leaders are a divided house when it comes to the application of AI, there is no denial on the massive impact it can have on human life. While some call it as eventful as the invention of electricity, few others consider it as useful as a 17-year-old who is ready to take on a journey of knowledge acquisition continuum--which is the very essence of AI--and help a great deal in building a better world. With the availability of affordable and yet high power computing, infinite storage, and cutting edge analytics, and most importantly easy access to huge amounts of data to learn from--there is no looking back for AI. The move toward digitalization is further opening up new grounds and making way for novel ideas and opportunities to redefine the business world. A recent report suggests that AI could help improve the GDP of countries to a vast extent, provided that people are educated about leveraging this technology. It is believed that countries with more sensible AI policies will advance more rapidly, and "those with poorly thought out policies will risk being left behind." Amid the debate of AI `eating up' jobs, AI proponents opine that, "on the contrary, it will free up people from spending time on mundane tasks and focus on core business areas." As the world stares at the tipping point in AI, the early rays of AI are already having a profound impact in the every field of science and art, among many others. From complex surgeries to advanced militarized drones, AI sits at the core. Visionary technologists are coming up with innovative applications of AI to help organizations streamline their processes and take their efforts to fruition. In this edition of CIO Applications, we bring to you companies that are at the leading edge of innovation in the AI space.Managing EditorJoe PhillipSenior WritersClara MathewEzra BenjaminRoyce D'SouzaEditorial StaffBen JacksonDaniel HolmesJune Morgan Leslie Francis*Some of the Insights are based on the interviews with respective CIOs and CXOs to our editorial staffVolume 03 - 30Published by ValleyMedia, Inc.
