How artificial intelligence is transforming industries

Loading player...
Artificial Intelligence (AI) increasingly has the ability to replicate the human brain. The world is heading towards a future where mundane and repetitive tasks are done by computer based AI. This phenomenon has sparked thought leaders into a movement of awareness which is concerned with the known applications and unknown applications of AI. Some argue that AI is here to replace humans and others argue that it is here to make humans more effective. Others have suggested that in order to keep up with AI, the human brain should be merged with AI.

Industries such as logistics, banking, retail and cyber-security are being transformed by various applications of AI. Where human application is no longer efficient enough to keep up with operating activity in these industries, AI has become the best alternative for speed of execution and accuracy. Top firms across the world are investing large amounts of capital in AI procurement and this presents a business opportunity for Tech Start-Ups to develop tailored AI programs for these businesses.
