The past few decades have seen major advances in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). As a result, AI has become a transformative business force, specifically in the technology sector. Numerous organizations are significantly expanding their use of AI tools and services, with 2018 a landmark year for this trend. Supporting technologies, such as computational powers, digital storage, and adaptive algorithms have sufficiently matured to enable AI to enter into a new period of adoption and integration as part of the digital transformation of businesses.
