Artificial Intelligence will begin to move from the hype phase to reality. Today, AI in business is like teenage sex: “Everyone talks about it, nobody really knows how to do it, everyone thinks everyone else is doing it, so everyone claims they are doing it.” Even though AI systems can now learn a game and beat champions within hours, they have been hard to apply to business applications, most of the claims we have read about in press releases have been PR stunts. This will begin to change in 2019, with real applications of AI and real solutions. Some of the core deficiencies of machine learning will also be overcome and businesses will learn how to clean up and integrate their data. Some will understand what AI really does and create a vision for its use, they will begin to see the big benefits.
