Advancement in AI (Artificial<br />

Intelligence)- a Business Perspective<br />

Back in 1800’s when industrial revolution<br />

happened, many speculated of losing their<br />

jobs due to automation, that is, the<br />

assembly line. Yes, many lost their jobs,<br />

but eventually many more jobs came up.<br />

And it certainly gave businesses a chance<br />

to flourish under this new bandwagon and<br />

so did our society. Fast forward to 1900’s,<br />

when the computer revolution happened,<br />

people again feared of losing their jobs<br />

because of the ease of computational work<br />

a computer could do. What happened then<br />

was we saw a whole new world of<br />

opportunities where everyone contributed<br />

as per his/her capabilities and thus we see<br />

a connected world today. Again<br />

businesses, using this shift, helped to<br />

better our society.<br />

Advancement in AI (Artificial Intelligence),<br />

in the present world, has got the similar<br />

properties what the industrial revolution<br />

and computer revolution had back then.<br />

People have already made a notion that<br />

their jobs are under threat due to AI. While<br />

it may take some jobs away, it also opens<br />

up the possibility for completely new jobs<br />

that have not existed prior. Certainly AI<br />

has benefited businesses around the<br />

world; cutting their costs, driving innovation<br />

in the services and so, in every field they<br />

introduce AI.<br />
