December 20196 From an email response prompter to self-driving cars, artificial intelligence (AI) has made substantial progress. In the business ecosystem, AI adoption has reached an all-time high with businesses leveraging the technology to detect fraud, forecast customer behavior, personalize marketing endeavors, and more. Concurrently AI has applications in human resource as well, owing to its capacity to streamline hiring and onboarding processes along with cross-referencing candidate data. When leveraged in conjunction with machine learning, AI enables visual detection, motion control, and other leading-edge applications in the manufacturing and robotics space. Similarly, AI can be used alongside blockchain's distributed ledger to develop smart computing power that adapts to the needs of the user to save enterprise resources. The combination of AI and blockchain can also facilitate next-gen data protection, as blockchain distributes the data and AI predicts potential threats.Looking ahead, the business world is predicted to experience an even wider adoption of AI as technology stacks within enterprises get better at improving organizational efficiencies and creating new insights. Furthermore, as business outcomes become more probabilistic, AI will help businesses analyze every interaction with a customer or partner firm and make a well-informed decision based on their historical data.
