2018 predictions for artificial Intelligence – Part 1

A remarkably complex technology, Artificial intelligence is advancing quickly. Surpassing the predictions that were made a decade ago, it’s reaching new heights in various domains. Although it is impossible to give a precise vision of how the future of AI will unfold, let’s take a look at some of the specific predictions about AI trends for 2018 and key implications.

AI will impact employers before it impacts employment

We often hear about how automation will exhaust the need for manpower, what we don’t realize is that how  AI is encouraging a gradual evolution in the job market that, which with the right preparation, will be positive. There will be new jobs created were AI would help people work more efficiently. Employers around the world say AI will help humans and machines work together to be stronger using both artificial and human intelligence. Popular acceptance of AI will occur quickly and the organizational retooling will commence.

AI will come down to earth—and get to work

We have all heard about AI powering fleets of autonomous cars, robot doctors, smart infrastructure etc. All this may eventually see popular acceptance, but not in 2018. This year, AI will empower current employees to add more value to existing enterprises. This will happen by identifying trends in historical data to create business value, automating processes too complex for older technologies, and providing forward-looking intelligence to strengthen human decisions. AI will increasingly play a role when the leaders look for the best solution to a business need.
