Microsoft introduced Fabric this week. Possibly and probably the game-changing solution that can transform data analytics and integration. We dived into what Microsoft has unveiled with Microsoft Fabric and how this can impact Data Engineers, Analysts and Scientists. But we also have some open questions that we will answer once we are finished testing this exciting technology.
This blogpost will look into the evolution that AI has made in order to become what it is today. Next to that we will look forward, how AI can likely impact our future. Lastly, we will try to formulate a plan of attack that companies need to consider to be best prepared for the drastic changes that AI will have on our way of working.
As AI has a growing impact on our society, new initiatives and organizations focusing on AI safety and ethical AI continue to spring up.
We should use AI to make our organization smarter! Chances are you’ve recently heard this statement and see organizations acting to it. Leading companies are using AI across departments to increase productivity. Customer care organizations are using chatbots and speech recognition in their customer contacts. Marketing departments are predicting churn and segmenting their customer base.
Venturing into the field of AI may seem daunting at first. While AI has been hyped immensely in the last decade, it is a deeply technical field. Gartner even made a prediction that 80% of AI will remain alchemy run by wizards whose talents won’t scale in the organization. Your organization probably doesn’t have the scale and technological know-how of Google, Apple or Facebook. This might lead you to conclude that developing AI models isn’t for you. You are right, partially.
