| | DECEMBER 20206CIOReviewBefore the global pandemic struck in 2020 and the world was turned on its head, artificial intelligence (AI), and specifically the branch of AI known as machine learning (ML), were already causing widespread disruption in almost every industry. The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted many aspects of how we do business, but it hasn't diminished the impact AI is having on our lives. In fact, it's become apparent that self-teaching algorithms and smart machines will play a big part in the ongoing fight against this outbreak as well as others we may face in the future.AI undoubtedly remains a key trend when it comes to picking the technologies that will change how we live, work, and play in the near future. So, here's an overview of what we can expect during what will be a year of rebuilding our lives as well as rethinking business strategies and priorities.The proliferation of AI is happening at a great pace both at the chip level and the software level, and make no mistake; the two things are deeply intertwined. Chipmakers like NVIDIA, Intel, and Qualcomm are rapidly developing AI into their systems. This translates to greater democratization of AI that enterprise and software developers can apply to data and applications--which has been notable with cloud providers like AWS, Azure, Google, Oracle, and IBM all embedding and expanding their AI offerings for public and hybrid cloud deployments. Ultimately, this translates to more accessibility to the compute power, frameworks, and algorithms required to apply AI to everything from your smart speaker to your mobile device to your enterprise sales and planning software.If one thing is clear, AI is seeing notable momentum across use cases and is becoming an increasingly "normal" part of human life, even in a year that is anything but normal. From where I'm standing, at least from a technology standpoint, 2021 looks to be another year of strong adoption and expanding use cases for artificial intelligence.Let us know your thoughts!EditorialAI Proliferation is now a RealityCopyright © 2020 ValleyMedia, Inc.
