Abstract
Artificial Intelligence is the “Next Big Thing .” Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the most profound innovation by humans, with a far deeper and wider impact on our lives, than all preceding innovat ions from steam engine of 1712 to the Internet. AI has the potential to tra nsform the very role of humans in our society. Its disruptive power is evid enced in a growing number of cases even today – Apple’s Siri, Amazon Echo, Google Assistant, IBM Watson and Tesla cars. What is AI? What can it do (an d not do)? How does it work? Where can it be applied? This presentation is designed to demystify AI and help your company to harness its unique power to smarten and uplift your business. Using successful business cases the pr esentation highlights how and where AI is being used. It provides a roadmap for companies starting AI projects with approaches for discovering innovat ion opportunities that add business and customer value with AI. Finally, it offers a structured approach with “AI&U Canvas” for developing a succe ssful business model with innovative AI ideas. The use of AI for future com petitiveness is a must. As a result, it is extremely important for everyone , especially for business decision makers, to understand the power, signifi cance, and relevance that AI will have not only on our lives but also on bu siness and society as a whole.
