An extremely important question in these days of extreme 'AI Hype' is - What is the added business value of deploying AI (this is temporarily setting aside the huge assortment of technical and implementation-related issues, which need their own blog post(s)...). The added business value of AI is more subtle than, for example, the impact of automation (which can be AI-enabled) that might happen via productivity enhancements, or via increases in revenue, or both in some combination.
AI has an impact on improved decision-making processes, more accurate demand forecasts, or, at a manufacturing level, the prediction of mechanical failure in machinery - are often indirect, so one needs more subtle and innovative measures of the return on investment (#ROI) in #AI! https://t.co/t0jNT7RIoe— Satyen Baindur (@Satyen_Baindur) January 30, 2019
