Artificial Intelligence is development of computer systems able to perform tasks normally requiring human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and translation between languages. Therefore, AI can process a lot more data than human brain can, and thus can do more work accurately in less time. Along with data analysis AI can perform much more complex tasks such s determining customer preferences for products based on previous buying habits and understanding unstructured data. AI is augmenting the capabilities of human by solving such complex challenges. The importance of artificial intelligence can also be seen in healthcare industry for suggesting appropriate treatments for patients, fraud detection, financial services and retail. AI can be incorporated in business by using machine, deep and memory based learning which is AI’s core.
