Artificial intelligence is being widely adopted across many industries. The technology is being integrated into areas such as healthcare, banking, financial services, insurance, law, retail and advertising. The use of AI’s learning capabilities provides a more efficient way to gather data. Gartner predicted that by 2020, 85% of customer interactions will be managed without a human and be handled by cloud-based solutions with an AI. “Machine capabilities are growing,” says Dr Stephen Cave, Executive Director of the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence (CFI), according to a research by the University of Cambridge. “Machines will perform the tasks that we don’t want to: the mundane jobs, the dangerous jobs. And they’ll do the tasks we aren’t capable of – those involving too much data for a human to process, or where the machine is simply faster, better, cheaper.”
