Deploying AI in the Enterprise

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been a vision of humans for a long time. Works of fiction have explored the topic of AI from many angles. For instance, Neuromancer, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Terminator, A.I., Star Trek, Alien, Mother, and so forth feature AI in many different manifestations: some human-like and some very different, some serving, some working with, and some even fighting against humans.
