Limitations of AI

  • First Online:
Deploying AI in the Enterprise

Abstract

The promise of AI with its breathtaking range of applications seems to be without limits. To elaborate on limitations of AI may therefore be perceived by some of our readers as a spin in opposite directions. AI is so much associated with accelerating innovation, insight, and decision making that we see its opportunities as immeasurable. And yet, even for AI, there are limits and challenges, as we learn about in this chapter.
