Business transformation with AI and ML – Times of India

Artificial intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) technologies have been nothing less than a boon for businesses. AI and ML empower companies to make impactful and data-driven decisions with better chances of success. AI drives everything around us, including algorithms for identifying spam emails to self-driven cars.
With AI/ML, data is the new game-changer for companies and is becoming a key differentiator. According to a survey, data-driven businesses are 19 times more likely to be successful, making analytics and data (powered by AI) an essential part of business transformation.
Together, AI and ML are powering intelligent digital processes and enabling machines to support people in their work. In one of their reports, PwC predicted that by 2030, AI can have a $15 trillion influence on the world economy. Very few technologies have the potential to have this kind of impact. Collectively, machine learning and artificial intelligence are transforming society and corporate practices.
Impact AI is Already Making
In addition to large enterprises, mid and small-sized companies have started using AI/ML and are already seeing results. From finance to agriculture, food to healthcare, and environmental education, AI has applications across all sectors. Credit eligibility, financial advice, trading decisions, and fraud detection are all through AI nowadays. Intelligent chatbots powered by AI and deep learning ensure a great customer experience and drive digital transformation for businesses. AI also has a significant role to play in cyber protection.
Automation
By taking over repetitive and mundane tasks, AI frees up humans for work they are better fit for and can apply creativity, empathy, and other qualities core to the human brain. By automating most mundane tasks, AI can increase business efficiencies dramatically.
Smart Decisions
AI analyzes information in real-time, and AI algorithms with high performance and deep learning techniques. AI algorithms can make decisions for us by integrating information, analyzing data, and providing us with insights to make informed choices.
Never Repeat a Mistake
AI enables machines to mimic human behavior by learning from past mistakes and adapting to new inputs. Deep neural networks are used in AI to obtain incredibly accurate results. AI facilitates making the most of data, and because AI employs sophisticated learning algorithms, it is a versatile and adaptive technology.
Scalability
AI/ML create systems that are resilient enough to function appropriately on their own and independent of human aid and interventions. By deploying several data science theories and methods like classification, categorization, clustered, trend analysis, anomaly detection, visualization, etc., AI/ML enables organizations to make difficult decisions accurately and at scale.
Competitive Edge
A digital transformation that concentrates on what is required to create a competitive edge with customers now and in the future can be planned and implemented using AI and ML. Instead of using piecemeal strategies of sporadic upgrading of systems and processes, AI/ML assists businesses in developing complete plans for data transformation based on real-time market intelligence.
Enhancing Interactions
Big data is analyzed and correlated using AI/ML to find patterns that can provide information about customer behavior and other occurrences. It offers information on ways to enhance client interactions and corporate operations. AI/ML can assist in identifying shifts in behavior and events as they happen so that solutions can be developed to prevent a loss in sales, as opposed to learning about a change in customer behavior after sales have already decreased.
Challenges of Getting AI Initiatives Right for Your Organization
While AI and ML have many benefits for organizations, as discussed above, these initiatives can fail for many reasons. Due to a lack of clear business objectives, data strategy and post launch operations planning, and feedback, AI projects can fail to deliver their promises. Here are some challenges that get in the way of AI/Ml initiatives succeeding.

Every AI project requires an investment that needs justification with the potential benefits for the business. Hence, it is critical to estimate the potential of AI/ML initiatives to see if the benefits surpass the costs.
Operationalizing AI and moving the production solution is no cakewalk. You need proper infrastructure, organizational support, and an equipped team to take AI/ML initiatives live when ready.
Reproducibility and automation are important aspects of making the most of your AI initiatives. Manual solutions are cumbersome to maintain, and you should think about DevOps automation from the beginning.
Monitoring, reporting, and evaluation should be a part of your AI/ML initiative. Without monitoring and reporting, the success of your solution cannot be estimated.

Conclusion
AI/ML imitates human intelligence to recognize and respond to actions and occurrences and also provides insights on events and behavior to enhance business operations and customer experiences. Businesses and organizations may remain ahead of the curve by using AI and ML in planning and executing digital transformation. Real-time data analysis using AI and ML helps companies become more responsive to events and changes in customer behavior while improving IT operations.
With the help of AI and ML, data transformation has developed into a process that is always changing, offering insights and solutions to the constantly shifting dynamics of customers and the market.
