Age of Intelligence Democratizing AI to empower individuals, organizations, and society toward fulfilling the promise of holistic growth

This is an unprecedented moment in human history. Technologies are emerging and affecting our lives in the Fourth Industrial Revolution in new and unanticipated ways. This is a new era that builds and extends the impact of digitization. Artificial intelligence is not new to us. It’s only in recent years that AI has made such impressive progress, primarily driven by exponential increase in computing power, vast amounts of data and notable breakthroughs in algorithms.

In this paper, we present an industry point of view on the ‘age of intelligence’ that we are embarking upon, wherein we will experience intelligence in every facet of our lives: in the products and services we use, how we communicate and relate to each other, how organizations function and collaborate, and how society and countries evolve.

We believe that the promise of AI is holistic growth. AI will radically transform industries, enable governments, empower individuals and address some of society’s toughest challenges. Breakthrough innovations will accelerate the digital transformation of organizations, result in radically new business models, and potentially disrupt industries. AI offers the opportunity to increase the functionality of every application, accelerate application development at scale, create compelling interfaces that interact with users in natural ways. Across industry verticals, AI will enable every business process to enhance customer engagement, optimize operations, and improve products and services. AI will empower every person with knowledge and tools to foster innovation and collaboration across the enterprise.
