Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an area of computer science where machines simulate human intelligence and automate human tasks. Such activities include speech recognition, learning, reasoning, problem-solving, and visual identification.

Machine learning is a component of AI whereby the computer or system learns from the data provided and can make its own improvements. The current push for AI is driven by the exponential growth of computing power (Moore’s Law), increased funding and the amount of big data generated in recent years.

AI is not only impacting the way we do business but also the way we live. To remain competitive in today’s market, organisations need to improve productivity levels and create new opportunities, whilst reducing costs. Applying advancements in AI is helping organisations achieve these improvements.
