The Evolution of AI - Learning from the Past to Shape the Future

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is not a new trend. Making money with AI will take time, as the current bubble mostly benefits hedge fund companies. AI, like Cloud Computing, is often used as a marketing gimmick. Most computer users are accustomed to free versions of AI and other tools. Unless enterprises decide to invest in AI solutions, companies like Google and Microsoft will have to invest heavily without immediate returns. AI is the future, but monetizing it will require tech companies to think creatively and integrate AI into existing products as enhanced versions. We are now living in a pay-as-you-go model, like Office 365. Companies that do not incorporate AI into their products will be at a significant disadvantage.
