While it is evolving at a rapid pace, AI has matured significantly to the point where there are a wide array of off-the-shelf solutions to go along with the range of tools and technologies to develop custom solutions. Capacity to build cloud-based data lakes to house real-time data streams, as well as a wide array of open-source programming languages, libraries and algorithms have made AI technically accessible to Enterprises as well as SMB organizations.

Whether you are evaluating the application of AI, implementing AI tools, or looking at vendor solutions, the people you choose will determine the success of your AI implementation.
