TAI in business is, in some ways, a natural evolution of the 30-40 years of developments of enterprise technologies - from ERPs and business process re-engineering to internet technologies, big data, analytics, and now AI - and significant technological breakthroughs. What old lessons hold for this new technology regarding innovation and business value creation? What key new characteristics of this technology that investors, entrepreneurs, and executives need to consider? What are some trends to pay attention to in this space? What new organizational capabilities, regulations, and national policies to focus on? Finally, are there any unknown risks due to AI that we must manage, mainly as this technology develops at different speeds across regions? These are some questions we will discuss.
