The document discusses automation and artificial intelligence. It provides statistics on application programming interfaces (APIs), integration engineer job postings, and salaries. It profiles nine major technology companies that are investing in AI like Microsoft, Uber, Google, Facebook, Apple, IBM, Skype, Salesforce, and Shell. It discusses intelligent databases that employ AI to return more relevant search results compared to traditional keyword searches. It also discusses how integration platform as a service (iPaaS) vendors are incorporating AI into their platforms.

AN INTELLIGENT DATABASE IS A FULL-
TEXT DATABASE THAT EMPLOYS
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI),
INTERACTING WITH USERS TO ENSURE
THAT RETURNED ITEMS (HITS) CONTAIN
THE MOST RELEVANT INFORMATION
POSSIBLE. THIS IS IN CONTRAST TO A
TRADITIONAL DATABASE, WHICH IS
SEARCHABLE ONLY BY KEYWORDS AND
VERBATIM PHRASES CONNECTED BY
BOOLEAN OPERATIONS SUCH AS AND,
OR, AND NOT.
