Artificial intelligence (AI) relies on techniques like deep learning and natural language processing to enable machines to learn from experience and data in order to perform human-like tasks. AI is being used for applications like self-driving cars and detecting cancer on medical images with the same accuracy as doctors. While AI has advanced greatly in recent years due to deep learning, it is an older field with foundations dating back to the 1940s. A recent webinar discussed whether companies are ready to adopt AI.
