AI is not “artificial” intelligence, it’s human intelligence

The Independent  

Ingram Micro is a Business Reporter client Business Reporter: Ingram Micro Film 1 There is a certain amount of fear and anxiety about the emergence of AI and gen AI. Enterprises know they need to competitively embrace AI and its many benefits, including working to streamline operations, enhance productivity and drive revenue through intelligent automation and analysis at scale. Remember, AI can also help us to better understand customer behaviour so we can focus on the right audiences to roll out a new technology, solution or service and generate more targeted results. However, if we use AI to generate large language models to gain customer insights, and store that data in the cloud, and meet customer demand at speed, we are on the path to digital modernisation. To achieve value, start with the business problem or opportunity, then determine AI’s role in creating a solution to solve that business challenge now and look forward to more improvements.
