It is no secret Artificial Intelligence (AI) is already making its mark on everyday life and as a result, business.

While AI presents great promise for businesses and industry development – everything from predicting customer behavior to managing large scale production systems.

This great movement also has the ability to leave a lot of employers and employees feeling out of touch in the rise of these technological changes.

As much as it would be great to have a one-hit-wonder answer to solve all your AI queries, that would not only be counter-intuitive but leave you with a narrow view on the topic.

Unfortunately for you, this requires serious research.

But fear not, we have that list.

Below is a holistic collaboration of AI theories and perspectives currently available. They not only de-bunk everything you need to know about AI but also give you the tools needed to form an educated perspective and prepare for the incoming industry changes coming for everyone.
