Week 6 - MBA 6101 - Surfing The Tsunami

Machine learning is one of the most common ways AI is used in business. It allows companies to let programs learn business flow and allows them to take over the processes. In addition to this, it requires less resources towards hiring someone that can handle that process and allows one to focus on bigger picture tasks. Kelsey provides the example of DataRobot, a machine learning program that can take on many tasks. However, competition is increasing as Amazon and Google develop their own programs that have been created with stronger resources. 

To learn more about AI, it does not need to be a typical textbook style research. Instead, AI exists well within various platforms that allow one to learn about it in a much more enjoyable manner. YouTube is a great platform where one can search for various videos that teach about AI and its influence on society and businesses. It can even teach you how to use an AI program within your own business and implement in repetitive tasks. With most of the world using smart devices, AI has been modified to fit into your pocket and allows one to use programs such as Coursera, Udemy, etc. that allow one to become a student of AI and learn the ins and outs. (Kelsey, pg. 132, 2018) In today’s world, it may be best to embrace AI and use it for one’s benefit rather than following a traditional approach that may not bear the same fruits it once did.
