The strong growth of artificial intelligence (AI) and smart algorithms mean that technology — in robotics for example — is increasingly able to learn independently of any human intervention. It can therefore also operate more autonomously. Self-learning AI, however, raises plenty of questions and certainly demands some effective preconditions. It
Advanced analytics is an important part of artificial intelligence (AI). Machine learning, or the ability of computers to learn from data, rather than through programming rules, means that more complex problems can be addressed than would otherwise be possible.

Lately, the media has again been focusing on the debate about how we can do more for society's vulnerable groups, including children. This is an important debate and an area that we at SAS already have much experience with: when you apply analytics to the right data, something important happens.
When I talk about marketing with my customers and at events, I discuss how analytics, including using artificial intelligence ( AI ) and machine learning, can drive improved customer experience.
