With AI-fueled solutions, companies can answer three key questions: How is the company performing? Why is it acting the way it is? And what should be done to make it perform better? Knowing the "why" allows them to understand what is driving performance and decide quickly and effectively on how to improve it. 

#3: Fight fraud and prevent cybercrimes with AI

The number of fraudulent transactions, massive data breaches, and instances of identity theft continue to rise as hackers and fraudsters are getting more careful in their attempts. In the latest report, security company McAfee estimates that cybercrime currently costs the global economy some 600 billion U.S. dollars. So what can you do about it? Companies started to rely on superior, faster-learning AI-powered solutions to detect and prevent fraudulent patterns or data breaches. AI-fueled solutions make it possible to accurately process, verify, and authenticate fraud at scale. Fraud solutions need to be more sophisticated to keep in pace with the fraudsters and react within the short time fraud attacks happen. 

#4: Shortening up the hiring window

AI-equipped solutions for recruiting are built to reduce or even remove labor-intensive and time-consuming activities. As an example, manually screening CVs still remains a challenging task. According to the recent statistics, 52% of talent acquisition leaders state the most complicated recruitment activity is identifying the right candidates from a large applicant pool, 56% mention that their hiring volume will increase this year while 66%of recruiting teams say it stays the same size.

Integrating AI-equipped solutions into many-stage recruitment processes will help companies get and make sure they’re delivering the right talents.

Astonishing, isn’t it? 

#5: Expand your business with self-driving technologies

Advances in driverless cars are dependent on artificial intelligence technology. According to a recent report, the self-driving industry will reach 42 billion U.S. dollars by 2025. Businesses that depend heavily on transporting products can use self-driving trucks to lessen costs and enhance reliability. Manufacturing and other sectors can use autonomous cars to improve their operational efficiency. In agriculture, tractors can be programmed to plow straight rows, set up to navigate an entire field or autonomously lay seeds in straight lines.
