Artificial Intelligence with Enterprise IT?
Artificial Intelligence represented a myth in the early days of computer developments, a belief that one day computers will be able to think for themselves. Since, AI development took a different approach and search for more tangible applications such as knowledge-based systems or enterprise decision management. Nowadays AI in Enterprise IT is represented by Business Intelligence and the emerging Business Intelligence 2.0.
The concept behind BI 2.0 is that it is a more proactive form of analyzing data and understanding facts useful to businesses. It is strongly based on the development of Semantic Web, linking data and finding relationships, and plays an important role in the development of Service-Oriented Architectures, therefore being predicted to have a great impact on the future of Enterprise IT. Artificial Intelligence in its conceptual way may still be far from achievement, but Business Intelligence is already tangible.
