AI may seem complicated and reserved for large corporations. In reality, any small or medium-sized enterprise (SME) can leverage AI effectively if it has structured data, the right algorithms, and a clear objective.
AI is rapidly evolving and becoming more accessible, but its roots go far back. In 1996, world chess champion Garry Kasparov played a six-game match against IBM’s Deep Blue supercomputer. Kasparov won the match 4–2. However, the rematch in 1997 stunned the world when Deep Blue defeated the world champion.
Nearly two decades later, in 2016, AlphaGo, developed by DeepMind, achieved a historic victory against Lee Sedol, one of the greatest players of the highly complex strategy game Go. These moments marked the beginning of a new era in which AI moved from isolated research projects into practical and accessible tools for any organization.
We are currently in the early adopter phase, and the true potential of AI is still greatly underestimated.
