Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI), driven by machine learning (ML), computer vision and the Internet of things (IoT), is very soon sprouting as a substantial general-purpose technology. This is no longer associated only to computer-based companies but also slowly moving to all major sectors, such as manufacturing, agriculture, healthcare, retail, banking and financial services, and public utilities. AI is also being considered by defense and security organisations. While an increasing number of industries have already embraced AI and started to reap its benefits, many others seem willing to explore the significant business opportunities and societal value offered by AI.
