AI will change absolutely everything, but IT more than most. That transformation, though, isn’t something that leaders can take for granted; they have to be proactive and make it happen. Intel, for its part, is making representation happen with a commitment to investing in women-owned businesses, and Microsoft is helping with the transition from legacy hardware. It’s all worth it, too. With that transformation comes more data, more insights, and more value.
5 Ways AI Will Change How CIOs Make Their Livings
Artificial intelligence is going to accelerate, transform, and generally smart-ify every aspect of business and industry. However, some areas are going to feel the effects of AI a bit more than others, and IT is poised to be affected the most.

As charmingly old-timey as this might seem, it wouldn’t take long for you to miss airplanes. Plenty of businesses still use the IT-equivalent of Zeppelins, though, and need to move into the future (or, at the very least, the present).
How to Unlock New Business Value With Real-Time Insights
Mining, generally, is not a quest to find rocks. Rocks are really easy to find. Mining is all about finding the good stuff in the rocks, and to do that miners need tools like pickaxes and gigantic drill-shaped boring machines. Data, likewise, is sort of like rocks, and analytics are kind of like the boring machines that can yield gems of insight, veins of actionable information, and mother-lodes of value.
