How AI Is Already Changing Business

Erik Brynjolfsson, MIT Sloan School professor, explains how rapid
advances in machine learning are presenting new opportunities for
businesses. He breaks down how the technology works and what it can
and can’t do (yet). He also discusses the potential impact of AI on
the economy, how workforces will interact with it in the future,
and suggests managers start experimenting now. Brynjolfsson is the
co-author, with Andrew McAfee, of the HBR Big Idea article, “The
Business of Artificial Intelligence.” They’re also the co-authors
of the new book, “Machine, Platform, Crowd: Harnessing Our Digital
Future.
