“You don’t implement artificial intelligence. You educate artificial intelligence”
António Brancal Ribeiro, of Accenture Portugal, explains where artificial intelligence is heading, one of the five major technology trends that are having an impact on the economy.
Five technology trends are identified in the new Accenture Technology Vision report, which the consultancy has been producing for some years. The aim is to draw attention to the disruptive potential that some technologies may have in the coming years, or are already having, today, in some markets and sectors.
One of those trends is artificial intelligence (which the report calls Citizen AI), something that has increasingly caught the interest of António Brancal Ribeiro, senior manager at Accenture Portugal. In an interview with ECO, the specialist says artificial intelligence developed a great deal last year and has already taken shape in some aspects of our lives. It is in our smartphones and, little by little, it is starting to come into our homes. But there are risks too.
