Artificial Intelligence Technologies Are Quietly Penetrating a Wide Range of Enterprise Applications, According to Tractica
Revenue from Artificial Intelligence Deployments to Total $43.5 Billion Worldwide During the Next Decade
BOULDER, Colo.--The advance of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies has caught the attention of companies and institutions in a wide range of enterprise markets, and executives in almost every industry are considering the potential impact AI will have on their operations, business models, and bottom lines. AI technologies being evaluated and deployed are diverse, yet interrelated, and include areas like cognitive computing, machine learning, deep learning, predictive application programming interfaces (APIs), natural language processing, image recognition, and speech recognition.
A recent report from Tractica forecasts that, as enterprise AI deployments gather increasing momentum, cumulative revenue for the sector will total $43.5 billion worldwide during the period from 2015 through 2024. The market intelligence firm forecasts that the largest application markets for AI will be advertising and media, financial services, manufacturing, oil and gas, and retail. All of these industries work with complex systems and large data sets where companies are finding strong return on investment (ROI) by deploying AI technologies.
"In almost every industry, including some very traditional ones, new approaches to age-old problems are being trialed using artificial intelligence," says principal analyst Bruce Daley. "The business questions being addressed range from where to plant crops to how to detect fraud. The most highly affected industries are likely to be those with large amounts of data, where there are high rewards for making decisions quickly."
Daley adds that such deployments are not always high-profile or visible on the surface - oftentimes, AI capabilities are embedded deeply in enterprise software systems and operational processes. In addition, Daleys analysis indicates that many traditional businesses are likely to be disrupted by practical applications of AI. "One needs to look no further than the automotive industry to see how AI technology like Googles self-driving cars has forced every serious player in the industry worldwide to consider strategies for including AI in their products."
Tracticas report, "Artificial Intelligence for Enterprise Applications," examines the practical application of AI within commercial enterprises. The report presents 10-year forecasts for AI software, along with AI-driven services and hardware sales, for the period from 2015 through 2024. An Executive Summary of the report is available for free download on the firms website.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field â€" perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
