Why a Growing Number of Companies are Embracing Artificial Intelligence & Internet of Things TechnologiesPALM BEACH, Florida, September 25, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Financialnewsmedia.com News Commentary As businesses and consumers alike continue to embrace artificial intelligence (AI), the opportunity for growth has been prominent for tech leaders dabbling in the various forms of AI technologies. One of these platforms that continue to reap the benefits of AI is that of the Internet of Things (IoT), which has essentially become reliant on AI in order to advance and become a very powerful technology. In a nutshell, the two technologies are a perfect pair to influence each other's growth. According to data by Bank of America, the AI market is projected to grow north of $150 billion by 2020 with increased adoption rates. Much of this growth can be attributed to the advancement of IoT platforms. In addition to generating bolstered levels of revenue, AI and IoT also combine to provide cost savings for companies using the platforms, leading to another appealing factor in this space..
