| Editor’s Note |  | Make Artificial Intelligence Part of the Business Team
It’s rare to have a conversation about cutting-edge business technology without hearing how artificial intelligence is being used to improve the customer experience. Or how machine learning is making networks more secure by finding patterns of malicious behavior. Or that AI is empowering sales teams with new capabilities for spotting opportunities—and closing deals.
Yet not everyone is on board. As Chuck Hollis explains, some people feel threatened by AI. Others can’t accept that software is now making decisions at least as well as—and sometimes better than—human beings.
AI is still new. Over time, we’ll find out what AI software is good at and where it might make mistakes. AI will get better and smarter. Like the best employees, AI software may soon become indispensable as a valued element of the organizational team.
