Question 14

What is the aim of AI in BI?

Answer 14

make machines perform tasks intelligently, possibly like people do

major reason for using AI is to cause work and decision making to be easier to perform. AI can be more capable (enable new applications and business models), more intuitive, and less threatening than other decision support applications

major reason to use AI is to reduce cost and/or increase productivity

can be used to improve all decision-making
