AI will transform entire industries: Google VP
BNN Bloomberg
An executive at Google believes businesses’ use of artificial intelligence is only scratching the surface, even as the technology starts to seep through everyday life.
Sam Sebastian, vice-president and Canada country manager at Google Cloud, compared today’s use of AI to the early days of the internet and how it changed how businesses operate.
“This is a significant technological shift that will change the future of how industries will work, how businesses work,” he told BNN Bloomberg in a television interview Thursday. “We’re just getting started. It’s extremely exciting.”
Some research suggests adoption of the technology has been slow. A recent Toronto Metropolitan University study said just four per cent of Canadian companies are using AI.
