We know artificial intelligence will remake -- is already in the process of remaking -- both business and the broader world beyond. What we don't know yet is what unintended consequences AI will wreak as it becomes more advanced and commonplace. One hindrance to envisioning that future is that AI is not "a technology," in the same sense that ERP, for example, is a technology. While there are different flavors of ERP, with differing sets of capabilities, we generally understand that it's software designed to integrate an organization's operational and financial processes into a unified system. Artificial intelligence, though, is "a diverse set of methods and tools continuously evolving in tandem with advances in data science, chip design, cloud services, and end-user adoption," as Ernst & Young (EY) put it in a recent paper.
