Twenty years ago, experts predicted that every company will become an internet company. To survive in the post-pandemic world, however, your company must now become an AI company.

“Today, I am predicting that every company will be an AI company. Not because they can, but because they must,” said newly appointed IBM CEO Arvind Krishna in his inaugural keynote at Think Digital.

Krishna has taken over the helm of the more-than-a-century-old tech giant in interesting times. Not only is the company making big bets on AI, hybrid cloud, and 5G, but also the world is battling the COVID-19 pandemic. He pointed out, however, that these three technologies will power digital transformation, which will be necessary for businesses to survive in the post-pandemic world.

“The crisis in many cases is going to accelerate what probably would have happened anyway. And I think AI is a great example of that. Companies are slowly getting comfortable with the idea of AI and it being their friend, and that it drives transformation. I like to say AI is not going to replace managers, but managers that can use AI will replace managers that cannot,” Rob Thomas, Senior Vice President, Cloud and Data Platform, of IBM, told Digital Life Asia at the press briefing for its Think Digital conference.
