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.
