EditorialLeveraging Cognitive Solution to Averse CrisesLast year, the COVID-19 pandemic waged an unprecedented war against our `normal' way of doing business. Needless to say, we were forced to bow to the pandemic, while most of the global IT population had to sit back and work from home. This situation, compounded with the move towards the contactless world of tomorrow, is also pushing technology to evolve at a rapid pace, enabling faster change and progress.The shift to contactless business operations is seeing the rise of different cognitive technologies like machine learning and machine vision that can take the burden off of a human employee's shoulder. These technologies are primarily helping in automating a lot of manual and tedious tasks. And as AI improves significantly over time, cognitive technologies are becoming more reliable and an indispensable aspect across every sector.Besides, AI will be used further to analyse interactions to determine underlying connections and insights, to help predict demand for services like hospitals. It will enable authorities to make better decisions about resource utilisation and to detect the changing patterns of customer behaviour by analysing data in the near real-time. As such, these businesses will be able to enhance personalised experiences and drive better revenues.In this edition of CIOApplications Europe, we bring you the story of some of the most prominent organisations specialising in cutting-edge cognitive services and are significant drivers of critical trends and strategies.
