AI Infusion
Artificial intelligence hit the mainstream in 2018, with almost every major cloud software vendor infusing intelligent capabilities into their product suites.
But it's the emerging AI development platforms, abstracting developers away from complex machine learning frameworks that call for skilled data scientists, that will take that trend down the food chain this year.
ISVs and custom enterprise software developers, empowered by the giant cloud providers, will add intelligence wherever they can—deploying across their portfolios chatbots, recommendation engines, predictive analytics tools, voice-enabled interfaces, and automated security and management operations.
On the hardware side, that means GPUs will multiply in almost every computing environment.
