Accurate, yes. Fast, most definitely. But is AI smart? It depends how you define intelligence, explains Edwin Harrell of digital business process management software business, MICology.

The same can be said for AI, which has had many cycles of boom and bust. Huge promises are made, and we are told AI is going to impact every part of our lives.
