Since the development of artificial intelligence, also known as AI, is progressing by leaps and bounds, we at LPM Academy have written a short essay about it. Starting with a journey through time, a short insight into the AI technology up to the current state of the art, we want to use best practice examples to encourage those who have not yet become familiar with this topic in their companies. Finally, a look at current developments will show how unstoppable and dynamic AI will become part of our everyday life.
