The rise of artificial intelligence (AI)

The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly reshaping the business landscape, creating a wave of exciting opportunities for entrepreneurs and established companies alike.

Key areas where AI is unlocking doors include hyper-personalisation. For this, AI analyses vast amounts of customer data to predict individual needs and preferences, enabling businesses

to deliver personalised experiences through targeted marketing, product recommendations and dynamic pricing. Imagine a clothing store suggesting outfits based on your past purchases and current trends or a travel company crafting personalised itineraries based on your interests.

Automation and efficiency is another key area. It is where AI automates repetitive tasks, freeing up human resources for strategic work. Chatbots answer customer queries, robots handle manufacturing processes, and AI-powered scheduling tools optimise logistics and delivery. This leads to increased productivity, reduced costs, and improved operational efficiency.

Think about data-driven decisions with AI analysing vast datasets, unearthing hidden patterns and trends that humans might miss. This empowers businesses to make informed decisions about everything from product development and marketing campaigns to risk management and financial investments.

Imagine predicting customer churn before it happens.

In innovation and creativity, AI tools are assisting in design, content creation and scientific research, pushing the boundaries of human imagination. It can generate unique design concepts, write engaging marketing copy and even discover new materials and drug compounds. This opens doors to entirely new products, services and solutions.

Implementing AI successfully requires careful planning, ethical considerations and human oversight. However, those who embrace AI's potential will be wellpositioned to thrive in the ever-evolving business landscape.

Gerry Lawrence, of Freeman Clarke, believes we are only at the beginning of AI’s true capabilities. Keynote speaker at Brighton & Hove Business Show on June 13, he will talk about ‘AI: Apocalypse or Opportunity’.
