I think that we can all agree that artificial intelligence (AI) is a powerful IT tool that can allow companies to use the importance of information technology to get their IT systems to do more. 

CIOs have been studying  the technology and attempting to understand how it can be applied to their firms. The implementation of AI at firms has been progressing fairly slowly at smaller firms simply because the complexity of implementing it is still out of their reach.  

Due to the importance of what AI can do for a company, CIOs need to  find ways that AI can be used to help the firm move forward.
