Artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere today—from chatbots to self-driving cars, from song and image generators and to recommendation systems. But as businesses rush to claim their systems are powered by AI, many of these so-called intelligent systems are actually better described as algorithmic intelligence or simply – automation.
