This edition of The Aragon Research Technology Arc™ for Artificial Intelligence (AI) profiles 27 AI technologies and concepts, and is designed to help you to identify important technologies, choose which technologies to monitor, and determine the potential benefits of each.

This AI technology arc includes a specific and targeted set of AI technologies and concepts that we believe business and technology leaders should understand and track. We created this list by looking at the broad spectrum of technologies, terms and concepts, and narrowing this down to the most important and relevant to business and IT leaders.

Since AI is becoming so prevalent, leaders should also look to Aragon Research’s additional technology arcs to understand additional AI technologies and concepts by detailed horizontal categories.

Introduction

The last 12 months, AI-enabled systems have shifted from isolated software technology category provided by a few vendors for a limited set of complex applications to topic on the forefront of news, debates, product releases and new research. It is now nearly impossible to find a leading software offering that does not, in some way, depend upon or leverage AI to achieve its results more effectively or efficiently.
