Abstract

While Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been an industry buzzword the past 15+ years, AI as a subject is not something new. The term AI has been coined by John McCarthy in 1956 and Neural Networks has been a popular subject well in the 1980s. It's just that AI has undergone a long journey of invention and entrepreneurial phase; and seem to still not fully over it. The question now why the industry is not crossing the chasm to the mass production phase? Why most companies are not relying on AI product to reduce their churn and increase their efficiency? In this paper, I will survey the major factors that play critical role in the slow AI adoption across the software industry.
