How do you expect AI to impact businesses?

"The terms 'AI' and 'disruptor' are becoming hard to define, you need to drill deeply into the specifics of what is meant. We see these terms bandied about liberally in transaction collateral, but I think both precision and care are required to define what is meant. With regards to the nature of the AI or the means with which a business disrupts, we need to understand 'how does it add value and to whom?' and 'what problem does it solve?'. Without precision, there is a danger that these words lose their value."
