Industry verticals are keenly exploring and experimenting with different things. Business processes are being automated and optimized through the smart leverage of all kinds of noteworthy advancements happening in the AI space. Increasingly AI takes the center stage in business operations across the globe. There is a dazzling array of integrated platforms, frameworks, toolsets, libraries, and case studies and hence the adoption of AI algorithms and models is picking dramatically in the recent past. However, there are a few critical challenges to be surmounted before the widespread usage of AI models in mission-critical domains such as healthcare, security, retailing, supply chain, and infrastructure management.
