A 2022 overview of artificial intelligence and machine learning for business architects — covering the history of AI, the emerging ecosystem of tools and platforms, and the practical implications for business strategy, process design, and customer engagement. Presented at the Inspired Business Architecture Forum, this talk maps the landscape at a pivotal moment when AI shifted from niche technology to mainstream business reality.
New Technology Creates Architecture Opportunity
Exponential advances in computing, communications, big data, semantic technology, robotics, and 3D printing are not just technical curiosities — they fundamentally alter what business architectures can and should do. This 2013 presentation by Graham McLeod surveys the landscape of emerging technologies and draws out the architectural implications for enterprise and application design. A timely reminder that architects who ignore technology trends risk designing for a world that no longer exists.
