In the article, he highlights, “AI tools are already available that can take a description of a business environment, its laws of evolution, and the set of actions that the manager can take and find a sequence of actions that minimises cost or maximises rewards. However, most of these tools are of recent vintage, still have a lot of theoretical shortcomings, and have not been tested extensively under real-life conditions.”
