It has a great impact on business strategy as well as operations, interacting customers along with workforce. Embedded deep learning becomes the focus of software product (Evans et al., 2017). In Google, it starts to inquire regarding the machine learning as capabilities of service. In a addition, there are several vendors already consists of machine learning in the products in order to improve as well as automate specific functionalities and develop marketing campaigns.
Apart from these, it is important to focus on the open data sources for getting advantages of machine learning developers. AI is effective as data that it involves it learning from, when developing embedded application. Google do not have any issue on evaluating mammoth data sets, as the businesses are very large so that it creates and endless supply of data. On the other hand, small business does not have luxury and take benefits for the data sets. In addition, businesses will to hoard own data confidentially. Google using artificial intelligence has data sharing process and primarily deals with data security.
How creation of an innovation strategy ensures strategic alignment within the organization and its importance
The software vendors as well as business of Google will open up the data to make the partnership opportunities in the data swaps. It will specifically assist the embedded with the process and valuable data to improve the process. Adoption of artificial intelligence in Google will be driven through digital platform providers and the same way that the organizations will create the process. On the other hand, robotics process automation will develop emergence in workplace of the organization. The technology is currently an infancy stage. However, intelligent robots are created that can access software for automation and implement artificial intelligence for the business operations as well as process of automation.
Innovation strategy responding to the trend
Google bases the breakdown of innovation on typology of innovation. It has been formulated through the experts in measurement field as well as assessment of innovation activities across the world. The primary innovation activities of business are defined as well as identified through the organization (McKinseyGlobalInstitute, 2018). The department of innovation in Google has the responsibility for implementing innovative ideas that has specific time. On the other hand, the innovative ideas are analyzed as per the required process (Schaltegger et al., 2016).
