"In particular, the revolution linked to the introduction of artificial intelligence is at the beginning of a growth path that promises to be explosive," added Mario Rizzante. "Just as fifteen years ago, the advent of mobile apps generated a market that keeps doubling every three years, today we are starting to automate everything, adding intelligence to every object and every service. In a few years, we will have artificial intelligence for everything, just as we now have a mobile app for every need." "In this context, Reply has already started to invest and work on the most cutting-edge frontier, the one relating to the confluence of artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things and the cloud, which can be expressed by the paradigm of the Authonomy of Things: objects and services designed to interact with all intelligent entities, using data and artificial intelligence autonomously." concluded Mario Rizzante.
