The ongoing development of business and the most recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI)
allow for the many business practices to be improved by the capacity to establish new forms of
collaboration, which is a significant competitive advantage. This rapidly developing technology
enables to offer brand services and even some new forms of business interactions with consumers
and personnel. The digitalization of AI concurrently emphasized for businesses that they need
concentrate on their present strategies while also routinely and early pursuing new chances in the
market. Not only in business but also in different industry sectors, Al techniques are being used and
revolutionized different industry sectors. This review focuses on the application of AI techniques in
business and different industries.
