Legacy
1) Mondelez International

MDLZ identified that its existing regional model had to give way to one driven by product
category – and that meant completely reimagining operations.

The company knew that it had to fast-track this transformation while keeping disorder to a
minimum.

To support this goal within the three-year time frame, Genpact began with a detailed
analysis that helped MDLZ identify what to centralize and decentralize. Process taxonomies
determined which processes to standardize, and Genpact assigned service-level agreements
(SLAs) and metrics to them

2) Unilever
Unilever is introducing an online talent marketplace for its staff that uses artificial
intelligence (AI) to help them identify new career opportunities and areas where they can
upskill in a bid to “democratize” learning.

communicate with employees about their benefits. Working with its internal Digital
 Innovation lab, Hershey rolled out “Bennie the Bot” for its latest open enrollment after

David Keys, Hershey’s director of global benefits, said last week during the WorldatWork
Total Rewards Conference in Orlando.

4) Ford

the first large-scale industrial applications of neural networks. Ford uses artificial intelligence
to automate quality assurance as well; AI can detect wrinkles in car seats. In addition, neural
networks help support Ford’s supply chain through inventory and resource management.

Ford also uses AI technology to understand the inventory data for used cars with an artificial
intelligence platform called CarStory. Now dealerships can learn details about the condition
of vehicles, owner history and see how pricing is in the marketplace.

5) BMW
BMW announced a partnership with Intel, which itself had recently acquired Mobileye, a
leader in computer vision technology. Computer vision is based on the idea of teaching
machines to “see” in the same way humans do, using cameras instead of biological eyes and
to interpret the information in a similar way to our brains. It is an advanced form of image
recognition – which can be seen in action in Google Image Search as well as many other
machine learning applications, where machines have been taught to sort and classify
images, becoming more adept as they are exposed to more and more data.

Challenges
1) AI relies on data and the quality of data available will eventually define the impact our AI
model makes
2) What differentiates human from a machine is the ability to take one learning to other field.
Ai being case specific needs help when scaling
3) Bias- AI makes decisions based on the available data only the decision can come out wrong
due to external factors
4) Lack of understanding of AI among non-technical employees
5) Lack of business alignment - AI implementation requires a strategic approach, setting
objectives, identifying KPIs, and tracking ROI.
6) Legal issues - the legal system does not update itself with speed of technology and this was
visible in the Facebook fiasco

I wish to enter the FMCG industry and according to me mapping consumer perception and
predicting their Behaviour will be next big thing.
