The emphasis had shifted from stand-alone websites to more complicated integrations of processes and data, to enable greater scope for automation (Gartner calls this “the composable enterprise”).

Although less well-known than neural networks, reinforcement learning has been growing in popularity and forms the algorithmic core of some spectacular AI successes, such as Google AlphaGo. Diffblue, an AI spin-out from Oxford University, offers a product that 100% autonomously writes and maintains Java unit tests using reinforcement learning. It is used by large banks, pension funds and healthcare companies to write and maintain unit tests for its Transformers and Reinforcement Learning.
