Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming an integral part of the sales life cycle. Several brands have blended it with their marketing process.

To help marketers understand the AI better and rightly employ it, Econsultancy columnist Seak Donnelly has shared six common misconceptions of AI.

Donnelly says, “In anticipation of Econsultancy’s forthcoming update to our 2016 report – Marketing in the Age of Artificial Intelligence, I thought I would consider some of the popular misconceptions about AI.
