The Valuation of Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

Artificial intelligence allows to think and act humanely and rationally through hardware systems and software programs capable of providing performances that, to an ordinary observer, would seem to be the exclusive domain of natural (human) intelligence. The applications are more and more extensive, thanks also to the big data available today and the ability of self-learning (machine learning) or instead to the synergies with the natural intelligence, which for vision and flexibility remains irreplaceable. The examination of the business models of the companies that base their strategies on artificial intelligence or, more extensively, of the traditional companies using specific applications is preliminary to a framework of the legal problems (still pioneering) and of the profiles of economic evaluation.
