Abstract
Artificial intelligence is the ecosphere’s prevalent and most comprehensive general acquaintance
common-sense cognitive engine. The artificial intelligence (AI) business platform model is
virtually at affluence with cloud SaaS model. It concerns AI solutions that can work together on
the top layer of the other digital systems, like a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) business system. AI admittances in the digital data fluid
through the coordination, fueling business enhancements over phases. In this business model, the
business will safekeep a recurrent subscription. This paper endeavors to emphasize on the
preventative side of the use of AI and machine learning (ML) technology to enterprise digital
platform business model innovation and business dynamics. We acme the strategic implications
and innovations with analytics. We explore the derivations of data-driven insights, models, and
visualizations.
Introduction
Artificial intelligence and machine learning models are computational and mathematical
algorithmic models which execute trained data and humanoid experiences input to produce a
decision an expert would make when provided that same information (Alhashmi, Salloum, &
Abdallah, 2019, Gentsch, 2018a, González-González & Jiménez-Zarco, 2014, Yorks, Rotatori,
Sung, & Justice, 2020). In other sense, artificial intelligence (AI) is the capability of a processor
to accomplish jobs that are analogous (at least in a limited sense) to that of human wisdom and
decision production (Alhashmi et al., 2019; Antón, McCracken, & Potts, 1994; Dimitras,
Slowinski, Susmaga, & Zopounidis, 1999; Eiteman, Stonehill, & Moffett, 1989; Yoffie, Kind, &
Shimol, 2016). In the 1950s, John McCarthy thinks up the term “artificial intelligence,” and
Marvin Minsky was a well-known scientist in the field (Antón et al., 1994; Burgess, 2018). A
model attempts to do from scratch a specific decision method that a group of specialists would
make if they could analyze all existing data (Burgess, 2017; Eiteman et al., 1989; Fountaine,
McCarthy, & Saleh, 2019).
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been changing businesses as proven by Airbnb, Ola, Uber, Flip
cart, e-Bay, Amazon, Mantra, etc. and other enterprises that have incorporated its use to
instrument state-of-the-art business models (Fountaine et al., 2019, Mishra &
Triptahi, 2019, 2020a, 2020b). This embryonic and quickly advancing technology impacts digital
platform business model innovation (Arnold & Scheutz, 2018), although many businesses are
being made exposed to new entrants armed with the technology. Unfolding AI technology as the
promoter of digital business model innovation, this study outhouses gracefully depending on
issues influencing digital business model innovation start up through evolving technology
(González-González & Jiménez-Zarco, 2014, Mishra & Triptahi, 2019, 2020a). The goal line of
artificial intelligence in business is to look out advance cutting-edge research in the fields of AI
and machine learning, as well as interrelated arenas like cryptography, cryptocurrency, and
innovation to develop a way out that is utmost impactful to the business’s customers and
industries (Corea, 2019; Mishra, 2018). In this way, continuous intelligence (CI) is a design
pattern in which on line real-time data analytics are cohesive into business processes, meeting
out contemporary and chronological data to advise movements in comeback to business ticks and
other significant measures (Charif & Awad, 2014). Applied intelligence (AI) is a smarter, faster,
and more effective approach to collecting, processing, and analyzing data, creating insights
which help identify clear opportunity to act on and automating those actions where possible to
unlock business significance (Corea, 2019, Mishra & Tripathi, 2020c, Yorks et al., 2020). It is
advantageous for businesses to gaze at AI from side to side on the lens of business proficiencies
rather than expertise with technology. AI can upkeep three significant business essentials
(Fountaine et al., 2019, Yorks et al., 2020): computerizing automated business process from back
office executive and business activities; acquisition of intuitions through data scrutiny,
breakdown, data analysis, and performance metrics; and engaging with consumers and
workforces (Burgess, 2017; Corea, 2019). Data and knowledge, learning from experiences,
reasoning and planning, safe human interaction through AI technology, multi-agent systems,
secure and private artificial intelligence communication, and machine vision and language
processing are some of the key hubs of artificial intelligence (Burgess, 2018, Fountaine et
al., 2019, Schulte & Liu, 2017). These things with their significant landscapes can be pictorially
represented as below (Fig. 1).

The rest of the paper is organized as follows. “Methods and experimental design” section
summarizes the methods and experimental design on AI business model ecosystem. In “Future
trends of platform business model optimization” section, we discuss about the future trends of
platform business model optimization. “Business model data challenges” section studies the
business model challenges. “Business model transformation” section explores the business
model transformation while “Security and privacy terrorizations” section discuss about the
security and privacy terrorizations. “Results and discussion” section deduces the case study and
discussion, and finally, “Conclusions” section concludes the paper.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is now competent enough to rebuild the business strategy and trade
across the globe. Industrialization and emergent growth of technology innovation,
synchronization of different communication channels through 4G LTE, 5G technology immense
the business culture. From the last few decades, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning
(ML) algorithms become ubiquitous in business arena and solve many cutting-edge business
applications and create knowledge-based portfolio for upcoming businesses (Ferrario, Loi, &
Viganò, 2019, Samsung White Paper, 2020). On the consequences, AI has helped many
businesses to improve the manufacturing cost, productivity, technological synchronization, and
automatic update and solve the global economy on the business earth (Armour & Sako, 2020,
Furman & Seamans, 2019). Nowadays, business management and its executive part are
undergoing basic changes and applying business process engineering all over the globe
(Burgess, 2018). One of the key challenges almost all executives face today is that of allocating
with and treatment digital transformation in their originations (Fountaine et al., 2019). This is a
force that is modeling business and the intact competitive business landscape. Executives are
fronting this challenge with capricious degrees of gusto. The business technological metrics help
to express specific and mutual attainment in emerging AI competencies for industries. Admitting
this evolving genuineness, risk group introduced a much-needed conversation on artificial
intelligence for business on risk roundup (Ciuriak, 2019; Ferrario et al., 2019).
Research Question - How artificial intelligence and its associate machine learning and
hologram technology renovating business ecosystem and how it revolutionizes business platform
and commerce ecosystem in coming generation?
In this paper, we are trying to explore the solutions of these questions which is the need of the
times.
Artificial intelligence is drifting out of R&D labs and into the business world. Millions of
industries across the globe and top-notch companies are fitting together the power of AI and
Applied artificial intelligence (AAI). Most of the business industries spot the scams using
machine learning algorithms in nanoseconds to improve customer satisfactions. A vivid rise in
the machine learning tools, business platforms, and applications-based tools were developed to
quench the business satisfactions (Alhashmi et al., 2019, Dimitras et al., 1999, Mishra &
Tripathi, 2020b).
These state-of-the-art technologies not only compressed the quality of the internet and the
software industry but also other verticals such as built-up, healthcare system, legal, automobile,
and agriculture as well (Casadesus-Masanell & Ricart, 2011).
Most of the top-notch companies like Microsoft, Facebook, Apple, Google, Amazon, Myntra,
Flipkart, and IBM are financing R&D of applied intelligence and artificial intelligence, for the
benefits of the company and customers. Some private traits and attributes are predictable using
AI and machine learning algorithms from digital records of human behavior as shown below
(Morley et al., 2019) (Fig. 3).

Private traits and attributes using AI and machine learning models from digital records of human
behavior (Kosinski, Stillwell, & Graepel, 2013)
The future of AI-enabled chips is booming in the business industry and AI and machine learning-
based model is playing countless and multidimensional segment for the evolution. The necessity
of artificial intelligence on focused processors is the motive for the augmentation in AI-enabled
chips. Even with the fastest central processing units, GPUs might not recover the speed of
working out an AI model. To speed up the execution of AI-enabled apps, the chip manufacturers
such as Intel, AMD, NVIDIA, and Qualcomm will be shipping dedicated AI chips. These chips
will be optimized for scenarios like NLP in computing, vision, and speech recognition. For
delivering intelligence, applications from the high-tech automobile and high-tech healthcare
industries will rely on these ultra-smart chips (Casadesus-Masanell & Ricart, 2011).
The eminence of autoencoder and automated machine learning
An evolutionary movement that is going to transform ML-based solutions is automated ML. The
foremost way of automation in machine learning (ML) will be the authorization of inventors and
developers for business analysts and data analytics to go forward. Machine learning models
could address the multifaceted state of affairs without going through the emblematic
development of training the machine learning models (Casadesus-Masanell & Ricart, 2011).
Smart automation by AI
A colossal quantity of log data which is produced by up-to-the-minute setup and applications is
netted for sorting, searching, indexing, and data analytics. These gigantic data sets can be
amassed and interconnected to find patterns and insights (Massa, Tucci, & Afuah, 2017).
The convergence of IoT with AI and AI with blockchain is a new paradigm of business model
(Casadesus-Masanell & Ricart, 2011). In fact, self-driving cars cannot be a practical possibility
without IoT working closely with AI. In the near future, we will be appreciating the driverless
car with the use of AI and IoT. This model certainly will be the succeeding step of the rebellion
in business, decision theory, and optimization theory, along with the software industry. The
software used in decision-making is powered by AI models, and the sensors used by cars to
collect real-time data are enabled by the IoT sensors (Mishra & Tripathi, 2020a). The deep
learning business model and AI-based algorithms take decisive action and also make fruitful
decisions using these data. The ecosystem phase is elaborated as below (León et al., 2016)
(Fig. 4).
Fig. 4
Ecosystem phase (León et al., 2016)
AI jobs with knowledge of deep learning are growing at a quicker hop. Deep learning is a type of
machine learning which develops algorithms known as artificial neural networks that work by
modeling the structure and functions of the human brain and cognition (León et al., 2016, Mishra
& Triptahi, 2019).
Enhancing efficiency and efficacy
Using AI technology with deep learning model, we will be able to do a huge number of tasks, but
getting more throughput. The universal AI example is more visible in the form of voice
recognition, Google Assistance, Alexa, and Siri; there is gigantic rendezvous (Mishra &
Tripathi, 2020).
Almost, half of Europeans, Chinese, Americans, and most of the Indians accept using some form
of voice recognition, and there are conclusive signs of these platforms making it to workplaces.
Brooks Brothers, WeWork, Mitsui USA, Capital One, and Vonage are already using Alexa in
their business model to boost the efficiency of the business and work culture (Rong, Lin, Shi, &
Yu, 2013).
There are certain blind acnes in the progressions or goods of some system of government.
Innovation happens when someone lean-tos light on those vizor acnes. Machine learning and AI
have enabled organizations to overcome these shade spots (Hedman & Kalling, 2003).
In medicine, it could mean analyzing a patient’s danger or empowering a new analytical
invention into the market. In manufacturing, it means predicting defects before happening.
Instantaneous analytics
AI for business is meting out and inferring the massive amount of data in real-time. This method
allows businesses to make critical decisions and act at a quicker rate, ensuring a robust
competitive position of the company (Hedman & Kalling, 2003). The AI and ML business model
will play a great role for real-time data analytics. For example, in the transportation industry,
drivers could get data on traffic jams based on their location and on time fine-tune their paths
(Mishra & Tripathi, 2020c, Wirtz, 2011).
AI-based chatbots are proficient of providing quicker comeback times and better communication
eminence that will help businesses increase existing customers’ trustworthiness and fascinate
new ones (Johnson, Christensen, & Kagermann, 2008).
Business process robotics and automated assembly
AI is capable of managing the automation of both service transfer and production processes
(Hedman & Kalling, 2003). For example, control and maintenance of necessary environmental
conditions for packing and loading of product, managing robotic and assembly lines in factories,
process payments, monitor warehouse balances, register service customer requests, and more
(Wirtz, 2011).
Areas where data privacy is of significant importance, like the financial sector, banking services,
AI, can successfully be used in the detection of fraud and unauthorized access (Mishra &
Tripathi, 2020a; Rong et al., 2013).
In the AI-driven computerization, evolution means additional intelligence from linked data and
associated devices, connected social platforms, media platforms, industry platforms and big data
platforms, and advances in business model transformation through synchronization of
technology (Abramowitz, 1988; Agarwal et al., 2020; Åström, 2020; Gentsch, 2019; Schulte &
Liu, 2017). Statistical data performance metrics, real-time data analytics, information, and
knowledge have been mounting at a confounding pace across worldwide (Dimitras et al., 1996;
Huang & Hu, 2003; Lee, 2018). It is indispensable to comprehend (i) how this innovative data-
driven intelligence veracity takes along per capita business across the globe an exclusively new
business ecosphere completes of openings and possibilities, and (ii) what are the anticipated
significances and magnitudes for each current marketplace and evolving would be? The digital
transformations boost the economy of the world at an asymptotic level (Fountaine et al., 2019;
Frank, Roehrig, & Pring, 2017; Lee, 2018). The pictorial representation of digital transformation
can be shown as below (Fig. 6).
Fig. 6
It will be intriguing to the spectator how the artificial intelligence changes worldwide business
force and clout subtleties (Chang, Hsu, & Lin, 2018; Gentsch, 2018a; Jarke &
Radermacher, 1988; Yoffie et al., 2016). Framework of business model is described as below
(Gursoy et al., 2019) (Fig. 8):

Cycle of AI
While AI and hologram have the latent to renovate businesses, state-of-the-art business models,
and trade across the globe (Benkler, 2019; Corea, 2019a). Trepidations ensuing in xenophobic
data practices and confrontation to partaking data, information, and knowledge may prevent its
prospective. As a result, the leeway of generating and embracing huge comprehensive gigantic
data ponds and live out at indigenous, countrywide, and worldwide levels go on imprecise.
Hologram technology seizures truly immersive XR, high-fidelity mobile hologram, and digital
replica. The pictorial outlooks are shown below as discussed in the Samsung white paper
(Samsung White Paper, 2020). For a detail configuration and discussion, readings on Hologram
technology researcher can refer to the white paper released by Samsung (Samsung White
Paper, 2020) (Fig. 12).

Hologram technology (Samsung White Paper, 2020)
Artificial intelligence is accepting the phenomenal changes of the business framework and
transforming the business culture how to work in the digital era (Davenport, 2018, El-Najdawi &
Stylianou, 1993, Hamscher, 1994, Metelskaia, Ignatyeva, Denef, & Samsonowa, 2018).
Basically, it is not just changing the culture of business but also fundamentally renovating the
conventional thinking and significance of alliance and collaboration, vigorous competition, and
digital and enriched innovation (El-Najdawi & Stylianou, 1993; Hagras, 2018; Niu, Li, Tang,
Zhou, & Shi, 2011; Schulte & Liu, 2017). While most AI inventiveness craft economical
improvement by recognizing an exclusively innovative opening and breaks, pleasing to the eye
contemporary energies, delivering a market fragment that others business tycoons have
overlooked, or crafting fresh markets, linked devices that nourish a continual creek of digital data
about functionality, treatment, fabrication, requests, automated and robotic help center and more
to a significant setting will make even more captivating economical revolutions (Gentsch, 2018,
Hagras, 2018, Liu et al., 2020, Maedche et al., 2019, Scheer, 2012). This framework and
technology-focused business conveys us to a key and significant point: As the Internet of Thing
(IoT) amalgamation permit us for the improvement of business atmospheres where customers
and trades can act and work together (Chan, 2015, Chanson, Bogner, Bilgeri, Fleisch, &
Wortmann, 2019, Schulte & Liu, 2017, Valanarasu, 2019). How will it transform innovative
business models using AI, hologram, and Internet of Things further, as it will be imaginable to
enterprise strategy understandings over products and things? The technology road map of IoT is
described and defined as below (Chan, 2015; Chanson et al., 2019; Schulte & Liu, 2017;
Valanarasu, 2019). This road map also depicts the growth of innovative business platform along
with the respective algorithms, tools, and technology development. The security is the big issue
for the state-of-the-art business model and platform (Păunescu, Pascu, & Pop, 2016). The IoT
technology roadmap is described as below (Fig. 13).

The security and privacy issues are discussed in the next section as below.
Conclusions
This study first delivers an ephemeral impression of AI, contemporary issues being attempted in
evolving AI, and describes how it transmutes digital platform business models. Our reading of
companies that revolutionized their business models using artificial intelligence shows its
prospective sway. We also deliberate how managers can craft an innovative AI-based ethos,
which rearticulates the progression of AI-based business model modernization. Businesses that
effectively take advantage of AI can make an unsettling revolution from side to side their new
digital business models and practices, empowering them to possibly transmute the worldwide
economical business landscape. It seems emerging a culture of novelty often runs antagonistic to
by conventional design and self-conscious interpretation. Significant fulcra entail a positive
degree of freedom to take possibilities and revelation to a lens that is unaccustomed. Uppermost
executives and leaders, perform a significant and strategic starring role in instituting the culture
of a business so they must exemplary revolution and a readiness to frequently learn and innovate
with state-of-the-art-technology. They could open by culture with cutting edge technology-AI
and by what method it can enrich the enterprise’s AI business model and coordination, as well as
boosting and gratifying workforces who attain AI proficiency and take-off flyer ventures in the
business.
