AI from A to Z
A lab for thinking about artificial intelligence in the enterprise. Read the name forwards or backwards, it comes out the same.
By Prof. Dr. Alexander Zeier
One name, read four ways
IA ↔ AI
IA is how French, Spanish and Italian say AI. The name mirrors one into the other: the machine and the people who use it, looking at each other.
A and Z
Right in the middle of the name sit the letters A and Z, the initials of the author. From A to Z: the whole subject, and the person writing about it.
Z + Z = A
Put a Z next to its own reflection and the two form an A. That is the logo: two Zs, one A, and a mirror line down the middle.
Z for the insiders
Anyone who has worked with SAP knows the Z namespace, home of every company’s own programs. Make of that what you will.
