factors, and so on (input layer). The organization aims to segment the market to two segments (output layer). The hidden layer contains the algorithms that result in an outcome. The same can be demonstrated as in Figure 1.2 [39].

      1.4.2 Cognizance of Consumers Purchase Behavior/Intention

      1.4.3 Pricing

      AI can help increase the sales of an organization by precisely the dynamic pricing. AI recommends the prices for the product and service by analyzing the demand/supply data. An app or website bot which keeps track of the history of sites and cookies can be used for the predictive analysis, thereby enabling the customer to enjoy real-time pricing. For example, during the lean season, the hotel room’s occupancy reduces, and AI can recommend dynamic pricing/real-time competitive pricing. AI helps to provide dynamic pricing by analyzing the historical transactions, competitor’s pricing, customer’s preview/reaction on social platforms, etc. There are several AI platforms, for example, Wise Athena recommends pricing and advertising decisions. Navetti Price Point uses ML to recommend pricing. Perfect Price empowered by AI provides dynamic pricing for auto rentals [5].

      1.4.4 Content/Product/Service Recommendations/Search Optimization

      According to lexico.com, content marketing is “a type of marketing that involves the creation and sharing of online material (such as videos, blogs, and social media posts) that does not explicitly promote a brand but is intended to stimulate interest in its products or services.” In recent times, the marketers are using AI tools to write content/recommendations to the target audience based on their likes and dislikes. Some of the AI tools are Wordsmith, WordAi, Rocco, etc.; these tools help the marketers by creating the content which is known as Content Curation and Content Automation. The rationale of these tools is to provide organized and customized content to the target audience for better customer engagement. The recommender systems developed with AI can enrich the shopping experience of customers. For example, personalized recommendations suggested by Netflix and Spotify.

      1.4.5 Sales Prediction Based on Consumer’s Demographics

      Based on the analysis of data, AI can predict and prioritize sales leads. AI can estimate the probability of a purchase by a customer. AI and ML analyze the data from the emails and phone calls that are with the company. This analysis can predict the present and future sales trends. Pointillist’s Behavioral Marketing Platform discovers and analyzes the path and patterns of behavior of the consumer to predict sales. Dominos uses AI tool called Dom Pizza Tracker. According to its website, in-store cameras “use advanced machine learning, artificial intelligence, and sensor technology to identify pizza type, even topping distribution and correct toppings”.

      1.4.6 Virtual Assistants/Real-Time Conversations

      AIs, known as chatbots like Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri, are voice recognition technology that can understand and recognize speech or spoken words and execute the command from the internet through an AI drive assistant. For example, Indian Railways use chatbots as ask Deesha, etc. These chatbots simulate the natural language simulation and usually are prepared to answer the FAQs. This can reduce human intervention and reduce response time. Google is incorporating and innovating the use of AI and ML. Google’s division Waymo is working on AI for self-driving technology for automobiles. While Google Duplex has introduced the voice interface with the help of AI to automate phone calls. Amazon has introduced the AI-based voice assistant, Alexa. Also, Amazon is using AI to beforehand predict the products required by the customers. Microsoft is using AI in developing intelligent capabilities in its products and services, such as Cortana, Skype, and Bing [24].

      1.4.8 CRM

      AI is changing the scenario toward the customer relationship with the organizations. AI helps decode and provide insights into the customer behavior, patterns of purchase by analyzing the emails, telephonic conversations, chatbots, etc. Cogito provides the analysis of telephonic conversations and provides the customer’s emotional state. AI is also capable of detecting anomalies and duplicacy in CRM data. Amplero, a platform based on ML, works for the customer relationship management (CRM) domain. Salesforce Einstein is the AI platform for CRM, which provides solutions for the prediction of customer behavior and purchase patterns. It is used for data mining, deep learning, and NLP.

      The study attempted to unravel how AI disruption is revolutionizing HR and marketing. Our contribution is an exploration of various studies on the role of AI in the various functions of HR and marketing. The study revealed that AI in the field of HR has facilitated quality hiring [17, 30], personalized training [17, 31], ensured transparency in compensation management [17], and performance management [14, 17]. AI is also helping in removing biasness in recruitment and performance appraisal and is assisting the organizations in employee retention. Furthermore, both the candidates and the employees feel engaged. Besides, AI has widely reduced the cost of the organizations with respect to hiring, orientation, onboarding, training, etc.
