“The real question is, when will we draft an artificial intelligence bill of rights? What will that consist of? And who will get to decide that?” —Gray Scott, American Philosopher

Keeping in mind the spectacular potential that Artificial Intelligence has, and given the way we interact with technology, we might have to consider this "bill of rights' anytime soon now! Over the years, AI has been instrumental in personalizing user experience and this is one of the prime reasons why brands are investing in Big Data as a key element of their customer offerings.

However, organizations have failed to utilize the enormous potential of Artificial Intelligence by not embracing the technology completely in the field of website development. In the fast growing digital age, web presence plays an important role for businesses to stay ahead of the curve. Artificial Intelligence with its amazing capabilities will give the companies the boost that they need to craft a seamless digital experience for their customers.

Drupal & Artificial Intelligence

In the recent years, modern mainstream website development has mainly focused on building a customer-facing front-end presence on the Internet and the integration of the front-end with enterprise back-office operations. And Drupal is a leading open-source platform for creating such enterprise websites.

As a reliable enterprise-grade CMS, Drupal is well known for its ability to organize and present content in the most effective way to create a seamless omnichannel digital experience. On integrating Artificial Intelligence algorithms to your Drupal-based website, you can turn it into an interactive ecosystem capable of handling your potential customers, interacting with them, studying their behavior and identifying patterns in them to aid targeted marketing and subsequent revenue growth.

However, the question is, what is the 3rd-party AI solutions and libraries that Drupal developers have in their toolkit? Which of these provide the most value? We have picked some of the top modules that can assist your team in creating a AI driven digital experience.

Integrating AI into your Drupal Website - Why is it good for your Company?

Let your website be HUMAN!

The current level of AI, by no means allows developers to teach your Drupal website to think or behave like humans. However, this smart technology is catching up soon and is getting better at automating content management and customer service tasks. This in turn allows you to free up your editorial and customer support teams.

Better user experience

One thing that stands out in an AI incorporated Drupal-based business website is its ultimate user experience. With effortless content management and publishing, round-the-clock approach to customer support, better targeting and connecting with the customer touchpoint, Artificial intelligence empowers your company to craft personalized experiences for your customers.

Better targeting

It is a known fact that 80% of the digital data generated by businesses around the world is unstructured, confusing and thus underutilized. However, with AI and Machine Learning anchoring the tools that help your company analyze these data, mapping the digital customer journey is a cakewalk. With better understanding of the customer behavior based on historical data, you can come up with relevant products or service recommendations targeted to each individual customer and his needs.

Higher ecommerce conversion rates

Implementing AI in ecommerce will potentially grow the global ecommerce market profitability by 59% in a span of 15 years. Features such as advanced lead generation, predictive analytics, targeted customer service, and upselling opportunities will help you to create a AI driven ecommerce ecosystem with better conversions and revenue.

The Future?

The future of websites looks interesting and is predicted to be automatically tailored to individual user behavior by analyzing their searches, reads, time spent on each page etc. Every user will be assigned a unique ID (uid) and their behavior like the clicks, searches and exits on the website will be linked to this particular uid. Just like how the analytics tools do. Using AI and Machine learning, each uid and the data connected will be analyzed to tailor the website according to each individual user. While such personalizations have already been implemented by certain big websites, integrating it with Drupal will take it up by a notch.
