As the amount of enterprise data rapidly grows, government agencies are seeking to collect, analyze, and package insights to guide critical decisions about the mission. For many organizations, artificial intelligence (AI) promises the best tools to address today's unchecked data growth and equip senior leaders to act. In a new O'Reilly report, Booz Allen's Justin Neroda, Steve Escaravage, and Aaron Peters outline how to use artificial intelligence operations (AIOps) to extend and integrate powerful AI capabilities throughout the enterprise.

Applying ERM principles to AI initiatives can help organizations improve governance of AI, manage risks, and drive performance to maximize achievement of strategic goals. The project, commissioned by COSO and co-authored by Deloitte & Touche LLP, focuses on the need for organizations to design and implement governance, risk management, and oversight strategies and structures to realize the potential of humans collaborating with AI. The COSO ERM framework, coupled with Deloitte's Trustworthy AITM Framework, can provide an overarching and comprehensive approach that aligns risk management with strategy, reduce performance variability, and improve the likelihood of success for AI initiatives.

When it comes to digital transformation, the Covid crisis has provided important lessons for business leaders. Among the most compelling lessons is the potential data analytics and artificial intelligence brings to the table. "Launching a direct-to-consumer business was always on our roadmap, but we certainly hadn't planned on launching it in 30 days in the middle of a pandemic," says Michael Lindsey, chief growth officer at Frito-Lay. "The pandemic inspired our teams to move faster that we would have dreamed possible." The crisis accelerated the adoption of analytics and AI, and this momentum will continue into the 2020s, surveys show. Fifty-two percent of companies accelerated their AI adoption plans because of the Covid crisis, a study by PwC finds.

Artificial intelligence is the process of re-creating human knowledge in robots that are designed to think and act like humans. AI has evolved from a once-obscure technology into a standard toolbox for software development and design. Without a question, artificial intelligence (AI) is the way of the future when it comes to automation. Robotization, DevOps phases, the Internet Chabot, and mechanical technology are all examples of upcoming IT advancements using artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence jobs are a fast-paced, high-risk industry that is rapidly infiltrating our daily lives.

Despite a tough year for many, US companies are accelerating plans to implement artificial intelligence (AI). Another 54% are heading there fast. And they've moved way beyond just laying the foundation. Many are reaping rewards from AI right now, in part because it proved to be a highly effective response to the challenges brought about by the COVID-19 crisis. In fact, most of the companies that have fully embraced AI already report seeing major benefits.

We all know about the paradigm-changing use of AI for Netflix recommendations, chatbots that impersonate customer service agents online, and the dynamic pricing of hotel rooms. Such efforts are the value creation engines of countless large, successful companies. But organisations can also adopt a decidedly less splashy and, at face value, more pedestrian use of AI--to process documents faster and simplify operational procedures. Although this use is aimed at reducing costs rather than transforming industries, 'boring AI' is actually quite exciting--because it confronts issues that all companies wrestle with, and because the gains in productivity are real. Recent research by PwC on automating analytics found that even the most rudimentary AI-based extraction techniques can save businesses 30–40% of the hours typically spent on such processes.
