Enterprise AI Goes Mainstream, but Maturity Must Wait - InformationWeek

Artificial intelligence's emergence into the mainstream of enterprise computing raises significant issues -- strategic, cultural, and operational -- for businesses everywhere. What's clear is that enterprises have crossed a tipping point in their adoption of AI. A recent O'Reilly survey shows that AI is well on the road to ubiquity in businesses throughout the world. The key finding from the study was that there are now more AI-using enterprises -- in other words, those that have AI in production, revenue-generating apps -- than organizations that are simply evaluating AI. Taken together, organizations that have AI in production or in evaluation constitute 85% of companies surveyed. This represents a significant uptick in AI adoption from the prior year's O'Reilly survey, which found that just 27% of organizations were in the in-production adoption phase while twice as many -- 54% -- were still evaluating AI.
