Artificial Intelligence: How Non-Tech Firms Can Benefit

Even though AI continues to thrive and grow, there remain challenges to use the technology. Just some include finding data scientists, determining the right problems to focus on, getting quality data and scaling the models. No doubt, these problems are even worse for non-tech companies. They generally do not have the expertise or sufficient resources to make AI a success. "Research shows non-tech companies in particular have struggled to take their AI programs beyond the proof of concept and pilot phases–with just 21% of retail, 17% of automotive, 6% of manufacturing, and 3% of energy companies successfully scaling their AI use cases," said Jerry Kurtz, who is the Executive Vice President of Insights and Data at Capgemini North America.
