The global AI agenda: Promise, reality, and a future of data sharing

AI deployment is widespread but will take time to scale. AI is being deployed widely across sectors, but its reach within enterprises is likely to expand slowly. Most survey respondents (60%) expect AI to be used in anywhere from 11% to 30% of their business processes in three years' time, exercising an important, though not dominant, influence in their operations. Financial services providers, manufacturers, and technology companies have the highest expectations of AI penetration. Change management and data challenges do most to hinder scaling of AI.
