AI has a "one percent problem" – how will this affect your business?

Machine learning, deep learning and artificial intelligence (AI) are attracting huge amounts of interest from analysts, press and IT teams. We are seeing large corporations apply data science and machine learning to make AI a reality for businesses and consumers. But is there a problem with too few companies holding too much of the market? What is the "one percent" problem around AI? Gartner predicts that 80 percent of data scientists will have deep learning skills in place by 2019, according to its research team in September 2017; meanwhile Teradata and Vanson Bourne research found that more than 42 percent of enterprises see opportunities for further implementation and process integration of AI in their operations. With so many enterprises looking at their approaches to AI and machine learning, the availability of people with the right skills and experience can become a stumbling block.
