AI and New Business Models in Aerospace and Defense l Accenture

While 67 percent of aerospace and defense companies have adopted AI in at least one business unit--or are piloting the technology--only 19 percent scale many of their digital pilots and deliver superior returns on those investments.2 These challenges are made more critical by the trend towards transformation driven by new, as-a-service business models. Over 85 percent of aerospace and defense executives say they plan to invest in these innovative business models3. AI will play a critical role in helping to successfully design and deliver these new business models. For example, Airbus Aerial is using AI to provide customized analysis to customers across a range of industries including insurance, public utilities and infrastructure.
