Top firms to double number of AI projects by 2020: Gartner

Organisations that are working with artificial intelligence (AI) or machine learning (ML) have, on average, four projects utilising these technologies in place, according to a recent survey by Gartner. The survey finds 59 per cent of respondents have deployed AI. These respondents expect to add six more projects in the next 12 months, and another 15 within the next three years. This means that in 2022, those organisations expect to have an average of 35 AI or ML projects in place, says Gartner, in its AI and ML Development Strategies study . The analyst firm says the study is based on the results of a survey it conducted in December 2018 with 106 Gartner Research Circle members. The latter is a Gartner-managed panel composed of IT and IT/business professionals.
