Cloud based artificial intelligence

Deloitte Global predicts that in 2019, companies will accelerate their usage of cloud-based1 artificial intelligence2 (AI) software and services. Among companies that adopt AI technology, 70 percent will obtain AI capabilities through cloud-based enterprise software, and 65 percent will create AI applications using cloud-based development services.3 Further, Deloitte Global predicts that by 2020, penetration rates of enterprise software with integrated AI and cloud-based AI platforms will reach an estimated 87 percent and 83 percent, respectively, among companies that use AI software. Cloud will drive more full-scale AI implementations, better return on investment (ROI) from AI, and higher AI spending. Importantly, we'll see the democratization of AI capabilities--and benefits--that had heretofore been the preserve only of early adopters.
