Making AI accessible leads to greater innovation

It's difficult to visualise the true scale of AI, as it's almost certainly more than you imagine – it's going to contribute more to the global economy than the current GDP of India and China combined. PwC research suggests that AI could contribute as much as $15.7 trillion by 2030, and by singularly responsible for a 26 per cent boost in the GDP of local economies. That would place it as one of the most fundamentally transformational changes in human history and, PwC notes, there is the opportunity for emerging economies to leapfrog developed ones by being faster on the AI uptake. However, for all the promise of AI, there remain challenges. Gartner research suggest that only 54 per cent of AI projects make it from pilot to production. The challenge, Garter says, has to do with scale.
