AI Democratization a Work in Progress, H2O's Ambati Says

While only about 1% of companies are making the most of their data today, real progress is being made in democratizing the use of AI, and the future of business automation via AI is quite bright, H2O.ai's CEO and founder Sri Ambati said before a pair of H2O World conferences this week. "There's still a long way to go from where we are. It's in the earliest phases of adoption," Ambati told Datanami in an interview earlier this month. "You can see that only 1%, or less than 1%, of the world's companies can truly leverage their data. So that means 99% needs further adoption, simplification, and cultural transformation to use data and AI. It's going to take the next 10 to 20 years."
