Accenture: AI scaling looms as existential challenge

The Accenture AI report suggests several ways customers can push on with AI scaling. The consultant's examination of top-performing organizations identified a strong data foundation, multi-disciplinary AI teams and C-suite commitment to an enterprise-wide AI rollout as the key success factors. Ninety-five percent of the survey's respondents cited the importance of data as the bedrock for AI scaling. The top performers, however, "are more intentional and focused on ensuring the right, relevant data assets are in place to underpin their AI efforts," according to the Accenture AI report. Tacking the AI challenge in an integrated way also contributes to scaling.
