Artificial Intelligence unlocks greater shareholder value - Accenture report

Stop being an "Observer" and become a "Collaborative Inventor" of the future. Companies with optimal Artificial Intelligence (AI) innovation strategies generate greater shareholder value, according to new research by Accenture. However, Accenture also found that despite these shareholder gains, only one fifth of leading companies that leverage Artificial Intelligence have achieved this performance in recent years. These companies, according to the report, have demonstrated high'AIQ' by combining strong in-house innovation and external collaboration. The research, however, only placed 17% of companies in the high performing bracket of collaboration and innovation, with a much larger 57% recognised as "Observers" and taking little action to collaborate and innovate in the AI space.
