Gartner Predicts the Future of AI Technologies

If you've noticed an uptick in product recommendations based on your Amazon purchases, or GPS services that are increasingly accurate in displaying congested traffic areas, it's because artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere. AI adoption in organizations has tripled in the past year, and AI is a top priority for CIOs. Yet early AI initiatives have a high probability of failure due to misalignment with business requirements and lack of agility. "Although the potential for success is enormous, delivering business impact from AI initiatives takes much longer than anticipated," says Chirag Dekate, senior director analyst at Gartner. "IT leaders should plan early and use agile techniques to increase relevance and success rates."
