McKinsey argues how the current wave of AI is 'poised to finally break through'

These and other findings are from the McKinsey Global Institute Study, and discussion paper, Artificial Intelligence, The Next Digital Frontier (80 pp., PDF, free, no opt-in) published last month. McKinsey Global Institute published an article summarizing the findings titled How Artificial Intelligence Can Deliver Real Value To Companies. McKinsey interviewed more than 3,000 senior executives on the use of AI technologies, their companies' prospects for further deployment, and AI's impact on markets, governments, and individuals. McKinsey Analytics was also utilized in the development of this study and discussion paper. The current rate of AI investment is 3X the external investment growth since 2013.
