Rising AI adoption is also enabling sustainability, new IBM research finds

We are excited to bring Transform 2022 back in-person July 19 and virtually July 20 - 28. Join AI and data leaders for insightful talks and exciting networking opportunities. While AI isn't everywhere yet, adoption is growing at a rapid pace, according to new research released today at IBM's annual Think conference. The 2022 Global AI Adoption Index analyzed responses from over 7500 IT leaders around the world. Key highlights of the report include that 35% of organizations are using AI today and an additional 42% are "exploring AI." AI use is helping to improve sustainability efforts as well as narrow important skills gaps, according to the report. "One finding that stood out to me is that more than half of organizations polled say they've accelerated their AI rollout over the last two years," Seth Dobrin, chief AI officer at IBM, told VentureBeat.
