Artificial Intelligence (AI): 7 trends to watch for in 2022

Of the many technologies with the potential to deliver significant value in the near future, Artificial Intelligence (AI) seems firmly planted atop the list for CIOs. Indeed, nearly all (95 percent) of the CIOs, CTOs, and technology leaders surveyed by IEEE agreed that AI will drive the majority of innovation across almost every industry sector in the next one to five years. "The focus will shift more toward AI-enabled transformation that solves more significant business problems with business-focused solutions," says Jerry Kurtz, executive VP, Insights & Data, at Capgemini Americas. "AI is an enabler and powerful capability, but the time for proofs of concept and science projects is quickly coming to an end. In 2022, expect AI engagements to become larger, more strategically significant, and more mission-critical – with a focus on long-term scalability."
