Drone powered future is here

The business opportunities from the use of drones and AI are there now, and make positive "bot-tom-line" contributions, but many companies are not ready to take advantage of them, either be-cause they don't have the processes in place or do not have the talent. The PwC 2019 Global Risk, Internal Audit and Compliance Survey showed that 80 per cent of respondents "do not plan to use drones in the next two years" or are "unsure" about whether they will do so. Likewise, over half (52 per cent) of respondents feel the same way about artificial intelligence. Two-thirds (63 per cent) do not have a programme in place to attract digital talent. However, they are open to the idea of using these technologies, especially from the point of view of improved customer services and employee experiences.
