The CIO's Journey to Artificial Intelligence - Smarter With Gartner

Although many core AI technologies are proven, the market for solutions using those technologies overall is in its infancy, such that CIOs should expect rapid product and solution change. Some industries have utilized AI to great success. In healthcare, for example, thanks to "computer-assisted diagnosis," a computer was able to spot 52% of breast cancers based on mammography scans up to one year before the women were officially diagnosed. But there are limits to AI solutions, especially if there isn't enough data available or if it's of poor quality.By jump starting innovation, CIOs in combination with business peers can jointly figure out how to best use AI technologies in their industry. Companies that commit to promoting experimentation across the organization can encourage their employees to interact with low cost AI products -- Alexa, Cortana, a drone, a wearable, and so on.
