Artificial Intelligence: Is the Honeymoon Over? - Schneider Electric Blog

Last year, Forrester noted that, "The honeymoon for enterprises naively celebrating the cure-all promises of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies is over: …AI and all other new technologies like big data and cloud computing still require hard work."[1] Given that 70% of enterprises expect to implement AI this year[2], including Schneider Electric, I would like to offer 3 concrete ways companies can seize the business value that I strongly believe AI promises. Integrating an AI strategy can seem like a daunting task as Forrester analysts point out, so we recommend that any company embarking on this journey start with a pragmatic, practical approach to individual AI projects. Ask upfront: "Which problem can I solve with an AI-enabled digital solution?" This question always prompts our R&D process to lead with the customer challenge in mind.
