Study finds AI can teach humans new tricks

A global survey of more than 3,000 managers, as well as interviews with executives and scholars, has reported that a majority of companies are developing artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities but have yet to gain significant financial benefits from their efforts. The survey, published in the Expanding AI's impact with organisational learning study from Boston Consulting Group in partnership with MIT Sloan Management Review, found that just one in 10 companies generates significant financial benefits from AI. The study notes that the adoption of AI across industries is increasing, and more companies perceive that AI drives both strategic opportunity and risk. The researchers found that 57% of companies report having AI pilots or have deployed AI. This is a significant increase from 2018, when 44% of companies said they were piloting or deploying AI.
