Covid-19 the latest AI demand driver

As many as 57% of chief data and analytics officers have said that Covid-19 has increased demand for AI, digital products and tools in enterprise. The findings were published in the report Building AI-driven enterprises in a disrupted environment, by global analytics software firm FICO and market intelligence firm Corinium. Together they surveyed more than 100 C-level analytic and data executives. The study found that uncertainties caused by the pandemic have forced many organisations to adopt a more committed, disciplined approach to becoming an AI-driven enterprise. In addition to rates of take-up, the survey also questioned respondents on ethical and responsible AI, and competitive advantages AI could generate post-Covid.
