After decades of extravagant promises and frustrating disappointments, artificial intelligence (AI) is finally starting to deliver real-life benefits to early-adopting companies. Retailers on the digital frontier rely on AI-powered robots to run their warehouses--and even to automatically order stock when inventory runs low. Utilities use AI to forecast electricity demand. A confluence of developments is driving this new wave of AI development. Computer power is growing, algorithms and AI models are becoming more sophisticated, and, perhaps most important of all, the world is generating once-unimaginable volumes of the fuel that powers AI--data.

PHOENIX--Early adopters of artificial intelligence solutions are beginning to see success in clinical areas such as predicting readmissions and avoidable emergency department visits, according to a joint report from KLAS Research and the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME). KLAS and CHIME polled early adopter healthcare organizations using AI software, specifically machine learning and natural language processing, to evaluate the gains they've achieved in clinical, financial and operational areas. "The most exciting insight from our research is that artificial intelligence (machine learning and natural language processing) has truly begun to make a difference in healthcare. It's not all just smoke," Ryan Pretnik, director of research and strategy at KLAS and co-author of the study, said via email. "Artificial intelligence is driving outcomes, saving patient lives, and driving operational and financial efficiencies for providers and payers."

Companies new to the space can learn a great deal from early adopters who have invested billions into AI and are now beginning to reap a range of benefits.

Situational awareness: The report does not name the early adopters nor their industries, but in terms of pure AI research, nine companies -- all in the U.S. and China -- are believed to tower over peers with among the best talent and little chance for anyone else to catch up. They include Google, Microsoft, Baidu and Tencent. What the report says: McKinsey surveyed 3,031 business executives in seven western countries in North America and Europe. Of those self-identifying as "extensive adopters" of AI, 71% said they expect revenue growth exceeding 10%. In McKinsey's view, the signs point to the coming AI-infused giants.

A survey of more than 3,000 executives sheds light on how businesses are using AI, offering lessons for CEOs, as we explain in this article for Harvard Business Review. The buzz over artificial intelligence (AI) has grown loud enough to penetrate the C-suites of organizations around the world, and for good reason. Investment in AI is growing and is increasingly coming from organizations outside the tech space. And AI success stories are becoming more numerous and diverse, from Amazon reaping operational efficiencies using its AI-powered Kiva warehouse robots, to GE keeping its industrial equipment running by leveraging AI for predictive maintenance. While it's clear that CEOs need to consider AI's business implications, the technology's nascence in business settings makes it less clear how to profitably employ it.

While it's clear that CEOs need to consider AI's business implications, the technology's nascence in business settings makes it less clear how to profitably employ it. Through a study of AI that included a survey of 3,073 executives and 160 case studies across 14 sectors and 10 countries, and through a separate digital research program, we have identified 10 key insights CEOs need to know to embark on a successful AI journey.
