TechRepublic's Karen Roby talked with Greg Douglas of Accenture, an artificial intelligence (AI) company, about the myths surrounding scaling AI. The following is an edited transcript of their conversation. Karen Roby: As the pandemic continues, many companies are looking to scale AI projects, and there are a lot of myths out there about how you actually take this technology to scale. You guys have put together a really interesting study that looked at a real cross section when it comes to AI. Let's talk a little bit about the most important findings and what really jumped out to you from this study. Greg Douglas: We interviewed 1,500 executives across 16 different industries around the world, so a really vast survey, to see where our clients and where companies were at in terms of scaling and deploying artificial intelligence.
