Figure Eight prepared this insightful report - 300 people across a variety of industries and company sizes contributed to this data quick summary:.
- Today, more than one-third of organizations use AI.
- Deployments grown by 270% in four years.
- More companies are focused on incorporating AI into their daily business processes.
- Companies already adopted AI report they have edged ahead of competitors.
Two participant groups in this survey comprised as follows:
- Technical people: 80% data scientists, 20% data engineers/machine learning engineers/software application developers.
- Line-of-business: 50% of product managers/directors/business analyst, vice-president and C-level executives.
TL : DR - In essence the use of A.I is still the same as 2018, cleaning big sets of data, automating repetitive tasks Β - it's not yet dystopian science fiction stuff as seen in movies. Here's some graphs, but please download the report to be deeply informed.
