Forging ahead
When deployed with the right strategies, machine
learning (ML) can increase agility, streamline processes,
boost revenue by creating new products and improving
existing ones, and enable better, faster decision-making.
There's no doubt machine learning and artificial
intelligence (AI) can help companies achieve more—in
a recent survey by McKinsey, 63 percent of respondents
reported revenue increases from AI adoption in the
business units where their companies use AI.¹ It's also
clear that adopters continue to have confidence in AI
technologies' ability to drive value and advantage.
According to Gartner, 75 percent of enterprises will shift
from piloting AI to operationalizing AI by the end of
2024,² and according to Deloitte, 57 percent say AI will
transform their organization over the next three years.³
