State of AI Report 2018

AI: Hype or Substance

Artificial intelligence is hailed as the next major technology disruptor, providing enterprises with new capabilities and revenue streams. But how much is hype versus actual implementation?

Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies enable computers to perform tasks that human beings have traditionally been better at doing than machines are. In recent years, AI has advanced rapidly, and enterprises are becoming very interested in the technology, particularly predictive analytics, machine learning, and other types of AI that allow them to extract insights from big data. However, most organizations haven’t deployed these systems into production yet, and it will take time to see the full impact of AI on enterprises.
