The talent crunch is not an impediment to AI. Businesses are now looking for new ways to accelerate deployments.
Dive Brief:
Talent shortages are not an impediment to AI adoption, a Gartner survey of almost 700 business leaders found. More than seven in ten executives reported they currently have or can source the necessary AI talent.
Companies are deploying AI strategically, to support decision-making and automation across a broad array of business functions, rather than just tactically within tech units. Four in five respondents believe that AI-powered automation can be applied to “any business decision.”
Demonstrating the effectiveness and the value of AI remains a challenge, despite widespread adoption. Two in five organizations surveyed have thousands of AI models deployed. However, only a little more than half of AI projects make it past the testing phase and into full production, according to the report.
