What You Need to Know About the Sixth Annual Industry Report
We introduced the State of AI and Machine Learning Report over six years ago when AI and machine learning adoption was still in its infancy. Since then, the industry has grown significantly, with budgets, executive visibility, and ownership all increasing year-over-year. Despite rapid growth, there is more room for organizations to adopt, scale, and evolve their AI programs. In 2020, global organizations and well-funded startups are leading the way by integrating AI as a core component of their business. Other organizations are still testing the waters or working to scale their initial programs, as they see early results. This is the second year where we have explored the gap between line of business decision-makers (which we refer to throughout the report as business leaders) and technical practitioners (which we refer to as technologists). As AI adoption matures, both types of leaders need to be mindful of these differences and work together to better manage change. New to the report this year, we have also measured the state of AI for enterprise (1,000+ full-time employees) and commercial (fewer than 1,000 full-time employees) organizations. As organizations begin to scale their deployments, we see AI moving up in the organization, with the C-suite embracing and taking ownership of AI. This shift and the growth that fuels it puts more focus on areas like ethics and bias, scalability, and the criticality of AI to the business as key parts of building a successful AI journey.What is the 2020 State of AI and Machine Learning Report?
