Gaining the AI advantage
Artificial intelligence will transform the innovation process. Organizations see the opportunity — and understand the risk of falling behind.
Even though it is still an emerging technology, AI has quickly become a focus for technology organizations. Our survey found that 70% of engineers and 78% of executives named AI as one of their top investment priorities over the next three years, scoring higher than other technologies such as renewable energy and data connectivity.
To maximize the impact of these investments, organizations must develop a clear strategy for AI integration. Successful strategies will include alignment between engineers and executives on roles and responsibilities in AI implementation, as well as targeted training and upskilling programs to develop in-house AI skills.
Organizations that follow this strategic approach are more likely to reap the benefits of AI in their innovation efforts. Those that struggle to build alignment between engineers and executives or fail to invest in the needed training could fall behind their peers.
