Implementation

Research suggests that AI will be implemented into the tech sector and tech industries the fastest. This makes sense as it is the sector responsible for developing the product in the first place, so they will have the knowledge and opportunity to use AI to its fullest at the start of the spread. Since the implementation of AI must be trained on unique data specific to that company it is beneficial for a company to be on board with AI early rather than later to utilize the full experience that AI can offer. Though implementing AI successfully requires attention to be focused on elements of digital and analytics transformation, the right data ecosystem and the appropriate AI for your specific function or business. Implementing AI can adapt the workflow process, capabilities and culture. A smooth transition requires leadership from management and a thorough understanding of technical capabilities and having seamless data access are important enablers (Bughin et al., 2017, p. 4). The transition to working with AI and how a workplace handles the implementation will ultimately decide how it impacts employees and the company. In a report conducted by TechRepublic, author Alison Rayome states that businesses are adopting AI at an increasing rate. "According to a new report from Narrative Science and the National Business Research Institute" she says, "Some 61% of businesses said they implemented AI in 2017—up from just 38% in 2016" (Rayome, 2018, para. 1). The benfits the business is reciving from the implementation varys, the most prominent benefits being business intelligence and finance. Executives that were polled stated that automating repetitive tasks, improving workforce productivity and competing with peers are the beneficial outcomes from adopting AI (para. 5-6). The article goes on to echo my statement earlier regarding the importance of a clear goal and communication during implementation. The benefits of AI will not be reaped if your workforce is upset and confused from the incorporation of artificial intelligence.
