Around 37% firms adopted AI in some way globally: Report

Given the level of ease and convenience that Artificial Intelligence (AI) brings with its implementation and use, the number of organisations that adopted AI in some way or the other globally has risen from 25 percent in 2018 to 37 percent today, global market research firm Gartner said on Monday.

The deployment of AI has tripled in the past year with 52 percent of telco organisations deploying chatbots and 38 percent of healthcare providers relying on computer-assisted diagnostics.

"Four years ago, AI implementation was rare, only 10 per cent of survey respondents reported that their organisations had deployed AI or would do so shortly. For 2019, that number has leapt to 37 per cent - a 270 per cent increase in four years," said Chris Howard, Research Vice President at Gartner.
