Business leaders and technologists see artificial intelligence differently — which is not a surprise. However, they have different perspectives on the progress on AI projects, and what it takes to scale AI to meet enterprise challenges. For example, technologists are twice as likely to see lack of viable data as an issue.
“This could be attributed to business leaders misunderstanding that the data on hand is often not the data needed when it comes to deploying AI at scale,” the authors of a recent survey report released by Appen, surmise. .The survey covered 374 companies. When asked about the issues encountered with AI, technologists were more likely than business leaders to cite skills issues (24% versus 21%) and lack of data (17% versus 9%).
