Abstract: 

The Adoption of AI in Business: Opportunities and Challenges: While corporate expectations for artificial intelligence are sky-high across industry and geography, few organizations have mastered integrating the technology into their business processes and offerings — and many who want to don’t fully understand the work that lies ahead. MIT Sloan Management Review’s recent research on artificial intelligence and business strategy offers a "state of the state" of AI adoption inside corporations.
This session will provide an overview of organizational readiness for and adoption of AI across sectors.
