In the 7th edition of its annual State of AI and Machine Learning report, Appen continues to explore the strategies employed by companies large and small in successfully deploying AI. The reports surveys business leaders and technical practitioners ( referred to as technologists) alike to understand their priorities, their successes, and their bottlenecks when it comes to implementing AI. Collectively, their answers enabled the company to paint a picture of how the AI industry continues to evolve in a world that is more virtual, more tech-savvy, and more globalized than ever.
The AI industry is growing and we’re seeing expanding budgets fueling this growth. AI initiatives continue to scale as we’re seeing a shift in priorities to more organizations viewing deployment of practical AI as a core strategy and moving away from mere experimentation. This year, Appewn investigated the usage of external data providers, examining how this growing trend impacts the delivery of AI. We discovered that partnering with an external data provider makes a significant difference in the successes of AI initiatives.
The State of AI 2021 report is a cross-industry effort intended to provide a snapshot of the AI space through input from senior decision-makers. The report gives current AI practitioners an idea of how other organizations are thinking about AI—including which factors drive success and which factors remain significant hurdles. Understanding what to prioritize and how to address common challenges
can help accelerate AI delivery for any readers who are endeavoring to launch their own AI initiatives.
