What You Need to Know About the Seventh Annual Industry Report
In our seventh edition of the State of AI and Machine Learning Report, we continue to evaluate an industry that is changing rapidly year-over-year. Our goal with the report is to provide a current picture of the trends, priorities, and challenges faced by businesses building AI technology. Once again, we surveyed both technical and business leaders to understand their approaches to AI development, and their answers indicate the important shifts taking place industry-wide. And naturally, there are global trends to account for as well. The pandemic continues to exert pressure on organizations to evolve and globalize their technology to fit an increasingly virtual world. We surveyed our respondents on this important topic to better understand its effects on AI development. As in previous years, we investigated priority differences between technical and business leaders, looked at increasing budgets and deployments, and noted trends in AI technology applications. For the first time, we looked at how organizations are leveraging external data providers to combat the persistent challenge of collecting and preparing quality data. All together, these factors and others included in the report provide AI practitioners with a set of learnings on how to organize people, processes, and tools for greater likelihood of success in the field. As companies start to overcome barriers to deployment, investment in AI and machine learning is becoming less optional as a core strategy to compete.What is the 2021 State of AI and Machine Learning Report?
