BSE: R U AI? People and Business in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence has entered the daily lives of citizens and businesses. It is changing the way we live, work and produce, and the truth is that we will either adapt and use it or fall behind. Artificial intelligence is here to stay. 

AI solutions offer significant benefits in different fields. Businesses that have adopted them record practical benefits that include: 17% higher profit margins, 13% higher profitability, 12% fuel savings, 10% accelerated product launches, increased market share, improved customer experience and enhanced employee productivity. However, they remain few, as according to the latest BusinessPulse survey, they do not exceed 12% of the total. Adaptation is not a given and must be based on the best possible preparation of people and businesses, so that the rapid technological developments and the new tools they create provide an opportunity to create even greater value.
