"Global, monopolistic platforms like Google, Facebook and Amazon do not pursue “AI” as a science project. Nor do hospitals, insurance companies, banks, airlines or governments. They do so for specific, strategic purposes, which in corporate settings are aimed at generating new revenue. "
Well, many companies will throw some money willy nilly at AI 'because' HBR said to, or consultants are pushing it, or they 'know it's coming' and need to start somewhere.
It might be rational to do some experimenting, but many companies don't have a clue really, they're throwing money at it. FB and G obviously have a clue, but even they have so much money and talent they can afford to experiment whereupon the ROI might be way, way off.
- kthejoker2 8y agoI sell AI and ML service-based solutions to large enterprises and if anything they're highly skeptical of AI and ML adding value and are always comparing its ROI to the alternative of basic data management, mastering, out-of-the-box analytics tools. I'd say they're a lot savvier than anyone in this thread is giving them credit for.
