AI is penetrating further into the business environment every year, forming a solid foundation for increased adoption. McKinsey finds that companies that are making greater investments in AI are seeing greater financial returns. As a result, more businesses are scaling up their investments to speed AI development. Higher ROI and improved competitiveness, together with greater digital maturity, have boosted AI adoption. For example, according to IBM findings, 53% of IT professionals have accelerated their rollout of AI over the past two years, which is 10% more than in 2021, when the trend was fueled by the COVID-19 pandemic.
