AI Adoption by Enterprises Up 80% Next 2 Years, IBM Predicts

AIOps seems inevitable, simply because artificial intelligence will become a basic tool supporting virtyally all enterprise and consumer applications, devices and platforms in coming years.

A new survey commissioned by IBM leads the firm to predict that adoption of AI in the corporate world will climb dramatically over the next 18 to 24 months, exploding to 80 percent or even 90 percent.

Global companies are planning to heavily invest in all areas of AI over the next 12 months, IBM says, including:

• Proprietary AI solutions: 35 percent
• Off the shelf applications: 34 percent
• Off the shelf tools to build their own AI models: 33 percent
• Reskilling and workforce development: 33 percent
• Embedding AI into current applications and processes: 28 percent
• R&D: 26 percent

Across industries, most global businesses have either deployed artificial intelligence in their business (34 percent) or are ramping up exploratory phases with AI (39 percent), meaning almost three in four businesses surveyed are in the AI game.

Large companies are leading AI adoption, with 45 percent of firms over 1,000 citing adoption of AI compared to 29 percent of companies under 1,000 employees. 

"Business is in a Near Constant State of Flux"

A survey of 300 information technology professionals by App Associates shows the impact of cloud migration for Oracle users. About 37 percent of respondents already have migrated Oracle operations to the cloud, while 57 percent are in the process of doing so. Only five percent say they are “planning to migrate.” Just one percent say they have no plans to move to cloud delivery.

Among the implications noted by App Associates is that “business is in a near constant state of flux.” And that often is cited as a reason for the value of AIOps.
