Uptake of AI in manufacturing, ICT and other sectors – in core business processes – is actually quite low. Do you think that SMEs, in general, are aware of the potential uses of AI in their sector? And what do you or your colleagues see as the key barriers to AI adoption today?
Do you do any form of systematic evidence gathering (like survey work) to assess the extent of these barriers among businesses?
What do you think is the most underestimated difficulty when initially trying to adopt AI?
In your experience, what types of advice and support are most effective for enterprises trying to adopt AI?
One problem we find is that it can be difficult for firms to calculate the return on investments in AI. Do you agree, and do you work on aiding firms in this connection? If so, kindly tell us about your approach.
Is there something different with respect to supporting AI adoption that you plan or would like to implement in future?
If budget were not a limit, what would you want to do to facilitate AI uptake in firms, particularly SMEs?
