Return on investment (ROI) is often the cornerstone of C-level decision making. But even as businesses embrace AI and spending is on the rise, a high ROI is not guaranteed. Making the business case for AI is challenging where the VentureBeat article titled “The truth about AI and ROI: Can artificial intelligence really deliver?” explains some of the reasons why. But the biggest challenge that I have seen is that AI often does not map to an isolated use case that can be measured through ROI.
In our discussions with customers and partners, we get asked basic questions about AI. Scott Pringle recently wrote a piece on “Do AI Systems Get Smarter Over Time?” which steps through how AI models learn. This is a great five minute read for someone interested in how AI works but not steeped in python or neural networks.
