BBVA claims that “by 2025, AI will become the ‘essential’ tool both
for redefining customer experience and for reinventing a broad
variety of business models”. Currently, Gartner reports that only
41% of organizations surveyed have “already made progress in
piloting or adopting AI solutions”, while 59% are still gathering
information and formulating strategies. While Gartner’s report
acknowledges the potentially far-reaching possibilities of ‘broad’
AI, the report notes that current digital business applications are
limited to ‘Narrow’ AI. Narrow AI is an umbrella term for “highly
scoped machine-learning solutions that target a specific task”.
Gartner vice president, David Cearley, recommends that “enterprises
should focus on business results enabled by applications
that exploit narrow AI technologies and leave general AI to the
researchers and science fiction writers”.
