Global AI Maturity Survey Analysis

Analysis from the 2021 Frost & Sullivan Global AI Survey

AI holds the potential to deliver significant benefits for economies and societies-from enabling new business models and driving operational efficiencies to the provision of accurate predictive outcomes.

As AI promises to create immense value, organizations have started adopting it. However, the deployment of AI is a journey as organizations start from the exploration of relevant technologies and use-cases to the ubiquitous embedding of the technology across business functions. Therefore, it is important to analyze organizations' readiness or maturity for technology deployment.

Frost & Sullivan has developed a 4-stage AI maturity framework that considers multiple dimensions such as AI strategy and roadmap articulation; data readiness; regulatory, compliance, and policy alignment; and stage of technology and deployment. To assess AI maturity, Frost & Sullivan conducted a global survey with more than 700 organizations, whose maturity levels were analyzed. The study highlights the key findings in terms of AI maturity.

The study offers technology vendors and service providers a perspective on AI readiness with regard to select parameters to assess potential opportunities to create customer value and help end users understand the level of maturity in the overall landscape.
