AI as a competitive advantage

Organizations already see AI as a key differentiator, and engineers believe that AI skills will help their career prospects.

More than 80% of executives believe that AI will be a critical component of business operations within three years. That short deployment window makes it essential to accelerate AI adoption to gain a competitive advantage. Likewise, more than 75% of engineers believe AI expertise will be a must-have skillset for continued success in their careers.

However, these convictions raise important questions about who will lead AI implementation within an organization, and how engineers will develop the skills needed to master this innovative technology.
