Many of us are already familiar with its everyday applications, such as decluttering our inboxes with spam filters or receiving personalised shopping recommendations. Yet, whether it is powering a new generation of self-driving cars, guarding us against fraud or helping doctors better diagnose health conditions, AI’s transformational abilities are being felt in increasingly ubiquitous and innovative ways. Nor does the impact of AI begin and end with our everyday experiences – it is reshaping organisations and industries too. Lengthy, complex, process-driven tasks that once took hours can now be performed almost instantaneously. Vast data sets can be collected, analysed, and acted upon within minutes. Colleagues in multi-national organisations can communicate using natural language processing to translate conversations across multiple languages in real time. And customer experiences can be streamlined and digitised across a wide variety of sectors.But amidst all this opportunity lies great responsibility. Only by applying AI in the right way can we unlock its extraordinary potential for good. Given the state of geopolitics, as well as the mercurial nature of the global economy, it is especially vital that such technology is designed, developed, and deployed in ways that are thoughtful and responsible. Fortunately, the UK has long prided itself on ethically grounded innovation. Historically, from Ada Lovelace to Alan Turing, this nation has produced some of the world’s most progressive scientists and thinkers. Fast forward to today and we remain home to an internationally-renowned academic research sector, as well as some of the planet’s most innovative companies. Add to that the Government’s recent commitment to invest nearly £1 billion as part of its AI Sector Deal, and the UK is perfectly placed to become a global leader in AI. But success tomorrow requires action today. Our research reveals that two in five of the UK’s business leaders believe their current business model will cease to exist in five years’ time. Yet fewer than half of the UK organisations we spoke to have an AI strategy in place. Any organisation still unconvinced about the need to change and translate that awareness into action need look no further than one of the headline findings of this report. Namely, organisations who are investing in AI are already significantly outperforming those who are not. Meanwhile, organisations that are backing up technological investment with clear ethical guidelines a
