ClickZ AI Summit 2020: Where industry experts bridge the knowledge gap

Artificial intelligence (AI) has long been looked at as an “industry game-changer” but has merely become jargon than actual hands-on technology.

While it continues to grow rapidly – the AI market is expected to grow from $28.42 billion in 2019 to $40.74 billion in 2020 at a CAGR of 43.39% — we observed that the knowledge gap stands as one of the biggest challenges for AI technology adoption and implementation, and our AI Summit 2020 aims to help businesses address exactly that continuum.

For a better idea, these quick facts perfectly display the AI-related challenges faced:

• According to Gartner, only one in 25 CIOs reported applying AI in their business verticals
• Retailers that implemented machine learning for personalization gained 2X as compared to retailers who did not
• According to a McKinsey, only 8% of respondents across industries said their AI-relevant data are accessible by systems across the organization
• Only 3% of an organization’s data meet the quality standards needed for analytics
