The data to be translated: A study released by big data application search provider Lucidworks Inc. found that 93% of companies plan to increase their investment in AI over the next 12 months. The research surveyed over 6,000 employees involved in AI technology decision-making and discovered variations in the plans of companies from different regions to increase AI investment. Additionally, the entertainment, technology, and consumer goods sectors were found to be leading, while professional services, government, hospitality, and tourism are lagging behind in adopting generative AI. Mike Sinoway, CEO of Lucidworks, stated that it is time to understand the strategic and operational opportunities of generative AI, and this study confirms the emergence of industry leaders and laggards.
