AI is within reach of any company, large or small. But many companies are unclear where and how to practically apply AI within their business; have concerns about security, privacy and compliance; and perceive AI as complex and costly to integrate into existing services, products and processes. Rapidly evolving AI technologies can also make it difficult to keep up to date and skilling up technical AI expertise can take time.
