Artificial Intelligence (AI) will soon be able to act on its own – observing a situation, deciding how to respond, and learning from the outcome, without waiting to be prompted. But businesses could miss out on the benefits, because of their internal processes, warns Milind, Principal Scientist at Mercedez-Benz Singapore.

Speaking ahead of The AI Summit, Milind says the rise of this ‘sovereign machine’ could generate millions of dollars in productivity gains. Like many commentators, however, he believes the tendency for companies to treat AI and business strategy as separate concerns will prevent it from being deployed to its full potential.

“We often see business leaders delegate AI strategy to IT teams, which makes sense from a technical perspective. But business strategy today increasingly hinges on technical capability – so we see the best results when business and AI strategy are designed together. For that to happen, we need AI fluency right across the C-suite,” he said.
