IBM has announced new capabilities in artificial intelligence (AI) and hybrid cloud that will help businesses move forward with digital transformation.
“We will look back on this year and last as the moment the world entered the digital century in full force,” says Arvind Krishna, IBM chair and CEO, in a statement.
“In the same way that we electrified factories and machines in the past century, we will use hybrid cloud to infuse AI into software and systems in the 21st century.”
A new IBM study on the adoption of AI for business reveals that the imperative to embed AI into business processes became more urgent during the pandemic.
Of IT professionals surveyed, 43 per cent said that their companies had accelerated their rollout of AI. And nearly half of global IT professionals surveyed said they evaluate AI providers in large part on their ability to automate processes.
