AN ARTICLE A DAY, PICKED BY OUR EDITORS

AI is becoming a bigger part of our lives. Adoption of AI has more than doubled since 2017, though it has leveled off in the past few years. And capabilities like natural-language generation and computer vision are playing a major role in the products and business processes of many organizations. In the latest annual Global Survey on AI, McKinsey leaders Michael Chui, Bryce Hall, Helen Mayhew, and Alex Singla look at how AI has expanded and evolved over the past five years, what AI leaders are doing differently to stay ahead, and what needs to be done when it comes to hiring talent. Check it out and explore the data.

Quote of the day

“We see cloud technology as being a way to drive agility and velocity—it gives companies the ability to deliver new services into production environments in such a way that customers can interact with new features and functionality on a much more regular basis. We see this growing customer focus across multiple industries, which is really exciting.”

—McKinsey partner Brant Carson, leader of McKinsey’s technology and cloud practices across Asia, on a recent episode of McKinsey’s Future of Asia Podcast
