From McKinsey ; Jacques Bughin and James Manyika , directors of the McKinsey Global Institute ; et al .
AI : Artificial intelligence is one of the most exciting tech trends currently gaining momentum . With the potential to make highly complex tasks automated , AI could herald the beginning of workers being liberated to focus on qualitative tasks instead of repetitive ones .
“ How do we learn to trust AI ? Responsible AI builds trust and lays the foundation for successful scaling by taking a “ human-first ” approach — using technology to help people make better decisions , while keeping them firmly accountable through the right governance processes and technical steps . Our AI : Built to Scale research says responsibility is more than a ‘ nice to have ’— with AI Strategic Scalers significantly more likely to brief their employees clearly on how they tackle responsible AI ( and the UK markedly above the global average in this respect ).” From Accenture ; Dr . Athina Kanioura , chief analytics officer ; and Fernando Lucini , MD – artificial intelligence lead .
