White Paper


Transforming Retail: Key AI industry Use Cases

Overview

Artificial intelligence (AI) is leading the technology market in 2024, with many companies using it to optimize operations and boost profits. A Gartner® survey shows that 79% of corporate strategies consider AI and data analytics essential for success in the next two years.

However, a Harvard Business Review article from late 2023 reveals that 80% of AI adoption projects fail due to leadership issues, uncertainty about expected outcomes, and misaligned models. This highlights the importance of having a clear and well-documented use case before implementing AI-based solutions.
