Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the modern technology tool largely responsible for redefining IT transformation \u2013 helping teams work smarter, not harder.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Epicor research, AI\u202fadoption has been found to be driving smarter, more resilient supply chains. The survey shows the technology is no longer in the experimental stages, it is reshaping business models.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAI\u202fis becoming an essential tool in helping supply chain businesses anticipate and respond to inevitable change,\u201d said Kerrie Jordan, Chief Marketing Officer and Senior Vice President of Product at Epicor. \u201cWe\u2019re seeing organisations unlock the agility needed to lead through disruption by not just deploying\u202fAI\u202fbut by building a digital foundation and workforce behind it.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether it\u2019s speeding up internal processes and creating efficiencies or being positioned at the heart of the world\u2019s first AI city set for completion in 2027, its wide-reaching advantages are undeniable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To celebrate this tech evolution, the recent annual AI Awareness Day paid homage to its transformative capabilities, not to mention its positive influence on our daily lives, businesses and society. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evan Reiss, VP, Head of Marketing at Foxit, appreciates AI Awareness Day as a timely reminder of the accelerating transformation of the workplace \u2013 and the need for the UK to remain a leader in this evolution.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe companies embedding\u202fAI\u202finto their workflows today are redefining their industries. With the rise of\u202fAI\u202fagents \u2013 systems that can act with instruction, memory and context \u2013 we\u2019re seeing the next wave of intelligent automation. These tools don\u2019t just support knowledge workers; they extend their capabilities,\u201d said Reiss.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While one of the many notable advantages of AI is its ability to take on laborious tasks like data handling \u2013 setting it apart from other emerging technologies on the market \u2013 like with any tech tool, there\u2019s bound to be debate and uncertainty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many have grappled with the implementation of AI due to ethical concerns around job replacement and the need to redesign business models. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year, in a bid to tackle and overcome AI inertia, Microsoft and LinkedIn investigated how AI will reshape work and the labour market by surveying 31,000 people across 31 countries. The survey found 60%\u202fof leaders worry their organisation\u2019s leadership lacks a plan and vision to implement AI. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This result highlights the very real concerns still present around the use of this technology and how best to utilise it. Echoing this sentiment is a study conducted by GoTo in partnership with research firm, Workplace Intelligence, revealing 86% of employees say they aren\u2019t using it to its full potential, exposing a significant disparity between promise and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So although the benefits of AI are well received, many still feel unprepared and understandably concerned about potential implications \u2013 by the same token, we mustn\u2019t let fear take hold and stand in the way of success.\u202f <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
