Let’s talk about AI

What technologies will be key for advancing new businesses? AI tops the list for many executives, according to the latest McKinsey Global Survey on new-business building. Senior partners Ari Libarikian and Ralf Dreischmeier and colleagues found that more than half of respondents anticipate a need to incorporate artificial intelligence into their new businesses to deliver on their value propositions. Thirty-five percent say the same about the Internet of Things.

In most industries, a majority of respondents point to AI as a required technology for new businesses in the years ahead.
