Nearly 50% of respondents indicated that they believe organization investment in AI development will actually increase despite the current economic situation.

Over 57% of respondents are running less than 5 machine learning models in their product and 14% do not have AI implemented in their organization at all.
The top challenges for executing AI are the same as those reported in ML Insider survey for 2021, hiring data science talent and the lack of AI expertise. The single most important factor holding back AI acceptance was the technical complexity of development.

In 2023, this trend may help alleviate hiring challenges and accelerate AI’s maturity.
