We recently conducted a poll on Linked In asking the very general question ‘What are your initial views on AI for business?’.

The results showed that 91% said ‘they see the potential benefits’ with 9% stating that they thought ‘it was too early to know’.

It was interesting that nobody said they were against it, and there was equally nobody who said they didn’t know enough about it before being able to form an initial opinion.

Over the coming weeks we will be drilling down further to get more information about people’s hopes and expectations of AI for business, and to share how we at RPS Software might be better placed to make informed decisions about where we take our products and services in the future through understanding these expectations.

The full poll results were as follows:

Question – what are your initial views on AI for business?

I see the potential benefits 91%

No, it’s not for me 0%

It’s too early to really know 9%

I don’t know enough about it 0%

The next question

The second question in the poll will be ‘Given that AI is a global phenomenon, do you think there needs to be very strong regulation from the outset to ensure it cannot be misused in terms of information capture and data use?’
