Microsoft developed the AI 360° model to help companies trying to adopt artificial intelligence get the most out of the technology. The model was designed with 3 primary uses in mind:
- As a strategic model for guiding investment in AI
- To support digital transformation planning
- To identify where AI is currently being implemented in your company and areas where it has the potential to be deployed going forward
The AI 360 model visualises 4 key digital transformation benefits, 5 AI functionalities and 8 capabilities required to enable successful implementation of AI within a business. To come up with these, Microsoft and EY examined 112 companies across 5 countries in the Middle East and Africa.
