Abstract: Last year, MIT CISR introduced a four-stage enterprise AI maturity framework to help leaders identify how to create value from AI (artificial intelligence) technology. A new MIT CISR survey has found that enterprises today are making significant progress in their AI maturity, with the greatest financial impact seen in the progression from stage 2, where enterprises build pilots and capabilities, to stage 3, where enterprises develop scaled AI ways of working. In this briefing we describe how enterprises mature from piloting AI to scaling it, illustrated by case studies of the Guardian Life Insurance Company of America and Italgas Group.
