Firms switching gear to AI for faster development

Technology key to boosting efficiency, innovation, says Accenture report

Chinese companies will accelerate the adoption and popularization of artificial intelligence technology to boost operational efficiency and reinvent their businesses, as a new era of digitization is unfolding — one in which AI continuously drives new levels of autonomy across organizations — according to a new report by global consultancy Accenture.

The report said 57 percent of surveyed executives from Chinese companies anticipate a significant increase in the use of AI agents by their organizations in the next three years, compared with the global average of 40 percent.

They stressed that AI agents will benefit their organization's digital architecture, including increased flexibility, enhanced innovation and faster development time.
