The Big Data and AI industry is more than a trend; it’s here to stay, steadily growing in its impact, relevance, and predictive capabilities. Furthermore, the methods to capture and utilize this data are advancing, solidifying its comparison to \digital oil\. Not only is processing power consistently increasing exponentially, but data storage costs are simultaneously shrinking- driving customer expectations and competitive dynamics.
As AI progresses and transforms various sectors, the reasons stakeholders invest money into these technologies shift. Broadly, their investments target two main objectives: offensive(proactive) and defensive(reactive) spending. Proactive investments focus on innovation, transformation, and securing a competitive advantage, whereas reactive spending aims at cutting operational costs and ensuring regulatory compliance. Recent trends over the last four years indicate a tilt towards defensive initiatives, suggesting a potential maturation of an industry that was only recently brought into the spotlight.
