Enterprises Move Beyond Digital Transformation to AI-First Operations

Computers and digital tools once made companies special, because not everyone had them.

Today, almost all big companies have them, so they are no longer special.

An expert named Sridhar Mantha wrote an article about the next big change.

He says companies should become 'AI-first,' which means letting smart computer programs called AI help with decisions and work.

Many companies already use some AI — 88% of them use it in at least one part of their business.

But only about one in three companies really use AI across everything they do.

AI can help factories avoid breaking down and help banks check risks much faster than before.

Some companies are using AI to invent new products, and one in four are testing AI that can do jobs with many steps on its own.

Experts believe AI could add trillions of dollars to the world's economy every year.

Companies that learn to use AI deeply, instead of just pretending to, will likely become the new leaders.
