COVID-19 has only made data-driven strategies and investment in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) more critical.

As previous challenges related to talent, technology and funding have diminished, firms have built a strong foundation to implement machine learning at scale. The growth of the data science community – both in size and influence – is a key driving force behind these developments.

However, data quality and accessibility issues continue to disrupt machine learning strategies, and only businesses that can harness quality data and data science expertise to deploy their models at speed will gain a competitive edge.
