Look into the five key trends shaping AI-driven analysis, making data insights more accessible and impactful for businesses.
With data-driven decision-making now the best competitive advantage a company can have, business leaders will increasingly demand to get the information they need at a faster, more consumable clip. Because of this, we’ll continue to see calls for AI to become a business-consumer-friendly product rather than one that only technically savvy data scientists and engineers can wield. It’s this vision for the future that’s driving the five trends in AI-driven analysis that we see right now:
Trend #1: Users demand an explainable approach to data analysis
As AI technology advances, understanding the processes behind its results can be challenging. This “black box” nature can lead to distrust and hinder AI adoption among non-technical business users. However, explainable AI (XAI) aims to democratize the use of AI tools and make it more accessible to business users.
XAI generates explanations for its analysis and leverages conversational language, coupled with compelling visualizations, so non-data experts can easily interpret its meaning. XAI will be crucial in the future of AI-driven data analysis by bridging the gap between the complex nature of advanced models and the human need for clear, understandable, and trustworthy outcomes.
Trend #2: Multimodal AI emerges
Multimodal AI is the ultimate tool for effective storytelling in today’s data-driven world. While Generative AI focuses on creating new content, Multimodal AI can be seen as an advanced extension of Generative AI with its ability to understand and tie together information coming from different media simultaneously. For example, a multimodal generative model could process text to create a story and enhance it with pertinent images and sounds.
As data sets become more complex and robust, it’s become difficult to comprehensively analyze that data using traditional methods. Multimodal AI gives analytics teams the ability to consume and analyze heterogeneous input so they can uncover critical information that leads to better strategic decision-making.
Trend #3: Enterprise AI gets personalized
Generative AI excels in creating tailored solutions that fit the unique needs of enterprises. This could be training a retail chatbot on region-specific cultural nuances to better serve customers in that area or developing an AI routine for handling sensitive tasks, such as managing confidential information. Moreover, Generative AI can analyze your customer base to identify communities and trends, enabling targeted marketing strategies and specialized customer service programs.
Trend #4: Data science investments will rise
Whether companies are looking to create their own personalized AI models in-house or purchase new technologies to help them scale automation, we’ll see a rise in data science investments. Tied to this is the role of data scientists becoming more focused on building and managing the implementation of these systems.
As the need for AI becomes more ubiquitous, there will also be an increased demand for AI platforms that enable data scientists to build and deploy AI-powered applications in an environment familiar to them. These applications will facilitate critical decision-making. These apps must be designed to be easily deployed company-wide while also being actionable decision-making tools for non-technical business leaders.
Trend #5: The business analyst role evolves
As the data scientist’s role changes, business analysts will add more value to the enterprise data strategy and provide answers in the context of the corporate vision. The same AI apps that make data more accessible to business leaders will empower analysts to extract meaningful patterns from vast and disparate datasets, enabling them to predict market trends, customer behavior, and potential risks.
By combining their business acumen and technical skills with AI, business analysts will be at the forefront of transforming how organizations translate data into actionable, strategic plans.
Always trending: AI ethics and safety
Across all AI-driven analytics trends, it is crucial to emphasize AI safety and ethical practices as fundamental aspects in all areas of the business. For instance, Ethical AI is essential to help ensure that AI technologies are beneficial, fair, and safe to use. That is because AI models can inadvertently perpetuate biases present in the training data. As AI becomes increasingly personalized, incorporating a wider variety of data inputs and innovations, it is crucial that responsible AI governance and training are implemented across all levels of the organization. When everyone understands both the advantages and limits of AI, the future truly becomes brighter for all.
