Nearly two-thirds of Businesses are spending between  $.5 and $10 million on AI and 64 percent of those say that implementing AI has been difficult, often taking between 7 and 18 months to go from concept to deployment, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businesswire.com\/news\/home\/20190730005456\/en\/New-Research-Reveals-Data-Science-Machine-Learning\">a report from Dotscience found.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What are some of the problems?

As a company your argument is that \u2018we might save costs,\u2019 but you have to spend $100,000 to find out if you\u2019ll save anything. It is not a low-cost implementation.
