Study on the impact of artificial intelligence on Quebec businesses

The study conducted by Aviseo was unveiled at the Forum IA for the Conseil du Patronat du Québec. Its objective was to provide a clear understanding of what AI is, to offer visibility on the impacts and challenges of AI adoption in Quebec, and to provide concrete recommendations for integrating AI.

Highlights :

AI enables improved productivity, faster decision-making, reduced costs, development of competitive advantages, enhanced customer experience, as well as improved security.
In the absence of clearly defined objectives, more than a third (35%) of Quebec companies that have adopted AI say they are unaware of its specific uses.
Lack of identification of business needs is the major obstacle to AI adoption (73%).
The implementation of AI is uniformly influencing corporate governance, strategy and transformation across a range of sectors.
A well-defined strategy is essential to align AI systems with business objectives, plan the necessary resources and manage change. This facilitates continuous and effective innovation.
Successful transformation ensures smooth adoption of AI systems. It minimizes disruption, ensures adequate employee training and fosters employee engagement, while enabling accurate performance monitoring.
Structured governance in the implementation and use of AI is crucial for managing risks and framing responsible and transparent use, thereby reinforcing stakeholder trust.
