Artificial intelligence is poised to make a genuine improvement in productivity for Australian businesses but the real benefits won't be unlocked without careful data management, one expert says.
Teresa Tung, senior managing director at global information tech giant Accenture, who is in Sydney from the US to meet with local business leaders, has told AAP companies are already adopting out-of-the-box AI solutions such as Microsoft's Copilot.
"You combine something and the model is already pre-integrated, and it's going to take whatever data you apply to it or sometimes you can start with no data and get going," she explained.
