Each technology is at a different point on the adoption curve, but the first wave Adopted in one business unit 13% of companies using DARQ technologies to drive differentiation is already 23% 22% here. 24% Piloting The Symphony Post-Acute Network incorporated AI and machine learning to improve care for its 80,000 patients, using a cloud-based AI engine to 27% drive predictions and recommendations based on its existing patient 27% 6 25% 23% 22% data. The resulting insights led to a drop in readmission rates from 21 24% percent to less than 19—a huge reduction in a key success metric in Evaluating or planning to pilot healthcare, at a cost savings of more than $13,000 per patient. Similar AI- driven results can be found across industries, with 80 percent of 24% companies reporting that AI is in production in their organization in some 23% 7 22% form. 27% 27% Not planning or evaluating for adoption 11% Others are already creating new value with distributed ledger technology. Don’t know 7% 9% A consortium including AB InBev, APL, and Kuehne + Nagel developed a 2% 3% 3% blockchain solution to save hundreds of millions of dollars for the freight Artificial Distributed Augmented 8 and logistics industry. The approach reduces the need for data entry Intelligence Ledgers/ Reality/Virtual related to transport documentation by up to 80 percent while Blockchain Reality streamlining required cargo checks and customs compliance. Please indicate your organization’s stage of adoption for each of the following emerging technologies today. And while quantum computing is the furthest from full maturity and impractical as a current investment for most companies, advances in quantum research are bringing costs down significantly. The number of qubits (the quantum equivalent of a bit in a traditional computer) in leading chips is accelerating: it took 19 years to get from a chip with two qubits to a chip with 17, which IBM achieved in 2017; later that year, IBM bested its own record with 50 qubits, and by 2018, Google had unveiled a chip with 72.9,10 In concert with these advances, Microsoft, Rigetti Computing, 1QBit, and other leaders in quantum research are increasingly 2121 TECHNOLOGY VISION 2019 THE POST-DIGITAL ERA IS UPON US
