All industries will see an AI boost including education and social services.

In many cases, AI will augment human labor and in manufacturing the technology will boost returns by improving reliability and eliminating downtime.

Accenture's blueprint for implementing AI includes adoption by the C-suite, adding AI executives in supply chain and HR, transparency, crowd-sourcing, going beyond automation and measuring returns on algorithms.
