Element AI - Experts & Thought Leaders

Element AI, a developer of artificial intelligence-powered (AI) solutions and services, announces that it has published the AI Maturity Framework, which consists of a mapping tool and a whitepaper. The whitepaper provides in-depth insights on how organisations across all industries can become AI-ready faster and the tool helps organisations quickly map their AI-readiness. The tool and whitepaper address a knowledge gap in the AI industry, as few resources exist on how organisations can actually evolve their AI-readiness from theory to practice. AI Maturity Framework whitepaper Since 2019, the Element AI, AI Maturity Survey has collected data vital to informing the AI Maturity Framework whitepaper and tool. To date, the survey has collected insights from 200 senior decision-makers across multiple industries, primarily in North America, and determined that organisations are still struggling with their AI journeys. Key findings in the survey reveal: Fewer than one in ten organisations are mature enough to operationalise and scale AI production 79 percent of organisations surveyed haven’t graduated from experimenting with AI in a lab setting Only 14 percent of organisations surveyed are formalising their approach to deploying AI within their organisation Full integration of AI Few resources exist to help leaders plan and strengthen their foundations for industry-grade AI" “The progress and full integration of AI into most industries is uneven because implementing AI is as much about organisational factors as it is technical ones, and few resources exist to help leaders plan and strengthen their foundations for industry-grade AI,” said Karthik Ramakrishnan, Vice President, Head of AI Strategy and Enablement at Element AI. “We want the AI Maturity Framework tool and whitepaper to provide organisations around the world with a systematic perspective to help them chart and realise their AI journey.” While there are plenty of resources written with calls to invest in AI and the benefits of the technology, few exist on how organisations can take AI technology and develop a plan that is actionable and fits within an organisation’s culture. Organisational AI maturity The Element AI, AI Maturity Framework whitepaper provides insights into how the AI journey is unfolding in multiple industries, drawing from first-hand experience of the Element AI advisory and enablement practice. The whitepaper provides a deeper dive in understanding the nuances of the different stages and dimensions of AI-readiness, and provides industry benchmarks, case studies and practical tips/tactics on how to move to the next stage of AI integration. “This tool and whitepaper offers prescriptive advice on how companies can align the five dimensions of organisational AI maturity: strategy, data, technology, people and governance. All organisations can benefit, no matter where they are on their AI journey and regardless of whether they’re buying AI solutions off the shelf, building them from scratch, or something in between,” continued Ramakrishnan.

Element AI, a global developer of AI-powered services and software that helps enterprises operationalise AI, announced the general availability of its Access Governor product, the addition to the company’s growing portfolio of AI software solutions. Drawing on the end-user’s historical data, Access Governor analyses, recommends and manages the most appropriate information and location access rights for large groups of employees, so they can efficiently complete their jobs. The product allows the IT team to quickly authorise or revoke employee access and accounts, creating a safer, more orderly organisation. Access Governor is available now through the Element AI sales group. For years, businesses have struggled with regulating digital access control to data and facilities, especially businesses with high numbers of employees and external contractors. Quick access to critical information With the introduction of AI into the equation, the process is sped up so that this balance is easier to reach" Element AI has taken its applied research capabilities to create a software that will analyse and manage role-based access control for multiple ‘digital keychains’ with predictive pre-assembly and activation/revocation intelligence that can quickly facilitate access to the critical information and assets of any company. “For many companies, managing access to both information, IT platforms, and physical spaces is essential to running a safe, efficient, and profitable business,” says Anand Medepalli, Head of Products at Element AI. “We developed Access Governor understanding that granting access is a balancing act between quickly providing access to ensure productivity while also taking the time to manage risks. With the introduction of AI into the equation, the process is sped up so that this balance is easier to reach, while simultaneously empowering the collaboration required between IT and various business units.” While role-based access control systems have existed for a long time, rules and protocols had to be configured. This is a slow and inefficient process, with no intuition on the part of the access control layer. Many businesses end up having to manually configure and reconfigure rules each time there is a reorganisation of employees or changes in the applications used. Access Governor brings in an additional layer of intelligence built on top of this process that looks at past patterns and current trends to empower any IT team to quickly adapt to employee additions, departures and changing contractor access rights.
