A Preliminary Report on a Model for Maturing AI Adoption: From Hype to Achieving Repeatable, Predictable Outcomes

This document introduces the key concepts of the model, which will provide organizational leaders with guidance on overcoming the challenges that arise as they try to realize the promise of AI. The model allows organizations to measure the degree to which key practices are implemented and governed for adapting and delivering AI solutions that meet business needs with predictable outcomes. The goal of the model is to drive the creation of a roadmap based on an assessment for successful AI adoption. The AI Adoption Maturity Model is being created with a thorough research and development effort, including executive interviews, a systematic review of over a hundred existing AI maturity efforts, pilots of AI projects, an ongoing survey to collect industry experiences, the SEI’s extensive expertise in maturity modeling, and Accenture’s hands-on experience worldwide with AI implementation.
