More about the article

This paper investigates factors affecting adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in Danish service organizations. Artificial intelligence and robot technologies have been used for decades in manufacturing companies, however these types of technologies are only recently entering the service sector. Given the exploratory nature of the study, to get an overall picture we conducted eleven expert interviews with representatives from both the public and private service sector involved with AI adoption. The results show that a number of drivers and barriers affect AI adoption in the service sector. Barriers may be more specific to the sector investigated, while drivers are of more general nature.
