【英文】世界经济论坛报告：全球灯塔网络：加速人工智能大规模应用（42页）

Each of the frst three industrial revolutions  had a defning breakthrough: steam-powered  mechanization, electricity-powered mass production  and computer-powered automation. It is now  clear that machine intelligence, powered by  unprecedented access to terabytes of data, defnes  the Fourth. With newfound capabilities to automate  and optimize critical trade-off decisions, AI is rising  into the role of conductor, orchestrating an ensemble  of Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies to a  symphony of unprecedented results.  Five years into the Global Lighthouse Network,  more than 700 proven Fourth Industrial Revolution  use cases – 200 of which involve advanced AI  techniques – prove Lighthouses are past pilots.  The new focus is tackling the “Scaling Slump”, the  natural adoption slowdown beyond the learning  curve’s “false peak”, when some companies balk  at the potential costs of replicating single-site  approaches across entire networks.  Lighthouses, though, are pushing through. Some  82% are focused on designing for scale from day  one, with immediate aspirations for dozens, even  hundreds, of implementations. They are treating  entire factories, not individual use cases, as the new  “pilot”, seeking tenfold the transformation impact  and nearly double the return on investment of  single-site approaches.
