Economic feasibility analyses for AI are particularly important in the areas of Artificial Intelligence, Digital Transformation, and Industry and Factory 4.0. They help companies to determine whether the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is financially worthwhile.
A business case analysis for AI examines the costs incurred through the implementation and use of AI, as well as the benefits that can be achieved, such as savings or increased revenue. This includes comparing investments, ongoing costs, and expected benefits. The aim is to make an informed decision about whether an AI project is truly worthwhile.
A simple example: a manufacturer is considering introducing AI-powered quality control in production. The analysis considers the procurement costs for the software, employee training, and ongoing maintenance. This is offset by savings from fewer production errors and faster processes. In the end, the cost-benefit analysis shows whether and when this investment will pay off.
Economic viability analyses for AI therefore ensure that companies realistically assess opportunities and risks, and only deploy AI where added value is clearly demonstrable.
