The ROI of AI: Will It Deliver Real Value?

Another potential cost to AI is the very real possibility of increased regulation and compliance in the coming years. European firms, in particular, could see AI costs increase some €31 billion ($36 billion USD) over the next five years under proposed EU regulations, according to the Centre for Data Innovation, a Washington, D.C.-based technology advocacy organization. While some may question these numbers, there is little doubt that regulations are coming, and they will drive AI costs up to some extent.
