Abstract
Rapid changes in the business environment require adopting new technologies to maintain the pace of change and improve business results. This can be achieved through the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI). Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) often face challenges regarding AI adoption. However, SMEs are often marginalized in research. For us as a regional AI lab, it is important to understand the challenges of regional SMEs to better help them adopt AI. Therefore, an expert study was conducted. Six categories of challenges were identified. The most frequently identified category was “lack of experience”. The study shows practitioners need clear guidelines and a safe testing environment to implement AI projects.
