Firstly, it reduces labor costs by empowering employees with intelligent tools, allowing employees to focus on more creative and strategic work, and improving organizational value; secondly, AI optimizes decision-making processes and enhance operational efficiency when integrated as the new strategic framework; finally it sparks innovation opportunities by leveraging data insight more flexibly to changing markets and emerging models.
