INDUSTRY AI TRANSFORMATION COMPARISON

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

BANKING RETAIL
─────── ──────
Overall AI Score 0.28 0.31

Constraints

  1. Data Freshness: AI applicability scores based on Microsoft Research study (2025); capabilities evolve
  2. Enterprise Context: Scores assume enterprise-grade AI tools; adjust +10-15% vs consumer tools
  3. Physical Work: Scores don't apply to physical labor; flag warehouse/manufacturing roles
  4. Ethical Framing: Always frame as augmentation, not replacement; emphasize capacity gain
