In practice, however, there is a noticeable gap between the technology\u2019s potential and its actual use. The majority of small and medium-sized businesses are still experimenting; only a few have taken the step toward systematically implementing AI.    <br>Yet small and medium-sized businesses are particularly well-positioned: they have short decision-making paths, in-depth process knowledge, and the agility to implement new technologies in a pragmatic way. What\u2019s often missing isn\u2019t the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ventum-consulting.com\/en\/news\/calculate-and-maximize-the-roi-of-ai-projects\/\">budget<\/a> or the technology\u2014but a clear plan
