Companies with more than US$200 million in annual revenue were more likely to be using AI in areas like customer support, cybersecurity and data analytics than firms with sales between US$5 million and US$200 million, according to a survey commissioned by Toronto-based investment firm Georgian.

Talking point: Growth-stage companies may be adopting fewer AI tools than enterprise firms, but they’re typically getting better returns. For example, growth-stage R&D leaders in the survey were more likely than technical executives at bigger businesses to say that programming assistants and other developer tools are helping them speed up development and produce better code.  “AI may be driving more immediate productivity gains in smaller, more agile R&D environments,” the study said.
