Description
Data collected in the most recent iteration of the Hyperion Research Global End-User Multi-Client Study indicates a strikingly low usage of AI-specific software licenses across all sectors, especially academia and government. This research revealed that only 3.5% of academic and government respondents, combined, were currently using licensed AI software, while the entire survey group exhibited a usage rate of 13.8%. Respondents representing academic sites were the least likely to answer positively in paying for AI software licenses, with a rate of 1.9%, and industry were the most likely at 21.1%. This data indicates an overwhelming preference for open source and in-house solutions for AI software, including training analytics and library interface tools, over proprietary AI[1]specific software offerings currently on the market.
