00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:10.640
Every organisation is
at a different point

2
00:00:10.640 --> 00:00:12.080
in its AI journey.

3
00:00:12.200 --> 00:00:14.600
Many are asking
the same question:

4
00:00:14.600 --> 00:00:17.960
how do we turn investment
into measurable results?

5
00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:20.080
According to PwC's research,

6
00:00:20.080 --> 00:00:23.920
the top performers invest
more than double the amount in AI

7
00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:27.000
as a share of revenue when you
compare them to their peers.

8
00:00:27.360 --> 00:00:30.160
Companies capturing the most ROI

9
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:32.880
and not just spending more on AI,

10
00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:35.000
they're running it like
a business discipline.

11
00:00:35.160 --> 00:00:38.240
They're setting priority use cases
and then tying them

12
00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:40.440
to revenue, margin, and risk.

13
00:00:40.720 --> 00:00:43.240
They're selective about where they scale,

14
00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:47.160
and they move capital to initiatives
that are delivering results.

15
00:00:47.160 --> 00:00:50.960
Top performers are 1.3 times
as likely as their peers

16
00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:55.080
to reallocate funding and resources
as their priorities change.

17
00:00:55.400 --> 00:00:58.720
And critically,
the most effective organisations

18
00:00:58.720 --> 00:01:03.200
fund AI projects that are directly tied
to business objectives:

19
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:06.480
so not just cost savings
but revenue growth,

20
00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:09.080
risk management, and client impacts.

21
00:01:09.240 --> 00:01:14.040
AI investment has to support quality,
compliance, and new services.

22
00:01:14.520 --> 00:01:18.880
Tax strategy shapes
how and where value is created.

23
00:01:18.880 --> 00:01:22.040
It should be built into
AI investment from the start.

24
00:01:22.240 --> 00:01:26.520
Many jurisdictions offer research
and development credits, incentives,

25
00:01:26.520 --> 00:01:30.040
or capital allowances for tech development
and deployment.

26
00:01:30.440 --> 00:01:34.320
So structuring AI programs
to qualify for one of these benefits

27
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:37.840
can really lower the net cost
and improve returns.

28
00:01:38.240 --> 00:01:43.240
Decisions such as where to locate people,
data, and intellectual property

29
00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:46.320
should really take tax into account

30
00:01:46.320 --> 00:01:49.840
and consider how to
protect margin and reduce risk.

31
00:01:50.120 --> 00:01:55.120
So, how can your organisation turn
AI investment into measurable results?

32
00:01:55.880 --> 00:02:00.400
By setting clear priorities,
establishing the right operating model,

33
00:02:00.720 --> 00:02:05.280
and aligning across technology,
finance, tax, and legal.

34
00:02:05.520 --> 00:02:09.880
These foundations have the power
to transform ambition into outcomes

35
00:02:09.880 --> 00:02:14.040
in a way that's commercially sound
and globally coordinated.
