“In the first half of 2023" stated Mario Rizzante, Chairman of Reply "we have experienced a positive trend, both in terms of revenue and profitability. During these months, we have witnessed a continuous surge in companies' investments, with a strong focus on two primary directions of innovation: artificial intelligence and cloud computing."
"In particular, the revolution triggered by the introduction of artificial intelligence," continued Mario Rizzante, "is just beginning its path of disruptive growth. The entrance of AI into our lives is reminiscent of the profound impact the web had in the 1990s. Today, we unmistakably perceive the signs of a transformation that will be epoch-making, yet we struggle to fully fathom its ultimate implications."
"What lies ahead in the coming years," Mario Rizzante emphasized, "will be incredible. Similar to how the Internet has seamlessly integrated into every aspect of our lives, AI is assuming an increasingly central role in shaping our future. The technologies are available, and any company can use them; the key lies in understanding how to apply them to one's own business. What is needed is a change in the way of working, that is based on a process of continuous learning and innovation. That's why, as Reply, in addition to having launched dedicated competence groups in all companies of the group, we have already established about ten companies working on AI, each focusing vertically on specific industries.
