Artificial intelligence (AI) can be useful for those who want to start their own business. This opinion was expressed by more than 60% of respondents in a survey conducted by Sber and the Rambler&Co media holding.

Another 21% of respondents believe that neural networks help to come up with an idea and test its viability. The same number of respondents stated that AI simplifies work with documents — one can clarify information about taxation and starting a business.

Neural networks also solve practical problems. For example, 11% of survey participants believe that they can be used to write application or program code, 9% — to create initial texts, a name, a logo, or a project page.

Researchers asked respondents to evaluate the idea of creating a small project with the help of AI, while maintaining their main job. 28% of them called it a good way to test a business hypothesis without much risk.

At the same time, 15% of respondents believe that experts should still be involved in the project. And 42% are convinced — AI cannot replace entrepreneurial experience and understanding of the real market.

The survey was conducted on Rambler&Co websites, with 2 thousand people participating. Of these, 26% regularly use neural networks for work tasks, 37% hardly use AI tools.
