Atlanta Georgia is known for its peaches—sweet, resilient, and deeply woven into the state’s identity. But if you look a little closer, you’ll find that peaches and the Data & AI industry have more in common than you might think. Just like a perfectly ripened peach, AI and data-driven innovation require the right conditions, timing, and adoption to thrive.

So, let’s take a bite into the numbers and explore how Georgia’s most famous fruit mirrors the growth of AI and data leadership.

38%: A Slice of the Future

Did you know that 38% of people in Atlanta say peach pie is their favorite dessert? That’s a strong vote for a timeless classic. Similarly, 38% of data leaders report actively integrating AI into their organizations, transforming the way businesses operate. AI isn’t just a trend—it’s becoming a staple on the executive menu, just like peach pie at a Georgia summer cookout.

67%: The Ripening of AI Adoption

Farmers know that 67% of Georgia’s peach crops reach peak ripeness in mid-summer, requiring careful planning and nurturing. The same can be said for AI adoption—67% of enterprises are accelerating AI strategies to enhance efficiency and decision-making. Just as farmers leverage the best growing techniques to produce the juiciest peaches, data executives must harness AI responsibly to yield the best business outcomes.
