AI - A Pressing Need?

This morning, we discussed whether a problem or crisis would be necessary in order to utilize artificial intelligence. I find that many people would believe this to be the case, but in my opinion, I think that a "need" is a sufficient enough reason to implement and utilize artificial intelligence. A company can certainly benefit from using AI to make its operations more efficient, even if they are already successful and fully functioning without problem. In my studies in entrepreneurship it is repeatedly said that entrepreneurs are those who either find a solution to a problem, or solve an industry need in advance. This is in line with artificial intelligence, as both cases can apply to either solving a crisis, or simply solving a perceived need in advance.
