GenAI: Ready or Not, Here We Come!
Although nearly 80% of the 900 global executives surveyed had a
high or significant level of trust that GenAI could be leveraged
for their company’s future offerings and operations, more work is
to be done. Eighty-six percent of respondents agree more governance
is needed to ensure the quality and integrity of GenAI insights,
and 66% also expressed concerns around GenAI’s potential for bias
and disinformation.
Also in question is the growing skills gap around GenAI, with
just 30% saying they are extremely prepared or ready to leverage
GenAI today, and only 42% completely agreeing they will have the
skills in place to implement GenAI in 6 to 12 months. Nonetheless,
the pressure to implement is mounting, with 56% confirming they are
under “high” or “significant” pressure to leverage GenAI within
their organization in the next 6 to 12 months.
Moreover, while 89% of those surveyed said they understand
GenAI’s merits and potential, not all are convinced it will remain
the darling of public opinion it is today: Surprisingly, 57%
believe interest in GenAI will fade with time.
Doing the Right Things
The survey also explored concerns around data privacy and
ethics, particularly with ChatGPT becoming a near-overnight
phenomenon. Across the globe, companies said data ethics and the
responsible use of data was paramount (92% of respondents) and 97%
said they were intimately familiar with data ethics and the
responsible use of data within their own organizations. Nearly 9 in
10 respondents confirmed they have a formal ethical data resource
or board in place.
The survey also showed companies are becoming digitally mature,
with 54% saying the information flow within their organizations is
either very unconstrained or highly unconstrained and free
flowing.
- 49% said their companies do a better than average job and 33%
said they perform at an expert level of creating value from the
data available within their organizations.
IT Complexity is on the Rise
The survey also revealed the extent to which executives say
their organizations have been impacted by major corporate changes
over the last two years. Those polled noted their companies have
seen a new or significantly increased focus on economic challenges
and geopolitical changes/supply chain disruptions/wars/inflation
(47% said this is true); a growing influx in work-from-home and
hybrid work (47% noted this is true); and an increased focus on
environmental/social and corporate governance (53% said this is
true).
With these additional pressures in place, it may not be
surprising that nearly 70% of the respondents noted data complexity
in their organization had increased, with 20% saying they have felt
“significantly more complexity” in the last 24 months.
- 85% said the complexity will remain constant or increase in the
next two years
- 20% remain convinced data problems will become significantly
more complex.
