As Gen AI’s increasing demands strain IT resources, decision-makers are racing to acquire the expertise required to mitigate the potential long-term impact on their organization’s overall infrastructure.
According to a report published by Console Join, a platform that connects community providers, 69% of IT decision-makers stated that their existing infrastructure was not equipped to fully utilize Gen AI capabilities. According to a recent report, an overwhelming majority of 76% of 1,000 CTOs and senior IT leaders from Singapore, Australia, Hong Kong, the UK, and the US believed that neglecting cybersecurity expertise might have far-reaching implications for their long-term IT infrastructure planning.
Despite any initial reservations, a notable 76% reported that their IT departments had successfully integrated various tools and systems within their respective organizations.
A whopping 88% of respondents who recognized the need for expert assistance indicated their intention to take concrete steps in the near term to address this issue.
Seventy percent of respondents cited concerns over data security or potential information breaches as their primary issue with using Gen AI. The study further revealed that this percentage was significantly higher in Australia, reaching an astonishing 90%.
Across the board, respondents cited cybersecurity concerns and IT skills deficits as major hurdles to swift implementation, with 41% naming cybersecurity risks as a significant obstacle, while 39% pointed to the scarcity of IT expertise.
Respondents overwhelmingly agreed that the fervour surrounding Gen AI will have lasting implications for their peer group’s technical infrastructure strategy, with a staggering 82% of those in the Asian market expressing this concern.
While 81 percent of respondents in Singapore felt that their community infrastructure lacked the capacity to fully harness the capabilities of generative artificial intelligence (Gen AI), a notable 89 percent had already integrated it into their strategic plans. As many as 80% of respondents reported that their IT departments faced mounting pressure to implement Gen AI solutions within their organization.
“As General Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI) rapidly advances, a pressing requirement emerges on networks that was previously untested.”
According to a survey by SAS, 1,600 decision-makers identified a lack of readability in Gen AI technology as the top challenge for early adopters of this expertise? According to a recent report, nearly 9 out of every 10 respondents admitted that they did not have a full understanding of General Artificial Intelligence’s impact on business processes.
While 75% of organizations deploying Gen AI reported concerns regarding data privacy, an identical proportion was wary of safeguarding sensitive information. Only 5% of respondents reported implementing a reliable system to monitor bias and privacy risks in large language models, according to the SAS study found. Despite this challenge, a significant majority – 75% of respondents – confirmed that their organization has allocated budget for Gen AI in the upcoming fiscal year.
