Did the AI revolution start without you? Is it because of your data isn't AI ready? You're not alone and it’s not too late.   A recent Harvard Business Review survey, cosponsored by Microsoft and our partners at Profisee, sheds light on the current state of data readiness for AI: 91% of respondents agree that a reliable data foundation is essential for successful AI adoption. Yet only 55% believe their organization’s data foundation is currently reliable.   Half of those surveyed report difficulty integrating diverse data sources into a unified format. This report underscores the urgency for investing in a reliable data foundation and provides best practices to address data challenges.

A recent study by Economist Impact, sponsored by Databricks, reveals critical insights into AI adoption: ▶ 85% of global enterprises are using or testing generative AI (GenAI). ▶ Yet, only 22% feel confident their IT infrastructure can support future AI applications. ▶ 40% of organizations acknowledge their data and AI governance is insufficient. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eFZDQrT8 Despite growing investment in AI (expected to reach $1 trillion globally in a few years), many enterprises face hurdles like governance, cost, and quality that hinder scalable and transformational AI solutions.

Many CIOs are not ready for AI yet From Forbes' CIO latest C-Suite CIO: According to a new study from AI platform optimization provider Riverbed (link @ the end for free download), 94% of C-suites make AI a key focus, with adoption being led from the top. But just 37% say they are actually ready to implement AI now. Organizations say they will be ready in the near future—86% expect to be fully prepared to implement AI projects in three years. The big issue standing in the way of successful enterprise AI platforms is likely data. Nearly one in four AI projects are underperforming company expectations, and Riverbed suspects that is a data issue. After all, 85% say that good data is vital to quality AI, but about half of that number said a lack of high-quality internal data will keep them from investing more in AI. Companies’ view of their own data is especially low in the financial services industry, where only 36% said their data is excellent when it comes to quality and completeness, and 34% feel that way about its accuracy and integrity. These results show it’s time for IT departments to build data readiness into their AI plans. Data needs to be accurate, available, and in a format that yields insights. Companies are loath to use sample data in order to build a working system, with 86% wanting to concentrate on their actual data. Riverbed found that high performers in AI—those already successfully using the technology for tasks like improving the digital employee experience—are much more likely to have their data in working order. #AI #CIO #Data #DataQuality #Riverbed https://lnkd.in/eRSWRF3z
