Dive Brief:
- In the wake of a cross-industry generative AI implementation push, one-quarter of IT leaders regret investing in AI so quickly, according to an Asana survey published Monday.
- Great power brings great responsibility. As AI enthusiasm peaked over the last six months, nearly two-thirds of IT leaders say their department has gained influence, according to the survey of more than 1,200 U.S. and U.K.-based IT pros.
- Almost 3 in 4 IT pros have felt stressed over the past six months because of the pressure to implement AI.
Dive Insight:
CEOs are directing CIOs and IT leaders to support the AI playbook, from selecting solutions to monitoring tools after they’ve been deployed.
As the dust settles from a period of fast experimentation, CIOs have to take stock of what’s working and what isn’t. But quick generative AI adoption comes with its challenges.
By 2028, more than half of enterprises building custom large language models today will abandon initiatives due to costs, complexity and technical debt, according to Gartner research published last week.
The pace of innovation also means even enterprises that lean on vendor solutions can run into tech debt if they fail to create the proper architecture.
Impending regulation and court decisions will also likely impact enterprise progress toward AI aspirations.
