A survey by Gartner has found that 80% of executives think automation can be applied to any business decision.
The survey was conducted online from October through December 2021 among 699 respondents in the US, Germany and the U.K., at organisations that have deployed AI or intend to deploy AI within three years. Forty percent of organisations surveyed indicated that they have thousands of AI models deployed. This creates governance complexity for the organisation, further challenging data and analytics leaders’ ability to demonstrate return on investment from each model.
Security and privacy concerns were not ranked as a top barrier to AI adoption, cited by just 3% of executives surveyed. Yet, 41% of organisations reported they have previously had a known AI privacy breach or security incident.
