Overview

When it comes to maximizing the value of artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) initiatives, IDC's Future Enterprise and Spending Survey (Wave 2, March, 2023) identified “Issues of data availability and data quality” as the #1 challenge — cited by 29% of respondents worldwide.

Successfully balancing innovation and governance in the context of new industry and tech regulations is a daunting challenge. As tools and platforms become more accessible to all employees, finding the right balance requires ethical data practices, robust security measures, and collaboration among stakeholders. Demand for big data and analytics software continues to be driven by the need to support, augment, and automate decision making.

As the data market remains highly competitive and resilient in a slowing economic environment, organizations must unlock the true potential of data and analytics while building a foundation of trust and compliance in the digital era.

9:35	AI Everywhere: Synergies for a Future of Responsible Growth and Innovation
	With the rise of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI), businesses across the world stand at a pivotal crossroads. Never before has a technology so rapidly garnered unanimous support from business leaders, redefining the very concept of innovation and value creation. GenAI, with its ability to generate content, optimize processes, and stimulate innovation, is pushing organizations toward a future where creativity and efficiency coexist, paving new paths to success. However, in an era where intelligence becomes increasingly accessible, both private and public organizations must act promptly to outline a comprehensive AI strategy to ensure the creation of sustainable and long-lasting business value. This requires new operational business models supported by a strong data infrastructure and solid ethical governance. To fully embrace the AI-Everywhere era, leaders must carefully orchestrate the integration of business technologies, being mindful of the factors that drive value and potential risks, creating synergies that drive innovation and promote sustainable growth.
