70、 on investment,with 69 percent saying this will take more than three years after implementation.While there is incredible potential for generative AI in asset management,the technology is at an early stage and as a result strong governance is very important.Organizations need to have a strategy and
71、a governance framework for its use and ensure it is discussed at board level.KPMGs research shows that asset management leaders are keen to explore the opportunities that generative AI offers but rightly have concerns about its implementation.This still-developing technology relies on the data it us
