3、Executives view this technology as the next industrial revolution,poised to build on digital and cloud investments to transform business models,drive new AI products and services,and shape the new economy.Beyond developing AI-based products and services,it is evident that AI will become a general-pu

8、lture and leadership mindset influence AI adoption.Our major findings are outlined below to help leaders understand the challenges of achieving enterprise AI and consider how to apply these insights in their business context.Executives are confident about AI.However,Infosys research indicates that t
9、hey believe enterprise AI is three to five years from becoming a reality.Despite this experimentation and optimism,executives are not certain their companies will achieve all that AI promises.Additionally,many leaders worry about the many risks AI poses to their company and to their careers.Gaps in
10、AI readiness fuel apprehension Underscoring the unease surrounding this hyped yet promising field,most companies lack the required foundational building blocks.We found that only 2%are ready across the five readiness dimensions we identify.However,companies show readiness in some individual areas:ta
11、lent(35%are ready),strategy(23%),governance(21%),data(17%),and technology(9%).From apprehension to adoption To capture the mix of optimism and hesitation about enterprise AI,we classified leaders into four behavioral groups based on the intersection of company culture and leadership mindset:Ambitiou
12、s Innovators,Cautious Explorers,Frustrated Mavericks,and Worried Conformists.By establishing a foundational framework and making the case for AI tailored to each company,leaders can reduce organizational friction and influence how their company approaches AI.Steps to AI readiness Enterprise AI is th

15、e experimented with artificial intelligence(AI)since at least the early 2000s,the launch of generative AI in 2023 proved the watershed that focused leaders on AIs potential.As we found in our Generative AI Radar reports,companies are experimenting with use cases to understand how the technology migh
16、t benefit their businesses.Of the executives we interviewed for this research,most(80%)now expect a productivity boost from current AI projects(Figure 1).In fact,some believe that productivity benefits from current projects will be significant(as much as 30%to 40%for some respondents).On average,our
17、 respondents expected a 15%increase.Figure 1.AI set to boost productivitySource:Infosys Knowledge Institute?Enterprise AI Readiness RadarExternal Document 2024 Infosys Limited Knowledge Institute7?“I think the productivity boost from AI will be around 35%to 40%,because many companies are just prepar
18、ing the ground and are in the nascent stages of AI,”says Atul Srivastava,chief information officer at Trident Global,an e-commerce,retail,and manufacturing company.Our study also found that companies are beginning to measure AIs value delivery(return on investment;ROI),with almost half(47%)consideri
19、ng it the primary metric for AI success.Other metrics include how quickly and how many AI projects are delivered(Figure 2).Figure 2.How AI projects are measuredBumpy road to enterprise AISource:Infosys Knowledge InstituteThe executives we spoke to share a common conceptual understanding of enterpris

23、 equity research at Goldman Sachs,Jim Covello,suggests that the financial risks from AI are different from those during the dotcom boom because the cost of AI is higher and the long-term benefits and ROI are more unclear.“The idea that the transformative potential of the internet and smartphones was
24、nt understood early on is false.The roadmap on what those technologies would eventually be able to do also existed at their inception.No comparable roadmap exists today”,he says.Our interviewees shared this apprehension:Even executives who are the most optimistic and eager to implement AI are concer
25、ned about the uncertain road ahead.Together,these risks and institutional battle scars from digital transformation make many executives wary of putting their company or their career at risk to push an AI agenda.As one tech leader in the UK explains:“Im championing AI;I want to make sure its successf
26、ul,and sometimes investment in tech doesnt translate in positive impact,so I have to be careful because Im associating my credibility with it.”However,most respondents say AI is in its infancy,and believe their company is between three and five years from enterprise AI being a reality.Figure 3.Defin

32、from AI practitioners and executives at Infosys and other companies,we developed a framework that simplifies and deconstructs Enterprise AI Readiness RadarExternal Document 2024 Infosys Limited Knowledge Institute11?areas for companies to build foundations for enterprise AI success.This framework id

37、bility,define clear use cases with target customers,and ensure sign-off with a governance council or similar.In our study,we found that only 15%of respondents were confident that their AI projects have these elements in place(Figure5).An AI strategy that includes these elements ensures that use case
38、s are desirable,feasible,and viable before they are initiated.Because the hype surrounding AI makes it difficult to separate valuable opportunities from unrealistic promises,it is difficult to quantify the potential impact of use cases and justify AI investments.The approach we propose here strength
39、ens the case for AI investment and builds consensus and transparency across units.Figure 5.Strategic AI readiness is lackingFigure 6.Confidence in governance is lowSource:Infosys Knowledge InstituteSource:Infosys Knowledge InstituteGovernance This dimension measures how well companies define governa

41、ity threats,user privacy violations,and unauthorized access.We found that only about 10%of respondents are confident that governance processes are well-defined,and similarly,only 10%are confident in their companys ability to protect against security and privacy risks(Figure 6).AI in the enterprise h

53、2%?11%?31%?40%?17%Figure 10.Foundational preparedness Source:Infosys Knowledge InstituteSource:Infosys Knowledge InstituteTechnologyOur research showed the biggest gaps are evident in the technology dimension of enterprise AI readiness.We found that only 9%were ready on this dimension,which includes
54、 access to critical AI capabilities such as machine learning frameworks,prebuilt algorithms,and dynamic compute,along with automation within software development teams.We evaluated four foundational technology capabilities:Dynamically provisioned infrastructure and compute.Security and rights manage
55、ment.Flexible infrastructure for open-and closed-source AI models Integration with AI frameworks.Only 2%had all four of these capabilities,but more than half had either none(17%)or one(40%)(Figure 10).Further,we found that most companies(62%)AI development processes are only partly automated,and 25%
56、indicate they are mostly manual(Figure 11).Automation relegates repetitive tasks to software,which means a better experience for customers,reduced error rates,and improved compliance.While getting the other dimensions in place is vital,a poor technology and engineering shop limits the speed and scal
57、e of AI projects.AT&T is an example of a company that puts this excellence at the heart of its operating model.Software engineers,data scientists,and thousands of citizen developers build enterprise applications as the telecoms company becomes AI-first.With technology a key pillar of its AI strategy
58、,AT&T combines AI and a platform engineering approach to software development to optimize its networks,upgrade legacy software,and enhance contact centers.The company also uses generative AI to upskill employees around the three pillars of human-centricity,responsible AI,and secure/ethical by design

60、with 30 executives in the US and UK to understand the needs,motivations,emotions,and tensions about enterprise AI.Companies were classified into four behavioral groups(or archetypes)based on corporate culture and leader mindset(Figure 12).Half of the executives interviewed were Cautious Explorers,le

67、 Limited Knowledge Institute18THE CASE FOR ENTERPRISE AI READINESSExpectations for AI are high,but executives believe they are years away from achieving enterprise AI,our research found.Regardless of their pursuit of AI projects,companies do not have the foundational building blocks in place across
68、strategy,governance,talent,data,and technology.Yet they must forge ahead.Even those apprehensive about AI believe their companies will move to enterprise AI eventually and they need to be on board.In the words of a banking industry CIO:“I need to be able to adapt otherwise Ill become obsolete.I need
69、 to do it.”Enterprise AI Readiness RadarExternal Document 2024 Infosys Limited Knowledge Institute19This plays out at the enterprise level as well:“Big tech companies have no choice but to engage in the AI arms race right now given the hype around the space and FOMO,”says Jim Covello of Goldman Sach
70、s.Our research on generative AI over the past year shows that even smaller companies,including those with revenues of only$500 million,are in the same situation and so are experimenting with AI and ramping up investments.A recent article in Harvard Business Review argued that“palpable fear of missin
71、g out”spurred companies to explore generative AI,but companies are struggling to realize cost and efficiency benefits.In the face of uncertainty,companies should establish an AI readiness framework as discussed in this research.This means when they decide to press ahead with specific AI projects,the
72、y can be confident in their AI strategy,governance,talent,technology,and data.Our research also sheds light on the complexity of the cultural dimension of AI readiness.Specifically,executive mindsets about AI dont always match company culture,which impacts progress on AI.For instance,in the case of
73、Cautious Explorers,the company may push to implement AI,but tech leaders often want to move slower.We believe that a strong foundation for AI readiness,as outlined in this report,will provide leaders the confidence to move forward,aligned in working to transform the enterprise.Companies ready for en
74、terprise AI will differentiate themselves in this new business era,which is defined by innovation,uncertainty,and disruption.It is also defined by a degree of delayed gratification.While leaders take the time to identify AI technologies and projects to adopt in pursuit of productivity gains and ROI,
75、the business must press on to establish readiness building blocks,and lay a firm foundation for enterprise AI.Enterprise AI Readiness RadarExternal Document 2024 Infosys Limited Knowledge Institute20FROM APPREHENSION TO ADOPTIONWe found that most companies are not ready for enterprise AI because the
76、y do not have the foundational building blocks in place.They believe enterprise AI is three to five years from being a reality at their company.But by putting the work in now,they can ensure they dont become tomorrows laggards.Companies face a duality of significant risk and reward as they adopt AI,
77、as well as uncertainty about how it will impact all aspects of their enterprise,from the workplace to R&D to their workforce talent mix.In addition to building the case for AI fitted to company culture and leadership,companies need to close gaps in the five dimensions of our framework:strategy,gover
78、nance,talent,data,and technology.Five specific steps will reduce apprehension about AI,close gaps,and garner more benefits from AI.Embedding these practices will help companies join the 2%of their peers that demonstrate readiness across all five dimensions.1.Develop a comprehensive AI strategy.2.Est
79、ablish responsible AI governance.3.Upskill and build the workforce.4.Prepare data infrastructure for AI.5.Nurture a culture of tech-powered innovation.Enterprise AI Readiness RadarExternal Document 2024 Infosys Limited Knowledge Institute21?A comprehensive AI strategyCompanies should create a clear
80、AI strategy that aligns with their business objectives and outlines how AI can drive value.This strategy should encompass technology investments,talent acquisition,and ethical considerations.Our previous research found that an effective AI strategy can add nearly$467 billion in profit growth collect
81、ively.And according to recent research,companies with a well-defined AI strategy achieve three times the revenue growth compared to peers.The importance of having an AI strategy cannot be overstated:“If youre a corporation and you dont have an AI strategy,you dont have a strategy,”says Mike Mayo,hea
82、d of Wells Fargos large-cap bank research.The primary challenge is ensuring alignment across diverse business units,which can be overcome by involving cross-functional teams in the strategy development process.Our research found that less than a quarter of companies positively rate the ability of IT
83、 and business teams to work together(Figure 13).Companies should create an AI value office,responsible for structure and to govern AIs impact on the modern data estate,emerging technology;generative AI experimentation;integrating AI into operations;and overseeing responsibility,regulations,culture,a
84、nd ethics.It uses value to prioritize investments and project greenlighting,with outcomes tied to reputational,legal,and compliance risks.“We use a strategic value framework to launch AI projects,”says Bradley Schaufenbuel,chief information security officer at Paychex,a human capital management comp
85、any.“It assesses AI projects for viability,feasibility,desirability,compliance,and governance.And it helps with the success of the implementation.”Figure 13.Business and IT collaborationSource:Infosys Knowledge InstituteEnterprise AI Readiness RadarExternal Document 2024 Infosys Limited Knowledge In
86、stitute22?Responsible AI governanceResponsible AI is not a monolithic approach,but a tailored set of guardrails based on industry and geographic regulatory considerations.Companies should create a centralized responsible AI team to safeguard technical,legal,ethical,and reputational risks.Indeed,our
87、research indicates that only 10%of companies establish governance that provides these guardrails(Figure 14).Governance guardrails for AI are vital in the data-driven landscape.Data models become secure as companies institute responsible-AI-by-design principles into their processes.Secure-by-design p
88、rinciples establish processes that reduce risks of hallucinations,bias,misuse of data,IP theft,inappropriate usage,and defamation.At Infosys,the Responsible AI Office is the custodian of AI governance and facilitates collaboration across functions.This office establishes and maintains a governance f
89、ramework and defines policies,procedures,and decision-making processes related to enterprise AI.While the office serves many functions,these can be grouped into the broad categories of scan,shield,and steer.Schaufenbuel describes the importance of this type of office:“In the long run,with help from
90、a governance office,we want to put every AI governance issue through an automated AI governance review.This would provide insights on bias and explainability issues.Wed love to build a real AI governance platform that assesses things like bias and explainability for all AI models used in our enterpr
91、ise,tracked that over time.At present,our mechanism is more like an approval gate,and we cannot go back to the model or track changes over time.”Figure 14.Preparedness of governanceSource:Infosys Knowledge InstituteEnterprise AI Readiness RadarExternal Document 2024 Infosys Limited Knowledge Institu

95、ases,and business and IT professionals will speak each others language:“A real skill gap in our organization is finding people that can translate geek-speak into business terminology this skillset is pretty hard to find,”according to one executive we spoke to.Our research found that only 12%of Forwa
96、rd-thinking companies are creating AI skill categories and providing learning paths to build these skills and ensure readiness.For example,Infosys has classified generative AI skills across a ladder of capabilities,starting with AI Aware(nearly all employees),AI Builder(larger number of practitioner
97、s),and AI Master(small number of specialists).companies are confident that they are providing employees with sufficient training opportunities.However,our recent research on technology,skill,and AI adoption trends showed signs that banking firms now rely more on upskilling than hiring or outsourcing
98、.Figure 15 shows that for key technologies such as machine learning,large language models,and cybersecurity,companies expect to close skills gaps through upskilling in the next six months.Our future research willexplore whether this trend is pervasive across industries.Enterprise AI Readiness RadarE
99、xternal Document 2024 Infosys Limited Knowledge Institute25Prepare data infrastructure Data quality and accessibility remain a perennial challenge for companies,and respondents rated it as the biggest barrier to AI success.The relationship between data quality and data infrastructure is key,and in t
100、he words of one of our interviewees,“Data is nothing more than an outcome of how your internal systems are arranged.”Companies should assess current systems,including hardware,applications,and integrations.Assessments should include whether hardware is fit to run an AI application,interoperability,a
101、nd infrastructure complexity.Part of this assessment also includes where data is stored it should all be brought together.To bring all data under management could require changing the data ecosystem.Preparing data infrastructure includes having systems to cleanse and then fingerprint data so it is t
102、ransparent,and companies know what is present where(in each piece of data)across data stores.Companies can use this fingerprint to establish data correlations and conduct governance activities.Additionally,companies must know how to handle structured and unstructured data,including traditional analy
103、tic data,transactional data,synthetic data,and data from the ecosystem,generated by users or machines.Only about one in 10 said it was easy to locate or access this data in their company,while 3%said they could both easily locate and access data(Figure 16).“We spent millions on master data managemen

105、team as well.”Figure 16.Locating and accessing dataSource:Infosys Knowledge Institute?Enterprise AI Readiness RadarExternal Document 2024 Infosys Limited Knowledge Institute26Tech-powered innovationOrganizational culture often lags behind process changes,such as the quick move to remote work in 2020
106、 and again now with the rapid implementation of AI.Culture,often defined as“the normative glue”that holds a company together,evolves through behaviors repeated over time that eventually come to be seen as“how we do things around here.”A culture of innovation is built through repeated experimentation
107、 with AI that values both failures and successes.Our research indicates that this culture is not yet present at most companies,as only 43%of respondents indicate that they have fully prepared their employees for AI.Further,only 21%of our respondents said that their employees have the requisite knowl

113、n Australia,France,Germany,New Zealand,the United Kingdom,and the United States during June and July 2024 to gauge the level of readiness for enterprise AI.The survey looked at 12 sectors:automotive;consumer packaged goods;energy,mining,or utilities;financial services;healthcare;high tech;insurance;
114、life sciences;logistics or supply chain;manufacturing;retail or hospitality;and telecommunications.To enrich insights,the research also included phone interviews with 40 industry practitioners,executives,and subject matter experts.We asked respondents about factors that indicate readiness for enterp
115、rise AI,the challenges they face in implementing AI,and what outcomes they expect from their AI projects.Many of the questions about readiness involved asking about sentiment.To mitigate individual bias in these responses,we compared each response to an individuals most common response across sentim
