Keeping up with HypeAI
As the hype around artificial intelligence (AI) reaches a fever pitch, it is also interesting to see how much more aware business users have become of its implementation. Yes, 90% of organizations plan to implement AI initiatives in the next 24 months, but few intend to do so quickly. In fact, 61% of IT professionals believe that AI is outpacing their organization’s ability to protect against threats, and 25% of organizations have already experienced AI-generated attacks, the survey says.
Not only that, but when asked how AI will impact their daily work, 22% say the impact of AI will be much smaller than they thought it would be. 34% say the potential impact is moving slower than they thought, while 23% say it’s even faster than they expected. While it’s hard to draw too many conclusions from these data points, they do suggest that the reality behind the hype is starting to creep in across the tech industry – perhaps the ability to create deepfake videos isn’t such a big business to be in?
Everything is changing, it keeps changing
One of the key takeaways from the report is change. We’re using more devices, more platforms, and more services than ever before. Shadow IT is a growing problem, while the trend toward MSPs is intensifying. Business leaders want good systems to help them manage increasingly complex stacks, and the old war between current technology and incoming change is being lost, one major Mac deployment at a time.
