Chasing the AI dragon? Your IT might be circling the drain, IBM warns
Dan Robinson
Quote:IBM reports that fewer than half of the respondents believe their IT organization is effective in delivering basic services, compared to 69 percent from a survey in 2013. Among chief execs, that figure is 36 percent today, down from 64 percent previously, while for chief financial officers, the figures are 50 percent now, down from 60 percent before.
What might be causing this? The Armonk-based biz says that 43 percent of surveyed tech CxOs indicated that concerns about their IT infrastructure have increased over the past six months due to the focus on optimizing their infrastructure for generative AI.
The report highlights a disconnect between CEOs and the IT department, with three quarters of the former believing that their organization's digital infrastructure is ready to scale and "deliver value." However, only 16 percent of tech execs say they're confident their current cloud and data processing capabilities are ready to support generative AI, given the enormous demands it places on infrastructure, particularly during training
Good to see people talking about real practical implementation issues, as there's just too much hype out there right now.
