FWSIM Program - The Future of AI: Shaping a Strategy for Value Creation Event Image

Join GFT Technologies for an interactive discussion about the key dynamics shaping the next phase of AI innovation – and the steps leaders can take to build AI that delivers real value.

 

The conversation will draw from GFT’s latest research study on AI, as featured on Forbes, which surveyed 945 CIOs and CTOs at organizations with $500M+ in annual revenue, across 19 countries and various industries.

 

We’ll explore how leaders can navigate the challenges posed by legacy systems, regulatory uncertainty, and other key factors:

  1. 84% of CIOs and CTOs said they’ve had to cancel at least one AI pilot or project due to legacy system limitations.
  2. 93% believe that running AI on their organization’s legacy systems without first modernizing them will eventually trigger an enterprise-wide security crisis.
  3. 54% reported that uncertainty about AI regulation has made them more cautious in deploying AI.
  4. 89% said they’re concerned that global investment in AI may be growing faster than the business value it can realistically deliver.

 

Using the data as a launchpad, this free-flowing conversation will provide a practical look at the top trends, challenges, and opportunities of the current AI landscape. Together, we’ll discuss how leaders can create AI strategies that overcome legacy system limitations, maneuver through regulatory uncertainty, and build the foundation for truly transformative AI.
