According to recent research from Console Connect, a significant 82% of Singaporean business leaders and CTOs believe that a hasty adoption of generative AI (Gen AI) could lead to enduring consequences in technology infrastructure planning for their organisation.
“The rapid development of generative AI creates a demand on networks that we have not seen before,” says Paul Gampe, CTO of Console Connect. “As CTOs and senior IT leaders adopt Gen AI tools within their organisation, they need to consider the short and long-term implications of moving larger volumes of sensitive data to and between private and public clouds.”
Embracing GenAI
The survey conducted by Arlington Research on 1,000 CTOs and senior IT leaders across the UK, US, Australia, Hong Kong, and Singapore also revealed that 81% said their network infrastructure does not have the capacity to embrace Gen AI to its full potential, even though 89% have it on their tech roadmap.
Around 80% of the respondents believe their IT teams are under increasing pressure to adopt Gen AI.
Barriers to adopting genAI
The report brings to light that 58% of respondents in Singapore are rightly concerned about security when it comes to adopting GenAI. They fear that it could potentially expose their organisation to the dangers of cyberattacks or data breaches. Alongside these cybersecurity risks, a lack of IT skills/expertise to support GenAI adoption is also a significant barrier to its adoption in their organisations.
