The Cisco AI Readiness Index study showed that companies can be divided into four groups with different degrees of readiness to implement and use artificial intelligence: pacesetters (fully prepared), chasers (moderately prepared), followers (limitedly ready) and laggards (unprepared).
The index revealed that only 6% of organizations in Poland belong to the first group, and most of them (64%) are in the laggards or followers categories. Globally, this percentage is 52%. Nevertheless, 95% of companies in Poland claim that they already have AI strategies or are working on their development. This is most likely due to the fact that the importance of technology implementation has significantly increased in the last six months.
The new Cisco study sheds light on the growing role of artificial intelligence in business. According to the results, 84% of companies globally and 89% in Poland believe that AI will have a significant impact on their operations. The main challenge companies face is access to data: 81% of respondents globally and as much as 92% in Poland point to the problem of information being locked in silos.
"There is a race to readiness for artificial intelligence, and organizations are under strong pressure to move from strategic planning mode to execution mode in order to leverage the transformative potential of artificial intelligence," comments Liz Centoni, Executive Vice President and General Manager for Applications and Strategy at Cisco.
"To fully leverage the benefits of AI-based products and services, companies need solutions that secure and monitor models and AI tool chains to ensure performance, protect sensitive data and systems, and provide reliable and accountable results" - she added.
The Cisco study was conducted among 8161 business and IT industry leaders from 30 countries, including Poland. Its results clearly indicate that Polish enterprises are aware of the need to invest in artificial intelligence, but they lag behind global trends when it comes to full readiness to use this technology.
