Dun and Bradstreet has been using AI and ML for years, and that includes gen AI, says Michael Manos, the companys CTO. Weve been innovating with AI, ML, and LLMs for years, he says. But 76% of respondents say theres a severe shortage of personnel skilled in AI at their organization, according to the August report.
GenerativeAI has seen faster and more widespread adoption than any other technology today, with many companies already seeing ROI and scaling up use cases into wide adoption. Vendors are adding gen AI across the board to enterprise software products, and AI developers havent been idle this year either.
Chieftechnologyofficers are key players in the enterprise C-suite, oftentimes working in collaboration with CIOs at the forefront of new and innovative technologies. They are among the most important hires organizations are making today due to the business value that successful technology deployments can bring.
Baker says productivity is one of the main areas of gen AI deployment for the company, which is now available through Office 365, and allows employees to do such tasks as summarize emails, or help with PowerPoint and Excel documents. Theyre used to automate code generation, improve code structure, and even identify potential defects.
Agentic AIs, a form of technology designed to run specific functions within an organization without human intervention, are gaining traction as enterprises look to automate business workflows, augment the output of human workers, and derive value from generativeAI. Kumar adds.
Even at fractions of a penny per token, this ends up being tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars. What if we shifted our thinking 180 degrees? There is no faster way to erode ROI than through unneeded token costs and extra processing costs. Now is the time to explore agentic AI.

And if you’re presenting, it’s best to study older board packages and consult with colleagues about how the directors discuss, debate, and finalize key decisions. A good response is, “We don’t have a timeline yet, but we’re conducting customer research and running a proof of concept around the technology. It’s a career-limiting move.
On the one hand, artificial intelligence has helped both technology departments and the business units to work better, faster, and cheaper. We had to drop some critical projects to all of a sudden deal with AI as it came to the forefront very quickly.” It hit us all and kept us from looking at the things we were working on,” he says.

As a field, biotech has been a leader in applying machine learning (think protein folding); and it’s not clear whether generativeAI tools will contribute much to core business of biotech. The fact they can do even a fraction of the things they can do is, quite frankly, unbelievable. Get your feet wet with prototypes.
This idea is also important when working with GenerativeAI models — whether they produce text, code, or images.

AI solutions need strategic plans In contrast to AI tools, AI solutions address strategic business needs, the researchers note.
While some enterprises have dedicated cloud networking experts in house to handle the nuances of interconnecting multiple cloud, others are partnering with consulting firms to tackle global interconnectivity issues. Other observers point to potential use of NaaS and multicloud networking for automating generativeAI and agentic AI workloads.
