The 2024 Board of Directors Survey from Gartner , for example, found that 80% of non-executive directors believe their current board practices and structures are inadequate to effectively oversee AI. What are we trying to accomplish, and is AI truly a fit? Now many are admitting they werent quite ready.
Developers unimpressed by the early returns of generativeAI for coding take note: Software development is headed toward a new era, when most code will be written by AI agents and reviewed by experienced developers, Gartner predicts. Gen AI tools are advancing quickly, he says. Some companies are already on the bandwagon.
Youre under this pressure unless youve given up and relinquished responsibility for formulating the organizations technology vision to a chief digital officer, chieftechnologyofficer, or some other titled individual whose job is to make promises you as CIO are supposed to keep. Dont do that.
The launch of ChatGPT in November 2022 set off a generativeAI gold rush, with companies scrambling to adopt the technology and demonstrate innovation. They have a couple of use cases that they’re pushing heavily on, but they are building up this portfolio of traditional machine learning and ‘predictive’ AI use cases as well.”
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.
The high price of FOMO New AI tools are coming out seemingly every week, each one promising to revolutionize some area of work. In September, for example, OpenAI released a new model that claims to have unprecedented reasoning abilities in math and science. There were new releases for AI video and image generation, too.
Agentic AI, the more focused alternative to general-purpose generativeAI, is gaining momentum in the enterprise, with Forrester having named it a top emerging technology for 2025 in June. Vendors could also charge a small price per audio input or output. However, some experts see other price models emerging.
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.
As technologies evolve, CIOs still need to build mutual commitment and support for IT initiatives,” says tech consultant and author Gerald Leonard. For example, it’s easy to build the capability to answer questions related to HR policies. You can’t ignore what’s going on in the world,” he says.
From fostering an over-reliance on hallucinations produced by knowledge-poor bots, to enabling new cybersecurity threats, AI can create significant problems if not implemented carefully and effectively. These issues mean many gen AI projects remain stuck at the prototyping stage.
As VP of cloud capabilities at software company Endava, Radu Vunvulea consults with many CIOs in large enterprises. For example, organizations that build an AI solution using Open AI need to consider more than the AI service. Where are those workloads going? Hidden costs of public cloud For St.
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. For example, a faculty member might want to teach a new section of a course.
The impact of generativeAIs, including ChatGPT and other large language models (LLMs), will be a significant transformation driver heading into 2024. Below are several generativeAI drivers for CIOs to consider when evolving their digital transformation priorities.
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.
The early bills for generativeAI experimentation are coming in, and many CIOs are finding them more hefty than they’d like — some with only themselves to blame. CIOs are also turning to OEMs such as Dell Project Helix or HPE GreenLake for AI, IDC points out.
I explored how Bedrock enables customers to build a secure, compliant foundation for generativeAI applications. Amazon Bedrock equips you with a powerful and comprehensive toolset to transform your generativeAI from a one-size-fits-all solution into one that is finely tailored to your unique needs.
Experimenting with the novelty Despite the heavy adoption, CIOs’ concerns about the value of AI doesn’t surprise Ryan Kane, owner of IT managed services provider Soaring Towers. Kane has seen companies roll out Microsoft Copilot, for example, without any employee training about its uses. “I
GenerativeAI has been hyped so much over the past two years that observers see an inevitable course correction ahead — one that should prompt CIOs to rethink their gen AI strategies. Gen AI projects can cost millions of dollars to implement and incur huge ongoing costs, Gartner notes. What comes up must come down.”
GenerativeAI and large language models (LLMs) offer new possibilities, although some businesses might hesitate due to concerns about consistency and adherence to company guidelines. The personalized content is built using generativeAI by following human guidance and provided sources of truth. Our core values are: 1.
Eight different prompts were created that were tailored to the specific output data each agent was charged with generating. They tested the prompts, modified them to give better examples, changed the wording of what was being asked from the LLM and kept testing. And one million output records in each of the eight files.
When Morgan Stanley announced its new generativeAI support tools for financial advisors last week, it talked about gaining efficiencies from its notetaking abilities. Morgan Stanley needs to have a strategy in place,” and to discuss it publicly, said HP Newquist, the executive director of AIconsulting firm The Relayer Group.

For the rest, gen AI will greatly augment the power and value of the role of the CIO, he says. I like driving the business forward.”
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.
The rate of companies that have either already deployed generativeAI or are actively exploring it is accelerating to the point where, combined, there are very few holdouts. The use of gen AI in the enterprise was nearly nothing in November 2022, where the only tools commonly available were AI image or early text generators.
In an industry where companies typically relied on third-party consultants to analyze their data, we believed our approach was a slam dunk. The CIO’s role is traditionally focused on operations and security, while the CTO, a more recent position, drives innovation and development. IT’s image problem? We’re all in it or we are not.
To help alleviate the complexity and extract insights, the foundation, using different AI models, is building an analytics layer on top of this database, having partnered with DataBricks and DataRobot. Some of the models are traditional machine learning (ML), and some, LaRovere says, are gen AI, including the new multi-modal advances.
For example, most say they love both technology and problem-solving — a combination that often got them interested in the IT profession in the first place. For example, he took on the CTO role at Rodan + Fields because he “liked the appeal of being part of the product.” Second, be intentional. Curiosity tops his list. “I
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.
Other respondents said they aren’t using any generativeAI models, are building their own, or are using an open-source alternative. Putting aside the fact this is an astronomically high adoption rate for a brand new technology, it’s also an indicator of how risky this space is. And the AI writing assistant category grew by 177%.
Officials from the White House, the US Department of State, and the US Department of Commerce will meet Chinese representatives in Geneva for the talks, which are aimed at exchanging views on understanding and addressing the risks of advanced AI systems.
I take what I learned in the scriptwriting seminar about passion and the narrative arc into every meeting I attend,” one chieftechnologyofficer said. The consulting giant said it was buying the 29-person, London-based company to help clients articulate and activate their vision and change strategies.
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. It’s important to avoid speaking technical jargon, but sometimes you’re asked to define a technical term or explain a technology. Best practices for board meetings abound.
His goal is to surface answers to those big questions and to “ensure all departments within our organization understand how AI assists with their day-to-day tasks and how to use it properly and safely.” Achieve aggressive AI goals That’s not to suggest CIOs are slowing down their AI work. We’re piloting, PoC-ing.

An AI sales automation tool, for example, can be designed to analyze large datasets and make market predictions.
Roland Carandang, global leader for innovation at consultancy Protiviti, says the fact that organizations “don’t know what they’ve got” in and around those legacy systems can also stymie IT’s efforts to innovate. And it prevents turf wars between groups, so, for example, a business unit won’t run away with an innovation that IT proposed.
The biggest challenge is finding talented team members at the market rate,” says Patrick Isaac, CTO at Accuro Solutions, adding that the current environment demands more intensive recruiting efforts. These include not only cyber, but also cloud and generativeAI, he says. S&P Global, for example, is entering its AI 2.0
GenerativeAI touches every aspect of the enterprise, and every aspect of society,” says Bret Greenstein, partner and leader of the gen AI go-to-market strategy at PricewaterhouseCoopers. Then gen AI came out. The world has flipped since 2022,” says David McCurdy, chief enterprise architect and CTO at Insight.
