Survey shows organisations ’ AI capabilities lag far behind ambitions
Fivetran , a global leader in modern data integration , has announced the results of a survey which shows that while 87 % of organisations consider Artificial Intelligence ( AI ) vital to their business survival , 86 % say they would struggle to fully trust AI to make all business decisions without human intervention .
The majority ( 90 %) of respondents report their organisations continue to rely on manual data processes .
Conducted by Vanson Bourne , the online survey of 550 senior IT and data science professionals across the US , UK , Ireland , France and Germany also found that only 14 % of organisations consider their AI maturity ‘ advanced ’ – meaning that they use general purpose AI to automatically make predictions and business decisions .
More than two in five respondents ( 41 %) conceded there was vast room for improvement in how their organisation used AI .
“ This study highlights significant gaps in efficient data movement and access across organisations . A successful AI programme depends on a solid data foundation , starting with a cloud data warehouse or lake as its base ,” said George Fraser , CEO of Fivetran .
“ Analytic teams that utilise a modern data stack can more readily extend the value of their data and maximise their investments in AI and data science .”
