Did you know 64 Percent of CEOs Say That Gen AI Will Cause Cybersecurity Issues
It seems like every single tech company out there is trying to get in on
AI while it’s still in a relatively nascent stage of its developmental
process. In spite of the fact that this is the case, suffice it to say
that generative AI has the potential to cause tremendous harm as well
with all things having been considered and taken into account. A recent survey conducted by PwC shed some light on the matter at hand.
With
all of that having been said and now out of the way, it is important to
note that 4,700 executives from around the world were asked what they
thought about AI. It turns out that as many as 64% of them are of the
opinion that it might cause significant cybersecurity breaches in the
near to distant future. However, it bears mentioning that many of them
were aware of the advantages of generative AI as well.
58% of the executives that participated in this survey stated that
generative AI will make the quality of their products higher than might
have been the case otherwise. 70% indicated that using this cutting edge
tech noticeably alter the manner in which their enterprise creates and
maintains value in the long run.
Perhaps the most commonly agreed
benefit of all was in the realm of worker productivity. 64% of survey
respondents said that their employees will likely show better efficiency
because of the fact that this is the sort of thing that could
potentially end up generative AI will aid them in various tasks. 60%
also stated that their own productivity is likely going to go up.
Out
of all the CEOs that responded to questions presented in this poll,
just 3% felt like gen AI would harm the bottom line. 44% had the
opposite belief, saying that they expect the tech to increase their
profits over the course of the next year. However, 63% were concerned
about misinformation, with 55% acknowledging their fears regarding how
Gen AI might negatively influence their reputations down the line. It’s
essential to factor in the risks, but it seems that the pros outweigh
the cons according to CEOs.
