HCLTech-backed report: AI optimism high, but business impact limited
AI Summary
A new research report by Economist Enterprise, supported by HCLTech, reveals high confidence in AI within the Telecom, Media, Semiconductor, and Technology (TMT) industries. However, the report highlights a significant gap between executive optimism (91% believe AI investments deliver results) and measurable business impact, with only one-third able to quantify value. The research, based on over 200 C-suite executives, also points to an execution gap in scaling AI adoption, with only 20% having AI upskilling strategies and 17% reporting active AI governance. HCLTech emphasizes the need to move beyond experimentation to industrialization for measurable business impact and new growth.
