Tata Comms: 77% Firms Prioritize AI, But 65% Use Legacy Infrastructure

A new report by Tata Communications and Bloomberg Media Studios reveals a significant gap in enterprise AI adoption. While 77% of global leaders consider AI a board-level priority, a substantial 65% are hampered by legacy or developing infrastructure not equipped for AI's demands. The report, 'Building Durable AI Advantage,' surveyed 501 senior executives and highlights that the challenge lies not in adopting AI, but in scaling it due to foundational tech debt. Key issues include uneven infrastructure modernization, integration difficulties with legacy systems, skills shortages, governance delays, and poor ROI visibility. Tata Communications emphasizes that the true differentiator for AI success is robust infrastructure and integration, positioning itself to help clients overcome these scaling hurdles.
