Security News > 2023 > July > Companies are rushing into generative AI without a cohesive, secure strategy

74% of respondents using generative AI say it's already improving their ability to increase revenue, and the average daily time savings from generative AI is 33%-the equivalent of 2.5 hours every workday or 13 hours each workweek.

Companies' top concern with not using generative AI is falling behind competitors-but hurdles like security concerns, lack of a cohesive AI strategy, and lack of internal policies to govern generative AI prevent adoption.

Rampant ungoverned use of generative AI. The findings reinforce that generative AI will change how work gets done: 62% of respondents expect it to transform workflows across their entire company within a year.

While companies are moving fast on deployment, employees are moving faster: 39% of respondents are already using generative AI for all of their writing and editing at work, but 80% of those say their company hasn't yet adopted generative AI. Most sales, marketing, HR, and customer support leaders consider generative AI a "Critical" priority, and 72% report different departments are leveraging it on their own without an organization-wide strategy.

64% of respondents' companies don't know how to evaluate the security of potential generative AI partners.

Companies with holistic strategies are 1.4 times more likely to be accelerating generative AI adoption than those using it at the departmental level.
