AI adoption is soaring - but many businesses don't have the infrastructure or governance to support it (www.techradar.com)

A new report from Nutanix reveals that AI adoption is on the rise, with 85% of organizations increasing container usage to support AI workloads. However, the report highlights significant infrastructure and governance challenges that many businesses face, including departmental silos that hinder effective AI deployment. A staggering 82% of leaders acknowledge that their current setups are not suitable for on-prem AI workloads, highlighting a critical gap in readiness for the demands of AI technology. The rise of "shadow AI" indicates that employees are eager to utilize AI tools for enhancing customer experience, productivity, and innovation, yet many do so without the necessary oversight, creating potential business risks. The report emphasizes the need for organizations to enhance their infrastructure to provide secure access to AI capabilities. As data sovereignty becomes increasingly important, companies must prioritize enterprise-grade security and resilience to effectively leverage AI and ML advancements.
